Jean's expression suddenly changed after hearing what Barnabas said.Barnabas had purposely avoided calling out her name. That way, Jean's identity wouldn't be exposed to outsiders.Jean took a deep breath and shot the man a dissatisfied glare before walking to her car.Barnabas had a sinister smile on his face. After watching Jean leave, he made his way into the house.Jean got into the car with a displeased look on her face.She knew that Barnabas had done that deliberately. He wanted to remind her that she had nowhere else to go. All her personal documents were with Dorothy, after all. Even if she did want to leave, Jean had to get her hands on those documents first.Jean took a deep breath. There was a solemn expression on her face.One of the bodyguards got into the driver's seat and started the engine. Just as he was about to drive off, Jean suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to get her handbag when she left.She hurriedly opened the car door and got out. "I for

Lilian was a sickly woman. Although she had Tyler's heart, she lacked the capability to handle other matters. As such, Coleen felt relatively at ease.Esme had always expressed her acceptance of Lilian in front of Coleen, so she didn't have many concerns about that.Esme's tolerance would ensure that she married Tyler in the end without causing too much conflict.With such a complicated web of relationships, those who had no one to back them up had to be discarded. This meant that both Jean and Joyce had to leave.Jean and Simone were waiting at the boarding gate inside the airport. They only had one suitcase each, and Jean didn't bring anything else.Having lived in Henkel for so many years, leaving it so suddenly made Jean feel uneasy. Yet, she knew that remaining here would only lead to her doom.There was still half an hour left until boarding. Jean felt her stomach stir uncomfortably and handed the documents to Simone. "I need to go to the restroom," she whispered.Simone

Jean watched as Tyler left, and her expression became solemn. She turned to head back to the bedroom, but a maid hurried out from inside before she could get through the door.Seeing Jean, the maid paused. She quickly reported, "Madam, I've already changed your bedsheets and prepared all your toiletries."Jean nodded and walked inside. Everything in the room had been changed. Even the skincare and makeup products on her dressing table had been replaced with different brands.She furrowed her brow slightly and wondered what tricks Tyler was trying to pull on her.Suddenly, her phone rang. Jean froze for a moment before looking in the direction of the ringing. She saw that the handbag she was left over at the Michaels Residence was lying on the bedside table."The Michaelses sent your bag over. I saw that there were still things inside and thought you might need them. That's why I didn't put it in the storage cabinet with the other items," the maid explained.Jean collected her

Barnabas appeared confident. "Don't worry, Dorothy. I'll make sure not the harm her baby."After saying that, he left with a determined look on his face.Dorothy felt conflicted as she watched her brother's retreating figure. Jean hadn't contributed much to the family in her three years living with the Larsons. She was also not as talented as Joyce. Dorothy wasn't as close to her either.Jean had been raised by her grandmother. Thus, she had many habits similar to Dorothy's mother-in-law. That was why she didn't like her very much. Dorothy's relationship with Jean hadn't been particularly close since bringing her back.If she had to choose between Jean and Joyce, there was no doubt in her mind that Joyce would be her first pick.Meanwhile, at Teak Villa, Jean hadn't answered any calls from Joyce after the fallout. Even Dorothy had called her a few times. But their conversation turned sour in the end. As such, Jean blocked both of their calls altogether.She knew that death

Not long after Dorothy left, Tyler rushed back.Jean had just finished her meal. She was about to head upstairs to rest when she heard Tyler's footsteps. She turned her head and saw Tyler walk in with a briefcase in his hand.His face was expressionless. However, a hint of displeasure could be seen when he gazed at her."Did your mother come to see you today?"Jean took a deep breath and remembered that she needed Tyler's approval to attend the music festival. After a moment's hesitation, she walked downstairs toward him."Yes. It's to discuss my comeback," she said calmly as she took the briefcase from Tyler. She was going to leave soon, so she couldn't afford to have any disagreements with Tyler in the meantime. It might lead to unnecessary complications later on.Tyler lowered his gaze toward her. There was a playful look on his face. He lazily loosened his tie with a faint smile on his lips."A comeback?" he asked.Jean nodded. "Yes. I've been on a hiatus for three whole
