“Yeah, I am coming to beg you. Where are you?”“Tell me the address, and I will send someone to pick you up.”“Alright.”The line went dead, and Jason was ecstatic. “Like I said, there is no woman that I can’t get. I will have someone pick her up. She is in Wallingden; driving will be too slow. I have got to arrange for a helicopter.”He was excited, like a child who could not wait to get his favorite toy.After Jason left, Etan continued his work as usual.But half an hour later, he could no longer read even a page of documents....Hanging up the phone, Jean had an icy look in her eyes.Alana stole her dad, and Anne stole her identity as the eldest daughter of the Mitchell family.Since they dared to do these, she would not play nice to them.She knew Anne must have used her relationship with Etan to get into the Mitchell family.Jean sneered. Since that was the case, she was going to steal that man away from Anne.The best way to get close to Etan was to get to Jason f
Jason jumped to his feet, wanting to pull Jean over. Just then, his phone rang. When he picked, his face changed. “My grandpa fainted. Bro, look after Jean for me until I am back.”Jason left. Now, only Jean and Etan were in the cubicle, just as Jean wanted it.She bit him so hard. It was not until she tasted blood in her mouth that she let off.The bite marks on his wrist were bleeding. But he did not seem to feel anything. “Please respect yourself, Miss Mitchell.”“Isn’t this what you all want? I was just fulfilling you guys’ desire. So stop pretending.” She looked at him with a stubborn look in her eyes. The bloodstain on her lips made her look wild and beautiful, just like a succubus.He narrowed his eyes, concealing the gloominess in his eyes and heart.“Not everyone is into you.”“You don’t want me? Then why don’t you let go of my hand?” she sneered.She pushed him. He fell on the settee, and she was on top of him.Before he knew it, she planted her lips on his. There wa
He wrapped his hands around her wasp waist and said bluntly, “You had better not regret it.”Jean quietly sneered as she buried her face in his shoulder. She was not in the slightest drunk.She only regretted that she had not done this earlier.Seducing Etan was just the first step of her revenge plan.She knew very well that a man like Etan was cold-hearted and ruthless. If she wanted to win his heart, she must get ingenious.There was no time to lose. She could not afford to progress step by step with him.If she could not get his affection now, she at least wanted to get to his desire.So the two of them spent a night in the dim cubicle.At dawn, Etan carried Jean in his arm as he walked out of the nightclub. She was unconscious.He wrapped her in his jacket, so no one would see her face but just her long, black hair that dangled and fluttered in the wind.…As the sky turned bright, Jean woke up. She stared at the ceiling for a long while.The extreme discomfort on her
When Jean arrived at her residence, no more paparazzi were waiting outside her house.But those spray red paint of insulting words remained on the door and wall outside.It looked bloody like a murder scene.Taking out her cell phone, she took photos of it.Her phone rang as soon as she stepped into the house. It was an unidentified caller.Since her phone number was private, few people knew about it.She hesitated if she should answer. At last, she did. “Hello?”“Miss Mitchell, I am the legal counsel of Galax Star Productions. Regarding your—”“Tell Willie I will pay double the money to him in a week. Ask him don’t harass me.”She had tons of debts to pay, and lawyer letters and indictments awaited her.But those were not important.Those debts were nothing once she returned to the Mitchell family.She was planning her next step, which was to return to the Mitchell family.Mitchell Corporation was founded by her dad and her mom. She would never allow it to fall into the h
“That won’t be necessary.”But Anne kept talking to make herself feel less awkward. “I think the gauze is a little loose. I can re-bandage it for you. I used to act as a nurse after going to the hospital to study for two months.”While speaking, she reached over her hand. But Etan instinctively resented it.“That’s okay.”Etan’s grandma took that all in and glared at Etan. “Anne cares about you. Not everyone would do that. You should be grateful.”“I am sure a man like you has tons of girls surrounding you. I look too inadequate in comparison. If you meet a girl who matches you, do let me know. I will give my blessing to you two.” Anne just wanted to sound him out.“What are you talking about, Anne? I can assure you that Etan has no other woman. Don’t worry.” Etan’s grandma furrowed her brows.“Did you tell Anne that you have another woman, Etan?”Anne secretly clenched her hands.Etan thought of Jean. “No.”“See, he has only you.” His grandma guffawed.Anne bashed. She lowe
An hour later, Robert regained his consciousness. He looked around but did not see Jean. There was just a nurse here giving him a jab. He sighed, thinking that he probably had a hallucination—no way his daughter would come to see him.“How do you feel, Mr. Mitchell?” the nurse asked.“I feel better.”“Ring the bell if you need anything. Have a good rest.”The nurse went out but left the door open ajar.Robert then heard a voice outside. It was Jean.“As much as I hate him, he is still my dad. I don’t want anything to happen to him. I have lost my mom, and I don’t want to lose my dad.”Her voice trembled with a thick nasal sound. Apparently, she had been crying for a while.Robert heard what she said, and his heart softened. He was angry no more.As stubborn and belligerent as Jean was, she was still the little girl whom he remembered. She used to train her puppy dog eyes on him and cared about him.He remembered when Jean was a child, she would call him Dad, run over, and plu
“Bro…”Etan looked at Jean with piercing eyes. “Respect yourself, Miss Mitchell.”Jason buckled under Etan’s pressure.Jean strode past Etan, and her shoulder brushed past his arm.She did not spare him a glance as if she did not know him.An explanation was useless now. She just let them carry on the misunderstanding.But Jason’s attitude was interesting. He wanted more than just a one-night stand.Since she presented herself to him, he wanted to milk the cow as much as possible.But Jean had left. He kicked the trash can in frustration. The trash can was knocked over with a loud clang.“Darn it! That woman thinks that she could make a comeback by hooking up with an old man. Not a chance! I won’t let that happen,” Jason cursed. “Am I not looking better, wealthier, and stronger than that old man? I can give her everything that the old man could give her. Yet, she chose him. Is she stupid or something?” He paced back and forth. “Bro, I am going to fix her. You had better not st
‘I am always on your side, Jean!’‘This world might be dark, and I might be small, but I am willing to be a firefly for you, working hard to illuminate your world. Don’t give up!’‘Dear Goddess Jean, I wasn’t your fan at first, but somehow you grew on me, and I became your fan, and from fan became your diehard fan—all that happened in just a few days. Thank you for giving me the courage in this bloody world. I love you. I am willing to be your sword to fight for you!’Amid a sea of insults, Jean found a few tweets that cheered for her.Tears flowed involuntarily as she read on.She felt like the Little Match Girl, who was frozen to death after the warmth of the fire from her last match faded.She checked her follower count. It used to be thousands of them, but now there were less than 200 left.These remaining followers were giving each other encouragement and even organizing anti-smearing activities.Jean tweeted, ‘Thank you for believing in me. You all don’t have to do anythi
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
