Chapter 273She froze, and after a moment, she lowered her head and replied, "Yes!" She behaved so calm that Etan frowned. When she came back this time, she was different from what she used to be. Shouldn't she cry, lean weakly in his arms and pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic, and then take advantage of the opportunity to make an offer? But why didn't she do it?How could she miss such a good opportunity? "I'm sorry, I know you've been through a lot these days. I can make it up to you what you want." Jean didn't make any demands. So he asked her directly.Jean chuckled, "In fact, I didn't suffer any hardship. That madman arranged for me to be taken good care of, and now I'm back safe and sound and unhurt..." Suddenly she stopped, because she saw the tattoo on her left wrist. She was back, but the mark that he left on her could never be eliminated. The rose was getting brighter and brighter, and the blood dripping from the bird pierced by thorns seemed to be fl
Chapter 274After Jean helped him wear his tie, she took a step back and stared at him.This man not only had a handsome face, but also had a perfect figure. In the entire entertainment industry, no male entertainer was the same as him.Etan put on his jacket and saw that she was still staring at him.He smiled and asked, "Do you like me?"Jean came back to her senses and her face instantly turned pale.She didn't dare to look at him and said nervously, "What did you say? Impossible!"These words were said to Etan, but also to herself.Yes. Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"I... want to ask you one thing." Jean lowered her head and deliberately changed the topic."What is it?""Henry is dead. Did you kill him?""No."Etan had wanted to solve him. He would not let go of Henry.But Henry had been killed. Etan guessed the murderer, but he had no evidence.The crime scene was clean, and nothing was left.The murderer just used a knife to kill Henry.Jean continued, "Etan
Etan stood outside the door, puzzled.He had just told Jean the truth. Why was the expression on her face so... strange?She told him that she believed him, but her eyes said otherwise. She had reason to believe that she still firmly regarded Alana and her daughter as her kidnappers. Etan found it hard to tell her that it was his grandmother who kidnapped her. Ten minutes later, Etan still hadn't moved. Elliot couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Mann, shall we go?""Go or get in. You can't just stay here like this," he groaned inwardly. Etan raised his hand to knock on the door but found no words to say. He sighed, "Let's go to the office."...After Etan left, Jean sat in the room for a long time.After staying here for just two days, she somehow had a feeling of... home. She was delusional. She was not her usual self in just two days. Jean took a deep breath and muttered to herself, "Stop your wishful thinking. It's not gonna happen. Don't attach any extravagant hope t
Chapter 276"Cruz, what's wrong with you? It's been a few days. Why aren't you skilled in these few moves? Everything was fine with you before. Why can't you make it all of a sudden?""Kim, what's wrong? Is it because Cruz doesn't study hard? You can tell me about it. I'll criticize him!"Jean's voice suddenly rang out.Everyone in the practice room looked at her. She walked in, followed by quite a few people behind her.Hearing Jean's voice, Cruz's eyes instantly lit up. He didn't look at the people around him but ran straight to her.She raised her hand to slap the top of his head, "What's going on? I didn't go back to the office for just a few days. Why didn't you listen to the teacher? You've made the teacher angry."Cruz blushed slightly and lowered his head, "No."The other four trainees looked at Jean curiously. It was the first time for them to see her.Kim came over and said, "Ms. Mitchell, I don't know what's going on with Cruz lately. He..."Cruz interrupted him, "
Chapter 277Jean calmed down at once. She understood that Tyson did it on purpose. She patted her forehead and laughed, "I was so busy that I forgot the time. If you didn't remind me, I wouldn't have remembered it."She showed a bright smile. But at this moment, there seemed to be a huge stone in her heart, and it was difficult for her to breath."So you didn't prepare the dress. Can I help you?"Jean refused decisively, "No, thanks. I was a popular actress before. Even if I was wrapped in a bed sheet, I could still overwhelm the audience. I've never been afraid to compare with others."Tyson smiled and nodded his head, "That's right!"She did have confidence to say such words. It was impossible for people to ignore her aggressive beauty no matter where she was.He suddenly said, "However, if my cousin is engaged to your stepsister, your goal of seducing him will be difficult to achieve!"Jean smiled tenderly. She walked in front of him deliberately. The two of them stood very
Chapter 278Jean tapped her fingers on the table.‘Could Alana's adulterer be the one I think about?’‘If her adulterer were really that person, would our family be involved in other people's conspiracy for so many years?’...At this time, in the Mitchell family mansion, Anne looked at the pictures of the pieces of evening dress sent by the Mann family. More than a dozen pieces were made by the world's top designers and each one was very expensive.These were all tailored specifically to her figure. Anne needed to change three pieces of dress at the engagement banquet so she had to pick out three pieces today.Each piece of dress looked exquisite but Anne was still a little dissatisfied."It would be great if I could invite Galene to design evening dress for me."Alana glanced at her. "This designer has never shown up and hasn't made new evening dress for more than a year. Her talent must have been exhausted a long time ago. Why do you always pay attention to these trivial th
Chapter 279What did he mean, how could Etan not know?The courtyard of the Mann family’s mansion was beautifully laid out. Etan suddenly had a unfamiliar feeling as he walked in the house that he was ever most familiar with in the night.Luck kept talking, but Etan wasn’t listening to him.Suddenly, he coldly asked, "Luke, why did Grandma kidnap Jean?" Luke was panicked, but he calmed himself down soon, "What are you talking about, I don't understand!"After all, he had been around, so he looked extraordinarily calm.Etan said indifferently, "Luke, you're old now, it's time to enjoy the rest of your life!"Actually, Etan did not need Luke to admit anything.Mrs. Mann was his grandmother, so he couldn’t punish her. But Jean suffered so much at the mercy of that pervert, Etan simply did not know how they had abused Jean, and he refused to let them get away with this matter.Therefore, Etan could only start investigating form Luke. Luke got a nasty shock . "Mr. Mann, altho
Chapter 280In the past, he wouldn't interfere with anyone Grandma wanted to kill. But if the person she wanted to kill was Jean, he would not allow it."Grandma, what are you angry about?" "You..." Mrs. Mann said angrily, "Get out of here. I don't want to see you. Get out!" Did he have the nerve to ask her what she was angry about?Etan still stood still, looking at her without expression! Mrs. Mann sat up without looking at Etan and shouted outside the door, "Is there anybody here? Come here and help me get him out!" "Luke may not be able to come. Let me know if you have anything to say." Etan said slowly. "What do you mean?" Mrs. Mann immediately realized that he had meant something else. "Luke is old. I have arranged for him to retire. Don't worry, I will make him worry-free for the rest of his life." The news made Mrs. Mann's eyes wide with anger, and the flabby muscle on her face trembled ferociously, "How dare you! I can't believe you got rid of my man! Did you
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
