Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 269

"Bad things keep happening to me, but I don't mind. But you? You've just come to H City and are totally unfamiliar with this place and these people. I don't want you to be involved." Jean sighed and explained in a caring tone.

'I went to the club just for accompanying Maranda with her blind date. How would I know someone was setting me up? Human beings can be sinister.

Moore is an outsider and I don't want him in this at any cost.' A resolution formed in Jean's mind.

"You don't have to worry when something like this happens. You need to face the problem instead of worrying. No matter how people distort the truth, you need to know it will come out one day." A tone of consolation could be detected in Moore's voice.

"But Moore, these days news travel fast through the advanced Internet. In a matter of few seconds, anything can reach any part of the world. The human heart is always frightening. Even the people who don't know me have interest in laughing at my misery."

Jean looked extremely sad when she said it.

People like Joy and Shirley have ruined her life.

All they wanted was that Zed would divorce Jean. Only then could they rest.

'They must be truly happy now, '

Jean gave a bitter laugh.

The thought of the previous incident depressed her even more.

Seeing the expression on Jean's face, Moore remained silent. And after a long time, he asked carefully, "Was he..."

"I don't want to talk about this. I feel a little bit tired and need to go back to the ward." Jean walked straight towards her room after she finished her words.

Moore stood on the spot she left and looked at Jean's retreating figure with confused expressions. He turned and walked to his ward, sighing all the way.

Every time Moore tried to express his care for Jean and mentioned that guy, she would stop him mid-way. It was like he would never get a chance.

Moore knew that Zed, her husband, didn't show up even once after she was hospitalized.

He never met Zed, but he has heard they married for family interests.

But Moore found it hard to believe that someone would leave Jean after getting to know her personality. In his eyes, Jean was so kind and beautiful.

However...

He was probably overthinking and needed to stop.

'Also, what can I do? I am just an outsider with very little say in their business."

Moore shook his head and there appeared a look of helplessness.

Inside the ward, Jean took off her coat and sat on the bed, lost in thoughts.

'Moore didn't have any knowledge about what happened between me and Zed, so he mentioned Zed over and over again but I never answered his questions.' She felt bad about dodging his questions.

It had only been a few hours since it happened, but she was unexpectedly calm at the moment.

'I feel no anger or no pain, ' she thought.

The only thing she felt was irony. Everything was so absurd.

Now she realized, 'No matter what happens, we live in two different worlds. After he refused to listen to my explanation about the video event, I come to realize the truth that we are done.'

Trying to get the image of Zed out of her head, she took a deep breath. She was prepared for the divorce that Zed is bound to ask for.

It was not that she didn't cherish this marriage, nor that she felt he was at fault.

It was just that she lost faith in Zed after these incidents. She didn't want to be hurt anymore.

She never expected that a man could be so heartless. She was wrong about him all the time.

'Why will a successful man like Zed stand up for her under the circumstance of damaging his reputation and interests?

Jean, stop dreaming!
