Chapter 31 Marriage

Tyler frowned and shot Jean a cold glance. Then, he said in a mocking tone, "It seems like you know your place and worth quite well. Your job is only to donate blood to Lilian." Jean bit her lip lightly and looked at him, feeling aggrieved. Even so, she quickly suppressed her indignation and went upstairs. A little while later, Tyler followed and entered the bedroom too.When Jean exited the bathroom and saw Tyler in the bedroom, her expression changed a little. Tyler glanced at her indifferently and walked past her into the bathroom. She stood in the doorway with a solemn expression, silent.After washing his hands, Tyler glanced at the dustbin in the corner. He wiped his hands with a tissue and stepped on the dustbin pedal to open it, then threw the tissue inside. "Are you on your period?" he asked. Jean took a deep breath. She knew that Tyler had seen the proof she had placed in the dustbin. She nodded. Her period was mostly on time, so Tyler shouldn't suspect anything.

Chapter 32 Unworthy

When she spoke to Jean, Coleen's tone was exceptionally stern. It was nothing like the kind and gentle tone she used with Esme. However, Jean had long since gotten used to Coleen's attitude. She walked over with a smile and sat down on the couch. "I haven't been feeling well these days, so I slept in," said Jean.Coleen's expression darkened when she saw how unaffected Jean was by her scolding. When she was about to say something, Esme spoke up softly. "Ms. Michaels should indeed rest more." Jean was a little surprised. She didn't understand why Esme would speak up for her. After all, Esme should be very happy to see her losing face in front of Coleen.Coleen narrowed her eyes and fixed her gaze on Jean. "You've always been healthy. Why are you not feeling well all of a sudden?" Jean collected herself and saw Esme take a sip of tea with a look of amusement and satisfaction. She didn't know what tricks Esme had up her sleeve, so she kept quiet.As if something had triggered her

Chapter 33 Blooming Love

Jean sat on the couch and watched Esme and Coleen leave with a cold gaze. Layla came downstairs holding a bag of garbage. When she saw Jean sitting alone on the sofa, she said nothing and walked by with her head down. Jean got up after a few seconds and walked out too. Mr. Anders had just hung up the phone after informing Tyler about what happened when he saw Jean drive out of the garage.Coleen arrived at Boyden Hospital in a rush wearing a dark expression. Esme was beside her warily persuading her with an innocent look. "Aunt Coleen, I know you're angry, but my sister is in critical condition. That's why Tyler came up with this plan."Coleen's expression grew colder as she said grimly, "Esme, you're too kind. That's why you got deceived by Lilian's facade. Lilian and her mistress of a mother are no angels." Lilian's mother had planned for Lilian to marry a Larson from the very beginning. That was how she knew Tyler's preferences so well. Lilian's mother wanted her daughte

Chapter 34 Divorce Sooner or Later

The elevator doors closed, and Jean ended up not walking out at all. Tyler stared at her until the doors shut, but his expression did not change in the least. Seeing that he was staring at the elevator, Coleen turned around to look at the closed elevator doors with a frigid expression."Joyce is not worthy of you regardless of her identity or status! If you want to take care of Lilian, then you should at least do one thing that pleases me!" said Coleen. If Joyce got pregnant during this time, the situation would become more difficult. That was why Coleen hoped that Tyler would divorce "Joyce" as soon as possible.Tyler frowned. His resolution faltered when he saw Jean's red-rimmed eyes. Meanwhile, Esme stood beside them timidly. She was afraid that Tyler would suspect her of playing tricks if she said even a single word.When Tyler did not answer as quickly as he had earlier, Coleen said coldly, "I'll ask the lawyer to draft the divorce agreement as soon as possible." She gl

Chapter 35 Ruin the Michaels Family

After Coleen and Esme had walked off, Jean stepped out from a corner and watched them leave with a sad look in her eyes. She waited until they disappeared from sight completely before wiping her tears away. She stood there in a daze for a while. It seemed like she had to leave as soon as possible, no matter what.Jean went to her car and started the engine when her phone rang. A look of surprise flitted across her face as she looked at the number on the screen. She knew it very well, even though it was unsaved. She tapped on the answer button and put her phone to her ear. Tyler's emotionless voice sounded through the speaker. "So is this what you wanted to achieve? Did you think you could change anything by bringing my mother into this?"Jean bit her lip hard, and her face went pale. "What happened has nothing to do with me," she said. Coleen had realized that something was off all on her own. Even Jean had not known that she would have such a huge reaction after finding out

Chapter 36 Divorce

Dorothy's fierce and intimidating demeanor made Jean take a few steps backward. At the same time, Joyce was looking at her with a kind expression. Everything was driving Jean mad. Joyce sensed something off with Jean's behavior. Jean seemed desperate to escape Tyler, and Joyce couldn't help but suspect she was hiding something else from them."Jean, do you want to get away so badly because I've woken up?" Jean bit her lip and met Joyce's gaze. "Joyce, I just want to be Jean Michaels again." Joyce saw that Jean had turned pale, but Dorothy was still berating her. She said solemnly, "I'm already able to stand up and walk now. I should be able to recover in less than a month and be normal again. When the time comes, we'll swap our identities back."A month. Her baby bump shouldn't be too obvious yet. She should be able to make it. Jean pursed her lips and nodded. Joyce looked at her calmly. Joyce was quite happy, although Jean wanted to leave the Larson family so badly. Nevert

Chapter 37 Unsure of the Situation

When Jean heard the word "pregnant," she immediately lost control of her emotions. "Joyce, you must be crazy." Seeing how pale Jean had become, Joyce raised her eyebrows and laughed softly. Then, she said, "Jean, what are you thinking? This is just a strategy to stall for time. I'll definitely be able to walk around on my own in one month. When the time comes, we'll swap our identities back."Jean clenched her fists lightly, but she remained seated. Joyce looked at her with an evaluating gaze and said, "In this time, you just have to make sure that nobody finds out your true identity." Jean nodded. She wasn't afraid of being found out by Tyler. Three years had already gone by. She could certainly hold out for one more month. However, she was actually pregnant now. She was afraid of her pregnancy being exposed. If so, she would never be able to get away.Seeing Jean so compliant, Joyce's mood became a lot better. Just as she was about to ask Jean to leave, Jean suddenly look

Chapter 38 Nothing More to Do with These People

Mrs. Jones held Joyce's hand and walked her to the path in the backyard. Feeling much relieved, Joyce said mildly, "If that's the case, then I don't have to worry so much." Mrs. Jones smiled and looked at her while telling her of her scheme. "Ms. Joyce, you really don't have to worry. If Jean gets pregnant, then wouldn't she be paving the way for you?"Joyce fell silent. These days, a doctor came frequently to check on her health. She only had one problem. Her uterus had been damaged from the car accident, and she would never be able to conceive. Actually, her fertility did not affect her much. She had hated kids since she was young. She hadn't been much affected when she found out that she could not bear children.Now that Mrs. Jones mentioned it, Joyce was stunned for a moment. Her grip on Mrs. Jones' hand tightened while her gaze sharpened. "You're right," she said. Jean was so desperate to get away from Tyler. If she got pregnant, then Joyce was sure that she could convin

Chapter 39 Move Out of Oakside Villa

News of the union between the Page and Larson families became the talk of the town. Nearly everyone on the internet started following the news of Esme and Tyler's coming marriage. This was especially so after Coleen confirmed it.When Jean arrived at Oakside Villa, Mr. Anders assessed her expression warily. He only approached her when he saw that she looked fine. "Madam, Mr. Larson asked you to move out and stay at Teak Villa for the time being." Jean stopped in her tracks in confusion. She asked, "Why does he want me to move out all of a sudden?"Mr. Anders replied in a respectful and calm tone, "It was an order from Mr. Larson. All we can do is to follow it. Layla will follow you to Teak Villa." While he spoke, Layla came down the stairs carrying a suitcase and stopped beside him quietly. When Jean saw Layla, she put on a mocking expression. Coldly, she said, "Since you have already prepared beforehand, then why tell me? You could have just asked me to head to Teak Villa

Chapter 40 Test Tube Baby

Layla was extremely frustrated the entire journey. Seeing that Jean didn't seem to care at all, she couldn't help but feel a bit resentful.Even though she was going to get paid the same by accompanying Jean to Teak Villa, she used to be able to see Tyler more frequently when they were at Oakside Villa.Layla knew it wasn't possible for her and Tyler to be together, but being close to the man she fancied felt enjoyable. Now that Jean had been kicked out of Oakside Villa, Tyler was unlikely to be around Teak Villa often. Furthermore, Lilian had already moved into Oakside Villa as well.Two hours later, the bodyguard parked in front of Teak Villa. The place had been uninhabited for a long while. After Jean got out of the car, she walked straight into the villa. She thought there wouldn't be anyone inside but was proven wrong as soon as she entered the living room. A middle-aged woman with gray hair walked toward her with a cheerful and welcoming smile."You must be the madam, are
