Mrs. Moss had never encountered a nasty situation like this. People usually thought it was better to bow than break when dealing with the Moss family. “You… you…” Mrs. Moss’s men stopped moving. “You said that I seduced your son. But who the hell is your son?” Jean was clutching at Mrs. Moss’s neck. Mrs. Moss snorted but she did not answer. “Tell me!” “With such indecent conduct at such a young age, I think you can’t even count how many men you have hooked up with until now.” “I rarely hit someone that is older than me. So don’t force me to do it.” Mrs. Moss’s heart skipped a beat, and she gritted her teeth. “I can’t believe that you still have the nerve to ask me to talk about Jason.” “Jason? He told you that I seduced him?” “My son is hospitalized because of you. Isn’t that your fault?” How Jean wished she could slap Mrs. Moss right now. “I think you should be hospitalized with your son and ask the doctor to take a good look at your brain.” Several police off
Mrs. Moss looked hopeful when she saw the person coming. “Detain this woman, Morgan. Keep her in jail for the rest of her life so she can’t bring evil onto this world again.” “Calm down, Aunty,” the man said. His name was Morgan Moss, Jason’s elder cousin, the chief of the North District Police Department, the youngest chief ever. He had a stern face, tough look, tall body stature, and he was wearing a black and blue uniform with golden epaulettes that glinted under the light. Morgan and Jason looked much alike, just that Morgan was more handsome in the traditional sense. At that moment, Jean had figured out the relationship between the two and she understood why Mrs. Moss was so arrogant. “Miss Mitchell.” “Since you are the chief of the police department, I would like to know, according to our country’s law, is taking self-defense measures a crime when I am being attacked?” “Of course not.” “Morgan, don’t listen to her nonsense. It is because of her that Jason is hospital
The situation became a giant headache for Morgan. “Don’t tell me you have bought into her story. She is definitely lying. It is impossible for Jason to propose to her.” Mrs. Moss said sternly. “She wasn’t lying.” A voice came, stunning everyone into silence. Jean did not move, as she knew who it was. “I know because I was there that day.” Etan nodded to Morgan as he stepped slowly into the room. Mrs. Moss’s heart skipped a beat when she saw him. She did not know why she dreaded this young man every time she encountered him. “What are you doing here, Etan?” Mrs. Moss asked. “Jason called me.” Etan did not look at Jean even once since he arrived. “I know everything about that day. You may ask me anything about it.” So, Morgan asked a few questions, and Etan answered them one by one. “I don’t believe her. She must have hinted something to Jason. Otherwise, there’s no way Jason would fall for a woman like her.” Mrs. Moss still tried to chop logic. “You should reconside
“What an arrogant woman! Just you wait and see!” Mrs. Moss was furious. Jean looked at Morgan and forced a smile. “Look, that is exactly why she doesn’t deserve forgiveness.” Morgan could not stand what he saw and took a deep breath. “That is enough, Aunty.” “This is a police station, not the Moss family mansion. Do you really think you are above the law?” Mrs. Moss was self-serving and arrogant, thinking that she could do whatever she wanted with impunity, not knowing that she was incredibly stupid. “I was the one who was assaulted and humiliated. Yet, all I got was an insincere apology. Would you forgive me if you were in my shoes?” Jean asked. “I am Mrs. Moss. Who dares to be disrespectful to me?” Mrs. Moss’s face stiffened. “Yeah, you are Mrs. Moss. So you can trample on the dignity of others wantonly, right?” Jean gave a wry smile with tears rolling in her eyes. “I…” Mrs. Moss could not find the words to respond. As compared to Mrs. Moss’s aggressive behavior, Je
“I… I know.” … Etan brought Mrs. Moss out of the police station and saw Jean standing in the chilly wind with her hair fluttering. Etan’s heart skipped a beat when she looked up. “I would like to have a few words with Mrs. Moss. I hope to avoid further unnecessary misunderstandings in the future,” Jean came up and said. The tip of her nose was red from the cold, her eyes were slightly swollen, and her petite body looked as if the wind could carry her up in the air. Mrs. Moss smirked and agreed, as she still thought of saying something to threaten Jean. The two walked to the side. Etan knew Jean was not going to hold hands and sing Kumbaya with Mrs. Moss, and that was for sure. Mrs. Moss should be taught a lesson. “Are you worried about Mrs. Moss?” He saw Morgan staring at them. “You don’t know my aunt. I am not worried about her but…” Morgan did not finish his sentence, but Etan knew who he was worried about. The tip of his tongue poked against the roof of his mouth. Et
Bobby rushed up to Jean and hugged her in his arms. When he saw Jean’s tearful, red and swollen face, his hand trembled with anger. “I will hold you and the Moss family responsible for this, Mrs. Moss.” “Aunty, do you think that the Moss family has not caught enough attention?” Morgan chided. “This vixen is anything but good. Don't be fooled. She is up to no good by getting close to Jason!” “I like her, but she has been ignoring me since the beginning. It was me who pursued her.” Jason’s voice came abruptly at that moment. He was still weak and his voice was not loud, but it was loud enough to make Mrs. Moss calm down instantly. “Jason, what are you doing here?” Mrs. Moss turned her head abruptly. Jason was so worried that he could not remain in the hospital. So, he dragged himself over. As he arrived and stopped the car, he was just in time to see his mother slap Jean to the ground. His face was pale, and his eyes were dead gray. “Let her go and let her do whatever she w
“Sorry, sir.” After walking away for some distance, Bobby looked back and saw that Etan was still looking at them—or rather at Jean—with a pair of unfathomable eyes. “Do you know that gentleman, Jean? He is still staring at you,” Bobby asked. “He is Anne’s boyfriend. We met twice, but we don’t really know each other,” Jean said. Those words drifted into Etan’s ears. At that moment, he felt that he could hear a fire burning inside him, consuming his sanity. ‘They have only met twice, and they don’t really know each other? How dare you, Jean!’ … Jenny was waiting for them in the car. She cried and cursed when she saw Jean’s face. “Don’t cry, it is okay. I am not an actress anymore, so scars don’t matter now.” Jean smiled and comforted her. “How can I not cry? I like your face. If you are disfigured, I am scared that I will need to find someone else. You must not allow scars on your face.” Jean laughed, gasping as her facial movement caused more pain to the wound. She cr
Jean recuperated at Jenny’s place for nearly a week before returning home. She was still on Twitter’s trending topic for the past few days. Anne’s team was not going to sit idly by. They were working hard to draw attention to Anne’s wealthy family background. Her fans were frantically propping Anne up, saying that Anne was from the Mitchell family, and that she did not need to stoop so low to get what she wanted. Anne deliberately wore an expensive sapphire necklace during an event. When asked by reporters, she poked out her tongue as if she was embarrassed. “You guys noticed. It is old-fashioned, right? It was a gift from my parents two days ago. I guess you all know my parents’ fashion sense. It is a little… You know what I mean.” Jenny threw the phone on the settee when she saw that footage. “How I wish I could strangle that woman right now. She was clearly showing off. And, she claimed that she’s from the Mitchell family, which in reality, she is not.” She turned her head a
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
