Jean was more sober now. “Why? You want me to entertain you at this hour? Etan, are you still human?” “Jason is drunk and he wants to see you. Come over and tell him once and for all.” Jean was completely awake now. Apparently, Etan had a task for her. “It is your buddy who wants to see me. Why should I go there? Will I get paid for this?”“As long as you settle with Jason today, I promise I will give you whatever you ask for.” Jean quickly ran a little calculation in her mind. Breaking the heart of a young boy was right up her alley. It was a better deal than sleeping with that jerk. “Aren’t you afraid that your buddy couldn’t extricate himself even more when he sees me?” “I dare you.” Jean curled her lips. She thought to herself that beggars can’t be choosers. “I am not going, then.” “You had better come over now. Otherwise, I will send someone to escort you here.” Etan threatened her in a bitter voice. … Half an hour later, Jean arrived at Club Elegance by car.
Jason drove everyone away and then began to drink wildly. “Bro, you don’t know. I have tried so hard not to look for her. But… but I can’t control myself. I still like her. I like her even more.” Jason had fallen in love. He loved Jean now as much as he despised her last time. Jean picked up an ice bucket and splashed it directly on Jason’s face. The icy water, mixed with ice cubes, instantly awakened him. “Who the hell splashed water on me?” Jason bounced up at once. “It’s me.” Jason was stunned for a moment upon hearing Jean’s voice, thinking he had hallucinations. When he looked up, he saw her face. “J—Jean, is that you?” “Are you awake now?” Jason’s hair was dripping with water as he looked up at Jean like an abandoned puppy. “Let’s go out for a walk if you are awake.” Jean pointed outside. The cold outside would wake Jason even more. The warm room was not the most ideal environment to talk about the topic she was going to talk about. The untameable rich kid was
Jean said that to Jason more than once. He had never felt so suffocating in regret. His heart was bleeding so profusely like this time when he heard what Jean said. “So, what is the point of you being so drunk now? It would only make me look down on you.” Jean let out a sarcastic smile. “I am sorry. Would you give me another chance?” Jason’s eyes were bloodshot. His nose turning red from the cold. His wet clothes did not help in keeping him warm on a winter night. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had never lowered himself to beg anyone. But in front of Jean, he was no longer the arrogant Jason he used to be, but instead, he was just an ordinary man who longed to be accepted by the woman he liked. “No, I won’t.” Jean answered without hesitation. “But I really like you.” “Did I make you like me?” Jean’s smile was even more bitter than the chilly wind. “You just came to your senses when you found out that I was Robert’s daughter. But you had never believed in m
“You hooked up with the woman your buddy loved behind his back. What would be his reaction if he found out?” Etan wished that he could strangle her to death right now. “It was you who seduced me first,” he said. “Yeah, so what if I seduced you? You did not resist the temptation and took the bait. Now you want to blame it on me?” Jean covered her mouth in a sneer. “I have never seen a woman more shameless and meaner than you.” She was so shamelessly honest. Etan’s anger almost consumed his sanity. “You are right, but didn’t you know this a long time ago? What is the point of saying it now?” She spread out her hand. “I’m warning you that starting from today, you are not allowed to contact Jason again and you have nothing to do with him. If I find that you are still contacting him, I will—” Before he finished speaking, Jean took out her cell phone and deleted Jason’s contact number in front of Etan. “My purpose is just to make your girlfriend a cuckquean. It is that simple. Ja
“What? He is grief-stricken? How is that possible?” There was an uproar in the hospital ward. “Doctor, did you misdiagnosed him?” “Your son is indeed suffering from long-term depression. He got too emotional,” the doctor said. Jonathan, Jason’s father, turned his head around and asked Etan, “Do you know what happened to Jason?” The huge VIP ward was filled with the Moss family members, while Etan was standing on the side. “I have no clue either. Let Jason tell you when he wakes up.” “He spent most of his time with you. How could you not know?” Jason’s mother asked in a stern voice. Etan did not answer immediately. His long fingers slowly turned the watch on his wrist and looked up. “Are you questioning me now, Mrs. Moss?” His expression was calm, but Jason’s mother dreaded seeing it. “I…” “She was too worried about Jason and could not control herself. Please don’t mind her, Etan.” Jonathan hurriedly pulled his wife aside. “Not at all.” Just then, he saw Jason opening
The more Anne said, the guiltier Jean would look in Mrs. Moss’s eyes. “Okay, you don’t need to say more.” “Please do not tell Jason that I told you this. My sister will be angry with me if she finds out.” A fright flashed in Anne’s eyes, as if she was terrified of Jean. Mrs. Moss’s chest hurt with anger, and she felt that Jean was wicked. “Don’t worry, I will not put you on the spot. But I will never spare whoever hurt my son.” Anne looked on with an evil smile and raised her hand to touch the injured makeup that her makeup artist specially put on for her as Mrs. Moss left in anger and a frosty face. She sent a message to Tara. ‘It is time to leak what was recorded that day.’ Personally, she could do nothing about Jean, but there was always someone who could be her knife. … At 5:30 pm, before leaving work, Jean’s new assistant, Fanny McCarthy came into Jean’s office. “Miss Mitchell…” The girl had a bitter look on her face. “What’s wrong?” “You are a trending top
That day itself, Jean had guessed that Anne was pulling something, and she had been waiting for her to make her move. To this end, she had specifically asked Jenny to postpone the date of the press conference. And today, the wait was finally over. “Fanny, call the PR (public relations) department for a meeting, and stay back tonight.” She patted Jenny to make her feel at ease. Everyone thought that the purpose of Jean holding the PR departmental meeting was to deal with her crisis. “Look carefully at how things unfolded and tell me what you make of it,” she said, to everyone’s surprise. “First, it was an amateur from outside the entertainment industry who dropped the bombshell because it would increase credibility. With various Twitter business accounts, cyber-troopers, and Anne’s fans influencing public opinion, it will be too difficult to fight back,” Augustine Bradley, the PR manager said. He found himself in a precarious situation, as his new boss was apparently a controve
Augustine used to be a veteran employee of Galax Star Productions. He was an old bird, who subordinated himself to Jean. But in reality, he did not do any work. Jean had always wanted to replace him, but she had not found an excuse. Today, she could finally take this opportunity to remove him. “You have gone too far, Miss Mitchell. I did not make any mistakes. How could you dismiss me so summarily?” Augustine snapped back and asked. “Your mistake is that you have done nothing.” “Not that I don’t want to do it. Can this kid even lead the PR team to pull through the crisis?” Augustine said. “Tell me about your plan,” Jean asked Ernesto. “Find the first person who posted the video by getting his IP address. He should have the original video in his hands. Perhaps that will be the key to our victory.” “Stop your BS. Do you think you are a hacker?” Augustine looked down on Ernesto. “I can find him as long as he is online,” Ernesto said in a decisive voice. When he saw that
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
