Chapter 222Jean was a little relieved to see that he didn't seem to be so angry!She rested her chin against his chest and raised her head to look at him, "After about an hour, I'll wait for you at the Swanlake Hotel."Etan felt that she was a lot more thoughtful than before, so he wasn't so upset."Do you remember the room where you came here last time?"Jean nodded her head."Wait for me there!"She nudged his chest, "Do you miss me so much?"Etan pinched her chin, "Don't drink. If you dare to meet me when you are drunken, I'll leave you out in the cold overnight!"Jean moved the corners of her mouth gently, 'This damn man.'She showed a fake smile, "Got it. I promise not to drink.""I'll go now!"Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jean moved two steps.He didn't stop her but looked at her with an expressionless face. His silence made her panic.Jean thought to herself, 'What does he mean? Should I go?'After thinking about it quickly, she glanced at him secretly. Sh
Chapter 223Her lipstick was gone when she came back; however it was still there before she left.Jean checked the time, and it was half an hour to midnight. She said to everybody, "Excuse me, I got something to handle and I gotta go right now. My treat next time."All tried to retain her.Tyson smiled, "Is that urgent?""Yes. I just got a message from my father that he is not feeling well. I need to go home and take a look.""Hurry up, since your father is not comfortable. Do you need a ride?"Jean shook her head, "No, thanks."Jenny said quickly, "Let her go, anyway she cannot drink. Later you guys can come with me, and I will show you a wonderful place to have midnight snack."Jean took the chance and left.Walking out of the private room, Jean went to the restroom instead of Etan's lounge, in case that Tyson would send someone to stalk her.For Tyson, she would keep cautious. The more she knew about him, the more complicated she found he was. And clearly, all his connections were
Chapter 224The soft smile turned insidious slowly: "I'll see if Jean can let Etan love her deeply.""If that day comes, she will be Etan's weakness."Elliot understood at once: "I see, and you are trying to create weaknesses for Etan."Tyson wanted to promote Jean to be the woman Etan loved most and became his fatal weakness.Why Etan could take charge of the Mann Group at a young age was that he had both outstanding ability and aggressive methods. What’s more, he had almost no weaknesses.He was so perfect that he wasn’t like a real person. For a long time, there was not even a woman beside him.None of the women that sent to seduce him succeeded.However, there was an exception now!From Etan's attitude towards Jean, Tyson finally felt that his cousin was a bit like person with emotions.Everyone had his own weaknesses.When his weakness grew to be fatal.Tyson could take some actions.He was looking forward to that day.......Etan went to the hotel at 1:00 in the mo
Chapter 225"You mean she ran away?"" Well, that's not what I meant..."Without looking up, Ethan continued to deal with the company affairs at hand, "It's your incompetence not to find her. How dare you report to me when there is no result?"Elliot trembled for a moment, "Don't worry, I'm on it. I'll find her."But he still couldn't find Jean by noon.Just when Elliot thought he would lose his job because he still didn't find Jean, 'Jean' came to Mann Group on her own.Elliot was relieved to see her and thought that at least he could keep his job.He happily knocked on the door of Ethan's office and shouted, "Mr. Mann, here comes Miss Mitchell."Ethan hadn't slept all night. Though there was no weariness on his face, the bloodshot eyes couldn't be hidden. He didn't move when he heard the knock, but after a moment he said, "Let her in."How dared this woman come to see him!Elliot quickly brought in this woman named 'Jean'.After the door closed, 'Jean' went up to Ethan an
Chapter 226"What?" Elliot was shocked.Elliot was almost scared to death when he saw "Jean" running out with her broken arm.'He still want to arrest her, right?''What the hell is he doing?''Is Mr. Mann really going to kill her this time?'Etan snapped, "So what? you want an explanation?""No, I am going now."Before finishing the words, Elliot had ran out.Although he did not understand why Mr. Mann was so cruel this time, he just listened to him and do what as told.Etan threw the handkerchief into the trash can and stood up....Elliot led several people and went after "Jean" quietly. Her right arm was broken, so she endured the pain and got into a cab, then she got out and sneaked into an alley.Elliot saw that she chose lonely lanes. And while walking, she looked back from time to time. She seemed worried about herself being followed by others.Elliot wondered that this Miss Mitchell seemed to have been specially trained.He gestured his men to go in separate.While walking, Je
Chapter 227He glanced at the time of the surveillance recording. It was three past twelve at night. "This isn't her!" The manager was shocked when he heard that, "Isn't this Ms. Mitchell? I greeted her at that time. It must be her!"Etan ignored him and said coldly with a serious face, "Keep investigating."At ten o'clock at night, he did see Jean go back. She did go to the bathroom from the private room.However, coming out of the bathroom, it was someone else.Even if this woman's appearance and figure looked the same as hers, Etan could see at a glance that this woman was not Jean.The fake Jean went to the company to look for him not long ago.Jean was in trouble.Etan sneered. 'Who dares to bully my woman in my place?'He had probably been too gentle lately. Someone forgot who the most powerful was in the Cornview City.The people in the room were too scared to say anything.Etan had shown his talent and capability in his early years, but now he was more calm and re
Chapter 228In the dilapidated fishing boat, she was so beautiful that the men around her aroused their impure thoughts. Henry felt it was a pity to let her go.As they were talking, Jean had came to her consciousness. She woke up slowly, feeling dizzy and nauseous.She had thought she would be very scared when facing with this situation.But at this moment, she was calm.She didn't want to be tortured by these people or die. She wanted to be alive...She had to go out alive to take revenge!She felt that someone had placed a hand on her leg and instantly her stomach convulsed."I am... Etan's woman. You should know him. If you don't want to die... Just do it."Her voice was so weak and hoarse that almost no one could hear what she said clearly.But the word "Etan" made everyone freeze.Everyone knew Etan. He was a big shot in Cornview.Henry's face suddenly changed dramatically, and he stopped someone's hand on Jean's leg."Do you have any evidence?"Jean couldn't open h
Chapter 229Dylan Sabin believed Jean's words almost immediately.Because both he and Henry were boss of their gangster groups respectively. They had been fighting and competing in North Harbor for many years. It could be said that they were each other’s worst enemy, as they had been fighting ruthlessly against each other for territory and business.Both had killed each other’s men.Henry suddenly said that he wanted to make peace and sent Dylan such a beautiful woman.Dylan had felt that something was strange. But when he saw Jean, he was totally attracted by her and forgot everything for a while.‘Henry wants to kill me with others’ help.’Jean gasped. "How about we discuss a deal?"Dylan did not look at Jean in a sleazy way as before, as he felt very scared now.In his opinion, Jean was a bomb that could blow him to pieces."You let me go. I will go back to find Etan and I will never mention you in front of him. I’ll also ask him to deal with Henry's men. How about it? Thi
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
