last update Last Updated: 2023-08-07 10:45:05
When Dorian returned to the first floor, he huddled around Tyler and wouldn't budge no matter how Joyce tried to woo him. Secretly, she wanted to give the boy a good smacking, but she needed to put on a kind and motherly image in front of Tyler.

After dinner, Joyce had to take a work call. Still, she hung around a bit because Tyler didn't show signs of leaving anytime soon. She took a seat beside Tyler.

Dorian noted that and remarked, "If you're busy, you can leave. I won't ask you to stay."

Whenever Tyler was not around, Joyce couldn't be bothered to chat with Dorian. She'd stay longer at Oakside Villa only if Tyler was around.

Embarrassed by Dorian's remark, she chuckled.

"I don't have anything important. I'll spend some time with you."

Dorian shot her a quiet look but said nothing.

Joyce's eyes never left Tyler after she took her seat.

"Tyler, I received a call from the Hewetts. They invited me to Sheldon's engagement ceremony tomorrow. Are you going?"

The Hewetts had want

    It was the day of Sheldon Hewett's engagement ceremony. When Jean and Simone arrived at the Hewett Estate in Southlake City, the place was swarmed with guests. Simone whispered to Jean when she saw the crowd, "Well, thankfully the Hewett Estate is big enough to accommodate these people. I think half of the entertainment industry showed up."The friends walked into the Hewett Estate hall with smiles. Jean's attendance attracted eyeballs, and everyone stared at her with great interest. As Simone was a childhood friend of Sheldon's, she was acquainted with Sheldon's fiancee, Andi Rasmussen. Andi immediately approached the two ladies to welcome them."Why are you only here now? I've been searching for you!"Simone took Andi's hand and beamed."I landed in the country this morning! I needed time to doll up for the occasion. Jean hasn't been back for some time, so I had her wait for me."Their conversation was interrupted by a graceful piano melody.Jean was surprised by the famili

    Jean stood frozen but collected herself quickly. With a calm smile, she looked away and expertly hid her uneasiness. In contrast, Simone's heart almost stopped when she spotted Tyler."Why is he here?"It was an unexpected situation because they initially thought that the Hewetts and the Larsons were not in the same social circle. Simone shot nervous glances at a relaxed Jean. Jean held a glass of juice in her hand while explaining, "The two families were from Henkel and active in the same guild, after all. They might not have crossed paths in the past, but they might work together in the future."Simone was secretly relieved when she saw that Jean remained cool in Tyler's presence. She was about to say something when she noticed Tyler approaching them, causing her heart to race. She whispered urgently, "He's coming!"Jean tightened her hold on the glass as a frown appeared on her face. She could not ignore his imposing presence anymore.Taking a deep breath, she had her emoti

    Joyce took a deep breath to control her temper as she tried to overlook the jarring smile on Jean's lips. At that moment, Simone spotted a certain female celebrity and shot Jean a look. Jean did not miss the entrance of Cassie Wunder, and she went up to the celebrity without so much as paying Tyler any attention. He did not even get to speak to her.Joyce noticed that Tyler was still staring at Jean.She gritted her teeth and growled lowly, "Tyler, do not forget the promise between us."Tyler's expression hardened, and he fired back, "I don't need your reminder."His sudden change in attitude pissed her off.She clenched her fists and whispered, "Just worried that it might slip your mind."He shrugged her off and disappeared into the crowd, leaving her with an awkward expression.An acquaintance came over and joked, "Ms. Michaels, I never knew you had a twin. Did Mr. Larson mistake her for you? Is she the older or younger twin?"  She looked rather displeased but fought to co

    Once Tyler was seated, Raymond excused himself with a smile."Mr. Larson, I have to go now."Tyler gave him a light nod."Of course, Sir Raymond."Raymond took leave to make the other arrangements. Despite his wish to forge connections with the Larsons, it wouldn't be wise to ignore his other allies at his son's engagement ceremony.Jean was seated to Tyler's left and had a grim look on her face. Simone, who sat on the other side of Jean, almost screamed for help.She cautiously glanced at Jean but was relieved to find her friend watching the ceremony with calmness."Why the sudden decision to start a career in Henkel?" Tyler questioned.When Jean didn't answer, he directed his gaze at her, as though he was patiently waiting for a reply.Joyce was disturbed by the fact that Tyler had initiated a conversation with Jean.She held his hand and quickly explained, "Well, Henkel is her hometown after all. She can't live abroad forever. It's great that she's decided to grow her care

    After the engagement ceremony, Jean and Simone took their seats at a table according to Andi and Sheldon's arrangement.The guests at the table were common friends of Simone and Andi, who also met Jean countless times in Renovia. They started throwing jokes around as they were comfortable in each other's presence."Ms. Michaels, back to build your career in your home country finally, I see?""It's true! She'll only listen to Tristan. When are you going to announce your marriage, lovebirds? We're ready for it."Tristan Norris, who was right beside Jean, smiled when he heard his friends making fun of them.He whispered to Jean, "Have you nailed the actress?" He knew that Jean had a preferred candidate in her mind before her trip to Henkel and the fact that Jean had traveled back home just for the casting issue.She replied to his concerned question, "Yes."The pair was immune to the jokes about the nature of their relationship. In the past few years, Jean started getting involve

    Jean, who had intended to sit down, straightened her back upon hearing Alison's voice. With a polite smile, she spoke softly, "It's been quite a while since we last met. It's been nearly nine years since we left school."Alison was the same as before, exuding an air of grace and tranquility.After her engagement to Emmett, the media consistently portrayed them as a match made in heaven. Almost everyone who knew them was anticipating their wedding.Jean’s composed demeanor brought a sense of relief to Alison. But she was still hesitant to allow excessive interaction between Jean and Emmett.Holding onto Emmett's arm, she smiled at Jean and said, "Dinner will be served shortly. We'll head back to our seats first. We can chat later."Without responding, Jean just watched them leave with a faint gaze before going back to her seat. Observing the composed expression on Jean’s face, Tristan’s eyes flashed with confusion. He spoke in a low voice, "Jean, were you familiar with Emmett a

    As Jean spoke, she adjusted her skirt slightly. It created a distinct contrast between her beaming smile and Joyce's shocked expression.Joyce had never imagined that one day, Jean would exude such poised and unhurried demeanor.In her memory, Jean was just a naïve woman from the countryside. She was someone who could never blend into this social circle."Jean ..." She opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But Jean placed a slender finger on her red lips, signaling for silence.Joyce looked at her with a puzzled expression. The next moment, she heard Jean whisper softly."Tyler is here. I'm sure you don't want him to know those things from five years ago, do you?"Hearing this, Joyce promptly shut her mouth with a defeated look.Seeing her quiet down, Jean's lips curved into a smile. "If you don't want him to find out, then don't bother me. Got it?"Joyce was taken aback. Before she could react, Jean had already calmly walked past her.She made her way out of the restroom,

    Jean returned to the lobby, where a waiter immediately approached her upon seeing her. "Ms. Michaels, Ms. Walker and Mr. Norris was looking for you just now." Nodding softly, Jean walked over to Simone and Tristan after seeing them.Simone approached and grasped her arm, lowering her voice as she spoke in a solemn tone."Just now, Raymond mentioned that Tyler is interested in investing in 'The Secret.'"Jean paused for a moment, her facial expression subtly changing.Seeing no hint of delight on Jean's face, Tristan's eyes briefly displayed a trace of puzzlement.If one could secure investment from Larson Group, the production team wouldn't need to worry about funding issues anymore. Moreover, there would be a broader range of choices when it came to selecting actors."Jean, why do you seem somewhat unhappy?" Tristan looked at Jean with a touch of concern. Throughout the years of their acquaintance, he had been well aware that she was someone with secrets.So, many times, he c

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

    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.

    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
