Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 225

After taking the bath, Zed came out with a blank face.

The sweetness and softness he had worn on his face before for Jean was all gone, as if he was not the same any more. He was feeling disappointed and angry which was visible from his serious face.

Jean was also upset but she had no one to confide, so she quickly rushed into a shower in the bathroom. And when she came out, the room was empty. Zed was not there any more.

On seeing that Zed had left the room without saying any other word, the weakly Jean sighed. She put on her clothes downheartedly and walked outside to join the party.

On the lawn, the barbecue party was heatedly going on.

Beers, beverages and various delicious food were neatly arranged on the counter table covered with white veil.

Fruits, cakes and all kinds of desserts were arranged in flowery patterns.

It was more of a party for the upper-class than a barbecue party as the food display was not worldly and ambiance was a sight to behold.

Jean was surprised, on seeing Zack laughing happily and loudly with a bunch of people. His handsome face glowed with a smile as he was being hit on by some beautiful ladies.

Had she not known about Zack's story, Jean would never imagined that Zack was actually a faithful person to be involved in a relationship.

Jean glanced around and saw Zed and Jesse sitting around a corner and chatting happily. On that sight, her heart sank in dismay. A wave of sorrow went through her body.

But she decided to walk away from there, as she turned to go, she heard footsteps behind her.

"Jean..." The voice was from Eva. Hearing that, Jean stopped in mid-way.

When Jean turned around to see Eva walking towards her with a wicked smile and happiness showing from her face, Jean furrowed her brows and asked unpleasantly, "What's the matter?"

"What? Do you feel sad on seeing your husband with another woman?" Eva stared towards Zed and Jesse and crossed her arms around her chest. She was trying to provoke Jean so that Jean would say something, which she could use for her own benefit.

"If there is nothing else, then I'll leave." With darkened face Jean replied haughtily.

"I have thought about it for a while. If we two cooperate with each other, you won't have to worry about the another woman." Eva looked at Jean with sincerity.

"What are you talking about?" Jean asked as she thought she had heard it wrong. How could Eva say anything like this?

"Don't worry. I mean what I am saying this time." Eva looked at Jean and said, "If I have to choose someone between you and her to be with Zed, I would choose you."

"Why?" Jean was even more surprised. Didn't Eva want to approach Zed to start a romantic affair? And that's why she came here.

"Stop thinking about why." Eva threw an annoying stare at Jean and said, "I'm helping you because I pity you, you dumb stupid woman. People out there are trying to set you up. And you don't even know it. I am telling you. You should be able to tell right from wrong."

"Eva, you need to give me a reason, otherwise, how could I trust you?" Jean forced a smile and said, "I know, you have your eyes on Zed. You can't deny it. How is that possible that you want to help me? Are you going to give up on pursing Zed?"

"Who told you I'm giving up? Can't you see that the biggest threat is not me, but Jesse? I have dealt with that woman several years ago. She was such a devious character and I know she still is. Jean, you can't outwit her at all. If you don't know how dangerous the situation you are in, then you are left to be bullied and you can't strike back."

Eva said with indignation in an unhappy voice.

Seeing Eva's angry expression and on hearing her opinion, Jean's heart sank thousand times more and she started to feel powerless.

She knew what Eva would say to her. The thing was obvious, since even Eva could see it.
