Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 255

"We didn't quarrel. Actually, it is far more serious than a quarrel. Please stop asking." Jean raised her head. Her face was red and puffy due to all the crying. Her voice came out as croaky when she spoke.

"How can it be so serious?" Jesse rolled her eyes thinking Jean must have exaggerated the fight. She racked her brain and tried to figure out a reason for Zed's sudden anger.

"Did you go on a date with another man behind Zed's back?" Jesse's thoughts stopped at this idea because that seemed to be plausible.

Jean slowly stopped crying when she heard Jesse's accusation. She stared at Jesse and asked, "What do you know?"

"I don't know anything. That's why I am guessing." Jesse sighed and raised her hand as if surrendering herself.

"Guess? Really? Is that all?" Jean questioned. She didn't believe that Jesse had no idea about their problems. Slowly, she stood and wiped her face casually with the back of her hand. Frowning, she looked at Jesse and said, "Not long ago, when we were in the resort, I happened to hear that you said something to Eva. Jesse, if I ever come to know this was all your plan then you are dead."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jesse retorted looking puzzled. Her eyes widened and looked like they would fall out of the socket any second. She thought hard and something seemed to hit her. She was rather surprised looking at Jean and put forward a question. "Did Zed really see the video shot by Eva? That's too terrible. Then it is understandable why Zed is so angry. As far as I am concerned, you have been leading such a happy life that you even forgot your role as Zed's wife. It is alright for you to get on with others. But you were rather silly to drink with another man. Well, you asked for it! Now that Zed is infuriated by you, it is not an easy task for you to win his forgiveness. Wait and see if he will ever forgive you!"

As Jesse continued to speak, she even gloated. Her tone was quite sarcastic and Jean detected it easily.

"You still won't admit that you planned all this? I was confused about Eva's attitude when I met her in the morning. I was wondering why she seemed to have something to tell me but left without saying anything. Now I seem to know the reason. Did you go to talk with her in secret? You worked together to scheme and plot. Then Eva smartly gave me this useless video, am I right?" Jean grabbed Jesse's arm wanting to get an answer out of her.

"Jean, you're slinging mud at me -- that's sheer nonsense!" These accusations brought Jesse's rage, so she yelled back. "You can eat whatever you like, but you don't have the right to smite me with the tongue. Have you thought about the consequence resulting from your words? I can sue you for defamation."

"Go and sue me! My life is already a mess so there is nothing I am afraid of." Jean's eyes were red with great anger. She said indifferently and her tone showed that she cared for nothing.

"Crazy. You are really crazy." Jesse was rather dumbfounded to see Jean's red eyes and angry face. She sighed and said, "Take it easy. I know you are doubting me now. But you should not get so fired up as if you were about to eat me. Calm down, Ok? Things have already happened. What you need to do now is to come up with a solution instead of making things worse by throwing yourself into another trouble. Yes, I admit that I knew Eva shot everything that happened in the club. But I hate to use such methods when dealing with others.

I admit that I don't like you and even hate you. But you are Zed's wife. So even if I don't care about you, I have to think about Zed's feelings. Once your reputation is ruined, so does Zed's. And I would never do anything to ruin his reputation."

Jesse explained in a calm manner.

Such mature words from Jesse amazed Jean. She raised her head to look into Jesse's eyes and realized this time there was no sarcasm. "Finally, you admit that you don't like me and even hate me. So, in order to stay with Zed, you have used all kinds of methods to throw me out of this house. Am I right?"

Anger crept onto Jesse's face, but she spoke in a cool tone, "I know that you are losing your mind right now. I am wasting my time talking to you. I will leave you alone. Calm down and think about what I just said. I am going to find Zed now."

Jesse finished saying her words and ran out quickly.

'She is going to find Zed...'

Jean burst into a laughter suddenly. She realized that she was turning into a maniac.

She laughed and smiled all at once with her dress completely wet due to all the crying.

The fact that Zed had dumped her gave Jesse the golden opportunity to approach him.

Jean felt quite sorry for herself. She was lonely with no one to rely on. She hadn't done anything wrong, yet she was being treated unjustly. At that moment she was forgotten and dumped by the whole world. No one would come to her rescue.

She fell to the ground and huddled herself tightly in the corner. She sincerely wished to disappear from the world at that moment.

Jean thought to herself, 'Why am I so cold?

Why does my heart ache?

Men's words can never be trusted. They promise all sort of things, but in the end everything is a lie.
