"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.
