Chapter 242Twelve pavilions and five cities nestled in the Diamond Palace in the heaven.Those who heard of this sentence all knew that the ‘Diamond Palace’ was the residence of the god in the heaven!Therefore, the so-called Diamond Ship was a mysterious cruise ship, which you could call it either a fairyland or a hell.It was like a ghost ship traveling on the sea, which was an uncrowned king on the sea.As long as it appeared somewhere, it meant the auction day was coming there!People from all over the world could aboard the Diamond Ship as long as they could get the diamond token. On the Diamond Ship, as long as you had enough chips, you could bid for anything you want!The chips were not limited to money and other treasures.The auctions were even more bizarre.There, you could buy a chance of killing someone, which would be carried out by the best killer.You could also bid for as much powers and positions as you want.There you could realize your dreams.There wa
Chapter 243Jean asked why the girls who took care of her before didn't come.The girl who was combing her hair said, ''They are too useless. Master said that they wasted food. Mr. White dealt with them."Her tone was very calm.It seemed to be an extremely normal thing to deal with a person here.However, Jean was shocked.'What do you mean? They were... dead?'"They were... dead?""You won't see them anymore. You don't need to bother about such a trivial matter!"Jean clenched her hand slowly.'Such a trivial matter?Is human life a trivial matter?'Her throat was uncomfortable as if there was something inside."Is it because of me?""It has nothing to do with you."Jean looked at her smiling face. Her smile was sweet, but it was false. There seemed to be a smiley mask on her face!She felt so cold, as if there were countless icy snakes at her back.What a horrible place!No matter what they thought, Jean felt that the four girls had taken good care of her.They di
Chapter 244Jean suddenly sat up. 'Shit, what is it?'It seemed to be a terrible escape game that she had played before.Before she could think more, she heard the sound of a countdown.Jean immediately got out of the bed. She quickly looked around the room and found nothing could be used as a weapon.In case she would hurt herself, there wasn't even a toothbrush in the room!"That bastard!"Of course, she scolded Master.Jean really felt that he was a madman.She saw that he didn't take human life seriously during the day and night.The countdown was almost over, so Jean picked up two slippers, opened the door, and ran out of her room!She had just walked out of the room when the countdown stopped. She heard the shots from the room behind her.She looked back and there were several holes in the ceiling. The gun had shotted out a dozen bullets. There were many holes on her quilt, and the velvet inside flew in the air.Jean was so scared that her legs went weak.Although s
Chapter 245Jean pursed her lips. She actually didn't want to do that. She just...did it on impulse and didn't think too much."Were you also captured by that madman?""Madman?" The teenager froze. Then he realized who she was talking about and said, "Yes.""He's really a madman!""My name is Clare Brown. Are you... Jean Mitchell?"Jean didn't answer.She felt too ashamed of herself."I've seen your dramas. I like you very much." Clare's cheeks were slightly red and he was a little shy.Jean stopped, "Really? In case of danger later, please rush out in front of me."After realizing that she was still holding his hand, she immediately let go of him.Clare looked at his wrist and then at Jean. He hurried to catch up with her.After walking for a long time, they didn't encounter any danger. Jean became more alert.The madman would never let them go. Since there should be only one survivor in the end, he must have wanted them to kill each other.Jean looked at the teenager be
Chapter 246The girl next to her was so scared that she couldn't stop crying: "What should we do?"The fierce-looking man said: "I advise you to behave yourselves. After all, if you have chosen the right one, you still have a chance to survive, but if you refuse to choose, you will be beaten to death."As he said, he pointed to the middle-aged woman: "You come first.""No, I don't choose!" The middle-aged woman screamed in fright." You're not calling the shots!"After he said, a tall and strong man held her, opened a door, and pushed her hard.Next, everyone saw that there was a big fire in the empty room, and the middle-aged woman instantly became a fire woman, screamed hysterically, and everyone was freaking out!This scene was too scary, and Jean trembled all over.The fierce-looking man happily said: "one wrong answer is ruled out, there are three left, you will have more probabilities to survive. Who is the second one?"The weak girl was scared that she hid behind Jean.
Chapter 247"I won't be surprised if the crazy Master is going to destroy the world one day." The men who had followed them came after them. They wanted Jean to cross the single-plank bridge first to see if it was safe.Clare took Jean's hand and said, "I'll go first." This time Jean didn't stop him. Clare spread his arms and walked slowly onto the thin single-plank bridge. Jean watched him nervously. She dared not utter a word for fearing that he might fall.Fortunately, although Clare wobbled twice in the middle of the bridge, he kept his balance. When Clare got to the other side of this bridge safely, he shouted, "Jean, it's safe. Just be careful when you pass over!" Jean nodded. She swallowed twice and took a deep breath. Then she spread her arms to keep her balance, and looked ahead. She was ready to move, but she was still afraid to look down. If she fell, she would be torn apart by those piranhas instantly! After walking for a while, Jean suddenly felt wrong and
Chapter 248"I should thank you."Clare Brown stretched out his hand, and so did Jean. He held her hand and pulled her up.He whispered, "Jean, I've found a secret."Jean followed his sight and saw a button.She turned to look at the opposite bank.After seeing the bridge, the two fierce-looking men got on the bridge.When they reached the middle of the bridge, Clare pressed the button. The bridge broke from the middle instantly. The two men on the bridge screamed and fell into the pool.Countless piranhas pounced on them. The pool water instantly turned red!Jean was so scared that she took several steps back.Even though she was calm, she couldn't stand such a scene.She was a human being. Even if she wasn't a good person, she couldn't stand people dying in front of her.Clare looked at her with curiosity in his eyes.He said, "Jean, don't be afraid. Let's go."He took her hand and continued walking forward."They are bad people. They want us to die. Jean, you don't ha
Chapter 249Clare was surprised, "What are you talking about? Don't you want to leave alive?"Jean lowered her head to glance at the tattoo on her left wrist and smiled.She had fled in the midnight and been in danger. Her face and dress were covered with other people's blood. She looked so wretched but beautiful.She said in a very relaxed voice, "I've been unlucky since I was a child. Although I used to say that I want to take revenge on all the people who have hurt me, but... It's too tiring to hate someone. I would be painful to hurt others. Even if I hadn't been kidnapped here, I wouldn't want to be alive! It's too tiring to be alive. Dead might be a relief for me."Her voice was calm. She seemed to have seen through everything. There was silence in her eyes. She seemed to have lost hope for the future.She was mature beyond her ages.Clare pursed his lips and stared at her closely. His expression was complicated.Jean looked up at him with a brilliant smile, "But you are
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
