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 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
Jean Mitchell pushed open the door. It was pitch-dark inside, but she could still vaguely make out the luxurious decoration.“Anne, Anne…” she called out the name of her best friend, Anne Garrison, but there was no response.‘Where is she? Didn’t she say she wanted to give me a wedding gift?’The room was too dark. As she was about to find the switch on the wall, a hand, the palm of which felt fiery hot, grabbed her wrist.“Who is it?” she screamed.That hand pulled her forward with force, causing her to tumble. The next moment she knew it, someone had pinned her to the floor.She panicked but could see nothing in the dark. All she could know was that it was a man.“Go away! Who are you? Let me go!” she screamed.“I can give you everything you want.”The suppressed voice of the man came. His skin felt so hot that as if it could burn.He was too strong for her. She was like a helpless kiddy.The room was completely dark. Like the mouth of a giant beast, he swallowed her event
Jean turned around and went into the kitchen after doing the recording. A minute later, she returned with a bucket of cold water and splashed it onto the man and woman, then threw away the bucket as the man and woman screamed in shock.“Have you two done yet?”The sudden appearance of Jean frightened the man and woman. They were soaked to the skin in bed.“Put your clothes on and get the hell out of there if you’re done!”Jean sat in the living room, her fingernails sinking into the skin of her palms as she stared at the bedroom door with an ashen face.‘Why is the world so cruel to me? I was thinking of coming to clean up our new house since no one was here. I can’t believe that I have caught him cheating on me with his pants down a day before our wedding!’Patrick and the woman—Selena Cain—came out of the bedroom hand in hand. Their hair was wet, water still dripping down their nervous faces.“Since you have found out, let me be honest with you. Yes, I have betrayed you. I a
The glass vase shattered with a crunch.The ruthless look on Jean’s face scared the hell out of Selena, who covered her mouth and dared not utter a cry.Patrick stumbled to the ground, hands on the head as with blood oozing out through the gaps of his fingers. He felt the world spun around him.Jean dropped the broken glass vase. “Why the hell did you do? Didn’t you know me in the first place? You took me for a ride and treated me like your ATM. Now you try to shift the blame? Patrick, did you underestimate me, or were you too confident of yourself?”Selena sobbed as she helped Patrick up. “You lunatic, Jean. Who gave you the right to use violence?”Jean’s eyes reddened with anger. “Shut up! Or else, you will be next!”It again scared Selena.Jean pointed at Patrick. “I don’t care now. You had better show up at the wedding tomorrow and don’t humiliate me. Or else, I will post the video on the Internet.”They thought that was all of it. But Jean was secretly planning to give the
Sunlight shone into the presidential suite of Grande Hotel.Etan Mann opened his eyes. He had a sharp-featured face and eyes that gave out no emotions. Every inch of his skin was impeccably perfect.A young girl was lying beside him with her eyes closed. The fragrance of her perfume was so overpowering that he frowned at it.He wondered why she now smelled so different from what he had remembered from last night.His memory told him it should be a pleasing, faint scent that lingered and got him addicted.The mess on the off-white velvet carpet reminded him of what happened last night.Etan got up, his tall stature making the vast suite look a bit cramped.He hesitated for a few seconds before he grabbed the sheet and put it on the woman.As he turned and left, the eyelashes of Anne, the woman who was lying on the carpet, flicked twice.After cleaning himself up, Etan picked up his mobile phone. “Bring in the clothes.”Elliot Mann, who had been waiting outside, flew in with th
The call got through and Anne quickly said, “I am sorry, Jean. I sent you the wrong hotel name. Did you go there last night?”“Where were you last night?” Jean’s voice was icy.“Grand and Grande are only one alphabet apart. I just found out I sent you the wrong hotel name. I slept in the hotel all night and woke up angry because you didn’t come. I didn’t know that I was the one being stupid.” Anne sounded as if she was upset with herself.Jean was not sure if she could believe Anne. But she must let no one find out what happened last night.She clenched her hands into fists, her fingernails digging into the skin of her palms as she tried to calm herself down. “I had something on last night, so I didn’t go.”Anne breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. It was my fault, Jean. Please don’t be angry with me.”“It’s all right.”“Wait for me. I will go to you now. It is your wedding this evening, and I am your bridesmaid—I don’t want to be late.”“Okay.”Anne put down the phone. An
Family and friends of Patrick, and the inner-circle friends of Jean had arrived. The wedding venue had a minimalistic yet romantic vibe.Jean was wearing a white wedding gown, walking unaccompanied on the long, red carpet in the aisle with a bouquet in her hands.She looked calmly and unfeelingly at the man at the other end of the aisle.This was the man she chose. But he was trash.“No one from the Mitchell family is present?” Someone from Patrick’s family whispered.“Who knows?”Patrick held out his hand reluctantly as Jean approached.Instead of holding his hand, she put her hand on his arm like a queen.She said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “See the cameras? Smile. Don’t give me a face that looks as if you are here for a funeral.”Patrick whispered back angrily, “Don’t go too far, Jean. I have done my part to marry you.”“Did I force you to cheat on me and sleep with Selena? Do as I say. I am not going to repeat it.” She put on a smile.“You…”His fo
