Glenn smiled at Dorothy, but there was a hint of sadness in his gentle eyes."Dorothy, where's Joyce? I'd like to talk to her for a moment."Dorothy composed herself and replied with a smile, "Joyce had something to attend to, so she left earlier. We were just planning to leave as well. We just happened to run into you."Dorothy could remain calm when it came to dealing with others. She only showed uneasiness in front of Tyler."If you have something to say to her, you can just tell me. I'll convey it to her."Glenn glanced at the restroom with a trace of disappointment in his eyes."Oh, it's nothing important. I'll save it for the next time we meet. The music festival's still ongoing, so I'll have to head back."After that, Glenn turned away and went back inside.Dorothy watched Glenn leave with a calculating gaze."If Joyce and Tyler's relationship doesn't work out, Glenn would be an excellent option as well. I can tell from his eyes that he still has feelings for our dear J
Jean retracted her gaze. She didn't dare to look at Tyler as she said softly, "I didn't expect this to happen. I will be careful next time."She was somewhat prepared if anyone else wanted to hurt her. However, those who attempted to were those who watched her grow up. They knew her character very well. This was why it was difficult to protect herself. Tyler snorted and looked displeased. He said coldly, "There is no 'next time'! You are not allowed to go anywhere. Stay in Teak Villa from now on!" Jean was stunned and looked at Tyler in disbelief. She quickly replied, "I didn't do anything wrong. You…" Tyler looked at her icily. "You can only stay here since you can't protect yourself. I will have my men to watch over you."Jean furrowed her eyebrows. Tyler answered a call on his phone and headed outside before she could say anything else. Jean stared blankly at Tyler walking away. The bodyguard stopped her at the entrance as she was about to chase after him. "

A date had been fixed too.The Michaelses were now in an awkward position.The Michaels family had benefited a lot from the Larsons all these years and publicized their relationship with the Larsons.The engagement between the Page and Larson families was going to make the Michaels family a laughing stock.Dorothy and Joyce must be very anxious.Jean knew she could leave Teak Villa as soon as they came up with a plan.Tyler visited Teak Villa once every day.Jean never asked about him and Esme, nor did she bring it up.Tyler always stayed in Teak Villa for a few hours to observe her condition. He left once he confirmed that everything was okay.Tyler forbade the Michaelses' to visit Jean ever since she got hurt.Dorothy came by a few times, but the door closed in her face.Soon, the news about Joyce and Tyler's marriage was all over the internet.The article said that Joyce and Tyler were married a while ago.Je
Jean walked on the pavement carefully because she almost fell the last time.She lowered her head to look at her steps. When she looked up, she noticed that the anxious man stopped to wait for her.Jean paused slightly and stopped in her tracks. Tyler reached out and grabbed her hand before she could respond. He said, "I have no time to be strolling with you."Jean was unfazed and wanted to retract her hand. However, Tyler continued grabbing her hand and continued his walk.He seemed to have slowed his pace.Neither of them spoke during the walk to the garage.Tyler let go of her hand immediately. He opened the car door, shoved her into the passenger seat, and shut it.Jean was startled. Tyler walked around the car and got in the driver's seat. He started the car and drove off.He appeared indifferent. He was nothing like the gentleman who held her hand on the pavement.Jean felt an inexplicable feeling of disappointment.She could still feel Tyler's warmth on her palm.She
Tyler walked in with a cold look on his face. His gaze was stern.He bent down slightly to pick Lilian up from the floor. He gave Jean a warning look."If anything happens to her, I'll come after you."Jean furrowed her brows. She looked at Tyler in displeasure and said, "If you're worried she'll get hurt, kindly ask Ms. Page to stay away from me."Jean looked indifferently at Tyler carrying Lilian out of the room. Her face was stoic.Lilian said softly while nestled in Tyler's embrace, "Tyler, it's not Ms. Michael's fault. It's mine."Tyler looked at how pale and in pain she was and quickened his pace to her ward.Chris rushed over and saw Tyler carrying Lilian away with a dark expression. Then, he looked at Jean, who was standing at the door quietly. She didn't look well either."Madam … Let me send you home."Jean took a deep breath, walked out of the room, and entered the elevator.Tyler had planned everything. Even if she gave birth to her baby, she would never have a st
Dorothy reacted swiftly. She put on a big smile and looked at the maid at the door.Then, she said courteously, "There's no need to go to the trouble. Joyce is not feeling well. We'll be heading back now."Dorothy looked at Jean after speaking.Jean lowered her head and followed Dorothy out of the bedroom.Her pace was slow, and her ankle was aching. However, she could still handle the pain.Dorothy was walking in front of Jean and urging her, "Walk faster."Jean caught up to her.The maid at the door glanced at Jean but didn't notice anything. She walked into the house and was comforted to see Joyce lying in bed."Let me reapply the medication on your ankle, Madam."A hint of panic flashed across Joyce's eyes when she heard the maid. She answered quickly, "Let's do it after my shower."The maid didn't suspect anything. She only noticed that Joyce's voice was slightly hoarser than before. However, she didn't give it much thought since Tyler had brought her to the hospital to
Dorothy had noticed that Jean was different a while ago.She was unsure what would happen if she forced Jean into a corner."I have my plans."Barnabas furrowed his brows. The look on his face was stormy."What are we supposed to do if Joyce asks about this? Don't tell me you've gone soft on Jean."The look on Dorothy's face changed.She never had a soft spot for Jean.She didn't raise Jean, so she felt differently for Jean than she did for Joyce.She would do whatever it took to stop Jean if Jean's mere existence affected Joyce's future."That's not it. Since she wants to leave Tyler and Henkel, then let her go somewhere else. She will be alone and have no one to depend on. Wouldn't it be easier for us to do whatever we want to her then?"Barnabas finally understood after Dorothy explained."I thought you've gone soft on that rascal Jean."Dorothy didn't respond to Barnabas's remark this time.She stared in the direction Simone's car had left in. The look on her face was
Resovia. Jean and Simone headed out of the airport with their luggage. They saw a familiar group of bodyguards as they left. When Jean saw the bodyguard leader beside Tyler, her face changed. The bodyguard leader was still at Teak Villa when she left the place. His appearance at Resovia airport raised some alarm bells for Jean. She grabbed Simone's hand and went back into the airport. Simone looked at how serious the look on Jean's face was. It was as if she encountered a problem. She couldn't help but feel perplexed. "What's the matter?" Jean pulled Simone to somewhere empty.She deeply breathed and said solemnly, "Tyler's men are here." Simone froze."That can't be." Her eyes were full of shock. Tyler wouldn't take notice of Jean since she swapped her identity back from Joyce. His official wife was now residing in Teak Villa. "Could you have made a mistake?" Jean shook her head. She was by Tyler's side for three years and was familiar with the bodyg
