Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 275

"Come on, Maranda, stop talking nonsense. I am not going to agree on it." Jean saw the decisive expression on Maranda's face and heard that she even planned to join Ron and Calvin to clarify the rumors to the public. Her expressions suddenly changed as her face became gloomy.

"Jean, I know you don't want us to step in because of the fear that it could hurt our reputation. And after that we would be in so much chaos. But if we are unable to protect you, then what's the use of this reputation? You're my first real friend. I won't let you face it alone!" Seeing Jean's angry but gloomy face, Maranda hurried to placate her. She didn't want Jean to be angry as it could affect her health.

"Maranda, I know you don't want me to be defamed and bullied, and I also appreciate the kindness you two are showing towards me. I am really thankful for all this. But have you ever thought that if you come forward in haste, you might get defamed as well? And have you thought of the effects it's going to have on your family. You know, cyber violence is quite terrible. And what's worse, the rumors about that video might be even more difficult to be clarified by then, " Jean said with a worried face.

"Don't worry! The Qin family has a team specializing in crisis public relations. At this juncture, if they don't reflect the value of their existence, then we are hiring them for nothing, " Maranda said with a big proud smile. As she knew, this team could handle this matter easily.

Instantly in surprise, Jean's eyes widened. She couldn't believe on what she had just heard, a team dealing with crisis public relations?

She had heard about it somewhere in her past, but she used to think it existed only in the entertainment industry. Now she found herself to be ignorant. Obviously, people from different aspects of life would also need these crisis teams, as her incident was one of an example to consider.

But it was also not that surprising. The Qin family had a large number of people and a huge family business. It was a real rich and powerful family.

And those stars who took great pains to marry into the rich and powerful family would be having certain reasons and purposes.

In addition to enjoying luxury and wealth, all specialized services they received were naturally more high-grade than as a star.

Speaking of the public relations team... If the Qin family had it, so did Zed. Zed's business was also at the same level as that of Qin family. So, he would have this team also.

But...

Maranda told her about it so naturally in order to try and help her. She was not at all hesitant for a minute to disclose it. It showed Maranda really cared for her.

On the contrary, the man, her nominal husband, didn't even come to see her long after she was fainted and hospitalized, let alone help her out. All this made her feel depressed and her heart started to ache as if someone was gripping it by a sharp paw.

The differences between people really could be bitterly disappointing at times. People could act in such a contrasting manner from the way they were expected to act.

Maranda sensed that Jean was silent after hearing her, and obviously, Jean's mood had also changed to desolate. Maranda carefully recalled what she had just said. It suddenly occurred to her that now as she had mentioned that the Qin family had a public relations team, Zed would also have one, but he did not even take any public relations measures after the rumors about Jean broke out on the Internet.

So she understood that she had mentioned the reason for Jean's sadness recently. But it was unintentional as she didn't put so much thought in it then. She only mentioned it for better.

Maranda felt guilty at once. "Jean...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... Please don't be sad..." Becoming incoherent because of anxiety, Maranda said remorsefully.

Ron also stared at Jean with a worried face, as he also noticed the change that happened in Jean within the period of a few minutes. He never thought that the relations between Zed and Jean were so weak. Realizing that, he was surprised and puzzled. Married people were expected to have healthy relations between them. But it seemed that even after such a long duration of Jean's marriage, her marriage was still strained.

"Oh, you silly girl! Please don't say that." Jean quickly looked up at Maranda and innocently smiled. "You don't have to apologize for that. Besides, there is no longer any need to hide it from you. In fact, when the rumors broke out, my husband just lost his temper and then left me alone. He is not good at handling his temper. As we didn't get time to spend with each other, I didn't get the chance to clarify myself, "

Jean said casually with an indifferent face.

"What a cold-blooded man! I used to admire you for getting married to such an excellent man, but now I despise him very much. I never expected him to be like this." Maranda was angry on hearing about the reaction Zed gave after the incident.

"Well, please don't get angry over this anymore. I have told you so much of my information. Now you can see that I'm fine, and we have already shared so much. So, relax and calm yourself down. You can go back now if you have something to deal with. Don't worry too much. And I am going to take some rest too. All the talking have made me exhausted."

Jean didn't know whether it was because of too many troubles coming towards her recently or because she had just fainted in the morning and hadn't got the time to recover yet.

She was feeling a little dizzy and lack of energy to talk anymore, so she intended to bid goodbye to them. All the things were draining her energy to the core.

When Maranda saw that Jean was really looking unwell and was turning paler, she instantly blamed herself for her carelessness of not taking care of Jean but keeping continuing the conversation. And so she said regretfully, "Well, have a good rest and do not think too much. I'll come back tomorrow." Then she gave Jean a affectionate hug with a smiling face and stood up to move out of the room.

"Jean, if you need any help, just contact me at any time. Don't hesitate. Take care of yourself!" Ron also bade goodbye to her and stood up from his chair to proceed towards the door.

Jean nodded and waved goodbye to Maranda and Ron and watched them leave.

When the ward was quiet again, Jean sighed deeply in a tiring way, and then slowly lay down on her bed. She really needed this rest, but all the things that had happened till now kept flashing in her mind. But as she was exhausted to the core, sleep took over her in no time.

She slept for a long time. It was a dreamless quiet sleep.
