Etan looked at the button with a ruthless look in his eyes as he fiddled with it. He wanted to break off with her. But, it was her who refused to let him go, constantly seducing him. … Standing on a busy street, Jean sneered, as she was certain that Etan had taken a liking to her. Just that she had to change her seduction tactic. The more submissive she was, the more likely he would look at her with disdain. She needed to play with his antagonistic psychology. She had used an aggressive tactic previously. Now, she needed to play hard to get. Jean rubbed her lips hard. She had said it a long time ago; she would not allow them to have a clean break. A Maybach suddenly pulled up beside her. The window rolled down and Tyson’s charming, feminine face revealed itself. “Where are you going? I will give you a ride. It is hard to get a taxi around here.” “No, thanks.” Jean did not like Tyson at all. Probably because like repels like. She felt that they were the same kind of people, the
Jean knew that this was a conflict between the wealthy. But, she did not care about these things. “Aren’t you afraid that he would come and get you for helping me?”Tyson said innocently, “I’m just providing you a platform. The possibility of success is all on you. Besides, what could he possibly do? Am I not allowed to be friends with Ms. Mitchell?”Jean nodded in response. She understood now. Tyson was giving her a stage to let her perform. If everything went well, his wishes would be fulfilled.If it failed, he would not suffer any losses at all!‘There really is nothing good about the Manns!’ …Robert did not go home that night as he was busy socializing. Alana hid in the showers to make a phone call. The person on the other end said something, and her expressions immediately turned ferocious.“What? That b*tch became the Vice President of Mitchell Corporation today? Robert did not mention anything about that to me. I think he is hiding it from me intentionally.
Etan watched as she walked toward him with a radiant smile on her face. It was a smile that he had never seen before.At that moment, his heart raced a little. Etan’s lips parted as he was about to speak, but… Jean continued walking and brushed against him. She stopped in front of Tyson and handed him a present. “Happy birthday!”Tyson’s face lit up with glee. “Thank you. But, you coming here is already the best present I could ask for! I actually thought you wouldn’t show up!”“Aren’t we friends? How could I miss this!”“Can I open it now?”Jean smiled sweetly. “Of course you can, it’s your present!”Tyson unwrapped the gift wrappings and opened the box. Inside the box was a Burberry men’s necktie! He had a surprised look on his face. “You certainly have good taste. I love the tie, thanks.”“As long as you like it.”‘As long as it was cheap.’ Initially, Jean wanted to attend the party empty-handed, but Jenny advised her not to. So, she went to the mall and simply bought a
Everyone knew that there was an earth-shattering feud between Anne and Jean. All of them were eager to watch things unfold. “Hey, isn’t that Jean Mitchell? Things are going to be fun today.”“She is an outdated star who left the entertainment industry. What rights does she have to join Mr. Tyson’s birthday party?”“Guess you haven’t heard. It is said that Jean is the actual daughter of the Mitchell family. The reason she left the entertainment industry is to inherit her family business. She is already the Vice President of Mitchell Corporation.”“For real? Why have I not heard Ms. Garrison mention it?”Anne’s facial muscles immediately went tense as she could not even bring herself to smile. People finding out about Jean being the true daughter of the Mitchell family was the last thing that she wanted. Otherwise, her claim to the title of the Mitchell family heiress as a stepdaughter would just be a laughingstock, no?She despised it. Since when did Jean get so close with Ty
She clenched her handbag tightly as she started to get anxious.How could she make a move if Etan continued to be like that?After a few rounds of beer, people started to stir things up. “I heard that you and Ms. Garrison are sisters. But, why are you both so distant? I have not even once seen you two exchange lines. Could it be that because of the fight last time, the two of you are on bad terms now?”“I’m just saying, what are the problems that can’t be solved between sisters?”Jean was holding a glass of wine as she slowly said. “Having a long tongue is considered a condition that needs medical treatment. I know a doctor who is very good at his job, do you want a recommendation?”“You…” That person was so angry that his face turned green as he pointed at her. Anne was also holding a glass of wine as she talked to Jean timidly. She had not started to speak, but she had already put on her signature teary eyes. “I’m sorry, sis. Don’t blame them. They just wish for us to r
Anne’s gaze was switching back and forth between the two of them. She would feel strangely uneasy when either of them spoke. She always had a feeling that there was something strange going on from the way they looked at each other. Anne did not want them to continue talking. An idea flashed across her mind and she asked with a joyful face, “So, you forgive me, Jean?”Jean did not respond to her. At the very next second, her hand accidentally bumped into the glass of wine in Anne’s hand. The red wine poured all over her dress and instantly left a stain. “Oops, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. Your dress must be expensive, right?”At that moment, Anne’s eyes almost popped out from her eye sockets, and her jaw dropped. She was so stunned that she forgot to scream. It was not expensive; it was extremely expensive. It was elegantly designed by the most famous yet mysterious local designer, Galene.If a female celebrity was wearing a dress that was designed by Galene on
“Marriage?” Etan's face darkened as if someone had spilled ink on it.However, it seemed like Tyson did not notice the change in his facial expression and continued, “Yes, I want to marry her!”Then, Etan recalled that Jean had mentioned that she wanted to get married and have a life of her own.Could it be that the person she implied was Tyson?The cousin who was initially an eyesore to Etan had disgusted him even further today.Why did he return to the country?It seems like he had gone too easy on the other Manns lately.......It was part of a promise with Jean that Jenny would call her at a specific time. She intended to lure the ‘fish’. However, before that, she needed to find out if the ‘fish’ was interested in her bait.She stood at the end of the corridor and smirked when she saw the human figure reflected on the glass. “Then, tell Cruz to behave. I'll visit him tomorrow,” Jean said in a soft tone.“Yes… I know. Tell him not to be cranky. We'll talk later. Bye-by
Etan felt ironic. Jean had become clear-headed, but it seemed that he was becoming the opposite of her.He pinched Jean’s chin with brute force and answered with a cold voice, “No!”Jean looked at him with a panicked expression. Suddenly, she looked behind him and exclaimed, “Anne, why are you here?”Upon hearing that, Etan let go of her. He turned to his back and saw that there was no one there.He was deceived.Jean took advantage of that small opportunity. She bent her waist and escaped through the space under his arm. Then, she fled quickly.She was running at full speed as if a man-eating devil was chasing her. She could not slow down for even a second, or else, she would lose her life!Etan was standing in the dark where no one could see his face clearly. He rubbed his fingers slowly. He could still feel the warmth of her skin lingering at his fingertips.He wanted to see her suffer when she was with another person. So, why would he not let her go?Since when had he, E
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
