Jean carried out the first half of the plan, while Jenny the second half. … Jason was in a black mood today. He was not in the mood to play poker and had lost nearly a million dollars in just a few rounds. When he received a message notification on his phone, he lazily glanced at it, then picked it up immediately when he saw it was from Jean. His face crashed when he saw the messages. Bouncing up from his seat, he called Jean. But a prompt voice told him that her phone was switched off. He turned around to leave without saying a word. Etan stopped him. “Where are you going?” “Bro, I don’t have time to explain to you. Something has happened to her. I’ve got to go.” Etan knew who he meant. “Do you even know where she lives?” “I..” Jason drew a blank. He was desperate to find Jean, but he forgot he did not even know where she lived. Etan sighed and dialed a number. “Check Jean’s address for me.” He knew Jean’s address and had even gone there a few times, but he could n
Jenny was thinking of pretending to cry in front of the police before she came. But when she arrived, she could no longer pretend. Tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably. She knew this was a part of Jean’s plan, where she was to commit suicide. But Jean did this because she was at her wits’ end and in desperation. There was no way out for her. Every word she wrote on the suicide note was true, because she was unsure if she could still wake up tomorrow. When others were cruel to her, she was even more cruel to herself. She had burned her bridges, using her own life to pull this ruse off. Everyone who heard Jenny’s cry could feel the sadness in her. The medic had stopped the bleeding, and Jean was carried away on a stretcher. A few police officers stayed at the scene. They also took away Jean’s suicide note. When Etan and Jason arrived, they saw the medics carrying Jean out. Her eyes were closed, her face calm, as if she was just asleep. The only clue that told them she
“Even if I am of no help, I will still want to go.” After Jason left, Etan turned his head and glanced at Jean’s house. There were all kinds of insults written on the door and wall. She had faced and endured all these in such an environment. Etan had always been unaffectionate, but it still hurt him to see Jean covered in blood. He walked into Jean’s house and saw the bed, a large part of the bedsheet dyed red by her blood. The police were still there investigating and taking photos. “My counterpart in the city police department is in charge of Jean’s case, the puzzle of which is taking shape. The previous photos and videos are not doctored, but they are not the same person. It is someone looking highly similar to Jean. That person must have performed plastic surgery to impersonate Jean,” one police officer said. “If this is the case, then she has really been framed big time.” “No human could withstand such a devastating online violence, let alone the victim is only a girl.
It was 2:00 am when the door of the emergency room swung open. Jason rushed forward, ahead of Jenny. “Doctor, how… is she?” Jason’s voice was trembling. The doctor took off his mask and said, “The patient survived. She would not have made it had she been brought in a minute late.” Jenny and Jason heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. “But the patient has lost too much blood and is very weak. She needs a good rest,” the doctor said. Jason nodded vigorously. Following that, the CEO of the hospital said, “Mr. Moss, we have arranged for Miss Mitchell the best ward, the best doctors, and the best nurses.” Jason patted him on the shoulder. “As long as you take good care of her, tell me how big the expansion of the hospital you want and how much medical equipment you need, you will have it.” The hospital COE thanked him repeatedly. Jean made it, and Jenny breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, her vision went dark, and she nearly fainted. She had to lean against the wal
“I have made a copy.” The manager immediately handed over a tablet. The video started and Etan saw Jean was surrounded and fighting her way out, getting away in a witty escape. It turned out that the original version of the maliciously edited video looked like this. An unprecedented fury rose within him. He had never felt so much urge to kill before. “Elliot, release the video. I don’t want anyone else having control of public opinion.” “Got it.” Elliot nodded. Etan meant not only to publish the video but also to dictate public opinion. Etan glanced at the video with grim eyes. “Find out all the illegal things, including sexual assault, tax evasion, and smuggling, of those guys in the video have done and handed the evidence to the police.” “What if there is none?” Elliot cautiously asked. Etan shot him a sideways look. “When I say there is, there must be.” “Understood.” Elliot had also figured out why Etan had been so unapproachable since yesterday. The reason w
Someone started to speak up. ‘How did Jean feel when she committed suicide? How disappointed was she with this world?’ ‘I feel ashamed of myself when I look back at my previous tweets. Am I the devil? How could I write such vicious words?’ ‘Jean is right; every one of us is a murderer... I want to say sorry, but I feel I am not worthy.’ Alana and Anne were only happy for a short time, and then watched public opinion shift and head in a direction that was out of their control. The police have started investigating the person who posted the maliciously edited video. What worried them even more was that even if more money was pumped in and more cyber troopers were deployed, the situation was still out of their control. Alana felt in command previously, but now things were out of her depth. She was making a phone call in the room, sounding extremely irascible. “Find out who is helping that woman!” The person on the other end of the phone sighed. “Calm down. You have als
“How could you still have the nerve to say it. If it weren’t for you, I would have brought her home a long time ago and she would not have been forced to…” Robert’s chest felt tight with anger, his eyes reddening. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was Alana’s fault. Had he brought Jean home earlier, she would not have gone to Club Elegance. Alana secretly sneered. Robert never blamed himself but others. Robert’s failure as a father was largely to blame for her daughter's misery. “You... Well, blame it on me. If it weren’t for me, she would not have run away, and this thing would not have happened to her. It was all my fault.” Tears started to flow out of Alana’s eyes. Robert would have coaxed her had she cried last time. But today, he felt annoyed when he saw her crying. After all, tears were worth nothing compared to death. Alana cried alone for a long time, but Robert still did not coax her. She was really upset with him. At this time, Robert’s secre
“Mr. Mann, her eyelashes and hands are moving! You must have connected with her emotionally. She could hear you,” Tommy exclaimed. “Jean! Open your eyes. Look at me!” Robert cried out. Jean finally opened her eyes after a few seconds. “She is awake, Mr. Mann. Your daughter is awake.” Tommy was in joy. “She must have heard your call and woke up. I will alert the doctor now.” “Jean, my dear daughter, you are finally awake… Dad has come to see you.” Robert was tearful, his voice trembling. Jean stared at him blankly. “Dad… Dad…” Her voice was so hoarse that her words were almost unintelligible. “Yes, it’s me… it’s Dad…” “Dad... It... it hurts.” She seemed to have exhausted all her strength to say those few words. It ached for Robert to see her condition, tears flowing from his eyes. She was just like when she was a child, looking for him to comfort her after she fell. She had not fully awakened yet, as she had not realized what she had gone through. She was just l
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
