Jean did not leave the company that afternoon. Instead, she held several meetings in succession, mainly redirecting the course of the company’s development, reshuffling various departments, and terminating those artists with dubious characteristics. Her way of doing things was fast, accurate, and ruthless, and she would leave no room for rebuttal. Benjamin Cooke, the former artist director of Galax Star Productions, looked down on Jean and deliberately challenged her. “Jean, even if you are now the boss of the company, you can’t do things arbitrarily. You have no experience in managing a company and the company will plunge into chaos.” At first, Jean was just a little artist under him, and he could manipulate her easily. But he did not expect that the artist who was at his mercy last time had become his boss in the blink of an eye. He could not resign to the fact that Jean could now point at his nose and tell him what to do. So he disliked her and always picked on her. Jean did
She had a dislike for Benjamin long ago, and she was deliberately irritating him, so that he would quit. With the firing of Benjamin, Jean was making an example out of him and sending everyone a message: Don’t mess with Jean. “You—you—you fire me?” Benjamin could not believe his ears. “Yeah. It is my company, and I can do whatever I want.” “Fine, you had better not regret it later.” Jean ignored him and rose to her feet. “Jenny will be the new artist director of Dreamers Entertainment from today onward. I hope that all of you will cooperate with her. Otherwise, you will end up like him.” She pointed at Benjamin, who looked angry and whose face darkened. Her announcement startled Jenny. She thought Jean would make her an artist manager. Little did she expect, she would be made the artist director. She literally leapfrogged to the top. After Jean fired Benjamin, the most senior person in the company, no one else would dare to rebel against her. Everyone was pledging their a
“Do you know how much liquidated damages you have to pay if you cancel our contract now?” “I have kept all my prize money from the past two years. It is enough to pay for the penalty.” Oscar scratched his hair. “I think you are really mad. You spent everything you have earned to buy yourself out of the contract and join the godd*mn entertainment industry? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get famous in that godd*mn place?” Cruz finished packing his things and turned to look at the grumpy Oscar. “I am different from you. You play e-sports because of passion, while I just want to earn a living.” “What about the entertainment industry? Do you have a passion for it? You are not a showy person at all. Otherwise, you wouldn’t wear a mask and a hat every time you play in competitions.” “I don’t like the entertainment industry, but... she is there,” Cru said calmly. “She? Who is she?” Oscar suddenly had a lightbulb moment. “Is it Jean?” Hearing her name, Cruz finally le
Her eyes smiled into a crescent moon and she looked sweet. But what she said was vividly despicable and shameless. Etan had seen no one like this before. She could speak with such shamelessness and openness. “What exactly do you want?” Etan asked. Jean plunged into Etan’s embrace and curled her arms around his neck. “My purpose is just to make my sister a cuckquean, and then get some benefits from you. Isn’t it simple?” “Yes, shamelessly simple.” Etan smiled. At first, he thought he could see through this woman at a glance. But now, the more she showed that she had no secrets in front of him, the more he could not see through her. Everything she showed on the outside was more like the layer of an onion. He could not read her mind at all. Etan’s hand landed on her chest. “What are you thinking in your heart?” Jean cocked a brow with a smile, and then she collapsed and yawned in his arms as if someone had deboned her. “You do not want to know what I am thinking, and you do
The makeup artist gave Jean a red upper eyeliner, a red flame totem on the brow, making her look like a succubus. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. “What is there to worry about? This is exactly what I want.” Jenny slowly gave her a big thumbs up. The makeup artist had fixed Jean’s hair by now. “Jean, you look more amazing than the photos and videos that I have watched before.” “Thank you.” Jean gave a smile. She turned and walked out, while her two assistants helped her carry the long skirt. The makeup artist clutched at her chest and looked at Jean from behind in infatuation. “She is so beautiful that I almost fell for her as a woman.” Jean was dressed up as the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in Dreamcraft. She was sexy and coquettish, yet domineering. The photographer’s eyes lit up when he saw her. ‘Isn’t this the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in the game?’ he thought to himself. More and more people gathered. Next door, Anne was wearing a princess dress with a pink w
“You—you should know that...” Anne bit her lip. “Know what?” “You should know that my studio has already announced that I am the endorser. Why did you still steal it from me? Do you really like to steal things from me?” Anne’s eyes reddened, her body was trembling, and she was almost like she was going to faint. She looked so pitiful. Jean let out a disdainful smile. Who was stealing from who? She took a step forward, and Anne took a step back in fright. “Anne, don’t you find it laughable? You haven’t signed a contract yet, have you? You haven’t eaten the thing yet, and you tell me that the thing is yours? I can only say that you are stupid to slap yourself in the face. It has nothing to do with me.” Anne shivered and looked at Jean’s beautiful face. How she wished she could scratch and ruin Jean’s face. “You stole it from me on purpose, didn’t you?” “Yes, I did it on purpose. What can you do about it?” Jean covered her mouth with a pretentious smile. Upon seeing Anne’s hid
Just now, when Jean and Anne were arguing inside, Etan was listening in at the corner while preventing others from entering. He was the worst kind of rubbernecker. “Let’s keep moving.” Etan said to the gaming head. “This way please, Mr. Mann.” The group left. “Should we continue the shooting?” Anne’s assistant asked in a low voice. “Of course, let’s carry on.” The smile on Anne’s face turned hideous all of a sudden. Not only did she have to carry on, but she also had to show that she loved her job. She wanted to let everyone know that she was Etan’s wife-to-be, and he came to visit her specifically, so that no one would dare to look down on her. She would make Jean pay for it. … After Jean changed into the second set of clothes, Jenny handed her a bottle of water. Jean took only a sip to moisten her throat, as the shooting would take a long time. It was too much of a hassle to go to the ladies’ room with this cumbersome dress on. “Etan is here.” Jenny whispered into Jea
“Do you plan to shoot such a thing to show gamers?” “Mr. Mann, what we are shooting now is the look of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in the game after demonization. This is how it looks in this game,” the head of the gaming division explained. He wondered what happened. The character design looked fantastic and was in line with the character’s role setting. When he first saw it, he felt that this set of photos would definitely attract many new players. So why was this angering the company’s president? “It is vulgar.” Etan’s voice was bitter. “But…” “Many gamers are minors. Have you ever thought about the impact on minors when you take such highly suggestive photos?” Elliot lowered his head, trying hard not to laugh. Etan sounded so stern and just, yet no one knew what was actually going on in his mind. The gaming division head was confused. It might be a little sexy, but it was nowhere near suggestive. The setting of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was supposed to be beautiful and me
Chapter 395"You were promoted several days ago, right? In the past, it seemed that you are just an assistant of the legal department, and your monthly salary was only about 3,000 dollars. According to your previous income and your family situation, you can't afford to the house of Royal Penthouse."This information was provided by Ben. He and Jean both felt that this was a rare opportunity. They had to investigate the accounts as soon as possible.While Jean was speaking, she stared at Daniel. He was calm and just frowned. His expression did not change. It seemed that he was not guilty.But...Jean still found his flaw. His right hand was unconsciously clenching his pants, and he panicked. Daniel looked righteous and angrily rebuked, "This is all your arbitrary speculation. I don't need to report the situation of my family to anyone. If you really doubt me, just call the police. There is no need to be entangled with me."Jean nodded. "Yes, you're right. Since there's no need to
Chapter 394She could have time to check the company's accounts, fire Brennan's people, and minimize his influence.This was a good opportunity for her.Jean hurriedly got up, washed up, and went downstairs."Mrs. Mann, good morning. I'll go bring you breakfast." Ellen said while heading for the kitchen."No. I have something urgent today. I have to hurry to the office.""You should have breakfast. You're pregnant!"Jean stopped, and her gaze was gloomy.'Yes, I'm pregnant now. I should pay attention. Otherwise, I would easily be suspected.'Ellen brought up the breakfast. In less than ten minutes, she finished her breakfast.On the way to the Mitchell Corporation, Jean called Jenny."Jenny, I can't go to Dreamers Entertainment recently. Please keep an eye out for me. Send me two capable accountants.""There are some in Dreamers Entertainment. There is no need to look for them elsewhere.""Ask them to come to the Mitchell Corporation now!""Okay. I'll call them."Jean co
Chapter 393Jean was confused as she listened, "Who are you talking about? Who has his arm broken?""Oops, I am just too excited to make it clear. It's Brennna. I was told about this the moment I entered the company. He went whoring in a hotel. But that prostitute has a boyfriend who is a member of a gang. Brennna and that prostitute were caught sleeping on the bed. Her boyfriend broke Brennna’s arm and chopped off two of Brennna’s fingers on the spot. Now Brennna is in the hospital with police there." Summer gave a quite vivid description of the matter with happiness written all over her face.Rubbing her forehead, Jean thought it was indeed something unexpected."Do you think this is good news?" Jean nodded, smiling, "Yes, it's good news. I didn't expect that he did this."Summer looked very delighted, "He did it. Now, this matter has been spread through the whole company? Brennna, a widely recognized good man, turns out to be a jerk. It is too bad that I used to think he i
Chapter 392The day he disappeared a week ago, Jean had just ruined Anne's engagement.Etan frowned and his cold face made Elliot a little scared."Keep investigating! Robert must be found! I want to know if he is dead or alive."He not only wanted to find Robert but also wanted to find Robert before Morgan did.If he let Morgan find Robert first, maybe Jean would worship him in her heart. She might even think that Morgan was a good man!Etan would never give Morgan this chance.What's more, he would not give Jean any chance to be with another man.Elliot said cautiously, "Besides, there is one thing I don't know whether I should say."Etan glanced at him and said, "Go ahead. Don't dilly-dally."Elliot immediately said, "I also found out that Mr. Mitchell handed over the company to his long-time friend to manage it for him a month ago. However, that person held a shareholders' meeting today and almost kicked Mrs. Mann out of the company."Etan's eyebrows tightened. "What?"
Chapter 391"Jean, I still hold the view that you and Etan are husband and wife. After all, you've married Mr.Mann. There is nothing that cannot be solved between husband and wife. Don't be like enemies."Jean smiled...There were some things that couldn't be resolved between husband and wife, just like her and Etan. In the end...even if they were not enemies, they couldn't have a happy ending.Ellen tried to persuade her, "You should at least think about the child in your womb!"Jean lowered her head and looked at her belly. She pursed her lips and did not say anything. ..."Make an investigate about how many times Jean had met Morgan recently. Where and how long did they meet each other? And when did she call the police?" That was the first order Etan made when he arrived at the company.Elliot immediately replied, "Yes, Sir." He didn't even dare to ask anything.Just as he was about to leave, Etan suddenly called out to him, "Wait..."Elliot stopped immediately, "Sir,
Chapter 390Etan straightened up his clothes unhurriedly and said coldly, "The man you pick this time is actually good. Morgan is indeed worth trusting. Unfortunately he meet you."Jean became alert when she heard his words.She sat up with her arms on the bed and said, "I'll say it again. There's nothing going on between Morgan and me. Even if I want to be with a man, I won't be with anyone from the Moss family. I went to him just to ask about my father's case."Etan immediately got to the point, "You called the police?""Or what?""You don't believe me, and then why do you come to me?" Etan's face, which had easily eased a little, darkened again.In Cornview, the Mann family was definitely the most powerful.Jean knew this, but she called the police anyway.What did it mean? It meant she didn't trust him."It's one thing for me to believe you, and it's another for me to come to you or not. You're my father's son-in-law. Your father-in-law's missing. Shouldn't you deal with
Chapter 389Etan's face suddenly changed color. But before he could utter sarcasm, Jean said, "I know you despised what I said. You think I'm humiliating you. You would say I'm not worthy of your caring! I don’t deserve you treating me as an equal! A glance at me would be a stain in your eyes. You would never love me!" Etan's grip on Jean's shoulders grew more fierce.Jean's face went pale with the pain then. She took a breath and scoffed, "But, don't you think you're acting so weird today? I just had a meal with Morgan, and you got so annoyed. Don't you think you're overreacting?""Not to mention that Morgan and I have nothing between us, even if we did, do you need to be mad like this?"Etan felt like his chest was filled with explosives, and each word Jean said was igniting him.Damn woman! How the hell did she want to be screwed? Jean snorted, "Sooner or later, we'll get a divorce. I know you won't let me be your wife forever. I'm well aware of my position!""So… it's onl
Chapter 388Jean was trembling with pain. Etan and Jean glared at each other and their eyes seemed fighting. One was unconvinced, the other was very mad.Seeing Jean's painful look, Morgan immediately said, "Etan, you almost break her wrist."These words, however, instantly ignited Etan’s fury."Morgan, she is my wife. This is none of your business. Get the hell out of here. Don't think I dare not to mess with you." Jean roared, "Enough. Could you stop doing that? Just come at me. Don't take out your anger on unrelated person."Etan laughed.‘She simply is defending him like this and telling me to come at her?’Etan only felt that his heart was set on fire, and he nodded, "Well, come at you." Morgan said, "Etan, you need to calm down!" "This is between me and my wife and has nothing to do with you."Etan dragged Jean away in strides.Morgan worried that Etan would hurt Jean, but the two were indeed a couple, so their affairs were out of his hands.‘But, what i
Chapter 387Jean didn't think that Etan flew into a rage because of jealousy.He just felt that as his wife, she secretly ate with another man without his knowledge. He felt that his authority had been challenged and that he was cuckolded.After all, Etan didn’t believe her at all. He doubted her...Morgan didn't expect Jean to defend him right away and she even didn't defend herself.He was a policeman and he had always stood up to protect others. But it was the first time that someone had stood in front of him to protect him.Morgan's original impression of Jean was very complicated. He felt that this woman was scheming, cunning, but somewhat pitiful. But at this time, he felt that perhaps he had had a bias against Jean before.He had no habit of being protected, especially being protected by a woman.Morgan stood forward. "Etan, Ms. Mitchell and I have serious things to talk about today. You think too much."Etan sneered. "Serious things? Morgan, I know you very well. When
