Jean buried her face in the pillow as she mumbled to him, “Close the door gently when you leave.”She said that on purpose. Anne called and said that Mrs. Mann was experiencing discomfort in her chest and was not feeling well, so Etan had to go back.Jean believed that Anne was almost sure that Etan was having an affair behind her back. It was painfully obvious.So, how could Jean give her what she wanted?She had to make Etan stay.But she could not just blatantly do it, so she used the push-and-pull strategy.She started rolling on the bed. “The whole bed is mine now. How nice…”The man was about to leave but he stood still on his spot and looked at her. Why was he so annoyed when he saw her delighted face?Anne sent him another WhatsApp message on his phone. She asked about his whereabouts and said that Mrs. Mann kept asking for him.Everyone in the Mann Residence was under Etan, so he was very clear about what was really going on in there. Anne was just trying to make him
In the end, Etan obviously did not leave the hotel. His phone was still ringing when he held Jean in his arms.She nestled her head in his embrace as her lips curled in disdain. The man was by her side. She would be useless if she still could not make him stay.…Anne was with Mrs. Mann in the Mann Residence until midnight, and Etan still had not returned. She called him, but none of them got through.She texted him on WhatsApp but had never gotten a reply.The look on Mrs. Mann’s face got darker. Although Anne was feeling nowhere better than her, she could not show her emotions.She got Mrs. Mann a cup of tea. “You should drink some tea, grandma. Maybe… Etan is being held back by some other issues.”Smack!Mrs. Mann sent the cup flying. “That cunning wretch really thinks I’m dead!”She caught news of Etan being at Swanlake Hotel with that wrecked minx again. So, she sent Anne to call him and make him come home. Back in the day, if he received a call like that, he wo
Jean was facing the sun, but her smile was brighter than it was. There was a fire in her eyes and they looked impossible to extinguish. Under his calm demeanor, Tyson’s fingers twitched. His world was bleak. So, why was there light in her world?That made Tyson even more tempted to destroy her.“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now. Goodbye.” Jean wanted to minimize her interactions with Tyson. She had always felt that Etan was a dangerous monster, while Tyson was a trap with an innocent look.Tyson got up. “I’ll send you home.”As he was standing up, he accidentally knocked over a pen on the table. He bent down to pick it up and the necklace on his neck peeked out. There was a ring on it. At the same time, his necklace coincidentally broke and the ring fell out. The ring rolled toward Jean and it stopped next to her feet.Her smile faded the moment she laid eyes on the ring. She bent down to pick it up with her shaking hand. The design of the ring was quite basic w
“Are you sure that she’s the woman in Swanlake Hotel last night?”“I’m positive. Although I could not get a picture of her going into the hotel, I managed to check the surveillance cameras around Swanlake. Jean’s car went into the basement parking lot of the hotel.”Tyson laughed sarcastically. “My cousin is such a player!”…Jean grasped the steering wheel tightly as her heart was in a mess. Tyson was testing her by throwing the ring as bait to lure her into his trap.If she investigated him and Elaina, she would have taken his bait. Who knew what lay ahead if she went down the rabbit hole?If she did not, how could she face the friendship she shared with Elaina?Ever since she was a child, no one had treated her as a friend. Elaina was one of the few who genuinely treated her well.If she knew nothing about it, she could still brush it off. But now that the clues were presented before her eyes, how could she turn a blind eye?Jean bit into her lower lip until she could
After that night, Jean and Etan had stopped contacting each other for days, but she was not concerned.Making Etan her man was definitely not an overnight success. She would also be in grave danger if she wanted to investigate Tyson. If she wanted to stay alive, all she could do was to get support from Etan.But, that man was extremely cold-blooded. It was not easy to make him protect her, unless she could walk into his heart.Jean let out a long sigh. It was an arduous task, and she had no idea about what would happen. ‘Let’s do this!’…In a blink of an eye, it was finally the grand opening of Paragon Tower, which contained many luxury brands in one place. Many of the brands invited their ambassadors to promote their shops and a lot of media outlets were invited to the event. The opening of Paragon Mall was garnering a lot of attention online as well. Needless to say, all the celebrities who were invited were top stars in show business. Their fans were not allowed
She wore a sweet smile on her face like she was the host welcoming her guests generously.To her, Paragon Tower was a merger between the Mann and the Mitchell family. One was her own family, while the other was her in-laws. No matter how she looked at it, Paragon Tower was still her territory. Back then, she was canceled online by Jean to the point where she did not even dare to show a sign of life on the internet. But from today onwards, she believed that she could turn her life around completely. She was a princess with no regrets. Everyone who saw her had to bow down to her. Just when the crowd was fawning over Anne, someone suddenly spoke. “Hey, who’s that? Why does she look like… Jean Mitchell?”The smile on Anne’s face instantly disappeared when she heard that name. ‘Why would Jean be here?’Everyone followed her gaze and looked at Jean. They saw her in a cropped vintage coat with beige flared-out pants. Together with her 10-inch high heels, Jean was overflowing with
Violet immediately burst out laughing. “Haha… Big-headed, aren’t you? You sound like you’re capable of making the brand sack me.”“That’s so funny. President Jean? You’re just an outdated celeb. Even though you’re acting like you’re the boss, you’re just making a fool of yourself.”Jean smiled. “What if I really am the president?”“Then, I could kneel down and call you my grandma.”Jean sighed. “You really do look like you want to be my granddaughter. It would be evil of me if I don’t grant your wish!”Right after she was done speaking, some staff ran up to her. “President Jean, the opening ceremony is starting soon. Please follow us!”“Sure!” Jean could not even bother to argue with them at that time.Violet was shocked. With an anxious-filled heart, she immediately asked Anne, “She… is cutting the ribbon?”All the invited stars were just representing their brands, so none of them had the right to cut the ribbon. The only people who were allowed to do so were the owners.
How the tables had turned. The story was completely different from what they thought it was.Apparently, Jean was the true princess of the Mitchell Corporation, but she had never gained any attention to herself. On the other hand, Anne was the one who boasted about being Mitchell’s little princess all the time.This imposter was bragging to her heart’s content in front of everybody, while the real princess was already embarking on her journey to the throne.The news was so juicy that all the reporters got excited. It was not an ordinary scandal or feud between celebrities as it also concerned a battle among the wealthy.The people who were fawning over Anne had all backed away from her. They all wanted to be far away from her. In an instant, all of them understood the reason behind the sudden change in Jean’s attitude toward Anne. Anne’s body swayed slightly. Her worst fear had happened.She could feel that all the gaze around her had turned from admiration to mockery.They
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
