Chapter 232 - Grumpy?
Vanessa could have killed Jean very easily when she is small but it isn't what she wanted. She just needed Jean to be submissive to her and listen to whatever she orders.
When Jean will find where the doc.u.ments are she wanted Jean to hand them to her. So she could transfer them under name of Cassandra who is also the heir of her parents.
She just wanted Jean to be afraid of her..
Meanwhile Vanessa's brother started searching for the child….he loved his little sister more than anything in his life. But she killed herself because of Thomas. Though he wanted to kill Thomas he is yet to find the child and torture her and kill Thomas from inside.
Though he tried so hard to find where this girl is he couldn't find even a single hint of her existence, she is being protected by someone far more powerful than them.
Vanessa tried to groom her daughter into genius and strong socialite so elders of her family would at least allow her daughter to enter the family. But in turn Cassandra became delusional and stupid brat for trying to act and behave like Jean. This is one of the many reasons why Vanessa tortured Jean and degraded her status, so her daughter would no longer feel envious of Jean.
Vanessa's brother started to feel annoyed by Cassandra's growth. Rather than climbing up she started to fool herself, after Vanessa pleaded him he asked her to fix marriage alliance between Scott and Cassandra but she miserably failed in it.
As a last chance he asked Vanessa to make Cassandra as the next CEO and heiress of Grey empire, in which she is again failing very badly just because of Jean and her friends. She never thought Jean to be this capable...
Before Vanessa could concentrate on defaming her Jean decided to throw her out of the company. When company will stabilise and clean up the mess Vanessa started, Jean will get rid of her completely out of their lives...
Back to present...
"But how will you manage this alone Jean. if your plan fails you will become penniless" one of her uncle worried.
"I am rich enough to even save the company from bankruptcy. But using my own money will reveal my identity" Jean smiled proudly.
When she is small these people use to motivate her and challenge her to outshine her own father. Now she is, sitting in front of them with worth of four times higher than Grey corporations. Of course she felt so proud to tell it by herself.
"What do you mean by it, Jean. Don't say me you are talking about your fiancées wealth" one of them mused, this is not how Jonathan would raise his daughter…
"Nope uncle, I am talking about myself. My dad and mother never raised me to depend on someone" she explained.
Evan smiled and sighed. "Madam, here are the doc.u.ments" he ran into the room and gave her.
"You are…" grandpa Tin tried to comprehend what is happening, though he vaguely guessed he couldn't believe she is the one.
"I am the ghost CEO of INA others talk about" Jean beamed happily with her twinkling eyes.
Scott and Evan chuckled but let her enjoy this prideful moment. They couldn't help but smirk thinking about the reactions Adam and his family will go through it they find out who Jean is…
After she confessed they are stunned to the core and are clearly bewildered to the extent they couldn't even comprehend what they have to reply to this sudden surprising revelation. By the way she speaks and elude the elegancy they could figure it out that she is not an ordinary woman.
But being CEO behind the closed doors and also working in her father's company as normal employee is really a exhausting task…
Grandpa Tin looked at Jean and Scott, he suddenly remembered Scott's words when he described his mysterious fiancée. Isn't she supposed to be a renowned doctor in abroad.
Jean chuckled while she understood what her grandpa Tin is thinking.
"While I studied in business school I have also simultaneously studied in my medical school. I am a neurologist as well as cardiologist and I am still studying" Jean giggled like a little child at this dumb folded expression.
She never showed this playful side of her to anyone except the people she really loves a lot. Evan who is totally foreign to this new version of his boss stared at her incredulously making Scott instantly feel jealous.
To worsen his mood even more, Jean who is in Scott's arms stuck her tongue out and huffed her mouth, teasing Evan who started to laugh at Jean. But after feeling the dangerous gaze on him he shut his mouth and averted his eyes.
"Hmm.. No need to be this cheeky" Scott whispered in her ears and gently blew the air making her shiver. He is about to kiss her...
Jean glared at his content face and nudged him. Her grandpa and uncles looked at her with happy tears welling up in their eyes. They are indeed lovely couple like her grandparents and also very understanding couple like her parents.
Grandpa Tin stood up and hugged Jean closer to his heart and patted her head lovingly. "Proud of you child. You are really your parent's daughter. You have your mother's elegance and sharp tongue but your fathers calculative and business mind. I am so happy for you, dear grumpy" he smiled and ruffled her hair.
Jean pouted cutely as her pet name got revealed, now Scott will tease her till she succ.u.mb to his wishes, these are some of the perks of being with pervert.. getting teased in a way you like and desired..
For the first time ever Scott didn't eat vinegar by seeing his woman hugging other person emotionally. His mind is now concentrated on the last part 'grumpy' . He chuckled after figuring it as her nick name.
"Grumpy?" Scott asked her softly yet teasingly.
"Mr. Summers grumpy is the name her father use to call her when she use to act petty and spoiled" one of her uncle chuckled. It is really tough to believe he is seeing the same person who use to be so sensitive and childish act so matured and strong.
After everyone settled down they started to scheme the downfall of Vanessa…
