Chapter 101 Refusing Sisterly Ties

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

Chapter 102 Challenging His Conquest

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,

Chapter 103 Growing Distant

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

Chapter 104 Surviving Through Adaptation

Throughout the journey, Jean was lost in thought. There was no exchange of words the entire time.Back at their lodging, Jean entered the house first. When Simone reached the doorway, she received a phone call.It was Cassie calling.When Simone entered the house, her facial expression looked particularly grim.Noticing the change in Simone's complexion, Jean rose from the couch with a deliberate pace and asked, "What happened?"Simone's face darkened as she approached Jean. Sinking into a seat, she dropped her phone onto the coffee table."Tyler seems to have actually taken an interest in you."Jean was puzzled.Massaging her temples, Simone continued, "He signed Cassie."Cassie was the leading actress they had chosen.This information might have been leaked to the people of Larson Group. That was why they acted proactively and reached out to Cassie's team right after the afternoon banquet. They were quick to sign her.With Larson Group becoming Cassie's powerful financial

Chapter 105 Giving Her a Lesson

Jean's emotions weren't as intense as before. It was as if she had already come to accept the reality of re-establishing a relationship with Tyler.Seeing Jean's demeanor, Tristan felt a sense of relief. But his heart grew heavier for reasons he couldn't quite pinpoint.He had seen the heavy burden on her mind. Even after leaving her place, Tristan couldn't help but feel that urging her to accept Tyler's investment might have been a mistake.Years later, Tristan would look back on his advice to Jean and wish he could slap himself in the face.It had been a few days later, and Jean had yet to receive any news about Larson Group’s intention to invest.On the other hand, Andi called to explain their situation."Mr. Larson did express his intention to invest in 'The Secret' on the day of our engagement. My father-in-law thought it was a favor given in return. What's the matter, Jean? Haven't you signed the contract with Larson Group yet?"Jean frowned.She had finally come to terms

Chapter 106 She Knows It All

There was a knock on the door.Snapping back to reality, Jean walked to the door to open it.Mrs. Walker stood at the doorway, wearing a smile as she looked at her. Seeing her, Jean paused for a moment.Jean couldn't help but recall the baby from five years ago in the delivery room. Her complexion changed slightly as her heart ached."Mrs. Walker."Mrs. Walker nodded gently, her gaze briefly moving indoors as if searching for something.Jean quickly took a step back and said, "Please come in."Mrs. Walker waved her hand with a smile."I just came to see if Simone is here with you. I heard you all returned to the country, so I came to take a look."Jean paused for a moment, puzzlement flickering in her eyes."Has Simone not come to see you?"Mrs. Walker was embarrassed as she shook her head."No, she still can't forgive me."Ever since that incident from five years ago, Simone hadn't had any contact with Mrs. Walker.Jean was unaware of this matter.She looked at Mrs. Wal

Chapter 107 Resolving Funding Issues

When Jean heard the name Tyler, she showed a hint of resistance.Simone could also understand Jean's feelings.Her gaze was fixed earnestly on Jean as she spoke in a low voice."Jean, everyone has been waiting for you to finalize the decision during this period. If you can't let go of what happened five years ago, you'll only be tormenting yourself. Perhaps he doesn't know anything at all."Given how ridiculous this matter was, it was unlikely that anyone would speculate about it.Listening to Simone's words, Jean composed herself. Her eyes gradually grew calm.Simone was right.If she couldn't move on from those past events, she would be the only one tormented by those memories.During the past few years, she had been working hard to become a better version of herself.If she were to give up on this project just because of Tyler's involvement, she wouldn't only be letting down all the staff but also herself.If she aimed to establish herself in Henkel's circle, she had to mo

Chapter 108 What’s the Hidden Agenda

Jean remained composed as she looked at Tyler. She showed no signs of being embarrassed or troubled by his attempts to provoke her.Tyler looked at her with interest before saying in a deep voice, "After all these years, your alcohol tolerance has certainly improved. No wonder the Michaelses can't even control you anymore. It seems you've fully fledged."Hearing his words, Jean frowned with a look of confusion on her face. She stared at the man in front of her, who seemed to be wearing a playful expression.To others, this might seem like an ordinary remark.However, to Jean, it sounded like an alarm.She had never, under the name of Jean, drunk in front of Tyler before.Sensing Jean's tension, Simone awkwardly smiled. She looked at Tyler as she spoke."Mr. Larson, how do you know that Jean isn't good with alcohol?"Tyler's deep gaze locked onto Jean, and he slowly replied."Are there things in Henkel that I'm unaware of?"Simone inwardly let out a breath of relief.Jean als

Chapter 109 An Otherworldly Disposition

Tyler took two steps back, his expression a mix of a smile and something more inscrutable. He looked at Jean, then said in a low voice, "My intentions? You should be well aware of them."Jean bit her lip."I’m not."Tyler’s gaze was intense as he looked at her. His eyes gradually turned colder."When you've figured it out, come find me."With that, Tyler turned and left the private room.Seeing this, Tristan quickly put on a pleasing smile and followed a few steps behind Tyler."Mr. Larson, about the investment ..."Tyler didn't acknowledge him, and he didn't even stop walking.Cassie glanced at Jean, who sat still in her seat. She then looked at Tristan and Simone. Offering an apologetic smile, she said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Michaels, Tristan. It looks like our collaboration might have to be postponed to another time."Since obtaining Tyler's backing, Cassie had become less willing to participate in projects with Jean.The pay for Jean's projects wasn't high. Now that Cassie h

Chapter 110 Gentle Reminder

After five years had passed, Jean no longer had any reaction to the name "Joyce."Walking past Esme, she went straight into Simone's car.Once inside the car, she slumped into the seat and drifted off to sleep.Simone had been watchful during the dinner and hadn't consumed any alcohol. Seeing that Jean had dozed off, she promptly got into the car and started the engine to head home.On the way, Simone noticed that there was someone tailing her car.She accelerated, but her pursuer maintained a steady pace and kept up with her.As she reached her residential complex, Simone saw that the pursuer had entered as well. Her expression became increasingly cautious.She parked the car in the garage and took a baseball bat that had been placed on the driver's side. She held it firmly in her hand.She had encountered such situations before in Resovia.The pursuer from back then kept tailing their car and even resorted to driving aggressively, causing them a lot of trouble.Simone looke
