As the maid spoke, she cast a wary glance at Jean.Before Jean could even respond, the maid quickly added, "Madam, Mrs. Larson has stated that you're allowed to refuse anyone you don't want to see from visiting the villa."After Jean heard that, she looked over at Tyler.The man's expression remained cold and inscrutable. Jean couldn't discern his current mood.Pursing her lips, she shifted her gaze away from him. "All guests should be welcome," she said to the maid quietly.When Tyler broke the news to the public, the first person Jean expected to pay her a visit was Esme. She hadn't expected the woman to hold out for so long before finally paying her a visit.Esme walked into the villa with a smile. When she saw that Jean and Tyler were still eating, she asked, "Why are you guys having dinner so late? I was waiting for you outside."Jean wiped her mouth with a napkin and gazed calmly at Esme. "Ms. Page, have you eaten yet? You're welcome to join us if you haven't," she said so

Esme remained silent. She seemed unsure of how to keep a conversation going with Jean.Under normal circumstances, anyone would inquire more about the issue with the housekeeper Jean had brought up.However, Esme didn't bring it up at all and didn't even seem curious about it.Jean's face gradually darkened as realization set in.Tyler came downstairs with her coat at this moment.Esme rose from the sofa, saying softly, "It's getting late. I should head back now."She added, "Oh, Ms. Michaels, I bought some supplements for you. They're nothing too fancy, so I hope you won't mind too much."Nodding, Jean looked at the gift box placed on the table. Her gaze was calm."In that case, drive safe. You may see yourself out."Esme nodded. As she was leaving, she glanced at Tyler who was walking down the stairs with Jean's coat. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I'll be taking my leave now, Tyler."Tyler nodded and watched impassively as Esme left.After Esme was gon

Tristan focused his gaze on Jean and understood instantly that his friend didn't trust Tyler enough. That was why she was asking him for help instead.Nodding, he said, "Alright. Leave it to me."With a grateful look on her face, she quickly replied, "Thank you, Tristan. I'll treat you to a meal once I'm feeling better."Tristan smiled and said, "Just focus on recovering."Jean smiled back at him faintly.After that, he left Aquaria Villa and returned to his studio.He sat in his office with the voice recorder in hand. Then, he played the recordings.The recordings featured conversations between Jean and Esme. When Tristan heard Esme's voice, his expression darkened. He couldn't help but cast another glance at the contract on his desk.Page Co. had plans to establish a film and television company. They wanted to name him as one of the founders.Due to the recent events involving Lilian, it was clear that Lilian was no longer a suitable figurehead to appear in the public eye.

Tyler looked at Jean with his deep set eyes. He said with a concerned expression when she didn't answer him, "If you're feeling sick, I'll send you to the hospital."Shaking her head, she whispered, "Did you find anything?"Tyler's hands stopped moving. He looked at Jean as he replied softly, "Mrs. Vale has already confessed to the crime."Jean was stunned, looking confused. "Didn't she insist that she was just following the orders of another person? Why would she suddenly confess?"Frowning, he said quietly, "She said she imagined it."Jean paused and shook her head. "That's impossible."He sighed. He held her hands tightly when he saw the stern expression on her face. "I know it's impossible for you to let go of this easily. "The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of yourself. I will keep investigating."Jean looked at Tyler, took a deep breath, and asked, "If you keep investigating, will you be able to convict the culprit?"Tyler didn't know how to

Sydney raised her eyebrows slightly when she looked at Jean's cold expression."Are you and Esme Page enemies?"Jean pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and spoke through gritted teeth, "Irreparable rift.""If that's the case, I hope we work well together."Jean nodded slightly. Both of them continued chatting for a while before Sydney left.When she was about to leave, she ran into Tyler at the porch. He had just come back from work. Sydney looked at Tyler with a calm smile as if nothing had happened. "Congratulations, Mr. Larson. You're going to be a father again soon."Tyler felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. No one understood how he felt currently."Thanks," he answered calmly and walked into the house.He saw Jean sitting on the couch looking quite upset. He walked over and sat down beside her as he took her hand. His expression changed when he saw the gift box on the table and noticed the distant look on Jean's face.He would feel terrible whenever he heard
