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 vi and 10 million cash, let''s get it settled!”


    "You want to get rid of me with only 10 million and a vi? 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 vi.


    "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.


    When ites to aggressiveness, Jean will never lose to Ben. She replies, "OK, then let''s see who


    exactly won''t get a cent.”


    Jean doesn''t want to waste time with him. She hangs up the phone, then picks up a pack of cigarettes


    and goes to the balcony. After lighting up the cigarette, she puts the cigarette in her mouth and smoke


    it.


    In the dead of night, she rxes herself, and her mouth has been hooked with a faint smile.


    Ben''s call causes her to think deeply, and finally she decides to give Poppy a call.


    “Lawyer Poppy.”


    Poppy is working overtime on Jean''s case. She didn''t expect Jean to call her at this time.


    “What’s the matter, Miss Barnes?”


    "Ben Butler called me just now, he wants to make a settlement. He said he would give me a vi and


    10 millions cash.”


    Poppy leans back and chuckles, "so did you refuse?”


    “Do I look like a loser? I refused for sure.” She stands with her arms akimbo, even if she is just


    speaking to the phone, she looks very arrogant.


    She would really never gets herself in an unfavorable situation.


    This reminds Poppy of the thing between Jean and Ethel. A few secondster, she returns to the


    theme, "the reason he called you is that they''re not sure of winning the case, so they thought of


    reconciliation. How about...”


    She pauses. "I can contact with them. We make a negotiation with them face to face. Even if we want


    to make a settlement, we must distribute the legacy legacy ording to thew.”


    She has talked to Arno about it. And the result was that they also hope to make a reconciliation.


    Unexpectedly, Ben also has this intention, which proves that they are not sure about the case. That''s


    why they would take the initiative to make a settlement.


    Jean has fully believed in Poppy, "OK, but I will never give in. I have to get what I deserve.”


    "Don''t worry, I will safeguard your legitimate interests. I will contact them first and make an


    appointment. Just wait for my call.”


    "OK, up to you.”


    "By the way..." After talking about business, Poppy asks, "did you get hurt?”


    Jean doesn''t got it for a moment. She doesn''t understand what she''s talking about.


    Poppy says it clear, "I have seen the news. I think no one dares to hit Ethel without mercy, except you.”


    When Poppy mentions the name, Jean understands immediately. Sheughs, "so you mean this. That


    woman came to my house, pointed at my nose and scolded me for robbing Kenny from her. What is


    she? She''s just a little girl in my eyes. And I''ve investigated about it. Kenny has never admitted her


    identity as a girlfriend. She made up all this and acted for herself!”


    Jean puts out the cigarette butts and continues disdainfully, "don''t say that I bullied the young. She


    started first, and then I hit her back. Who knows that she''s so vulnerable? Her nose was all crooked


    after being punches. I took a look at her carefully, and found out that it her nose was installed with


    prosthesis, and her face got swollen...”


    "Miss Barnes, I have to remind you that the Greens will retaliate against you. You have to be careful.”


    "What are you afraid of? I have money. If she has the ability, Ethel will buy murderers to kill me!” Jean,


    who has more than millions assets, doesn''t take up Poppy''s reminder.


    A person with capital has the strength to speak!


    Poppy stops the conversation properly, "I''ll contact you as soon as I make an appointment with them. If


    Ben calls to harass you these days, just call the police directly.”

    "OK, I''ll wait for your good news.”


    After hanging up, Poppy is thinking about what Jean had just described. She regrets that she didn''t


    install a camera at Jean''s house to record the video of Ethel got punched.
