Chapter 256Looking at the words on the kite, he had wanted to laugh at her. But he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something in his throat and he couldn't say anything. It said, "Clare, may your next life be carefree and peaceful!"He looked at it for an hour and let out a snort.'Jean, you are so stupid.There is no Clare in this world!'At that moment, Jean was lying in bed. She wondered if her acting could convince the man.For the next three evenings, he asked her to read books for him behind two screens.On the first day, she read The Adventures of Tom SawyerOn the second day, she read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.On the third day, she read A Tale of Two Cities.Moreover, she was forced to learn table manners.Every time Jean wanted to be lazy, he would hit her hand with a pearl through the screen. She was so painful that she shed tears."Work hard. There is no useless person like you around me."Jean gritted her teeth. She wondered how he could hit h
Chapter 257The girl passing on message was quite complacent by seeing Jean's pallid face."Ms. Mitchell, don't be sad, after all we are different. You know we were trained at very young age, and we have nothing to hide from the Sir. But you are a new comer, and who knows if you will do something someday against Sir or not. These days Sir has been interested into you out of curiosity, well for the sake of service you provided, I think Sir will help you ..." The noise she made in the eyes of Jean was only annoying. Jean coldly interrupted her and said, "Are you proud of being a servant?"Her expression suddenly changed, "Say again?"Jean scorned, "Isn't that true? Others don't treat you as a human being, so do yourself.""That's true. You take yourself seriously, but don't you know that you will end up being worse than a dog after tonight?"Jean clenched her fists, with nails sinking into the palms.She thought it would work a little bit for her good behaves these days, but it turned
Chapter 258Jean looked at herself in the mirror and only found it ironic."Ms. Mitchell, this way please."They took her in front of Master."Master, Ms. Mitchell is coming."Jean looked up at him. He was still wearing a mask. She had stayed with him for several days, but she had never really seen his face.He was still holding the fan, where there was a painting of a landscape. He looked at her for a long time and nodded with satisfaction, "Do you like the dress?"A few days ago, he had this dress specially customized for Jean.The best designer made this dress with the best fabric. Its pattern was a phoneix. Such a wonderful dress didn't fit many people except Jean.Jean sneered, 'Should I like the dress provided by a man who is up to no good?''I'm not a masochist.'"Don't you like it?""Don't you think it is beautiful?"Jean didn't answer his question, but asked, "Do you think I should like it?"He closed the fan and tapped his palm. The smile on his face behind the
Chapter 259Mr. White came on stage, he wore a pure white mask and said, "This is the last one. It is a rare and once-in-a-lifetime treasure. I think as long as you see it, you will love it. No one will resist its temptation.""I won’t say too much. Here it is."The moment he finished speaking, a table slowly rose from the middle of the stage, on which a box covered with red cloth was laid.Etan frowned.Everyone stretched their necks and waited for Mr. White to uncover it. Finally, Mr. White uncovered the red cloth, revealing the finale auction.It was a blood-red round diamond. Even through the glass cover, people could sense the fear. Besides, a note with incantations was attached.Everyone was shocked. How could they take such an evil thing as the finale?The scowl on Etan's face deepened and it looked more terrible than the evil diamond.He thought that the final auction item was Jean, but unexpectedly, it was not.Elliot was panicked too. Was Jean not on the Diamond
Chapter 260He was sure that Jean was on this ship, and it must be that crazy man refused to let her go.Anyway, today, he had to take Jean away. The movement in the meeting hall immediately reached the man.He picked up Jean's chin with his fan, "It's interesting outside. Come here. Push me out. Here comes the real finale."She clung to a black piece in her hand. She was finally waiting for…Jean silently got up.She pushed the man forward, followed by 8 young girls behind her.The venue was just a few steps ahead, and the Man suddenly asked, "Guess, will Etan come today?"Jean paused for a moment, "Etan?"Even if that man came, he didn’t come for her.What was the relationship between them?Master narrowed his eyes and there was no smile on his face under the mask.He had been looking forward to Etan’s coming. After all, he was bored and wanted to see the fun.However, when Etan did come, he was suddenly unhappy.…Mr. White said unhappily, "Gentleman, this is Diam
Chapter 261From the moment she knew she was kidnapped, she didn't think that Etan would save her.But she didn't expect him to come!Master's languid eyes slowly turned cold. He suddenly reached out to grab Jean's slender wrist and pulled her into his arms with force.He looked at Etan provocatively, "No way. I like her very much recently. I can't give her to you!"Jean struggled. However, he was so strong that she couldn't move at all."She is my woman. You have no right to make a decision for her!" There was a killing aura in Etan's eyes."How could you be so domineering? Do you like her so much?""This has nothing to do with you. She is mine. I won't allow her to be with others!"If the eyes could kill people, Master would have died many times."What? But she's been with me these days, she's mine too!"Jean glared at him fiercely. Nothing happened between them, but he deliberately said these words.It was silent. People felt that the atmosphere was more and more stiflin
Chapter 262At this time, if he ordered to fight with Etan, people in the entire ship, including the patrons who came today, would die.The ship would sink to the bottom of the sea forever.He didn't seem to want to see her sink with the ship forever at the bottom of the sea.He made a decision and said to Etan, "Let's make a bet. Let's see if she's willing to go with you or stay here!"He let go of Jean. She immediately stood up and got far away from him."If she wants to go with you, I won't stop her. But if she wants to stay here, you should go with your men!"Etan looked at Jean and said, "Good!"Master asked Jean, "Do you know why you should wear this dress today? This is the wedding dress customized for you!"Jean was shocked."If you are willing to stay here, today is our engagement banquet. From now on, you are the mistress here!"Before he finished speaking, everyone gasped and Mr. White was shocked.No one in the global sea dared to mess with the Diamond Ship. Eve
Chapter 263They surrounded the Diamond Ship with many ships today.However, if they really fought, the forces would appear after the Diamond Ship sank!Even the Mann family may can't be match for them.After Etan and his men left, the individual buyers who attended the auction also left in panic.They were afraid that if something really happened, they would be implicated.Tyson followed the crowd to leave. He had thought the auction would be in a mess.Unfortunately, nothing happened.But it could prove that Etan had put much pressure on that madman today, so that he released Jean quickly.At the same time, Etan attached great importance to Jean.This woman had become his weaknesses.This was really something deserving to celebrate.It was worth the trip!...In fact, Jean had disappeared for less than half a month, which was not too long. But now she was held in Etan's arms once again. This feeling seemed to be distant.Leaning in his arms, breathing in his faint smel
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
