Inside the private room, Yvette sat on Toby's left. She gazed at him deeply and asked, "Toby, the office building earlier was yours, wasn't it?"Keeping calm, Toby said, "Yes, it was."Hearing this, Yvette immediately said, "Then why didn't you just tell Jean that it was yours? Why'd you involve a real estate agent?"Maintaining his composure, he replied in a low voice, "You won't understand. Just please keep quiet about this and stop asking so many questions."Yvette pursed her lips upon hearing his response. Then, she asked, "So should our studio be located nearby as well? I heard there's a Glendale-style architectural workspace near the office building. You're planning to place us there, then?"Toby hummed in affirmation.When Timothy entered the room, he saw Yvette looking at Toby excitedly.He smiled slightly and took a seat across from Toby.Yvette quickly gestured for Jean to sit next to Toby.She said, "Jean, Toby has already found a place for us to move our studio. It
Timothy deeply regretted his past actions. However, regret couldn't change anything. It was clear that Jean had no intention of forgiving him or Dorothy.Even though they weren't hostile toward each other on the surface, it was evident to Timothy that Jean held a grudge against them in her heart.After dinner, Toby and Jean returned to the hotel together.Meanwhile, only Yvette went back to Jacobs Residence.Jean planned to take the next day off before returning to Henkel.Timothy had already packed his bags and left early in the morning as he didn't want to impose on Jean and Toby. He wanted to create an opportunity for them to spend the day alone.After he left, he gave Jean a call on his phone and encouraged her to take a day off to go sightseeing in Dortsham. He even told her not to worry about work.After exchanging a few words, Jean hung up the call.Then, she got up and began to get ready.It was at this time that a call from Miriam came in.When Jean saw that the call
When Elena saw that Miriam had called Jean, she began to cry out in distress in the hospital, "Mom, you have to stand up for Finn this time! Finn has never been in trouble, yet he got locked up at the police station because of Jean. He was even detained publicly too!"Mom, I'm not just going to stand by and let Jean get away with this!"Miriam regarded Elena indifferently and said in a serious tone, "We can't just take Finn's word and put all the blame on Jean."Miriam was on the hospital bed. She had an indifferent expression on her face.Elena sucked in a deep breath. Looking at Miriam with displeasure, she said coldly, "Fine. I'll get Finn to come over later. He's still catching up on sleep right now. He was locked up at the police station the entire night yesterday and has suffered enough."Miriam let out a few coughs. At this moment, the butler approached Elena and said softly, "Mrs. Jacobs, Mrs. Jacobs Senior needs time to rest, so please be quiet."Upon hearing that, Elena
When Jean heard what Miriam said, her expression changed.She figured that Miriam would want to hold her accountable for what had happened to Finn.However, Jean hadn't expected Miriam to target Toby instead of her.Jean took a deep breath and was about to speak. However, Toby immediately spoke up, "Grandma, I just wanted to teach him a lesson. After all, going into someone's hotel room without permission is a serious crime."Thankfully, he did it to Jean. If he had done it to someone else, the consequences might've been even more dire. With how widespread the internet is these days, it wouldn't be good if the news got out through other sources."If someone with ill intentions were to exploit the situation, all the hotels under Jacobs Group might get boycotted in the future. Although I reported the incident, I didn't make a very big deal out of it, did I? Very few people know about what had happened."Jean was relieved to hear Toby's explanation. At this moment, Miriam's stern ex
Jean felt repulsed by the self-satisfied smile on Finn's face.At this moment, Toby immediately positioned himself between Jean and Finn. He effectively shielded Jean behind him, disallowing Finn from getting any closer to her.When Finn realized what Toby was doing, he smiled and said, "Toby, you don't need to look so tense. If I had wanted to do anything to her, I would've done it last night. I actually have a lot of respect for women like Ms. Michaels."Upon hearing that, Jean sighed inwardly. She recalled how ominous Finn's dark figure had looked in her room last night.It seemed that Finn was intent on bringing up what had happened last night.Jean took a deep breath. A hint of displeasure crossed her expression.When Miriam caught the wolfish expression on Finn's face, her face darkened."You good-for-nothing brat! You've stirred up more trouble again! Hurry up and apologize to Jean," she demanded coldly.Upon hearing Miriam's demand, he did as he was asked calmly. "I'm s
Elena's tone had turned exceptionally sharp and icy. Upon hearing her, Neil couldn't help his expression from darkening."What happened to make you so upset? Sit down and tell me," he said.Elena took a seat while looking incredibly unhappy. She started in a cold tone, "Do you even know what that darling son of yours has done? He's gotten together with a woman who was kicked out of the Larsons! This same woman even managed to land your eldest son in jail!"She continued, "If I hadn't pulled some strings, Finn would still be behind bars right now."Upon hearing that, Neil's brows furrowed. His gaze sharpened as he asked, "Are you talking about the woman who got married to Tyler Larson? It's the same person in the rumors, right? Joyce Michaels?"Joyce was a famous pianist, after all. The Jacobses were involved in the entertainment industry, so it was only natural for them to be familiar with her.Elena took a deep breath and said, "It's Jean Michaels. She's Joyce's sister."She go
Neil nodded after hearing what Jean said."I see. I believe I've read about you on the news. You're Tyler Larson's wife, are you not?" he asked.When Jean noticed the triumphant smile on Elena's face, she instantly understood what was going on.Pursing her lips gently, she replied in a calm tone, "Yes, that's right."Before she could explain, Toby stepped forward and interjected, "But Jean and Tyler are already divorced."Neil's expression darkened upon hearing that. "Toby, come to my ward with me. I have something to discuss with you," he said coldly.Then, Neil spun on his heel and walked out of Miriam's ward.Jean couldn't help but look worried when she saw that.Toby shot her a reassuring look, signaling for her to not be nervous.She watched as Toby followed Neil out of the ward while taking a deep breath.After they left, Miriam's ward was filled with a harsh silence.Finn got up from the couch with a smile on his lips. "I'm going to go check on them, Grandma."Miri
Neil started to get angry after hearing what Toby said.He looked furious as he fixed his gaze on Toby."When your mother was with me, she still had her virtue intact. Do you mean to tell me that Jean is comparable to her?" Neil asked in a low voice.Toby looked at him indifferently. "Whether or not someone is virtuous or not can't be determined with just words. As you've said, my mother still had her virtue intact when she was with you, but how did you treat her in return?"Since she disappeared, you've never once used any of your resources to search for her. You …"Before Toby could finish, Neil had already raised his hand and delivered a heavy slap across his face.Toby took the hit head-on.Neil glared at Toby with a cold and furious expression on his face. "Toby, I entrusted the company and all our assets to you for managing. I didn't do all that for you to talk back to me over a random woman!"Finn arrived just in time to witness Toby getting slapped by Neil. The older ma
