Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 270

"I know that you didn't post the video online. Somebody else did it." Jean noticed Eva's emotional turmoil and sighed, "Please relax. Let's have a good talk about it." With serious tone but calm face Jean had realized that Eva was experiencing great bewilderment and she wanted Eva to hold her composure.

"If I didn't hear it with my own ears, I would think that the video is related to somebody else. Jean, I am really sorry that I underestimated you. I never expected that you would remain so calm after all things that had happened to you. Everyone including me were thinking that you would create a scene and we would get the chance to enjoy it." Eva sighed sorely with an embarrassing smile on her face. She was feeling ashamed of what she had done.

"Since things had already happened, I had to find a solution to it by myself. I was not at liberty to lose my poise. I can't solve any problem, by just being emotional and angry. Am I right?" Jean said with a forced smile. She had to keep her composure in spite of the fact that she was feeling miserable and depressed deep within her heart.

"You are right. And you also handled the situation with senses. But why do you keep calling me even though you knew I didn't do it?" In a startled tone Eva asked Jean with confusion. She really wanted to know the reason behind Jean's so many calls. It was making her distraught.

"I wanted to know who else knew about the video apart from you? Though the video posted online was different from yours, I felt that the video uploader tried to exaggerate the matter, focused more on my interaction with Calvin, keeping your video as the base. The editing done on the video was of high quality, and great effort was also placed on it. It was very much well planned. Of course, the edited video would ignite the crowd's attention more easily."

Jean explained with a dark face and serious tone. She was determined to go to the root of the matter and was ready to do anything possible for it.

Eva admired Jean's reasoning and decided to tell her everything she knew after having some thoughts. "Jean, I accept that I share half of the responsibility for all of this. If I wouldn't have made that video, nothing like this would have happened. I agree with you. The video uploader did borrow my idea to exaggerate the relationship between you and Calvin. I want you to know that other than a friend of mine, Jesse also knows about the video. I really regret all the things that had happened and all the hurt that you had to face because of me."

"Jesse..." Jean was startled on hearing that Jesse did know about the video but she couldn't help herself from crying out Jesse's name. She wanted to say more about Jesse but her shock was not letting her say anything else. Her face was dazed with her eyes staring at one point without blinking for once.

"Yes. On that night at the resort, she came to my room and threatened me to hand it over to her. She promised me that she wouldn't post it online, so that was why I gave it to her. I didn't know that this was going to happen in a few days." Eva explained it to Jean as her face reddened in embarrassment.

"Do you trust her words?" Jean's expressions turned more grave. It never dawned on her that Jesse would knew about the video. She thought Eva was the only one having the video.

Could she be the one who uploaded the video?

Now she was the most suspicious person. All the clues were pointing her to be the culprit.

Jean bit her lips and her face darkened with concern while wondering about Jesse.

"As for my friend, he did post something online without my consent once. But he deleted it quickly when I approached him. So there would not be a possibility that he had done it. And I promise you that the video he posted that time was not the one which is present online."

Eva tried to explain it to Jean soberly. Eva knew his friend would not have done it. He was not that kind of person.

"Do you trust your friend?" After listening to Eva's explanation Jean asked her to clear her doubt and to get confirmation from Eva about her friend.

"I trust him, or I would not let him edit the video." Eva nodded affirmatively.

Jean's brows furrowed in silence. Her mind was now in a total mess. She was perplexed because she was not at all near in finding the planner who had done all this.

Though from Eva, she got some clues about the video, such as Jesse and Eva's friend, they were not full proof clues, just mere hints.

And Jean could not wrongly accuse them to be the person behind the matter, before there was enough evidence to prove them to be an offender.

"Today I went to find Jesse, in the parking lot of The Qi Group." Eva continued to speak, since Jean was silent. Eva wanted to clarify herself from all the doubts that Jean would be having about her. As Jean was not saying anything, she got the chance to justify herself.

"You went to find her?"

Hearing about the parking lot of The Qi Group, Jean held back her worry and thoughts and asked with furrowed brows, as Eva could tell her something which could prove useful for her.

"Yes. I asked her whether she had posted the video online or not, but she denied it. And judging from the expression on her face, it seemed that she didn't do it. But, if not her, who would it be? Who could be so vengeful to do such kind of thing and by editing it, they achieved a new low, " Eva said, in a puzzled tone. She was running her mind as fast as possible to crack the case open.

"Let's not guess recklessly, before getting a solid proof. And it would do us no good if we keep on guessing. So we have to work towards getting the evidence." Jean relaxed her brows and reminded Eva on the phone. "Be careful by yourself. You might get involved in this matter, or even worse, you might be rendered the scapegoat. So don't do anything which could prove troublesome for you. Eva, please be extra careful."

"I know, or I wouldn't have turned off my phone so that people can't find me. I am taking all the precautions necessary, " Eva said grievously. She was kinda tired because of all this as she was not the one who did it.

"But now why do you switch your phone on?" Jean felt curious so she asked her in a surprised tone.
