In the face of Jean's coolness and sincerity, Jane smiled and kept her doubts in check.

"Oh, there must have been a misunderstanding. Ms. Michaels, I hope I didn't upset you," she chirped.

Jean gave her a slight nod. Jane's face was devoid of any embarrassment as she whispered, "We have a lot of guests today. If you find our hospitality lacking, please be understanding."

"Mrs. Page, don't worry about it."

After that, someone came to speak to Jane. She grabbed the chance to take off. Throughout the talk with Jean, she maintained a smile on her face. Even her threats didn't sound hostile. Jean finally understood that this woman was the reason Emmett's family remained influential even after the death of his dad.

She gasped for breath as she felt suffocated by an invisible burden. When she cast her glance afar, she saw Emmett speaking to other guests amid the crowd. He donned a white suit that day and held a glass of red wine in his hand. He carried himself with grace and poise, just

    Confused, Jean slowly lifted her head. He shot daggers at her and scoffed."Don't try anything in front of me with that pea brain of yours. If you're feeling sick for real, I'll get you to the hospital."She furrowed her brows as her heart pounded in her ears."I'm not sick."Staring at him blankly, she was gripped by fear. Something told her that he might have learned about the truth. He merely gave her a casual glance and looked away."If that's the case, don't act like you're sick and waste my time."She was left baffled as she fought the depressed feelings.

    Thanks to the loyal chauffeur, nobody managed to track down Jean and Simone after they left Henkel. They traveled to Sun Valley City without issue. In the new city, Jean temporarily crashed at a place that Simone set up for her.A few days later, Simone was browsing the net on her phone but did not find any news regarding the disappearance of "Joyce Michaels". She felt relieved after learning that Jean's escape did not make headlines."You can spend your days at Sun Valley City without worry until the baby's born."Since Tyler did not bother to look for Jean, the issue might die down soon. Jean nodded at her friend, but she felt a tinge of disappointment deep within. The feeling went away when she heard Simone's cheerful voice."Congrats, Jean Michaels! You can be yourself again!" She was slightly taken aback when she heard her name. For years, she dared not say her real name out loud. She did not dare to admit that she was Jean Michaels. Simone's remark put a smile on her face,

    Simone was hesitant and surprised. "Jean, I don't think you should."She looked at Jean's belly, thinking that it was too cruel for Emmett.

I'll feel guilty if I'm still on his mind."Simone recalled the sweet times that Emmett and Jean had shared. She felt upset when she saw Jean tearing up. Maybe Jean and Emmett were not meant to be. "Okay. I'll make the arrangements."Simone had seen Emmett at his lowest. She also knew that Jean wanted to force him into giving up since he had learned the truth about the twins. Better sooner than later.Jean nodded and fell silent. She was rather calm because she had prepared what she wanted to say to Emmett.Two days later, the pair finally met.

She couldn't believe that she lost the baby even though she heard him crying before she fainted.

    Terence was waiting at a traffic light, so his surroundings were noisy. As Robin's voice was very soft, Terence couldn't quite make out what she was saying.   "I'm heading to the hospital to check on her now. How are things with your mom?" Terence repeated his question to Robin again.  Robin went silent.  She had already decided to be with Terence, and he had also publicly clarified that nothing was happening between him and Monica. So, it would be childish of her to ask the question again because he had already made things clear.  Robin's lips were pressed together, and her expression had reverted back to normal. She said, "She's fine here. Don't worry about it."  She then murmured softly under her breath, "I'll call you back later. Drive safely."
