Chapter 5002
Slap!
The leading inspector slapped Elodie Jean in the face.
"What do you think you're saying?!
"You're the one stealing all of these priceless artifacts!
"And now you're accusing someone of tricking you?!
"Nobody can do that if you just didn't steal in the first place!
"Are you doubting the police ?! Or do you think that we're idiots?!"
Under the crowd's shocked gaze, Elodie was taken away...

Mandy Zimmer made some tea for Harvey York before showing an odd expression.
"Why did you help me?
"Didn't you say I could start again after leaving the ninth branch?
"You'll only deepen my relationship with the Jean family at this point..."
Harvey blew on his cup of tea.
"I do want you to leave, but not when you're discredited.
"I want you to make the Jean family regret when you do.
"Besides, we're not remarried yet...
"But it'll be easier for you to care for me with all that money, right?" said Harvey jokingly.
Mandy had suffered quite a bit because of Blaine John's situation.
Harvey did not want to see Mandy chased out of the ninth branch with a miserable look for the time being.
He also had another thought. He wanted Mandy to become the head of the Jean family.
That way, it would not matter whether she left the family if the time came.
Mandy froze when she stared at Harvey.
"Let's go get our marriage certificate then."
Harvey showed a gentle smile before he patted Mandy's hand.
"I don't want you to think that I did this for you to repay the favor.

"Right now, you need to expand your new product line and deal with the higher-ups and workers as soon as
possible.
"You will need people you trust in crucial positions.

"If the Jean family plans to throw the ninth branch to another place again, you can start over with these.
"People should learn from the past to fully grow....
"Maybe one day, the family wouldn't even dare think of leaving you."
"Are you sure about that?
Mandy felt speechless.
"I do hope that's the case, but I simply cannot even do that!
"The Zimmer family are just outsiders to the Jean family!
"They won't be pleased with me in charge.
"Besides, I heard the direct descendant has a truly ancient lineage!
"The people from the lineage would never appear in public, but their words are enough to control the entire
family...
"Those people are the true leaders."
