Chapter 371Jenny was so sleepy that she couldn’t help yawning. She picked up a pillow and held it in her arms. Nestling against the sofa, she asked, “By the way, I haven’t asked you why you left as soon as you arrived at the company this morning. Is something wrong?” Jean took a bite of bread and said, “My dad is missing.” “What?” Jean’s words immediately stopped Jenny from feeling drowsy and groggy.“He has been missing for a week. I looked for him for a whole day but failed to find him. Then I went to the police.”“Your dad is missing? What’s going on? Have you told Etan about this? You can ask him to help you.”“Yes. I just got back from him.”“Was…was he willing to help you?” Jean chewed the bread more slowly. After a while, she smiled, “For the sake of his child, he has to help me.”“That’s true. You are carrying his son now...”“I am not pregnant with a boy.”Jenny was dumbfounded. “What?”Jean lifted the paper cover on the box of instant noodles. “Actually, I’m not pre
Chapter 372That was a good chance! It should not be missed.From the day Jean decided to have a fake pregnancy, she planed to frame Anne someday.It was just not the right time yet.Jean nodded with a smile, "Of course, if we're going to act, someone has to cry... Since I don't want to cry, I must let her cry.""I really owe you in my previous life." Jenny said fiercely.Jean looked at her with an innocent look, "It's not my fault."Jenny reached out and poked him on the forehead."It's your fault. Don't think about it. Eat quickly."...Then, in a dark basement, where there was silence, there was a sudden sound of high heels hitting the ground.It was rhythmic, and it was getting closer.Snap, the light was turned on and the basement was lit up.Alana raised her hand and fanned it in front of her nose. The smell of blood and the pungent stench in the air made her nauseous several times.Covering her nose with her hand,she turned back and asked, "Where is your seal?"Fo
Chapter 373Even so, Robert remained silent, as if he could not hear what Alana was saying.At this moment, he seemed to be dead, except that he was still breathing.Alana had come to him several times. Though she forced Robert to tell her where his private seal was, she failed."Robert, to be honest, I have been with you all these years. I have had enough of your stupidity. You probably don't know that I especially arranged for our first meeting. I knew everything about you in advance, your likes and dislikes and your habit!"""You really liked every word that I said and enjoyed each time when we stayed together. You thought I was the woman God prepared for you, right? You are so stupid that I don't need to attract you with effort. From the moment I approached you, my goal was your money. Otherwise, do you think I like you, a waste of space?"No matter how Alana humiliated Robert, he remained silent.Now she didn’t pretend to be gentle, virtuous, pure and delicate. Her real cha
Chapter 374She was very tired yesterday, because her mind kept thinking about things and she tossed and turned until almost 5 o'clock before she fell asleep.At this time, she woke up with a headache, especially the sudden throbbing pain in her temples, as if someone had hit her.Summer cautiously said, "I just heard Manager Quinn say that Mr. Puckett is going to hold a shareholders' meeting today. He seems to discuss the dismissal of you, because you are the company’s vice president, but you often do not come to the company and don’t care about company affairs. And you are really incompetent. These are what I heard from Manager Quinn."Jean asked, "Fire me?"When Robert appointed her, it was clearly stated that she was free to work for the company.Moreover, except for Paragon Mall's project, there were no other projects that were handed over to her. Everyone knew that she, the vice president, went to the company first to adapt to the business. But now Brennan actually wan
Chapter 375After a while, Ben said slowly, "This company was founded by Mr. Mitchell and his late wife. Jean is the only heir. This company would belong to her sooner or later. You shouldn't fire her..."Gavin said, "Yes. This is her company. How could you fire her?"Brennan was prepared for such questions."I got it. But Jean was immature and unreliable. I have thought that she would work hard as the company's vice president. But as you can see, she doesn't want to run the company. She hasn't shown up for so many days and has no sense of responsibility. The employees are unhappy with her.""I won't disinherit her. Besides, I don't have that right. I just want to teach her a lesson. If she continues, the employees will be unsatisfied. Everyone knows that the quit rate reached particular high recently in our company!""I hope to comfort them through this incident. If she is ready to take over the company later, she can come back. I'm doing it for her own good. I think the decease
Chapter 376 They hated Brennan. He was a legal adviser and had no shares at all. Suddenly, he acted as the chairman of the board and managed the company, so no one was convinced.Although he was sophisticated, he didn’t pretend to be innocent. He said angrily, "That’s too much. You are too arrogant. In the past, your father said that you are self-willed and arrogant. I always said that you are young. However, I realize that you are being really...unreasonable. If you take charge of the Mitchell Group, it must go bankrupt."Jean sneered, "Mr. Puckett, don't blame me for speaking impolitely. The Mitchell Group belongs to my family. Even if I make it go bankrupt, it is also my family's business. It’s none of your business.""Your father asked me to take charge of the company temporarily, so I have the right to handle all affairs. You occupy a position and enjoy treatment that no one else has. What have you contributed to the company? You can’t convince people no matter in terms of mo
Chapter 377Jean was tugged at her arms by two security guards, which made her feel very uncomfortable. They were all replaced by Brennan. They only listened to him and didn't care whether Jean was the daughter of Robert Mitchell. At this time, what Summer said made the conference room quiet for the time being. Ben asked, "Is it the chairman of the board?" The eyes of all the shareholders were filled with anticipation. At this time, this situation could only be stopped by Robert. After temporarily replacing the chairman, Brennan ruled out dissidents in the company and promoted his own men, almost all of whom held key positions within the company.These directors dared not do anything rashly. In fact, Jean still had a glimmer of expectation in her heart. But when she glanced at Brennan and saw a contemptuous sneer in his eyes. Obviously, she knew that Brennan was very sure that the one who was coming now could be anyone, but it would never be Robert. At this moment, the
Chapter 378He was Earl's eldest son, so that was to say he is Sarah's stepson!She seemed to have seen him that day at Mann's Holiday Home.He and Sarah were sitting in an inconspicuous corner, and Jean only glanced at them.No wonder she thought he looked familiar.Jean remembered the unpleasant things that happened between her and Sarah and instinctively started to guard against him.She had never met Sarah's stepson before, so why did he suddenly visit her when she was at work?Brennan was embarrassed when he was ignored, but quickly adjusted his mindset."I'm sorry for what happened. It's just a little thing within our company." While he was saying, he gave a hard wink to the security guards and told them to let go of Jean.The guards let go of Jean. Brennan waved his hand and said, "Get out of here. You guys have no eyes. How dare you treat Miss Mitchell like that. Who gives you the nerve ?"Hearing these words, others sneered.Today they finally saw Brennan's ability
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
