Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 228

"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, 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?"
