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 Things are going to be fun today.”“She is an outdated star who left the entertainment industry.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
At that moment, Jean had a wolf by the ears. She was in a difficult situation where she did not know what to do.If she chose to refuse Tyson, then people would say that she was being ignorant and disrespectful. Besides, turning Tyson down would embarrass him, making him lose face in front of the socialites in Cornview.On the other hand, if she decided to agree...Why the heck does she have to agree?Anne put on the dress that her assistant sent her. She stood beside Etan and purposely said, “It seemed that Tyson and my sister would be a good match for each other. Don’t you think so, Etan? ”Etan’s face showed no emotion. There was only a slight smirk on his face.It seemed like he was not bothered by the scene, as if he had the same hope as the crowd, hoping that Jean and Tyson would be together.However, inside his pocket, the knuckles on his hand had turned white.If Jean had dared to say yes, he would definitely kill her. It seemed that Tyson was hesitating with all the no
Anne was anxious as she spoke in a gentle voice. “This glass of water is still warm. It will get cold soon, so have some, Etan!”Everyone had their eyes on her. If Etan did not bother to take a sip of the water that she brought him…Then, everyone would think that the notable son of the Manns did not fancy her and would start to look down on her.Besides, if Etan did not drink it, how could she go through with her plan tonight?This was a rare opportunity, and she would not want to miss it. Tyson teased, “You should at least take one sip, Etan. Or else, Anne would start crying and Mrs. Mann would surely nag you when you go home.”Etan saw that Anne’s eyes were teary and red as she looked at him with a pitiful look, and her hands raised mid-air.He furrowed his brows as he was displeased.Despite his distaste for her, Anne was still the one who saved him back then. So, he accepted and took the glass of water. But as soon as the glass made contact with his lips, he stopped.T
He paused for a while and asked, “Who is the ‘she’ you’re referring to, sir?”Etan opened his eyes fiercely. “Who else?”Elliot was getting goosebumps just by looking at his bloodshot eyes.He understood Etan’s orders instantly. “I’ll go right now.”But, there was suspicion in his heart.How did Etan get spiked? They were at Club Elegance, so every drink that was provided had been strictly checked, unless the drug was brought by one of the guests. ‘Wait a minute, it was the drink that Anne gave him!’No wonder he would leave Anne in such a hurry. Elliot never had any ill feelings towards Anne. But, what happened today had immediately made him loathe her. She looked so demure and kind, just like a white and stainless flower.No one would have thought that she could do such a despicable thing. Although Jean was nowhere better as a person, at least she would not stoop so low. She could seduce Etan because of her capabilities.Before the elevator door opened, Etan said c
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
