Chapter 282After saying something more, Etan left the old mansion. This used to be his home, but now he didn't want to come back.Elliot drove the car and asked, "Mrs. Mann doesn't like Lisa. But you saved her and took her back. Are you trying to confront Mrs. Mann? She will be more unhappy."When Etan was a child, it was Lisa who took care of him.After Sarah left, she took the role of his mother.But later Mrs. Mann tortured Lisa for she didn't like the fact that Etan and Lisa got along well with each other.It was not until Etan was in high school did he accidentally find it out.When he came back from school that day, he saw that Mrs. Mann had Lisa kneel outside on the cobblestone floor. She was holding a copper bowl above her head with both hands, which was filled with hot water.This was the first time that Etan quarreled with his grandma!After that, Lisa took the initiative to leave the old mansion to manage Etan's private house outside.Etan closed his eyes and said
Chapter 283Elliot felt embarrassed. ‘Where will Mr. Mann want to go?’He wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask Etan.‘Is it possible that Mr. Mann wants to meet Miss Mitchell at this time?’More than half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Dreamers Entertainment.Elliot asked cautiously, "Mr. Mann, should I go in and find Miss Mitchell?""Who lets you make a decision?" Etan's voice was cold."I..." Elliot swallowed, feeling terrified.Could it be that he guessed Etan’s mind wrong?"I'm sorry, Mr. Mann. I... I'll just drive away."However, Etan did not reply to him. This made Elliot feel even more confused.Etan clicked WhatsApp and sent a message to Jean. “Where are you?”After a while she replied. “I’m working overtime in the company.”Etan, “Come down!”Jean in the office was stunned for a while when she saw Etan’s message."What's wrong?"Jean ignored Jenny. She suddenly stood up and walked to the window.Four luxury cars parked there."Wow, who parked so m
Chapter 284When Jean got in the car, Elliot immediately started it.Etan remained silent. Jean tucked her hair and spoke first, "How come you are here?""Why are you disobeying me again?" Etan's voice was low. He was obviously upset.Jean didn't argue with him. She snuggled up to him, put her arms around him, and said gently, "I couldn't help myself. Besides, I have you. Nothing will happen to me. I trust you!"Elliot felt goosebumps all over his skin. He thought that Jean would insist that she was right, being stubborn, and quarrel with Etan, as she used to be.However, she didn't do that, and not only that, she even played cute after she got in the car. Her voice was so soft that it sounded extrmely tempting to him.Etan was actually in an awful mood. However, seeing her playing cute, he was softened and eased up. He pinched her chin, "You've learned your lesson!"Jean blinked, "Is that bad? If you don't like it, how about I have a fight with you?"Before she could say more
Chapter 285Being picked out by Etan at the age of ten, Elliot had been by his side since he was a child.Maybe Elliot wasn't the one who knew Etan the best, but he had spent the longest time with him.However, Mrs. Mann hadn't spent as much time as Elliot being with Etan.Before meeting Jean, the adult Etan was emotionally stable, indifferent and calm. He seemed to stand on top of a high mountain and overlook the world.After meeting Jean, he gradually began to be a normal person, who would be happy, angry or sad.Elliot felt happy but also worried about Etan.He didn't ask Etan where he was going but drove the car back to the Swanlake Hotel silently....Jean had a good sleep. As soon as she opened her eyes at dawn, she saw Etan.He naturally embraced her, and the two of them slept in a very intimate position.They seemed to be a real couple.His eyes were closed. Jean noticed his long and thick eyelashes. She couldn't help but reach out to fiddle with his eyelashes gentl
Chapter 286Jean had a quick kiss on his lips."How about this?"Etan’s look remained unchanged. It seemed that he was unmoved, "Just so so, not enough yet!"Being so close, Jean clearly saw his eyes smiled.Sure enough, it worked on flirtatious men.Jean gently pulled Etan's neck toward her, and had a lingering kiss on his lips.After a while, her cheeks were scarlet, "How about this?"Etan’s eyes were dark, but his expression remained unchanged, "Almost close."Jean had to make one more try.By the time Etan was satisfied, it was already 10:00 am. After taking a shower, Etan put on his clothes and was about to leave."Later, someone will send up a meal. Eat it before you leave!""Okay!" Looking at the back of Etan, Jean said slowly , "By the way, congratulations, you are getting engaged tomorrow."Tomorrow, Etan was getting engaged with Anne.It was already ironic that the step-sister was was getting engaged tomorrow, while she was still flirting with her s
Chapter 287Jean was confused, "What do you mean?" "No wonder Etan kept you outside." Jean's face changed and her eyes cooled, "Ma'am, what you said has confused me. There have always been rumors that I was kept by men of all kinds, but those don't include the younger master of Mann family!" Sarah smiled, and she suddenly held out her hand and gently picked the scarf around Jean's neck, "I've been through everything you've been through, so don't play dumb." Jean blushed, this scarf was to cover the trace on her neck. "I am Etan's mother." "What?" Jean was really surprised after hearing that. She always thought Etan's mother was dead. She looked closely at Sarah's face, and the more she looked at her, the more she felt that this woman was somewhat similar to Etan. Etan's good-looking facial features were inherited from the genes of the lady in front of her."This is not a good place to talk. Let's find a place to talk." "Okay!" Jean nodded. She didn't understand wh
Chapter 288"Tomorrow is Anne and Etan's engagement banquet. Don't you want to do anything?"Jean curled her red lips, "It has nothing to do with me. I seduced your son just to get back at Anne and her mother!"Sarah said slowly, "I heard that your mother's death had something to do with her mother!"The smile on Jean's face instantly disappeared, and she looked at Sarah coldly."I have a blood test report of your mother before she died, which proves that the real cause of her death was poisoned heavy metal thallium!"Sarah took out an old blood test report and handed it to her!"This poison is known as the perfect poison. It is colorless and tasteless with highly toxicity and slow reaction. If it enters a person's body, maybe it will work two weeks later. The initial symptoms are something like very common illnesses, such as mild flu and gastritis."Jean was shocked at this news. Looking at the blood test report that Sarah handed to her, she gripped the glass of water in her h
Chapter 289Jean totally understood the hatred in Sarah's eyes, because she had also fallen into hatred.When Sarah mentioned Mrs. Mann, the hatred inside her made her slightly crazy.Jean suddenly understood why Sarah would come to her."I hope you can think carefully about what I said. It brings you no harm but the good." Sarah quickly calmed down, and her smile once again turned friendly and warm."You are expecting me to go against Mrs. Mann after I married into the Mann family, right?""That's right. I really hope so, because she probably only lost to you after so many years.""But... I don't like being taken advantage of. I'll take revenge by myself, but thanks for telling me the truth. As for cooperation, I think I'll pass."Sarah's proposal was indeed very attractive. But she came out of the blue and she knew too much. Jean had no idea who else was behind her.Though Jean believed the blood test report was true, she wouldn't work with someone who she knew nothing about."Ms. Mi
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
