After hearing what the caller said, Jean's gaze turned solemn. She began to understand why the caller hesitated to contact Toby.She took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to meet with me?"The caller hummed in response. "I have evidence that can prove the involvement of the people who committed the crime. Let's meet at Skyblade Square, Ms. Michaels. Please make sure to come alone. I don't want Mr. Toby to see me."Jean furrowed her brows slightly and agreed, "Alright."As soon as she agreed, the caller hung up.Jean was puzzled over what was happening. Nevertheless, she grabbed her coat and left the room.The fact that the caller possessed evidence and had expressed her intention to hand it over to Jean suggested that she had been plagued with guilt over the years.Whoever it was also seemed to be very concerned about Toby's wide influence at the moment. She was probably certain that he would get to the truth eventually.As such, the culprit had decided to h
The staff member who had seen Jean walk out with his own two eyes was stunned. Then, he said, "I can confirm that I saw Ms. Michaels walking out from her room."The staff here were all world-class. They would look at the time whenever any of their guests walked out.As he spoke, he looked at the surveillance footage. When he saw that he did not appear on screen either, he said, "I was standing right here then."Toby's expression shifted at once. "I'll check her room."He walked toward her room and keyed in the passcode to her door to open it. There was no sign of Jean in her room.Toby immediately understood that someone had tinkered with the surveillance footage.With a darkened expression, he called one of his friends and told him to recover the lost footage immediately. Then, he began sending out people to look for Jean.Jean was already in the kidnappers' car. They took her to a cargo ship by means of helicopter.When she woke up, everything was pitch-black around her. The
They used a long piece of rope to tie Jean up. Once the rope was secure, they threw her into the ocean.With a splash, she was mercilessly dunked into the sea.Everyone stood on the edge, looking at the scene in amusement.Jean sank all the way, Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and her body began to float.Once she reached the surface, she realized that she was in the ocean. There were many people looking at her in excitement from above.Her expression shifted. She looked to be at a loss, but her survival instincts kicked in, and she began to swim.After a while, she realized that the rope was pulling at her. She grabbed it tightly and wound it around her so that the rope would pull her alone.The men aboard were looking at her with smiles on their faces.They rarely saw someone as calm as Jean. If it were anyone else, they would have lost their minds and drowned.The huge man began to grab at the rope in anger. Ten thousand was not a small sum.The rope slapped Jean's face, an
Jean did not understand what Coleen had said at all.Seeing the confusion on Jean's face, as if she remembered nothing at all, Coleen sighed. "Alright. I won't talk about this anymore."…A month later in the most exclusive private hospital in Faulkland, Jean got up from the bed. She was about to pour herself a glass of water when a man walked in.He looked at her coldly, as if he wanted to murder her.Jean knew that she was in Faulkland. She was a foreigner in this place.The doctors and nurses that Jean had come into contact with were all from Faulkland. Besides Coleen and another woman who took care of her, Jean had not seen anyone from her own country.Although the man before her looked large, he looked like a compatriot. Jean suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, so she smiled at him. "Have you walked into the wrong ward?"Jean had only seen Coleen and Mrs. Spencer this month. She had not seen anyone else.Tyler looked at the smiling woman before him with a frown. "I'm Ty
Jean only knew bits and pieces from Mrs. Spencer.After Jean said that, Tyler mocked, "It's not just bad."Hearing him confirm it, Jean's expression shifted.Taking a deep breath, she looked at him a little nervously. "Are you going to leave me alone here?"This wasn't their homeland, after all. Although Jean had no relatives here, she felt that she probably had relatives back in her own country.Tyler looked at her coldly. She appeared nervous and panicked. There was no sign of the calmness and steadiness she had displayed just a few months ago.Sighing, he asked coldly, "Are you afraid of me leaving you here?"Jean nodded, then forced out a smile. With honeyed lips, she said, "I know you're not someone like that. You wouldn't leave me here. Even if you don't want me anymore, you'll send me back to my family, won't you?"Tyler smiled coldly.Jean looked at him with a nervous smile. Her facial expression was incredibly awkward.Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel an ache i
Jean looked incredibly lost after Tyler said that. She looked at him in bewilderment.What did he just say?Taking her hand off, Tyler said in a low voice, "You chose this path. You should stick to your decision till the end."After that, he began to leave.Although Jean's mind was in a mess, she knew that if Tyler left, she would starve here.She grabbed his elbow tightly, not letting him go."I regret it all now. I won't give up on you anymore, hubby. Please don't give up on me, okay?"The way she called him her hubby made Tyler's heart leap.Shoving her aside, he glared at her with a dark expression on his face. "What the fuck do you want to do, Jean Michaels?"Jean's body trembled when he roared, and panic flashed through her eyes. Biting her lip softly, she said, "I haven't eaten anything yet."Shame was written all over her face.With a sigh, Tyler said coldly, "There's a canteen in the hospital."Jean continued to bite her lip. "I don't have any money, and I don't kn
Jean was lost.A few million felt like a huge sum of money.She didn't think the chicken tasted good anymore.She said carefully, "I'm sorry for being a burden to you."Tyler looked at her indifferently. Seeing how wary she was, he sighed and said coldly, "You can pay me back in the future."Jean nodded. "I'll pay you back."Tyler's expression darkened when she agreed to it so readily. "You don't even have the money to feed yourself, but you're talking about paying me back. Do you take me as a fool, Jean?"Jean pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly. She stayed quiet after that.Tyler glanced at her icily and sent her back once she was done eating.Mrs. Spencer sent food over for Jean after picking up Dorian. When she saw that Jean wasn't in her ward, she looked for her anxiously.When she saw Jean and Tyler walking over, she sighed in relief."You made me worry, Ms. Michaels. Please take your phone with you if you head out the next time." She put Jean's phone into her hands w
Shock colored Jean's eyes. She looked to be in disbelief."Is that true?"Tyler was such a brilliant man. He had outstanding looks and a good figure. He was wealthy too.Something must have malfunctioned in her head. That could be the only reason why she dumped him.Mrs. Spencer nodded seriously. "Yes. I don't know what the specific problems were, though. This is all hearsay."She looked serious as she said all that. She didn't look like she was lying at all.On top of that, Tyler had looked at Jean with nothing but hatred, so Jean believed Mrs. Spencer's words.She looked at Mrs. Spencer sullenly. "He must really hate me now."Mrs. Spencer began tidying up the blanket on the bed. "He's actually still quite good to you. The hospital bill here isn't something that average people can afford."And when you were saved, your rescuer recognized your face and called Tyler, saying that he would release you for a ransom fee of six million dollars. Tyler paid that for you."Jean was st
