Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 228 Delete The Video

"Wait. What's going on between you and Jesse Tang? You seem to be afraid of her." Jean asked with

curiosity, looking at Eva.

"I seem to be afraid of her?" Simply repeating the question under her breath, Eva gazed ahead with a

complicated look on her face as if in deep thought. After a while, she let out a long sigh, "What if I told

you, that the reason I broke up with Zed was because of her, would you believe me?"

"What?" Jean's eyes widened and quickly looked at Eva. Did she hear it right?

"I know that it's hard for you to believe it. That's why I want to warn you as early as possible. Jesse

Tang, she is very cunning and sly. She found my weakness and used it against me in the end. Morally

upright as you, you are no match for her by all means." said Eva, with a sigh.

Still doubtful, Jean felt it was a little too much for her to process this information. She studied Eva with

a complicated look, as if trying to read something more in her expression.

After all, this Eva now in front of her, was the complete opposite of someone who used to take

advantage of her, and verbally insulted her in various ways. She had even blackmailed her, threatening

to show the video to Zed.

Now she suddenly turned around to help her against Jesse? The zealous Eva and the woman in front

of her now seemed like two completely different persons.

Jean just couldn't help but be doubtful.

She was clear how much Eva cared about Zed, seeing what she had been doing all this time.

Jean could not convince herself that Eva would now help her defeat Jesse at her own game.

Jean seemed at a loss with her mixed feelings and remained silent. With Jean not saying anything for

quite a while, Eva knew that this embattled wife was not sure of her intentions.

With a heavy sigh, Eva turned to face Jean, "I know it's hard for you to believe what I'm saying now, NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

because of what I've done to you before. So..." Eva brought out her phone and continued, "Jean, to

prove my sincerity, I'm going to delete this video in front of you right now."

Eva scrolled through the files to find the video in her phone.

Jean wanted to sound out her real intention, so she replied, "No, I believe you."

Eva paused briefly, quite astonished that Jean would no longer be interested in the video. "Honestly,

there is no use for me to keep this video now. After all, you've kept your word to invite me here."

Said Eva, with a slight swipe of her finger, she pressed the delete button.

"Done. Do you believe me now?" Eva then showed the phone screen to Jean.

After a quick glance at the phone, Jean couldn't help putting on a smile of relief.

Now that the video had been deleted she felt better. There was one less thing to worry about.

"Okay, you can now go back to the party. Remember, try playing it cool no matter what you may

encounter. Leave no chance for anyone, not even me and especially not for that wolf in sheep's

clothing, Jesse." Eva held Jean by the shoulders to make sure she was paying attention.

Although bewildered and still with mixed feelings in her heart, Jean just nodded along.

Eva proved herself by deleting the video, which she had used to blackmail her.

"Okay... Okaaay, I won't, " answered Jean. Finally, she made up her mind on what she would do next.

Indeed, she no longer wanted to be that person who ran away and escaped from reality every time a

stressful situation came along.

She should explain it clearly since Zed misunderstood a lot about her now.

Likewise, he should clarify what the relationship between him and Jesse was.

At least, he had to explain to her what the hell that show earlier tonight, was about.

"Come on." With a smile on her face, Eva moved closer to Jean and tried to lift her spirits, with her

hand patting on her back. She looked like a coach to a boxer before a fight.

After a deep breath, Jean stood up tall, nodded towards Eva, then walked towards the crowd with a

firm and confident pace.

Not very far from her, the two in the center still stood side by side, surrounded by the hooting crowd.

Nothing seemed to have changed for these people.

After the game of intimate feeding, Zed stood aside sulkily with a glass of wine in his hand. With his

original purpose a failure, he scanned the crowd in front of him unhappily.

"What's up?" asked Zack, who stepped out from the crowd towards Zed, "You've gone too far just now.

Aren't you worried that Jean would get mad and jealous if she sees this?"

"She……" said Zed in a dismal tone, with his face gloomy, "If she really cared, she would have been

here by now."

Jesse's face paled. She was only two persons away from Zed but she heard every word he said. He

had his back towards her so he did not know that Jesse was nearby.

It turned out that Zed was game to the act of intimate feeding in front of everyone, only because he

wanted to make Jean jealous. All he wanted was to test her.

"Maybe she saw it and ran away because she got hurt by it and is now furious somewhere. That's

possible too, don't you think? Jean has never been brave, especially in public. On top of that, she

always felt like the inferior one between the two of you. Do you think she would be the aggressive type

who would storm in here to stop that thing you just did?" Zack couldn't help shaking his head, sighing.

As someone successful in business like Zed, even he was so naive at this time, doing such childish

things?

Why did these two who were obviously in love seem to know nothing about handling relationships?

Zed's face paled realizing the truth to what Zack just said. He might have indeed, hurt Jean

unintentionally.

He was about to stand up when he saw Jean appear out of nowhere. Seeing her walking towards him

at a brisk pace, Zed's face looked gloomier.

"Did you just say that she would run away?" Zed turned to Zack with a cold face.

Confused, Zack turned his head and looked in the direction Zed was looking at.

It was indeed Jean walking slowly towards them, with a faint smile on her face.

Her smile seemed contagious that it would rub off on anyone who saw her at the moment.

If anyone took a closer look at her, the slightly upturned corners of her mouth, the light lift of her eyes

and eyebrows, all of them showed her lovely mood.

'Didn't she see what happened back at the table?'

Zed only became more upset seeing her too happy.' Either she didn't see one bit of my fake act or she

didn't care at all.'

Meanwhile, Jesse couldn't help feeling confused, seeing Jean reappear looking unaffected.

Earlier, she clearly saw Jean's devastated face, when she was feeding Zed with the kebab.

Furthermore, to hurt Jean and hit a home run, she even stood on tiptoe and kissed Zed quickly on his

cheek, leaving him no time to react at all.

All she wanted by doing so was to break Jean's heart and make her leave Zed, feeling betrayed.

And that was just a moment ago. Jean did exactly what Jesse had expected her to do, to run away in

desperation.

Sure enough, a devastated and sad Jean did run away immediately seeing her husband welcome

Jesse's kiss.

'What is going on now?

Why did she come back?

And what's with the smile on her face?

Jean Wen, I might have underestimated you.'

"What are you doing here?" asked Jean, with a faint smile on her face. Seeing the people around with

their eyes glued to her at the moment, she tried her best to control her emotions and calm down.

"Where did you go to just now?" Zack could not help feeling strange, seeing the look on Jean's face. As

far as his understanding went, things were not as simple as they seemed.

"Well, I found a beautiful spot somewhere here and spent awhile enjoying it." said Jean, trying to make

herself look calm and composed to all.

However, the moment when her eyes caught sight of the overwhelming variety of food on the colored

glaze table, she just couldn't help shouting with excitement, "Wow, they all look delicious! Why didn't

you tell me that the food is ready? Hey, Zack, did you do magic here? You've turned this simple

barbecue dinner into a luxurious meal. You're awesome!"

Jean exclaimed and gave Zack a thumbs-up in appreciation. She then quickly went closer to the table

and made herself busy trying each kind of food in front of her.

Feeling left out in the cold, Zed fixed his eyes on Jean, completely puzzled at his wife's behavior. His

face could not be described.

'So, she did not see what happened or did she? And how come she's bubblier than a toddler who ate

too much sugar?'

Feeling a pang of exasperation in his heart, Zed stood up.
