Chapter 421 Transferring Assets

Upon hearing that, Jean's sarcasm became even more pronounced."So, you think you're doing me a huge favor, huh?"Tyler hummed in agreement.Jean had a small smile on her lips."Tyler, I was respectful to you before you were Dorian's father. We spent three years together and spent most of those days as a couple," she said calmly.She continued, "But since you've forgotten about me and Dorian, it just means that my business has nothing to do with you. I won't let you buy the script from me and give it to Lilian as a gift."Unless you agree to grant me Dorian's full custody after the divorce, of course. If you do that, I might consider giving you the script. But, of course, the price of it will be much higher."Jean paused for a moment and added solemnly, "I want 80 million for my script, and Dorian's custody will have to come to me. You'll be a free bird once you agree to my terms."Tyler had been holding himself back this entire time. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Jean, yo

Chapter 422 Long and Lonely Nights

Toby chuckled softly on the other end of the line. "I might be wealthy now, but it doesn't mean I'll remain this way forever. In case I lose everything one day, the money I've sent you might be just what I need to save myself. Don't you think?" he answered.Jean had a playful glint in her eye when she heard that. "Alright then. When it does come to that, I'll use the money to save your life. That way, you'd be indebted to me."Toby chuckled and replied, "Jean, you're way better at doing business than I am. Look at you planning to use my money to save my own life!"Jean couldn't help but smile as well. She said, "You asked me to hold onto the money for you, didn't you? I'm not even charging you a holding fee. If I return it to you in the future in full, isn't that a form of kindness on my part?"Toby smiled in response.They continued to chat for a while after that.Perhaps it was because Toby was indebted to her, but Jean had no reservations when it came to him.Given the way

Chapter 423 Keep an Eye Out

If Tyler were to pass away, the scrutiny Jean would have to face would undoubtedly be more severe.This was because both Judy and Coleen had remained faithful to the Larsons even after the death of their husbands. They had exhibited unwavering loyalty toward the Larsons.If Jean chose not to remarry, her fate would become similar to that of Judy and Coleen.On the other hand, if she did choose to remarry, she would probably face multiple criticisms from various people.In the past, the rumors and gossip that went around nearly ruined Coleen.Tyler was determined to avoid that from happening to Jean.When Tyler returned to his seat, Chris took a deep breath and asked, "Should we look into who Ms. Michaels has been in contact with lately?"After all, Jean was technically still Tyler's legal wife.Rumors of her strained relationship with Tyler had circulated widely. If people with ill intentions were to approach her deliberately, not only would they end up harming Jean, but it wou

Chapter 424 An Invite

Tyler's gaze turned icy as he glanced at Lilian."The artist you signed with previously took away an endorsement that was meant for one of Jacobs Group's artists, right? It seems that the Jacobs family might be targeting you specifically."Lilian had originally wanted to shift the blame to Jean, but she didn't expect Tyler to make such a statement.She immediately took a deep breath and said, "The artists under us earn their endorsements on their own merits. I don't think the Jacobses would be so petty."Lilian gritted her teeth and realized that Tyler was clearly favoring Jean. Regardless, she held her temper.If Esme were here today, she would probably say that the Jacobs family was brought in by Jean to deal with Page Co. But Lilian held back considering that Jean was still Tyler's wife in name.Lilian didn't want to portray herself as someone who spoke without thinking. She didn't want to be perceived as someone who was an enemy to Jean in front of Tyler.Tyler glanced at Li

Chapter 425 Seizing the Opportunity

Tyler didn't respond to Lilian's words. Sighing, Lilian left dejectedly.When Chris returned, he saw Lilian walking out of the elevator and nodded in greeting.Lilian called out to him, "Chris."Chris stopped in his tracks upon hearing that. His expression was calm as he replied, "Hello, Ms. Page."Lilian noticed that Chris was speaking to her formally and smiled. "Chris, we've worked together for five years now. We're technically colleagues. You don't need to be so formal with me. I've considered you as a friend all this time," she said.Chris' expression remained unchanged. His tone was particularly indifferent as he asked, "Ms. Page, is there something you need?"Smiling, Lilian replied, "Yes, but it's nothing major. I just wanted to remind you that the current Jean seems a lot different from the Jean of the past."She continued, "Her intentions might not be as kind as they appear. Tyler's injuries haven't completely healed yet, and I'm worried that he might be in danger. I

Chapter 426 Relying on Tyler

Tyler looked at Chris and said in a deep voice, "Since the Jacobses are eyeing Page Co. as well, we'll need to accelerate our plan."Nodding, Chris immediately directed the staff to take action.Meanwhile, at Page Co., Emmett had already recovered and was shocked to hear that Lilian intended to collaborate with Larson Group. She had even offered half of Page Co.'s film and television company to Tyler.He rushed to the company immediately.Emmett had single-handedly developed Page Co.'s film and television company from the very beginning.While it wasn't one of the biggest companies in the entertainment industry, it was certainly not an insignificant one.When Lilian returned from Larson Group, she saw Emmett sitting in her office.She walked over to him with a smile and asked softly, "Emmett, how do you have the time to visit the company today? It's better for you to stay at home and focus on your health."Emmett glared at her coldly. "If I hadn't come, you would've ruined Page

Chapter 427 Be Brave to Pursue Love

Emmett's expression shifted when he saw the look on Lilian's face. "So you did this on purpose, then?" he asked coldly.Lilian nodded and said, "Yes, I did. But I wasn't the one to make the final decision. It was Esme. She didn't have any objections when the proposal was made. So, Emmett, your efforts to oppose this are in vain."She continued, "At this moment, Esme is really not much different from a powerless figurehead."In the past few years, Esme had only appeared to be capable because Page Co. had Tyler to back it up.However, now that Tyler had unearthed the problems within the company, Esme's authority had immediately crumbled to nothing.Furthermore, due to her past mistakes, Esme didn't dare to insist on holding the position of Page Co.'s president anymore.For Lilian, this was basically an opportunity that had fallen right into her lap.Emmett stared at Lilian with a heavy expression. His face turned cold."You were the one who encouraged my mother to sell off the

Chapter 428 Toby's Gift

Lilian's words left Emmett in a state of utter shock.He quickly fell silent.Lilian smiled faintly upon seeing the quiet Emmett. She said softly, "I've told you everything I needed to. Toby, whether you choose to act on it or not is entirely up to you."After that, she settled on the couch and said nothing more.Emmett left Page Co. and returned to his place.Alison had arrived at Emmett's place earlier. When she didn't see him around, she decided to call him. But just as she was to do that, she saw Emmett approach her.Alison immediately walked up to him with a smile. But she was met with Emmett's solemn tone instead. "Why didn't you tell me that Jean was the one who took me to the hospital back then?"Alison's expression shifted when she heard that. However, she regained her composure very quickly and asked in a calm voice, "What difference would that have made?"Emmett's face grew stern. He glared at Alison intensely and said, "Of course, it makes a huge difference. It affe

Chapter 429 Give Him a Chance

Yvette's teasing successfully eased the awkward tension in the air.Toby looked at Jean's car for a moment and calmed down.He turned to Yvette and said, "Lucky you."Yvette smiled bashfully in response.Eventually, they arrived at the new company. Many employees came early. Jean felt incredibly comforted by the new office environment.Toby led Jean to her office. Jean's eyes widened in amazement upon seeing all the new equipment."Everything here must've cost a lot," she remarked calmly.Toby swept a casual gaze over Jean before saying calmly, "I released news about the filming of Heroes yesterday. A TV network has already offered 1.3 billion dollars to purchase the broadcasting rights for it for five years. So take this as repayment for the work you'll be doing for me."Jean raised an eyebrow at that.Many of the TV shows produced by Jacobs Group were top-notch. As such, she was confident that Heroes, whether it was produced as a film or TV show, would certainly become a m

Chapter 430 Refusing the Job

Jean remained indifferent, not even bothering to look at Emmett's resume."I'm sorry, but our company is too small. We can't afford the high costs of hiring a big-shot director like you, Mr. Page," she said.Emmett looked at Jean coldly for a moment before smiling. "Jean, I didn't come here for the salary. I just want to be closer to you," he said.Jean furrowed her brows slightly, and her expression grew solemn.She fixed a stern gaze on Emmett. "Since you've already stated that you have ulterior motives for wanting to work here, I can't allow you to work with us. Mr. Page, please look for opportunities elsewhere."Jean gave Emmett back his resume, not looking the slightest bit hesitant.Emmett noticed how resolute Jean was. His expression shifted slightly, and soon, he said in a serious tone, "Jean, I'm someone who isn't afraid of dying. I genuinely mean you no harm. I just want to direct your work for once. I'm willing to do anything."Jean frowned slightly as she looked at E
