Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2185

“Even if she succeeds in becoming the Mallory family's young mistress, you’re not her. Although both of you were born to the same mother, what’s the point of defending her now when your futures are going to be worlds apart? Jean, wake up! Her good life has nothing to do with you. So, you should drag her down instead of seeing her marry rich. She wants to get rid of you to live a luxurious life, so you can’t let her wish come true!” Marie continued to provoke him after seeing him remain silent.

Jean frowned and looked at Marie.

She had a point.

Judging from how Nina currently acted, he would not have anything to do with her after she became rich.

She could not be counted on in the future.

At the end of the day, he could only count on himself. If he had to watch Nina live a good life while he lived a miserable one, he might as well do as Marie said and drag her down.

The change in Jean’s expression caught Marie’s eyes. She said, “Am I right? The press pays generously. Aren’t you short of money recently? Whatever dirt you have on Nina may benefit you greatly if you cooperate with the reporters.”

Jean lifted his arm and immediately cupped her chin.

“Why are you doing this to Nina?” Jean questioned as they had agreed to take advantage of Nina by being close to her, but now, Marie wished to take advantage of Nina.

“I… I’m just angry. I can’t stand seeing her treat you like this.” Marie tilted her head and tried to break free from his hand, but it was to no avail as he was tightly grabbing her jaw.

She never intended to confront Nina. She just wanted to rely on this fool, Jean, to take advantage of her.

However, Nina had humiliated her, which planted the idea of revenge in her mind.

Plus, she got it all figured out.

Jean had nothing but this house and the insurance he would get after Anna’s death.

Thus, she did not actually hope for Nina to be nice to Jean. In fact, the reason why she was still with Jean was that she needed a place to stay.

Not to mention, she wanted to obtain this house too.

Although it was an old house, it was still worth a lot of money in a city like A City where the land value was extremely high.

Marie was waiting for the chance to get hold of this house.

Jean obviously did not believe the nonsense she was spouting. If it were not for the fact that he had no money or women right now, he would not be with a woman like Marie. She was like a poisonous snake, watching his every move.

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. If you dare talk nonsense to the reporters again, I’ll pull your tongue out,” he threatened her viciously. It was not because he wanted to defend Nina, but it was for his own good.

“You… Let go of me first.” Marie furrowed her brows as his grip was too strong.

Jean grunted and let go.

Marie immediately took a few steps back to avoid getting choked again.

“You’re destined to get nothing, but you’re still defending her? Are you stupid?” She stared at him in bewilderment.

Jean sneered as she did not know that he was defending himself.

“If I ever find out that you’re causing trouble behind my back again, you’ll be sleeping on the streets,” Jean warned her. She had no place to live, so her biggest fear right now was getting kicked out.

Even if she had a lot of money from selling information to the reporters, she would soon run out of funds if she had to live on the streets without a job.
