Chapter 356...Anne arrived at the Mann Tower and looked up at it.As the financial center of Cornview, it seemed to be a mountain that no one could conquer, which symbolized supreme wealth, status and power.If Jean hadn't made a scene, she would have been the mistress of the Mann Corporation now.Anne walked into the building with resentment.When Elliot received the call from the front desk, he sat for five minutes before he stood up."Mr. Mann, Ms. Anne is coming." Elliot knocked and pushed open the door of Etan's office.After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Let her in.""Yes."Before Elliot left, he mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Mann, before you compensate her later, consider your unborn children..."Etan said, "Piss off!"After more than ten minutes, Elliot brought Anne to Etan's office."I'm sorry, Etan. I hope I'm not disturbing you." Anne had specially dressed herself before leaving home. She covered up the dark circles under her eyes and drew delicate
Chapter 357Etan's grandma changed her usual tough attitude today. On the contrary, she made Etan feel that if he objected again, it would be too unreasonable. He and his grandma depended on each other and went through the most difficult years, and this relationship was always there. Etan's grandma showed a weak smile on her face, "I'm old. I just want to have someone to talk with me. Anne is a nice girl and I like her. We get along well with each other. Although it's a pity that she can't be my granddaughter-in-law, it's okay that I can treat her as my granddaughter." Hearing that, Etan nodded. "I want to hold a part for her in Swanlake Hotel after a few days. I owe her so much, and I want to make it up to her. What do you think?" "It's up to you. I will order the staff in Swanlake Hotel to be at your disposal." Actually, even if she didn't hold the party, the gentry in Cornview would soon know!"That's good. Anne has told me to keep a low profile, and she thinks there i
Chapter 358Anne put her phone down and showed a smile on her face. “Mom, you’re right. Etan agreed. His grandma said that in a few days, she will hold a special party for me at the Swanlake Hotel. So everyone in Cornview will know that I will become the granddaughter of Mrs.Mann."A smug smile appeared on Alana's face, "Look, our situation is slowly getting better.""Then what should we do next?""The next step is to let Jean die."Crack. Alana crushed the walnuts in her hand with force.Nowadays, every day of waiting made her feel miserable."Mom, you have a plan?""Of course I have my plan, but you don't need to know."Anne nodded her head and didn't ask more questions.However, she knew that her mom had asked her to talk to Etan for a promise because her mom was worried that if their plan failed, and Jean would take revenge on them.At that time, Etan would be their fallback.With Etan's promise, Alana could attack Jean with impunity."Mom, Etan’s grandma said that what
Chapter 359"When Etan was fourteen years old, I almost met him. The old woman sent someone to catch me and threatened that if I come to Etan again, she would change the Mann family's heir. Do you think I would dare to come here again?"Jean was shocked by her words.Was the old lady of the Mann family so ruthless?Sarah wiped tears from her face, "Ms. Mitchell, you're a mother now. You understand me, right? Every day since I left Etan, I have looked forward to seeing him. If it wasn't for him, I would not be alive.""Madam, I feel sorry for you, but you don't know what's going on between Etan and me, and if I talk to him about it, he'll hate you even more!"Sarah grabbed Jean's hand, "But I don't have anyone else to help me. Whatever happens, will you try for me?""Sorry, I can't help you." Jean slowly withdrew her hand.She did want to help Sarah, but Etan hated Sarah so much that her words didn't make any difference. She knew it wouldn't end well, so why try?"Ms. Mitchell,
Chapter 360"Okay, I see. I will go to the company as soon as possible."After hanging up phone, she immediately called Robert, but the phone was turned off and no one answered.She dialed the number again, and the phone was still turned off.Jean had a bad hunch, and this kind of feeling became stronger and stronger.She worried about him, so she immediately got up and drove back to home.As soon as Jean walked in, she saw Alana sitting on the sofa who was talking on the phone. She took a glance at Jean, and then she continued to discuss the latest Hermès bag with someone.Jean rushed upstairs and opened the door of Robert's bedroom. There was no one in the room, the bed was neatly folded, and the furnishings in the room...were all changed.What’s more, there was a thin layer of ash on the table beside the bed, and it was obvious that no one lived here for at least one week.There was an unpleasant smell in the air.Jean clenched her hands and ran downstairs, asking Alana, "
Chapter 361Morgan returned to the police station after spending six hours at the crime scene. He was full of fatigue.This afternoon, several robbers broke into a bank in his jurisdiction and took several hostages. Morgan stayed at the scene until the sniper killed the robbers. He had just gotten out of the car when he saw Jean coming out of the police station."Miss Mitchell."Jean saw Morgan and froze for a moment, remembering who he was."Oh, it's you."Both of them were a little surprised to see each other."You came to the police station. Is there something wrong?" Jean nodded, "My dad is missing.""Your father is Robert, right?" Morgan immediately thought of Robert whom he saw at Anne and Etan's engagement party."Yeah.""When did he disappear?""After Anne and Etan's engagement party. I asked many people these days and they all said that they hadn't seen him after the party. And he hadn't been to the company."Morgan was a police officer and was sensitive to th
Chapter 362Jean was shocked by his words. "What did you say?""Miss Mitchell, your father has taken drugs!" Morgan repeated seriously."How... how is this possible? My father is indeed a scumbag. He doesn’t have good virtue, but he won't do anything to damage his health. He can’t take drugs...""Miss Mitchell, I'm a professional in this field. I can tell at a glance whether a person has taken drugs or not. The last time I saw your father, I was sure that he has taken drugs, and he is addicted to drugs."Jean opened her mouth and could not calm down for a long time."My father has taken drugs. This...""How did he touch drugs?""According to what you said, it’s not too long for your father to take drugs, but taking drugs has already caused serious damage to his body. It can be seen that he has taken a lot of drugs."Jean covered her face and need to calm down.She thought he was missing, but she didn't expect such terrible news."Did my father's disappearance have anything t
Chapter 363But...She couldn't get through.Jean tried calling Etan several times, but she still couldn’t get through. She sneered, and she thought that Etan had already blocked her.She rubbed her forehead, slumping over the steering wheel weakly.She originally thought if Anne’s engagement was ruined, the subsequent counterattack would be smoother. However, she didn't expect such a thing to happen.For Jean, the first person who she suspected was not anyone else but Alana.All things were too coincidental.Strictly speaking, Alana had instigated Robert to take drugs when she was kidnapped.However, she probably didn't expect Jean to come back later.If Jean died outside and Robert took drugs again,it wouldn't take long before Alana took charge of the Mitchell family.This old woman was really vicious.Jean sat up slowly. She was never a person who could easily give in.She believed that she could make Alana be punished accordingly.Jean picked up the phone again and ca
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
