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

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

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

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

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
