Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 263 I Feel Great Shame

Shirley sneered at Jean with great contempt. "I don't want to argue with you for the sake that you have

been just dumped by Zed. But Jean, you must remember that. Everything between us is still not over

yet. So, you are not just free."

As soon as she finished her words with annoy on her face, Shirley fiercely threw off Jean's arms to the

side, forcing her backwards.

Jean was so weak and fragile that she couldn't withstand her violent action. Because of the force she

received, she tripped backwards, and her pale face turned more livid with pain and sorrow.

She felt a little hard to breathe and her eyes turned reddish because of fury. She fiercely stared at

Shirley and still couldn't believe the reaction Shirley had given to her.

"Don't glare at me that way. You have come to such a desperate situation all because of yourself.

Nobody has a part in your situation. You are only to blame yourself. Yes, it's true. You looked down

upon all others when you were with Zed. You never showed any respect to our Wen Family which had

brought you up. You considered yourself to be some queen ruling all over us. And you forgot your

rightful place when you were with Zed But Jean, you have never expected that retribution would come

to you so fast. Am I right? Hahaha, you have made our Wen Family suffer a lot. So, don't even think

about enjoying your life. You have to pay for what you have done."

Shirley chuckled to herself as long as she looked at Jean who was in an extremely awkward position.

She just gloated over Jean's situation without any sympathy. Finally, she was getting her wish fulfilled

to see Jean suffer.

Her mischievous smile was deeply rooted in Jean's mind like an impression of a demon. Jean knew

even if she would want to forget it, she would not be able to succeed.

"Yes, you are correct I deserve it all, " Jean said with her lips pursed, feeling angry and helpless at the

same time.

'I forgave you and gave you chances again and again. But you are always so ungrateful. I shouldn't

have been compassionate towards you. Everyone suggested me to be strict with you, but no, I only

favored you.

No matter how far you went, I never thought of ruining you in person.

But just now, I was feeling spiritless. Shirley, you son of a bitch. At the sight of my awkward situation,

you even did nothing but add insult to my injury and discourage me.

This is my half-sibling. My so called half-sister.'

With a deep disgusting look at Shirley, Jean wanted to go back to her ward.

It would be just a waste of her time to continue staying with such a person and have any further

conversation with her. So, she was just going to turn back.

"What's wrong? Are you leaving?" Before Jean could take a step forward, Shirley immediately grabbed

her arm and sneered at her while stopping Jean in her way. "I haven't finished speaking yet. Are you

too guilty to listen to me? Jean Wen, for the sake that we are siblings, just tell me who the two men you

have hooked up with are? And what Zed did to you when he knew about your dirty act? Just tell me

these things and you are free to go."

"Siblings?" Jean laughed sarcastically and ironically stared at her. "I feel great shame in having a little

sister like you. And I don't want to talk to you further. Keep your hand off my arm. I am going back to

my ward. And don't follow me. Can you take the responsibility of consequences if you postpone my

treatment?"

"Treatment? Do you even have any ailment? Oh, yes. Now you are too shameful to meet Zed. So don't

you just attempt to gain sympathy from him by imploring him to forgive you with an excuse of illness? I

know you very well and I know what you are trying to do. Fine, you can continue acting. Now I am

going to make a phone call to Zed. I really want to see if he will come here to see you or not after he

knows that you are ill and currently admitted in the hospital."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shirley took her mobile phone out of her pocket to make a call to

Zed.

"Wait, just stop." As Shirley was going to make the phone call, Jean morosely and furiously exclaimed,

"Shirley, our relationship will be completely severed if you dare to call Zed. Then, I won't get myself

bothered by anything of your Wen Family anymore." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"Are you joking? Even now, when you are in such an embarrassing situation that you can't even protect

yourself well, how can you care about our business?" Shirley jeered. Without any hesitation and worry,

she flipped through the cellphone numbers and called Zed.

As soon as her phone call was answered, Shirley was thrilled and flustered, her face shining with a

glow as if she had just won an award. "Hello, is that Zed? This is Shirley. Just now, I happened to meet

my sister Jean. And do you know that she is hospitalized for illness. And when could you come here to

see her?"

Jean was angry to her core that she nearly fainted. Nothing else came to her mind other than grabbing

the mobile phone from Shirley. So, she walked forward in an attempt to grab the cellphone from

Shirley's hand, but she was so weak that she was easily pushed away.

She tottered and almost fell over the ground. Without any strength, she could only lean against the wall

and took deep and hard breaths in her state of agitation.

Damn it. Shirley really gave a phone call to Zed and told him about Jean's hospitalization without even

realizing how much it was going to hurt Jean.

She didn't need anyone's compassion, especially his.

"What? You are busy with attending a meeting, so you don't have time to come here? But after all, my

sister is your wife. How can you not come here to see her since she is ill?" It sounded that Shirley was

trying to defend Jean against injustice. But her sardonic and complacent expressions sold her out.

Shirley sneered at and gloated about Jean's current situation. She was enjoying that moment.

"Okay, I understand. Bye." Zed hurriedly hung the phone up before Shirley could utter more words.

After getting hung up on the phone, Shirley was frozen in her place for a while with complex emotions

on her face. Then, she glared at Jean with great detestation. "Jean, I've already told you that you are

good at acting, but you have never believed it. As you can see, now even Zed is unwilling to see you

again."

Jean stared at her blankly, with a knot of feelings deep inside her stomach making her feel as if her

heart would give her away.

Shirley had succeeded, no matter if she was pretending to call Zed for the good of Jean or did that for

any other purpose. And Jean didn't want to listen to it anymore.

From Shirley's words, Jean was certain about one thing.

That, Zed was unwilling to see her again. He made an excuse just to be free from visiting Jean.

And he was reluctant to see her even if he knew that she was hospitalized and was suffering from

some illness.

At that moment, Jean was overwhelmed by a mix of feelings. That was just the man who had said over

and over again that he loved her a lot, would do anything for her and would always make her happy all

her life.

She had never thought that Zed could be so treacherous and ruthless. Her heart was aching and she

was feeling as if she had sunk to the bottom of ocean.

Telling lies was common for men. So, it was normal for Zed to tell a lie in order to make an excuse for

not visiting Jean in hospital.

'You have already witnessed that Zed was lying on the same bed with another woman. Jean, now what

are you still complaining about?' Jean muttered to console herself from all the grief she was feeling.

"So, now you know that I will be divorced soon. And I think you are satisfied with that. So, don't bother

me again if you are wise enough, or else don't put the blame on me if my ill-fortune befalls you." Jean

spoke to Shirley with a grumpy face. Afterwards, she started walking with broken-heart towards her

ward. She just wanted to stay there and get away from the whole world.

Shirley had imagined how Jean would react after she knew about Zed's attitudes towards her. She

expected her to be annoyed, to explode in anger, to say bad things to Zed or to make a scene.

But it was beyond her expectation that Jean would be so calm after knowing Zed's apathy towards her.

She felt kind of disheartened as she didn't get the chance to enjoy.

'Is Jean ill in hospital just because of Zed's indifference to her? It's really hard to believe.

Or is she in hospital because Zed hit her furiously after watching the video?

Jean looks well without any sickness. So why has she been hospitalized? I so hope to get these

details.'

At the thought of these possibilities, Shirley was suddenly filled with excitement and content. Then, she

galloped outside the hospital.

Upon her return to her ward, Jean leaned against the wall while breathing hard and disturbingly, with

tears flowing down her cheeks like rain. Even if she would have wanted to stop them, she wouldn't be

able to do it. So, she let them fall.

Just a day before, Zed had treated her so well and affectionately. But now, he was acting so peculiarly

and cruelly. It was appearing as if he had stopped loving her within a day.

For what had happened in the club the other night, Jean knew that she was wrong in some sense. But

didn't Zed feel guilty at all? At least, he was wrong in some parts.

Jean should be the one that should have lost her temper. But things happened in an opposite manner.

A normal woman would be very angry if she saw that her husband was sleeping with another woman.

But she acted so normally. Zed didn't even considered that.

So far, Zed hadn't given her any explanation related to his doings. In addition, he had even turned a

blind eye to her. And now, he was ignoring her.

He was reluctant to see her even if she was hospitalized. And he didn't even consider the fact that she

could be very serious or anything could have happened to her.

Initially, when Zed didn't know that she was hospitalized, Jean still had some expectations about Zed.

But by this moment, she was desperate and hopeless. And she felt as if her world was over.

Being light-headed and dizzy from all the things that had happened in a few minutes, she fumbled

towards her bed.

After putting his cellphone down, Zed was staring at the document in his hand with complex emotions.

Even after a few minutes, his eyes were still focused at the same point without even blinking at all.

It was not until quite a long time later that he came to his senses. He abruptly put the document down

on the side table and walked outside the office with the coat in his hand.

At that precise moment, he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

Zed was surprised at the knock and in shock, his brows furrowed immediately.

"Come in." Zed replied slowly in a grave tone while putting his coat back on the coat stand.

As soon as the door was opened, he saw that Jesse was rushing into his office with great anxiety.

"Brother Zed, I didn't find Jean at home when I went back. I checked all over the place. So in worry, I

made a phone call to her company, and her colleagues told me that she was not at the company either.

I don't know where Jean has gone."
