Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 290

Zed had already expected that Jesse would come in, so he stared at her with a poker face and spoke," I am tired..."

His voice was full of impatience and coldness."Zed, tell me what Jean came to see you for? After all, I brought her in and I will feel uneasy if I don't get things clear, especially after I saw her threaten you arrogantly..."

'Do you also know that Jean came here because of you?'

Zed sneered in his heart, 'If you hadn't make trouble, I wouldn't have felt so embarrassed just now.'

It was also because of Jesse that Jean hated Zed more and he knew it.

Thinking of this, Zed felt a sharp headache.

He contemplated and understood that it would take him a lot of effort to gain Jean's love.

On the other hand, Jesse was startled to notice Zed completely forgot her presence in the room.

'Did Jean do something to anger Zed?'

"Zed, I am sorry, I didn't mean it!I shouldn't have let her come in. I am so sorry. I will never let her in again!"apologized Jesse, as she looked at Zed, feeling self-condemned and uneasy.

"Forget it! It's not your fault." Zed heaved a long sigh," She wanted a divorce and I didn't agree."

"Zed, why didn't you agree?" The mention of divorce made Jesse happy, but Zed's reply to it brought shock.

"Do you think it's the right time to agree ..." Zed didn't speak more but looked at Jesse and frowned.

"I got it!" Jesse interrupted furiously," I didn't expect that Jean was such a woman, who would distance herself with you after seeing that your company is in trouble and knowing that video was made against you. What a scheming woman she is!"

"What did you say just now? Jean knows that the video is made to exploit me?" asked Zed, with a tinge of surprise.

Realizing her mistake, Jesse opened her eyes wide and hastily added," Anyone with a brain can know that. I went to see her yesterday and saw Maranda and Ron in her ward. It is well-known in Imperial Capital that Ron is a very cunning man."

"Why didn't I know that you went to spy Jean yesterday? What did you aim to find out?" Completely perplexed, Zed had his eyebrows knitted in a frown.

'What the hell is Toby doing?

Why didn't he inform me about this?

And that Ron, why did he go to the hospital with Maranda to see Jean? What is his motive?

Isn't he in love with Maranda?' Zed wondered.

"I..." Jean stammered. She regretted and cursed herself for not being careful with her words. 'Why did I let it slip?' she scorned herself.

Now she didn't know how to explain it to Zed.

"I heard about Jean being hospitalized, so I went to see her! Don't use the word 'spy', Zed! I knew you were busy and couldn't spare time for this. But I also know you care about her, so I went to make sure she is fine."

Being a quick-minded lady, Jesse managed to escape with this answer.

Hearing this, Zed's face softened a bit, but he continued to admonish her," But you didn't tell me about it afterward."

"I wanted to tell you but you didn't come home last night." Jesse felt aggrieved when speaking of this. "Zed, where did you go last night?"

"I was invited to a dinner last night to meet some big shareholders. I drank too much, so I didn't get back." Zed explained indifferently.

A look of understanding passed Jesse's face and she nodded her head. She let out a long sigh of relief.

When she got the news about Zed's accident this morning and heard it was so close to the hospital, she had an idea that Zed was with Jean last night.
