Jean raised an eyebrow as she stared at Lilian. She pursed her lips and said, "I truly don't understand, Ms. Page. It's weird how you're so interested in the husband and father of another woman."Given your looks and abilities, finding a guy shouldn't be a big deal. Yet, you've chosen to mess with someone else's relationship."Lilian took a deep breath, her face unusually pale.At that moment, Jean tightly gripped Tyler's arm. She paused to observe Lilian's condition.Aware of Lilian's fragile health, Jean was hesitant to say anything that could push her over the edge.But Lilian was right there in front of Tyler, using the excuse of a project discussion to get closer to him. Jean felt she had to say something. She didn't want to look like a pushover.Seeing Lilian looking so fragile, Jean bit her lip. She kept a tight grip on Tyler's arm and voiced what Lilian wanted to say."Honey, I'm not feeling well. This whole thing with Ms. Page is making me uncomfortable."Tyler paused
Jean could tell that Tyler was suggesting she might be jealous.In response, she acted angry and pretended to punch him.Laughing, Tyler caught her fist with his hand.After a thorough examination, the doctor said, "Madam seems to be in good health with no issues."Tyler frowned and gazed at Jean as if he was trying to figure something out.Feeling his stare, Jean pursed her lips and said, "I'm feeling fine now. I was just a bit upset after seeing Ms. Page earlier."Tyler felt relieved after hearing that.As she walked up to him, he teased, "Calling it a bit of jealousy is an understatement. It seems you're incredibly jealous."Jean took a deep breath and snapped, "Well, you'd be no different. If a guy were constantly hanging around me, you'd be annoyed too. I don't like it when others pay too much attention to you."Jean was honest about her feelings, and Tyler responded by holding her hand and pulling her close.He reassured her, "It's okay now. I've set clear boundaries wi
Lilian, with an oxygen mask on, seemed displeased upon hearing Jane's words."This business is my family's. Even if I want to sell it, why do I need your approval?" Lilian asked.Jane gave Lilian a cold look. "You might not know this, but the Pages' business isn't just your father's alone. My husband has a share of it too. We get annual dividends, even though we don't have managerial authority. "Wondering why? Because we own shares with dividends, and there's a rule—anyone who wishes to sell Page Co. needs all our approval."Jane threw the contract at Lilian and exclaimed, "How dare you try to sell Page Co. behind our backs!"Lilian stayed silent as she clenched her teeth.Jane's tone turned icy as she continued, "Your health is deteriorating, and it's about time for you to step down. "Esme, the rightful heiress of the Page family, didn't even consider selling Page Co. She simply stepped down. Here's an agreement. Sign it, and Emmett can take charge starting from tomorrow."L
It was finally Dorian's birthday.This year, Jean was going to celebrate it with him for the first time.Coleen had been getting ready for this special day since a week ago.She had invited some of Dorian's classmates to Larson Residence.Given that Dorian attended a prestigious school, his classmates hailed from affluent backgrounds.The invitations were met with enthusiasm.Kids saw it as a chance to forge connections.As for parents, they viewed it as a chance to explore potential opportunities.So, Larson Residence buzzed with activity and lively chatter on the day of Dorian's birthday.The decorations were carefully chosen to cater to the children's preferences.Jean and Tyler went downstairs early to extend a warm welcome to the arriving guests.Tyler's friends arrived promptly. Robin, who was in charge of greeting the guests, also made an early appearance.As Terence entered Larson Residence, he spotted Robin hard at work.A hint of nervousness crossed Robin's face
Brian couldn't help but make a lighthearted remark when he noticed Robin taking her seat."Terence seems to have the worst luck. How about you give it a shot, Ms. Sage? Even going against him is driving me crazy."Robin pursed her lips and wore a faint smile.Tossing a card onto the table, she replied, "Luck hasn't exactly been on my side either."Brian arched an eyebrow, fixing his gaze on Robin."Ms. Sage, it seems like you've been intentionally avoiding me lately. You haven't even dropped by my company," Brian said."Ms. Jennings is currently overseeing your project. I have other commitments, Mr. Collins," Robin responded professionally.Brian acknowledged her explanation while noting Robin's reserved demeanor.Just as Terence returned from the restroom, Robin drew a card. With a smile, she neatly laid out all her cards on the table."I've won. Three of a kind," she announced, happily collecting the money tossed in by everyone.Just at that moment, Terence came up from beh
Terence returned to sit next to Robin after discarding a card. He said, "It's your turn to bid."Robin paused and glanced at the cards in her hand. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm a bit off today. Why don't you play, Mr. Weiss?" On the side, Ryan drew a card and played it, only to place victory in Robin's hands. He immediately gasped and said, "You defeated my good hand." Terence looked at Robin and finally responded to her question, "Although you're not at your best today, your luck is holding up. We can complement each other. You continue to play for me, and we'll split the winnings in half." Robin gritted her teeth and continued to play after listening to Terence. After all, Terence was her client. She couldn't afford to offend him. Therefore, she needed to hold him in high regard and continue to play on the seat. … Waves of piano music came through the window. A girl dressed in a white princess gown was playing the piano in the yard. Jean stood at a dista
Judy sounded very emotional when she said that. Coleen's hands froze for a moment. Then, she whispered, "Judy, don't overthink." When people reached a certain age, they tended to have various negative thoughts. Right after Coleen spoke, her friends around her immediately joined in to comfort Judy. After a few light coughs, Judy was then helped by the household staff to go back to her room to rest. Dorian's birthday party was a blast. It continued until the evening and was concluded after everyone had joined Dorian in blowing out the candles on the birthday cake. Then, people gradually started to leave one after another. Robin came by Chris' car in the morning, but he did not wait for her when he left. There was a private stretch of road in Larson Residence that did not allow outside cars. She needed to walk a distance before she could hail a taxi. Terence and the others were saying goodbye to Tyler when she was about to leave. Thus, she wanted to quicken her pace. After all
Brian's car continued to accelerate. Robin could feel her heartbeat racing. Eventually, they saw Terence's car again on the main road. It had stopped in the middle of the road and was waiting for the traffic light. Brian immediately accelerated, driving over to stop next to it. "Terence." He rolled down the car window and greeted Terence. Smiling, he said, "Were you waiting for me?" Terence also wound down his car window. His gaze faintly swept across Brian. He didn't utter a word when he saw Robin beside him. At the same time, the traffic light had started counting down the last three seconds. Brian was ready to accelerate and overtake Terence's car. Surprisingly, the traffic light turned red again after three seconds. Brian was taken aback. At this moment, Terence had taken out his phone and was dialing a number to report the situation. After about a minute, the traffic light returned to normal. During that time, Brian was talking to Terence, who occasionally r
