Heart Hunting
Chapter 31
Ethel's scandal has provoked much discussion, while Jean is in peace. The media doesn't dig her out. Probably it's because everyone's attention is on Ethel's face, while ignoring the perpetrator.
"Well, just scratches.” Jean sits in front of the dresser with a mirror in her hand. She looks carefully at the injury on her face.
Ethel was so badly hurt, but Jean was only pulled out some hair, and her face was scratched a little by Ethel, which won't take long to recover.
At this time, a phone ringing breaks the quiet atmosphere. Jean is applying medicine to the scratches, and tries to ignore the "unexpected guest". But when she finished, the phone is still ringing. She looks at the number in the screen, then her expression changes.
When the phone connected, before she says anything, the person on the other end of the phone says, "Jean, about my father's legacy, I'll give you a villa and 10 million cash, let's get it settled!”
"You want to get rid of me with only 10 million and a villa? Ben Butler, do you think you are doing charity for a beggar?” Jean is not a fool. The inheritance should be half divided. And she can get more than 10 million and a villa.
"What have you contributed to our family? 10 million is already for my father's sake. Don't be so insatiable!”
"Well, then let's just meet in court.”
"Jean, I'm warning you, don't take the hard way. If you go to court, you won't get even a cent!” Ben says the harsh words to threaten Jean.
But Jean is not stupid. If things will go on like what Ben has said, he would never be so kind to call her. What's more, Poppy has analyzed the situation and all kinds of possibilities for her, so she doesn't believe his lies at all.
