Chapter 321Jeremy pulled Jason to his feet and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "Etan has been our friend for so many years. You don’t have to go as so far as this just for a woman. And, what happened today indicates that more annoyances are coming to Etan in the future, so stop being angry with him now.""And, I think Jean is to be blamed for the whole thing. She must have seduced Etan first."Jason looked up fiercely at Jeremy, "Shut up, don’t ever speak of her in that way. You do not really know what kind of a person she is. Who are you to say that about her?" Jeremy said to himself, ‘Shit! I become the one to be blamed?’ "You’ve never fallen in love with someone, right?""I don’t think it’s a good thing to be in love with anyone. It’s best for me not to love anyone in my life." Jeremy replied after thinking about it. Jason said seriously, "I love Jean, and I have never loved someone like this before. And I guess it will be hard to meet one I love so much
Chapter 322Alana couldn't hold back her anger and cried, "There must be some despicable means you can learn from her. As long as you can be with Etan, don't care about too much."Anne gritted her teeth, "I've used more despicable means, but it was in vain."After all, men liked beautiful women."Don't talk nonsense. What should I do?""You should think about it yourself!"Anne was so angry that she fell on her bed and started crying again.Alana's gaze was sinister, 'There was no good means now.'Even if they wanted to get Jean killed, they didn't have chance to do it today.They could only wait for Etan's decision.But no matter what he decided to do, Jean had to die. If she didn't die, Anne and her mother wouldn't feel at ease....It was very dark outside the window. Jean wasn't sleepy at all.She was also waiting for Etan's decision. What she did today was a gamble.She wanted to take revenge on Anne and Alana, for she didn't want to see their complacency.So she wa
Chapter 323She sadly thought that if she lost the bet, she would not survive the dawn.She waited, but Etan never took any action.Half an hour passed, he stood there without moving, like a pillar.Finally, it was Jean who couldn't stand it anymore. "You’ve been watching me for quite a while. If you are ready to kill me, please hurry up. If you don't do it, please leave.I don't like being watched when I'm sleeping."Jean's voice was a bit hoarse and tired.Etan didn’t move nor did he say anything.Jean sighed, sat up and reached out to turn on the bedside table lamp.The dim light lit up, illuminating the small space.Jean raised her head and met Etan's dark and deep eyes.In fact, she was sorry for him.She was up to no good from the start. She seduced him, used him, and then pushed him into a dilemma. She even ruined his reputation.She was so bad while he was so good.She couldn't just give him to anyone else.She wanted him, but she didn't dare to tell him tha
Chapter 324Etan gazed at Jean's belly.Child...He had never thought about what his child would look like, or who would be the child's mother.But the child just arrived without any signs.Jean gently touched her belly, "I must be stupid if I don't take the advantage of this bargaining chip."Etan suddenly got furious by what Jean said. A sense of coldness could be felt from him, and the temperature in the room immediately dropped."So the child is just the bargaining chip for you?"Jean trembled but continued to say, "Do you really expect that I would love the child?"Etan shouted, "If you don't love him, you should neither carry him nor be his mother. You shoud not even bring him to this world..."Why did you bring him to this world if you had no love for him?Then why couldn't you treat him well after he was born?It was exactly the same as what Sarah did to him. She brought him to this world, but totally ignored him. So many nights were there when he begged his mom's returning hom
Chapter 325Etan stared at Jean's belly and suddenly shook off her hand with force. Anger appeared under his eyes, but he tried to suppress it."You want to take advantage of the child to destroy Anne's marriage!"Jean nodded, "That's right."Not only did she want to destroy Anne's wedding banquet, she also wanted to be with him.She hid her love with meanness and shamelessness for fear of being seen by him and disgusted by him.She could accept that he loathed her, but she couldn't accept that he loathed her love.Jean took a few steps back and sat down, "You are the most powerful person in Cornview. It's normal that I want to be with you. If I were with you, it would be the biggest blow to Anne and her mother."Etan looked at her with his cold eyes, "Is that all?"Jean laughed, "I love you. Do you believe me?"Of course Etan didn't believe her. She was so despicable that she even took advantage of the unborn child.How could she possibly know how to love?She didn't deser
Chapter 326But what she gave him in return was a knife thrust into his heart!In the middle of the night the wind came up and whimpered, beating against the window.Jean had been up all night, waiting for dawn in despair!At seven o 'clock, daylight came, and there was a knock on the door."Come in." Jean sat up.The door opened and Lisa came in with two servants carrying clothes and shoes."Ms. Mitchell Mr. Mann asked us to bring them to you.""Thank you.""Would you like some help with your make-up?""No, thank you.""Mr. Mann is waiting for you downstairs.""Okay, I got it."After Lisa and the servants left, Jean got up. Probably because she had not slept all night, her blood sugar was low. She almost fainted and held the bed for a while before she felt better.While brushing her teeth, her stomach twitched and she retched for a while while leaning on the washstand.She thought it was because she hadn't eaten anything the day before.She rinsed her mouth and put on
Chapter 327He got dark shadows under his eyes, so she guessed that he had not slept well last night too.He was really good looking. No matter how exquisite a face she had seen, Jean always remembered the shock of that moment when she first saw Etan.Perhaps, from the moment she saw him for the first time, she had a crush on him at first sight.She wanted to say something but ultimately she didn’t say anything.He no longer felt disgusted with her.The weather today was a bit gloomy. A cold snap lowered the temperature to several degrees. There was not much traffic on the road at this time of day. Under the gloomy sky, the tall buildings in the distance looked depressed.Jean didn't know where Etan was taking her, and she was a little nervous.The car finally stopped after driving for more than half an hour.The driver opened the door for Etan first, and after he got out of the car, he said to Jean, "Get out."Jean didn't know what was waiting for her and hesitated for a few
Chapter 328It was somewhat unbelievably fast.Her plot last night was her last hope and she didn't dare to imagine what would happen.She had thought that destroying Anne's engagement would have been the best outcome. She didn't expect... that she could really get him.Her happiness grew out increasingly of the bottom of her heart. She knew it was something she had stolen and she didn't dare let anyone know.But soon her secret joy was gone.Etan stopped and said, "I've already given what you wanted to you. You should abide by my rules."Jean wasn't allowed to interfere with his life.The news of their marriage shouldn't be publicized.Jean couldn't take advantage of the status of Etan's wife to make profits!He gave her the status, but took away all her rights.Jean took a deep breath and raised the marriage certificate in her hand, "I want it and my status. I don't care about anything else!"Looking at her indifferent look, he was annoyed."Don't get back at Anne."Eta
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
