Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 272

On hearing a female voice, Jean's beautiful face contorted with displeasure. Her eyebrows scrunched up in mild anger and resistance as she recognized who it was.

It was Jesse — the last person Jean wanted to see right now.

Maranda looked at Jean right in the face. She could see how Jean's eyes spelt pure irritation on seeing that it's Jesse.

'Jean must dislike that person!' was the first thought that came to Maranda's mind. The irony of seeing her pretty hazel eyes fill up with hostility stoked Maranda's anger towards Jesse. And so, Maranda asked coldly, "Who are you? Have you come to the wrong place?"

The dislike in her tone was clear.

Jesse entered the ward and saw two strangers around Jean. The hostility between the women was so strong that you could cut the air with a knife. "It seems that you are hostile to me? But it's only the first time we have met. I don't remember when I offended you before."

"In that case, you must be often offending people without knowing it, " Maranda sneered.

"Well, with a magnificent face like me and a noble family background, it's only natural that I arouse envy in others." A coquettish smile played on Jesse's voluptuous lips as she praised herself. She dared Maranda to come up with a repartee as she looked at Maranda square in the eye, playing with her silky hair.

"Ugh, disgusting!" With big angry eyes, Maranda mocked Jesse, "Oh my God! I have seen many narcissists, but none of them are as narcissistic as you. Are you mentally unstable?"

Jesse's face hardened as she gritted her teeth on hearing Maranda speak bitingly to her again. Jean's silence and not stopping Maranda further irked her.

With sarcasm dripping from each word of her sentence, Jesse said, "Jean, huh? Are all your friends so rude and impolite? What would brother Zed think of you if he knew it? Please don't bring your old vulgar habits into the Qi family. This is highly disgraceful!"

The haughtiness on Jesse's face didn't suit her beauty at all. The perfectly chiselled nose and high cheek bones looked for the worse as Jesse condescended towards Jean.

Trying to distance herself from what happened in the morning, Jesse breathed deep breaths to calm down. Coolly, she judged the moment when she could strike Jean hard.

Recalling how disconcerted brother Zed looked when he saw the video and heard rumors on the Internet about Jean, anger bubbled inside her. Even when Jean saw Zed and Jean sleep on a bed together all night, he didn't want to catch up with her to explain. Clearly, their relationship involved indifference as Zed had turned a blind eye on Jean.

'And what about Jean?

It must be hard for her to digest the scene this morning!

Let me help her!' Jesse thought proudly.

As soon as Jesse got the news that Jean fainted soon after leaving the Qi Group's office, she decided to dash to the hospital to teach Jean a lesson that she would never forget.

Once here, Jesse hadn't imagined meeting this disagreeable woman who was hellbent on mocking her as soon as the woman laid eyes on her.

Despite Jesse's reserved and sophisticated behaviour, she went all out. She spared none — neither Jean nor the low-life that stood in front of her.

Jean was indifferent to Jesse's coming at the hospital. She gave her a black look without uttering a single sound.

The sharp, brutal attack charged on Jesse in fact made Jean secretly congratulate Maranda for her smart rebuttal.

As a retort, when Jesse turned towards Jean and started letting her mouth fly with accusations, Jean couldn't keep calm anymore. "It's none of your business who I make friends. It's my choice and this is who I choose. If you don't want to see us, get the hell out of here! I don't want you to come here, either."

To be honest, Jean was poor at swearing.

Because her skimpy abuse was hardly enough to do justice to her disgust towards Jesse. Otherwise, all the dirty words in the world would not be enough to vent her spite.

"You..." Jesse was so mad that she tremblingly pointed at Jean. "Jean, how dare you talk to me like this? Aren't you afraid I'll tell brother Zed this and get him to drive you out of the Qi family?"

"Oh, I'm so scared! Don't just frighten me here. By all means, go ahead and tell him all this right now! I'd like to know how he would react if he knew you are as meek as a lamb in front of him but as aggressive as a tigress in front of others." Instead of feeling threatened, Jean had shredded Jesse's menacing attack to bits.
