Timothy hadn't expected Jean to overhear Dorothy when she said such things about Jean in front of the Larsons the other day.He watched Jean's retreating figure with a hint of helplessness and anger in his eyes.Dorothy had done something foolish behind his back yet again.Eventually, Timothy left the cemetery while fuming with anger.Jean withdrew her gaze after she saw that Timothy had left. She stood calmly next to Tyler while Judy's casket was buried.Tyler tightened his grip on her hand.After Judy's burial, everyone returned to their respective cars.Dorian and Coleen got into one car, while Jean and Tyler got into a separate one.Jean did not mention what happened with Timothy to Tyler when he approached her earlier. Tyler asked in a low voice, "What did your father want just now?"Jean took a deep breath and leaned her head on Tyler's shoulder before saying dejectedly, "It was about Joyce. He wants me to get along with her."Tyler raised an eyebrow at that.Joyce h
Joyce said softly with a faint smile, "It looks like spending so much time by Tyler's side boosted your confidence quite a bit."Jean, you wouldn't have spoken to me like that in the past. You're very hostile toward me."It was true. Jean felt nothing but hostility toward Joyce.Tyler had told her that Joyce was well-versed in the art of manipulation, after all.Furthermore, it seemed that Joyce was very good at manipulating Jean.If Jean had to choose between the Larsons and the Michaelses, she was more inclined to believe Tyler's words than theirs.Much time had passed, after all, and Tyler had never done anything to hurt her.Moreover, the Michaelses did not seem to care about her anyway.Jean determined that Joyce was definitely not a good person.Jean looked at Joyce calmly. When she saw some security guards walk into the basement parking lot, she pursed her lips and started to speak."Yes, that's right. You shouldn't appear in front of me ever again."Joyce's features
The security guards nodded earnestly as they hung onto Jean's every word. They looked very respectful."Understood, Ms. Michaels."After hearing that, Jean stepped into the elevator.Joyce watched Jean enter the elevator with a sigh. She continued to speak, "Jean, I'm your sister. I'm just giving you some sound advice. Tyler is not to be trusted. You should know that in life, you can only rely on yourself and your own family."Jean furrowed her brows slightly, and her gaze grew heavy. Once the elevator doors closed, Jean didn't hear a single word of whatever Joyce continued to say.However, the few words she had caught from Joyce had definitely sparked some annoyance in her. Tyler had noticed that Jean hadn't come back up yet and wanted to go look for her. Just as he reached the elevator, he saw Jean walk out of it.Jean looked at Tyler with the files in hand. She regained her composure and forced out a small smile as she said, "Isn't the meeting about to start? Where are you g
Robin noticed that Jean seemed a bit troubled and couldn't help but say, "Well, that would make sense. Seeing how much Mr. Larson cares about you, he definitely wouldn't let you go out with me."Jean pursed her lips and asked softly, "But I can't rely on him my whole life, can I?"Robin raised an eyebrow at that. "Why can't you? Do you know how lucky you are to have someone to rely on in life?"Look at me. I can't find anyone who I can rely on. Did someone say something to you?"Robin had sharp senses.Jean paused for a moment. Then, she asked warily, "Am I really that obvious?"Robin nodded in response."Yeah. You're very obvious. Did someone tell you something that affected your mood?" Robin asked.Jean took a deep breath and rubbed her forehead."Joyce," she replied.At the mention of Joyce, surprise flashed in Robin's eyes. However, she quickly regained her composure."She came to see you?" Robin asked.Jean nodded.It was clear that Joyce had visited Larson Group earl
Tyler couldn't bear to let Jean wait too long. After the higher-ups left, he waved her over.Upon seeing Tyler's gesture, Jean immediately walked into his office with a smile on her face.Before Tyler could inquire about what Jean wanted to talk to him about, Jean said in a low voice, "Tyler, I'd like to move out."Tyler's expression instantly changed, and he turned pale.His eyebrows were furrowed tightly as he looked at the woman before him with confusion."What did you just say?"Tyler's tone was unusually stern.Jean pursed her lips upon noticing his serious expression and felt momentarily intimidated. However, she quickly regained her composure and met Tyler's gaze fearlessly."I want to move out of Larson Residence and Teak Villa," she said.Taking a deep breath, his gaze turned serious as he looked at Jean."Why would you suddenly want to do that?" he asked.Jean bit her lip lightly, and her gaze turned somewhat coy as she looked at Tyler.Seeing the change in Jean's
Jean's request stirred something in Tyler's heart."So tell me, what exactly is your plan?" Tyler asked.Hearing that, Jean knew that she had a chance of convincing him."Dating is something that has to be done between the both of us. I haven't made any arrangements for what comes next. But … would you be okay with me moving out?" she asked.Tyler looked at the mischievous expression on Jean's face for a moment before putting down his pen."Where do you plan to move to, then?" he asked in a low voice.This question left Jean momentarily speechless.Tyler kneaded his brows when he saw that Jean hadn't even thought that far ahead."Since you haven't figured that out yet, let's stop discussing this now for now," he said.Jean remained speechless. At that moment, Robin knocked on the door and walked in to report on some work matters.Jean hurriedly grabbed Robin's arm and said, "I'll move to a place near Robin's."Tyler raised an eyebrow upon hearing that.Robin couldn't help b
Robin looked touched after hearing what Tyler said.When Jean and Tyler first got married, Robin had already been working as an intern alongside Tyler.She could confidently say that she had witnessed the progress of Jean and Tyler's relationship from the very beginning.Upon seeing how great their relationship seemed at this moment, Robin couldn't help but feel envious.Jean had suffered many hardships to get to where she was today. She deserved Tyler's kindness and affection.After that, Robin walked out of Tyler's office.Jean immediately lifted her head to look at Robin.Robin approached Jean and saw that the latter was working on Tyler's itinerary."Are you done? We'll head straight to the project department once you finish," Robin said softly.Jean responded promptly, "I'll be done soon. Give me a few minutes."Robin hummed in acknowledgment. "Alright. Come find me in my office after you're done. We'll leave together."Jean nodded in agreement.After completing the it
Jean blushed from embarrassment and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean you had to do it like … that."Seeing how embarrassed Jean looked, Tyler's lips curled slightly into a smile as he chuckled."Well, regardless of what you meant, you're the only one I want to love so passionately," he said.Jean bit her lip lightly and felt reassured by Tyler's words.Looking at Tyler, she reached out to hug his waist and replied, "When I told you I wanted to move out earlier and you didn't stop me, I actually felt quite upset."I thought you didn't love me enough, and that's why you were okay with letting me move out."Jean expressed her feelings quietly.Upon hearing that, Tyler gently stroked Jean's soft cheek and said in a deep voice, "It's because I love you too much. That's why I'm willing to grant your every request."Tyler's words made Jean's lips immediately curve into a smile.At this moment, Rowena knocked on the door.Jean hurriedly jumped off the desk, looking incredibly embarrass
