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 379Although she was very suspicious of Murphy's purpose in her mind.But right now, this was the only way for her.Brennan gritted his teeth as he lost face in front of everyone.Even so, he quickly calmed down and thought of a way to respond.He said with a smile, "Jean is really lucky. No matter where you are, there is always a great man to help you. I just said that if you can immediately attract a billion-dollar project, you don't have to leave the company. I didn't expect that Mr. Wendell would come right away. I envy you so much but I am happy for you."Brennan had set a trap for Jean in his words.As if he was happy for Jean, he was telling Murphy that if he wanted to help Jean, then he would have to invest one billion dollars.One billion dollars. Could he easily invest that much money?He thought that Murphy would be embarrassed and then blamed Jean. Murphy frowned and asked, "One billion dollars?"Brennan was pleased in his heart. Well, he knew that thi
Chapter 380"Mr. Wendell, what would you like to drink?"Murphy replied, "A glass of warm water, please."Summer immediately went to prepare it.Soon she returned with two glasses of warm water, placed them in front of Jean and Murphy, and quickly left."Mr. Wendell, I'm grateful to you for helping me just now. But I don't understand why you would specifically like to cooperate with our company. Our company isn't big and famous in Cornview. You can choose a better partner.""Ms. Mitchell, you can call me Murphy." Murphy thought in his heart, 'Sure enought, Jean has always been very cautious about everything!'"Okay...""Can I call you Jean?""Of course.""Then I will answer your question. Do you remember that we have actually met?"Jean smiled, "Of course. It was in a mess, but your appearance was just too impressive."Murphy couldn't help but be happy, "I'm glad that you praise me! You also impressed me that night.""Thank you." Jean didn't see his mockery and contempt. H
Chapter 381He admired his work, and he had an unspeakable sense of pleasure.No matter where Jean was, and no matter what happened in the future, this tattoo would always exist until the day of her death.Jean's heart was filled with displeasure, and she smiled lightly and said, "You're flattering me.""Goodbye, looking forward to seeing you next time.""Goodbye."After the man went away, the smile on Jean's face disappeared.This young foreigner expressed his favor to her straightforwardly. He was Sarah's stepson. It was impossible for him not to know that she had already been married.Even if foreigners were more open minded, this kind of favor was still inexplicable.How long had they known each other?Even if what he said was true and he admired her, why did he come to invest so much money for a married woman. Was he the god who specialized in charity?Jean had a very good conversation with the young man, and she seemed to be looking forward to cooperating with him.Ho
Chapter 382But his words were extremely ironic and humiliating.Jean nodded seriously and applauded gently."You are right. It seems that you have a deep understanding of the fact that one cannot rely on a man. As for my dad, he is really good, except that his eyes are blind so he cannot distinguish whether people are good or not. Otherwise, you could not rely on him to climb to today’s position."Jean's words were a slap on Brennan’s face. He said that she relied on a man but Brennan was a person who completely relied on a man.The smile on Brennan's face stiffened for several seconds."Jean, I know that you are discontented with your father's decision but you should understand your ability. Your father knows that the company will collapse sooner or later if you take it over so he will ask me to manage it. I hope you can grow up quickly and stop being willful. Otherwise, I cannot just hand over the company to you."Jean smiled."There is a dog who grows up eating my family's
Chapter 383"I’ve heard more than one person said that in the past month, the company has lost a lot of customers and the originally booked orders have also been lost. This situation is not bad if there is no loss. But the profit calculated at the end of this month turned out to be 5 points more than that of the previous month. Do you think it's possible?""It is better to let your dad come out to deal with the problem and let him know what a person Brennan is! Otherwise, Mitchell Corporation will be in a trouble in the future."Mr. Stanley said a lot.Jean saw his worries about the company in his eyes.After thinking for a while, she said, "Uncle Stanley, to tell the truth, my dad has been missing for a week."The cup that Mr. Stanley had just picked up fell, as he was shocked. "What?""I didn't dare to tell others about this news. I’m afraid that it would cause stock turbulence. I hope you can help me keep a secret."After Mr. Stanley was shocked, he understood Brennan’s beha
Chapter 384Jean clenched her hand tightly.How stupid Robert was! He kept two venomous snakes, Brennan and Alana, by his side, who killed his wife. Perhaps even he himself would have been killed by them at this time!Mr. Stanley saw Jean’s face suddenly turn pale, so he asked, "What's the matter?""I suspect..."Jean paused and said, "Alana and Brennan have been in collusion for a long time. My dad, maybe something bad has happened to him."She really did not dare to believe others easily again so she did not tell Mr. Stanley that she had discovered the adultery between Alana and Brennan.Mr. Stanley was someone who had experienced and solved many troubles. He advised, "Jean, you’d better prepare for the worst situation. As for your dad...""You may think that he is dead. Don't waste too much time on him. The most important thing at the moment is to quickly get the company back from Brennan. I guess the reason why he didn't dare to drive you out of the company today is that he
Chapter 385Morgan saw Jean come in and then he stood up. "Please sit down.”She sat down."I... am I disturbing you now?"‘It is not Morgan’s working time. He may come over for dinner.’Morgan smiled and stretched out his hand to pour a glass of juice for Jean. "No, for us policemen, there is no so-called rest time. I am often woken up by our department calls in the middle of the night and I am required to go to the scene."Jean hurriedly said, "Thank you... Policemen’ s work is really hard.""Since I chose to be a policeman, there is no reason to complain. By the way... Are there some dishes that you dislike? The menu here is different every day. There are only 8 dishes one can order today. I don't know what you like. So, I just ordered the eight dishes.""Thank you. I'm not a picky eater.""That's good."After the dishes were ready, Morgan advised, "You may tell me the clues while eating. The restaurant is very hidden and safe. You don’t need to worry that others hear us t
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
