Chapter 81 Speak Up for Myself

Some of the guests, who were familiar with classical piano, agreed."Indeed, Ms. Michaels is quite rusty."Someone else chimed in, "That's understandable. She doesn't need a career thanks to the backing of the Larsons for three years."The seemingly harmless comments from various guests had insulted Jean deeply. When Glenn exited the restroom, he found Sydney and her group of friends hurling thinly-veiled insults at "Joyce". He intervened."Syd, stop it. You’re going to dampen the mood."Sydney's expression darkened when Glenn spoke up for "Joyce". Ever since they ran into her at the music festival, he frequently looked preoccupied. She'd be a fool not to see it for what it was—Glenn had been thinking of Joyce after all these years.　　"Oh, what now? Glenn Sotheby, do you think you stand a chance because Joyce's divorced?"When Sydney retorted, the other guests started murmuring."Joyce Michaels and Glenn Sotheby were the perfect pair in the world of classical piano.""That's t

Chapter 82 We're Acquaintances

Jean glared at Glenn. She wanted to leave the argument behind, but at the same time, she was acutely aware that she was representing Joyce, who had been confined to bed for three years. During that time, Jean herself never reached out to Glenn in any capacity either. Since Sydney and the other guests were turning Joyce into a topic of gossip, Jean had to respond accordingly.Sydney's expression was clouded by confusion when confronted by "Joyce", who seemed like a different person than her demure and timid self from a few years back.She snickered and retaliated unrelentingly, "Have you received a confidence boost from marrying into the Larson Family?"At that moment, Jane glided toward Sydney.With a polite smile, she whispered to the young lady, "The guests I invited today are VIPs of the Page Family. Syd, are you making a scene to humiliate me?"Despite the divorce rumors, "Joyce" remained Tyler Larson's legal spouse and attended the event in that capacity. The Pages wouldn't w

Chapter 83 Are You Taking Me for a Fool?

In the face of Jean's coolness and sincerity, Jane smiled and kept her doubts in check."Oh, there must have been a misunderstanding. Ms. Michaels, I hope I didn't upset you," she chirped.Jean gave her a slight nod. Jane's face was devoid of any embarrassment as she whispered, "We have a lot of guests today. If you find our hospitality lacking, please be understanding.""Mrs. Page, don't worry about it."After that, someone came to speak to Jane. She grabbed the chance to take off. Throughout the talk with Jean, she maintained a smile on her face. Even her threats didn't sound hostile. Jean finally understood that this woman was the reason Emmett's family remained influential even after the death of his dad.She gasped for breath as she felt suffocated by an invisible burden. When she cast her glance afar, she saw Emmett speaking to other guests amid the crowd. He donned a white suit that day and held a glass of red wine in his hand. He carried himself with grace and poise, just

Chapter 84 A Road Without Surveillance

Confused, Jean slowly lifted her head. He shot daggers at her and scoffed."Don't try anything in front of me with that pea brain of yours. If you're feeling sick for real, I'll get you to the hospital."She furrowed her brows as her heart pounded in her ears."I'm not sick."Staring at him blankly, she was gripped by fear. Something told her that he might have learned about the truth. He merely gave her a casual glance and looked away."If that's the case, don't act like you're sick and waste my time."She was left baffled as she fought the depressed feelings. After sending her to Teak Villa, he left in the car. He wouldn't visit the villa for a long time after that.Jean next heard about Tyler from Esme's update. Tyler and Esme's engagement was around the corner. A while ago, Coleen Larson was almost abducted, and most of the bodyguards at Teak Villa were reassigned to the Larson Residence as a result.Judy Larson fell sick from the shock, and Tyler was busy with both the inv

Chapter 85 Meeting Emmett

Thanks to the loyal chauffeur, nobody managed to track down Jean and Simone after they left Henkel. They traveled to Sun Valley City without issue. In the new city, Jean temporarily crashed at a place that Simone set up for her.A few days later, Simone was browsing the net on her phone but did not find any news regarding the disappearance of "Joyce Michaels". She felt relieved after learning that Jean's escape did not make headlines."You can spend your days at Sun Valley City without worry until the baby's born."Since Tyler did not bother to look for Jean, the issue might die down soon. Jean nodded at her friend, but she felt a tinge of disappointment deep within. The feeling went away when she heard Simone's cheerful voice."Congrats, Jean Michaels! You can be yourself again!" She was slightly taken aback when she heard her name. For years, she dared not say her real name out loud. She did not dare to admit that she was Jean Michaels. Simone's remark put a smile on her face,

Chapter 86 Think Over It Carefully 　　

Simone was hesitant and surprised. "Jean, I don't think you should."She looked at Jean's belly, thinking that it was too cruel for Emmett. Jean also stared at her belly and put on a determined face after taking a deep breath. "I can't let him waste his time on me. I'm no longer good for him. I'll feel guilty if I'm still on his mind."Simone recalled the sweet times that Emmett and Jean had shared. She felt upset when she saw Jean tearing up. Maybe Jean and Emmett were not meant to be. "Okay. I'll make the arrangements."Simone had seen Emmett at his lowest. She also knew that Jean wanted to force him into giving up since he had learned the truth about the twins. Better sooner than later.Jean nodded and fell silent. She was rather calm because she had prepared what she wanted to say to Emmett.Two days later, the pair finally met. Jean heard a knock and opened the door, thinking it was Simone. When she peeked through the peephole, she was shocked to see an exhausted Emmett

Chapter 87 He Only Wants the Baby

This time, Emmett left without turning back. Jean watched with pursed lips as tears fell. That was the only way she could make Emmett give up any remaining hope in her.She also knew that Emmett was a man of character who would not want to be involved in her issues. After he left, she went into the apartment.Wiping away her tears, she caressed her stomach, looking lost. Maybe she would regret her decision one day, but at least she did not regret it now.She was updated on Emmett a few months later. By then, he was engaged to a famous painter, Alison Matthias. She knew Alison because they were schoolmates.In their school days, Alison was a popular student who came from a scholarly family. Alison's gentle and prim personality made her a good match for Emmett.Jean put away her phone and went to stare at her sketches on the study table. She believed she should feel happy for Emmett because he had found someone more suitable for him.Simone, who had returned to the apartment, went

Chapter 88 Lost the Baby

Within half an hour, Jean gave birth to a baby. She passed out from exhaustion right after, but she heard it crying before she blacked out.When she woke up again, she was back in the waiting room. She opened her eyes and found Simone and Bertha by her bed, but their expressions were not right.Taken aback, she looked beside her but did not find the baby.Frantic, she whispered, "Where's my baby?"Simone hung her head in silence.Bertha whispered back with an apologetic look, "Jean, I'm so sorry. The newborn suffered from a hemolytic reaction, and they couldn't save him."Jean was shocked by the answer. She couldn't believe that she lost the baby even though she heard him crying before she fainted. Staring at Bertha in disbelief, she started crying."I clearly …"Bertha quickly took her hand and apologized profusely, "Jean, I'm sorry, I really am. You had so much trust in me, but I … I couldn't save your baby."Jean sobbed. She was upset by Bertha's tear-stricken and guilty fa

Chapter 89 She's Not Joyce

Jean left the hospital after three days. During her stay, Simone cared for her like a mother. A month later, the two packed their things. They were ready to leave the country for good.During that time, Joyce's comeback attracted a lot of attention. Not only that, Joyce had moved back to Oakside Villa, which fueled gossip about her marriage. Each time, she answered the media's questions by claiming that she and Tyler were very in love. On the other hand, news of Tyler and Esme's upcoming marriage was not reported at all.　　Jean was calm when she read the reports. After all, Joyce was always the more talented and capable twin. Joyce's return to Oakside Villa did surprise Jean, but it was believable.Simone inched closer and found Jean reading up about Tyler. She put on a serious face and whispered, "Jean, you're not thinking of him still, are you?"Taken aback, Jean put away her phone and chuckled."There's no reason for me to think of him." She stood up and looked at her luggage

Chapter 90 Finally Home

Jean was a different woman now. Five years ago, she lacked confidence and skills. Today, she was glowing and sure of herself.The Michaels had threatened to kick her out of the family ever since she left the Larsons. Because of that, she went no contact with her family.Thankfully, she spent five years abroad without issue despite her family's threats. The family's attention was on Joyce, who moved back to Oakside Villa. They had no time for Jean.Jean walked toward the exit. She flew home alone, and no one was there to pick her up. Her eyes glimmered with a tinge of disappointment when she saw the crowds that were waiting for someone at the arrivals hall.She hailed a cab by the roadside and shared her address. The driver occasionally stole glances at her via the rearview mirror during the trip. She chuckled at his absent-mindedness."Sir, I'm not Joyce Michaels. And look out—you're going to run a red light."The driver was embarrassed after being called out and quickly stepped
