Coleen noticed the change in Jean's expression and thought it was unusual. Her expression turned solemn immediately as she whispered, "What's wrong, Jean?"Jean took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions. Then, she whispered, "I suspect that Joyce and my mom have gotten hold of Dad's business registration stamp."Timothy was the one responsible for handling Michaels Group's business matters over the years. As such, it wasn't unusual for him to carry the company's stamp with him everywhere.Under Timothy's leadership, Michaels Group had developed rather well. As such, Jean trusted him to a degree.However, after hearing that Joyce and Dorothy were planning to immigrate shortly after Timothy's funeral, it was clearly a premeditated move.Tyler immediately took out his phone and asked William to look into Michaels Group's accounts.Soon, William called back with an answer."The company's official stamp is currently with me. I've checked the company's accounts too. There doesn't s
Coleen heard Jean's response, and a smile appeared on her face."It's better for you guys to get married as soon as possible. Dorian has grown up, after all. He'll need his parents to be on good terms," she said.Jean pursed her lips and nodded slightly.Although she and Tyler hadn't officially remarried, the way things currently were made it feel like they had.With a small smile on her face, Jean said calmly, "But I don't know if Tyler's willing to remarry me."Jean had asked Tyler about it before. However, she hadn't fully recovered her memories yet at the time.Having regained her memories now, Jean was uncertain about what Tyler thought about the matter.Jean hesitated to bring up the topic of having recovered her memories to Tyler.Given his poor health at the moment and considering how well they had been getting along when she had lost her memories, she was unsure if Tyler would want to revisit their painful past.After all, some of those memories were better left forgo
With an intense gaze, Jean turned to face Tyler. "I won't regret it. You mustn't regret it either," Jean said softly. Tyler was stunned. With a warm smile, he replied, "I won't. Never." After hearing Tyler's response, Jean immediately hugged him tightly. At that moment, Jean had never felt happier. This time, neither of them could afford to break their promise. Soon, the annual celebration of Larson Group arrived. This year, Tyler was organizing a grand celebration in their meeting hall. He even invited the stakeholders.Dressed in an elegant white evening gown, Jean looked as graceful as ever. Tyler, dressed in a black suit, stuck by her side while staring at her lovingly. He held her tightly throughout the event.Jean was puzzled by his nervous demeanor. "Are you okay?" Jean asked softly.Today's event should be a piece of cake for Tyler since he attended the celebration every year. Although he was the host this year, Jean was still surprised to see him app
Jean immediately understood what was going on. In the meantime, Robin saw that Tyler had left his jewelry box on the table. She quickly picked up the box and handed it to him.Tyler, upon seeing the box, immediately walked over and took it. Apparently, he had forgotten. "Sorry … I'm a bit nervous," Tyler admitted. He felt utterly embarrassed in front of the audience. The crowd began to throw teasing comments at Tyler, who seldom seemed so panicked. Jean smiled brightly with teary eyes as it was quite rare to see him behave like this.After Tyler received the ring, he knelt on one knee and said, "Jean, we've been through so much together. Although the time we spent together had its ups and downs, it helped me make one of the most important choices of my life."His voice started to tremble. "I want you to be my wife. So, please, will you marry me?"As Tyler finished speaking, Jean took a deep breath and stretched out her hand. "Yes, I do! I want to be with you forever," Jea
Robin felt a more intense gaze from Terence, who was sitting across from her, after he heard her response.Coleen replied, "These years, you've dedicated a lot of your youth and time to us. One of my friend's sons just returned from abroad. He's gentle and kind, and I think he's a perfect match for you. How about we arrange a time for you to meet?" Robin nodded gently with her lips pursed. "Sure." Coleen was overjoyed and continued, "We actually feel sorry that you don't have any time to look for a boyfriend since you're so occupied with your job. "All managers from the top management are already married. There's no suitable match for you since you're the only single one in the company. "I've thought about it before, but I never had the chance to bring it up. Now, my friend's son is back from abroad, so it's a good opportunity to introduce you two!" Coleen said. Robin smiled. Coleen's friends were all rich ladies. Feeling embarrassed, she replied, "Mrs. Larson, you're st
Thankfully, Terence didn't react aggressively.The annual celebration of Larson Group finally ended at 9:00 pm.There were no after-party sessions since everyone had work the next day.Robin walked out of the meeting hall after resolving all follow-up issues.She thought Terence had already left. To her surprise, she saw that he had parked his car and was waiting for her at the entrance.Robin remained calm as she walked toward her own car. When she stopped next to her car, Terence got out of his and walked over to grab her. "Get in," he uttered.Robin paled. "Mr. Weiss, I can drive myself home," she replied.Terence frowned. Instead of grabbing her into his arms, he shoved her into her car and stuffed her into the driver's seat.Robin was bewildered but quickly calmed herself down.Just then, Terence gave her a lingering kiss.Robin wasn't the last person to leave the company, and some employees were still in the office building.Moreover, the outside of the building was
Robin shook her head in confusion."I don't," she said.Robin had no idea who Russ Cobbett was.She just had a feeling that she had heard his name somewhere before.Terence's eyes were filled with mockery as he looked at Robin's bewildered expression."He's the man Mrs. Larson wanted to set you up with," Terence said indifferently.Upon hearing this, surprise crossed Robin's features. She quickly composed herself and said in a calm tone, "I haven't learned anything about him yet. Have you looked him up for me, Mr. Weiss?"Terence glanced at her indifferently and said coldly, "He's not suitable for you."Hearing that, Robin raised an eyebrow slightly. With a small smile on her lips, she said softly, "Why not? Please elaborate on that."Terence's eyes darkened as he replied in a cold tone, "Are you interested in him?"Smiling, she replied in a low voice, "Mrs. Larson mentioned that Mr. Cobbett is gentle and kind. He's also very easy to get along with. It's only natural for me t
Terence leaned forward suddenly, closing the gap between him and Robin.She always said such terrible things that angered him to no end.It was not a pleasant evening for Robin.Terence took his own sweet time for each and every move, as though he was intentionally torturing her for revenge.…When Robin woke up the next morning, Terence was not by her side.Yawning, she got up from the bed and went to freshen herself up in the bathroom. She changed into her work clothes before leaving the house.While walking, Robin could feel that her body was still sore. Just as she opened the door and was about to leave, she saw the door opposite her apartment open.Terence walked out from there with a dark expression. He looked like he had just showered as well.Seeing that Terence came out at the same time as she did, Robin's expression changed slightly. She pursed her lips and stepped into the elevator.Terence took a glance at her, his gaze slightly indifferent.He said in a deep v
Even though Lukas was now back together with her, Jenny could clearly feel that their relationship could never return to the way it had been in the past. After spending some time with Lukas, Jenny felt that Lukas' heart no longer belonged to her.Once Conner and Robin were done packing up Alina's belongings at the hospital, they made their way to Robin's car. Robin drove them to her apartment. Upon seeing where they were heading, Conner said to Robin softly, "Roo, I won't be going back to your apartment."Upon hearing this, Robin looked confused. Before she could ask why, Conner added softly, "I want to return to Swiree."Robin was taken aback for a moment. Then, she replied, "Dad, you really don't need to rush back home."Conner had already sold the family business in Swiree when Alina was hospitalized in Henkel. As such, Robin had not expected to hear Conner tell her that he wanted to return to Swiree."Just stay here," Robin said.Upon hearing that, Conner sighed softly and
After Alina passed away, her body was taken to the funeral home the next morning.Alina had instructed Conner to keep her funeral simple after her death.After Alina was hospitalized, Conner showed her a grave site according to her wishes.A van from the funeral home came to the hospital the next morning to take Alina's body to the funeral home.Upon hearing the news, Jean and Tyler rushed to the hospital and accompanied Robin there.On the way to the funeral home, Tyler tried to call Terence. However, Terence did not answer.Tyler had to call Wilson to inform Terence of what had happened.Only a handful of relatives and friends attended the funeral to pay their respects to Alina.With Jean and Tyler's help, Alina's funeral wasn't much trouble to set up.Terence received the news of Alina's death in the afternoon. Only then did he rush to the funeral home.When Terence arrived, Alina's remains had already been cremated and placed in an urn.He walked over to Robin. When he s
Robin's call managed to go through, but no one answered her call even after a long while.Robin gradually tightened the grip she had on her phone. She tried to maintain her composure while holding the phone.After what seemed like ages, Terence finally answered her call."Roo, why are you still up?"Terence's gentle voice came through in the end. His tone was tinged with a hint of exhaustion.Upon hearing his voice, Robin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that Terence had ended up answering her call, she supposed there weren't any problems to worry about."Yeah, I haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm still—"Robin was about to tell Terence that she was still at the hospital.However, Terence quickly interjected, "I'm still at the hospital now."Upon hearing Terence's words, Robin unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. Her heart quivered in fear for a moment.She suddenly felt insecure.Robin hummed in acknowledgment and asked, "Is Ms. Blake not doing well?"Robi
Robin's response was in no way problematic.From her response, it was clear how cautious and serious she was when dealing with matters of the heart.Brian sighed and looked at Robin deeply.However, Robin deliberately avoided Brian's gaze at this moment.She didn't want him to waste his time on her. Robin certainly didn't want Brian's friendship with Terence to be negatively affected because of her.Seeing that Robin was deliberately avoiding his gaze, Brian curled his lips into a small smile and said softly, "You don't need to be so wary of me. I'm not going to force you to help me."I'm glad to see that you're going steady with Terence. I'm looking forward to attending your guys' wedding."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips lightly. She let out a calm smile and replied, "Well, then you'll have to spend quite some time waiting."Brian turned to look at Robin. He had a tender expression on his face as he said, "Don't worry, I know Terence very well. I'm certain he'll marr
Robin couldn't help looking surprised upon seeing Brian dressed in formal attire. He looked somewhat weary."Mr. Collins," Robin greeted.Brian nodded slightly in response and walked over to her side.He whispered, "I heard that Aunt Alina isn't doing very well, so I came to check on you guys. Don't be too upset if you can help it."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips. She replied in a soft voice, "I already expected this to happen, so I'm not too upset by it. I just feel a bit helpless at the moment."Although Robin had already anticipated this outcome, she couldn't change it.Robin sighed as a hint of grief filled her eyes.Brian walked over to sit beside her. His tone was gentle as he said, "Death is inevitable for everyone, after all. People either die from old age or sickness. Try to take it easy."Aunt Alina probably wouldn't want you to be so upset either."Robin nodded and turned her gaze toward Brian. When she noticed that was wearing a suit, she asked, "Where we
During her conversation with Alina, Robin had already tried her best to keep her emotions under control. She did not expect Alina to get so worked up.Robin simply didn't want Alina to use her past as an example to educate Robin.After all, everybody was living a different life.Robin would never settle for second best.Robin sat quietly as the doctor continued talking. But she didn't hear a word he said. Noticing Robin's low spirits, Conner said softly to her after the doctor left, "Roo, don't burden yourself with all this. This day was bound to come sooner or later."Although Conner was trying to comfort Robin, his voice was hoarse and contained a hint of melancholy that he failed to conceal.Robin took a deep breath. With her reddened, teary eyes, she told Conner, "I shouldn't have argued with her knowing she was sick. With her current state, it's my fault that I insisted on my point."Conner sighed with a hint of helplessness in his expression. He avoided Robin's eyes and
Robin took a deep breath and said softly, "Don't worry about Chandler. Terence will handle it."After all, Chandler raised Terence like a son despite not being blood-related. The bond between them was too strong for Terence to ignore."Just focus on getting better."Alina went silent for a while. Robin chose not to say anything further either.She wanted to end the discussion in Alina's silence. But to her surprise, Alina uttered hesitantly after a long pause, "No, Terence will not care about Chandler."If Terence helps Chandler out, Weiss Group will face setbacks. Terence prioritizes his interests above all else. He won't care about Chandler. I…"Robin watched Alina getting worked up as she continued talking. Robin couldn't help but feel bad.However, she couldn't pinpoint her feelings. Did she feel bad because after all these years, Alina still cared about Chandler? Or was it because Conner's effort was being overlooked by Alina?Even though Chandler was her biological father
Conner had been working tirelessly to take care of the family. Even now that Alina fell ill, he cared for her selflessly."I should go back and check on your mom. If not, she'll wake up and find herself alone."Robin felt bad watching Conner's silhouette. She and Conner went back to the ward together. Sure enough, Alina was already awake.Robin sat on the couch and felt a mix of emotions as she watched Conner care for Alina devotedly.Alina had finished her medicine for the day, and Conner needed to get her the newly prescribed medicine from the pharmacy. So, Robin stayed back to keep Alina company.Robin kept her gaze fixed on Alina's weary face and asked softly, "Mom, do you want me to end up like you?"Alina paused for a moment after listening to Robin as a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. Clearly, she did not understand the meaning of Robin's words.Robin took a deep breath to control her own emotions and continued softly, "I was referring to finding a man who takes
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." As soon as she finished talking, she immediately ended the call. Terence didn't give it much thought after Robin ended the call. He turned the engine on and drove off to the hospital to visit Monica. Robin stood in the cor
