“Do you think that Jean will take this lying down?” Elliot shook his head decisively. “We just have to sit back and enjoy the show.” Etan gave a meaningful smile. Elliot’s mouth twitched at the thought of his boss benefiting from a catfight between his fiancée and his lover. It did not look like something an honorable man would do. At that moment, Etan’s phone rang; the caller ID ‘JM’ was flashing on the screen. Elliot knew who it was and stole a glance at Etan, who looked at the phone and let it ring. Ten seconds later, He stretched out his hand. Elliot thought that Etan was going to pick up the call. He was ready to leave the room when suddenly, Etan hung up and blocked the number. “I need you to do something for me personally.” Etan put the phone aside. “Sure.” Elliot had roughly guessed what it was about. Jean called Etan several times. When she found that she could not get through his phone, she was sure that Etan had blacklisted her, seemingly wanting to cut he
“May I have the bill, please?” The waiter came over and Jean paid for Elliot’s coffee. She grabbed her handbag, got up, then smiled at Elliot. “This cup of coffee is on me. Thank you for conveying my message.” Elliot scratched his head as he knew that this $100 bill was a bomb. How should he tell his boss about it? His boss would surely cut him into pieces. He glanced at the coffee, feeling as if he now owed Jean a favor. He was honestly eager to see what would be his boss’s reaction when he found out about it. Jean’s expression turned frosty as soon as she emerged from the coffeehouse. If she accepted those things, it would mean that she and Etan would have a clean breakup and they owed each other nothing. But she wanted more than just that. She wanted more. How could she give up before she accomplished her goal? … The Dreamcraft team had concurrently sent out two tweets under its official Twitter account. ‘The company had launched an internal investigation and found that
Yet, he still chose the greatest possible benefit.Jean sneered as she knew what Robert would choose....The next day.Etan's gaze landed on the stuff placed on his table. Apparently, he was not happy. "She rejected the offer? Is she that unappeasable?"Elliot shook his head. "No. Miss Mitchell said you've given everything she desires, but she won't accept what she's not supposed to take.""Since when was she that scrupulous?" Etan did not buy her words.'Miss Mitchell mentioned the same thing about you. Both of you surely know each other well,' Elliot thought. "Not only did Miss Mitchell block your number right in front of me, but sh-sh-she also said that she can have any man she wants, and it doesn't have to be you; therefore, there’s no need to guard against her. Sh-Sh-She al-also s-s-said—"Elliot licked his lips as he got nervous, and his throat was dry.As soon as he saw Etan's expression that had turned icy cold, he instinctively took a few steps back."What's with th
While Jean still received tons of tweets cursing her on Twitter, Bobby retweeted Jean’s tweet. ‘It’s the end of the month, @JeanMitchell. You were supposed to ride a horse with me, but you stood me up. You said you would bring me to dinner, so when would that be?’ ‘@BobbyHudson, you know I’m broke, right?’ The sh*t hit the fan with Bobby’s fans going crazy on Twitter when the two tweeted each other. ‘Wake up, @BobbyHudson, a woman like her is not worthy of you. Don’t ruin your future!’ But there were still a handful of strange comments. ‘I don’t care. Call me brain-dead but I like this couple. They are a perfect match.’ ‘I bet my bottom dollar that Jean likes Bobby.’ Etan saw all the tweets, unfortunately. He smashed the phone down to the ground and his face looked bitter. … On the eve of the press conference the next day, the uproar of verbal abuse on the Internet ceased, as if it was the calm before the storm. “Are you sure that everything is in place?” Anne as
Jean picked up the microphone. “If I am guilty, the law will punish me. It is not up to any of you to sanction me.” “We are reporters. I—” “Shut up!” Jean raised her voice, sounding sharp and cold. There was an instant silence in the vast venue. Her eyes swept over the audience. “I am here today not for you to judge me but to announce something.” She paused before continuing. “I, Jean Mitchell, will officially quit the entertainment industry, starting today.” There was a deathly silence in an instant as everyone was stunned. Not only them, but the live stream chat had also stopped for a few seconds. “Are you leaving out of shame?” One reporter snapped back and asked. “You’re overthinking.” Jean let out a sardonic smile. “A person like me is too good for the entertainment industry. It is not worthy of me.” Her voice was calm and serious. Yet, her words were powerful. She was not joking; she was serious. “You think you can cover up all your evil deeds by leaving?” A report
All reporters swallowed instinctively. The first thought that came to their mind was that this was the headline. Jean looked at those fiery eyes. “Do you want it?” Of course they wanted it. Who did not want it? Whoever got this would certainly get a fat performance bonus. “If you want it, then I will see who can offer the highest price. The highest bidder wins. I don’t need to tell you how much this piece of voice recording is worth, do I?” The reporters were all dumbfounded. ‘D*mn, I can’t believe she is actually doing this!’ Jean had come prepared for this press conference, and she was here to make a quick buck.The live broadcast froze when the number of viewers reached its peak just now, and the condemning voices in the live stream chat were almost non-existent. ‘Holy cow! She turned the tables completely. She is badass!’ ‘This is a decisive move. She has not only turned the tide but also quietly profited from it.’ ‘I have only listened to a part of the recording, bu
He scanned the live broadcast that was still ongoing. After selling the recording, Jean got up and left. When did he come in? Just when Jean took the microphone and said, ‘Who do you think your man is? He is not worthy of me.’ Elliot watched Etan bend over and pick up his phone with a hand that was more perfect than a pianist. On the screen, all the cameras were seen being aimed directly at Jean at close range from all angles. Yet, she held her own and looked stunningly beautiful. “You just said that you didn’t give a d*mn about Anne’s man. Can you tell us who that man is? We heard that it is a mysterious VIP. Is it true?” “No. Why would I want to talk about a man who will have nothing to do with me?” Jean was expressionless. Elliot wanted to cover his face. It was terrible. “Is it because you have too much time on your hands that you are free to watch a live stream?” Etan asked. “It is not like that, Mr. Mann. I have finished my work.” “Check all the financial statem
The Moss family favored sons more than daughters. Mrs. Moss gave birth to three girls before giving birth to Jason. That was the reason why she loved Jason so dearly, and it killed her to see him passing out and hospitalized. She wanted to avenge her son ever since she learned from Anne that Jean was the culprit for Jason’s condition. After sending someone to find out about Jean’s itinerary, she came here to humiliate Jean in front of everyone today. As a few men pounced on Jean at the order of Mrs. Moss, Bobby reacted quickly and pulled Jean into his arms. “Don’t even try to harm her!” he warned them in a stern voice. Jean snapped back, wondering who these psychopaths were. The warm smile had faded from Bobby’s face. The stern look in his eyes was a grave warning to everyone. “Mrs. Moss, I think… he is Bobby, the famous actor,” someone whispered. Mrs. Moss stared at Jean. Her eyes were burning with anger. “I don’t care who he is. No one can stop me from fixing this woman tod
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
