Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 278

Secretly, Toby had kept his eyes on Jean all this time. It was quite difficult for him considering he had to make sure his mission wasn't exposed. However, now he had no other choice but to confront Jean.

As if to make things even worse, he had to use his power to pull her from the cab. Jean at the moment, nearly lost her temper, and he felt her rage.

How he regretted this first meeting!

Toby laughed bitterly in his heart, but he could do nothing.

'After all, it is the mission given by Mr. Zed. I have to bear it no matter what happens, ' thought him sadly.

"Who do you think you are? Ridiculous, I'll see how you can stop me!" Every second Jean's anger seemed to grow manifold.

'The best defense is a good offense! How can he try to stop me like this?

What kind of man is he to bully a woman like me and that too in the broad daylight?

No, he is actually a scumbag, a hooligan, a bandit……' Jean's mind was filled with hatred for this guy she never met before.

Toby noticed Jean was trying to punch him so he smartly dodged the hit.

Looking at the tiny angry Jean with a complex look on his face, Toby searched his mind for the next step.

'Mr. Zed told me that I should not reveal my identity until the last minute.

Besides, Mr. Zed also said that things have become difficult currently, that he cannot come to see Mrs. Jean for a while. That is why he told me to watch over Mrs. Jean more carefully. I can't let Mrs. Jean leave the hospital under the circumstance, or she would be hurt.

But what can I do now?

Though I've been secretly protecting Mrs. Jean for a few days, I never knew she is this hard to handle.

Did this tiny woman actually try to hit me?'

Lost in the dilemma, Toby hoped Mr. Zed had prepared him more for this duty. He felt helpless under this struggling lady.

Lucky for Jean that it was Toby who was given this task because any other person would have gone crazy.

"Let go of me!" shouted Jean surprisedly and angrily. With her hands clamped in his, Jean tried her best to disengage herself from his tight grip.

However, Toby was much stronger than Jean. She felt that his hands were like pliers, holding her so hard that she stood no chance.

"Who on earth are you? Why are you stopping me? I don't even know you……"

Realizing his strength, Jean looked him straight into his eyes trying to use her angry face to persuade him.

'Are they tired of their plans so trying to hurt me physically?

But wait, Right here, at the hospital gate? No one would choose a place like this to hurt someone!'

As she thought about this, Jean looked around and found that this scene was being watched by several people.

"Mrs……" Toby's voice spoke distracting Jean from watching the passers-by. "Take it easy. I have no enmity towards you. As a matter of fact, I am commissioned to protect you here. Please go back to your ward. You'll be safe there." His tone sounded persuasive, but Jean noticed he made no attempt at revealing his identity.

"You are commissioned here?" asked Jean in a suspicious tone, "By who?"

"I can't tell you that until I have the permission to do so." replied Toby with a blank face.

"Why should I believe you when you won't even tell me who sent you? Just let go of me, or I'm gonna call someone for help, " said Jean with a sneer. Obviously, she did not believe him at all.

"There are so many ways if I really want to hurt you." replied Toby in a flat tone, looking at Jean with no facial expression on his face. He continued, "You should be clear that I am stopping you from leaving the hospital for your safety."

Hearing his convincing tone, Jean was shocked to notice he had a point. She nearly forgot all about her poor health when she decided to leave the hospital. She couldn't help looking up and down at the man in front of her.

Inspecting him, Jean noticed he was a tall and strong man with well-developed muscles and there was sharpness in his deep eyes.

Trying hard to swallow her words, Jean asked hesitantly, "Fine, you cannot tell me who sent you. Then tell me how long you've been following me?"

This question threw him off-guard since he never expected such a question from her. He took a moment to ponder over this question.
