When Shirley and Ethan realized that the news they broke was enough to promote the success of their plan, they cast a quick glance at each other. Then, Shirley gave Ethan an imperceptible nod. Being confident about his plan, Ethan looked resolute and started speaking in an agitated tone,"Jean, I have been in pain and have had a hard time since you broke up with me.
Because of you, the Lei family has severed their relationship with me. Now, I am homeless and without any money. But believe me, seeing that you are happy is more important to me than anything else. However, I was sad to see that Zed gave you a cold shoulder after the video incident. He was reluctant to even see you when you were ill in hospital. When I heard of that, I felt rather distressed.
I treated you like a treasure and always made sure you were safe. I can understand and forgive you for abandoning me and being with Zed because I know that all you wanted was a better life. But Zed is so ruthless to you. I can't bear that. I care about you so much. I love you a lot too. Jean, come back to me! Let bygones be bygones. I won't fuss about our past as long as you come back to me. I will love you wholeheartedly.
Jean, I know that you won't believe me, but I have no other way of showing my love. I still wish you could give me a chance. Can you? You have to know that I will always be there with you. If Zed ever wants to separate, keep in mind that my door will always be open for you. Jean, I earnestly love you."
Ethan finished with a passion. Now there was a tender look in his eyes and he had his affectionate gaze fixated on Jean.
These words didn't bring any happiness to Jean. Instead, she felt disgusted hearing it.
For Jean, it didn't look genuine. It looked like a work of a good actor in some crappy TV show.
In their plot, Ethan was like the leading actor who had no regret about his love, while Jean and Zed were just like the shameless couple in all onlookers' eyes.
'Ethan, you are so mean! You are absolutely irredeemable.'
By now, Jean lost her temper and couldn't stand there watching. She loosened her grip on Zed's arm and walked towards Ethan slowly.
"Jean..." Zed called her with a little anxiety. He was concerned about Jean's safety. But judging from the current situation, he concluded that Ethan definitely wouldn't harm Jean in front of people. Moreover, if everyone stayed quiet, then Ethan would keep talking rubbish.
"I'm fine. You don't have to follow me. I will handle it by myself." While Jean said this, she turned back and gave Zed a smile which meant to reassure him.
Hearing her firm reply, Zed nodded and said,"Okay, I will be here waiting for you."
Her face turned gentle when she looked at Zed, but immediately flew into rage when she faced Ethan.
As Maranda saw Jean was walking over there alone, great anxiety mounted inside her and she said,"Jean is going there alone. Can she handle it? What if she is insulted and bullied by Ethan? I think I better keep her company!"
As soon as she finished her words, Maranda was about to follow behind Jean.
But before she could step forward, Ron grabbed her arm and said,"Zed would have kept her company if Jean really needs that. You'd better not go there to cause more troubles."
Taking Ron's words into consideration, Maranda felt that it made sense. Hence, she took his advice and didn't follow Jean.
Now, Jean's focus was fixated on Ethan when she walked towards him. Seeing a complacent smile on his face made Jean heavy-hearted.
That was the man she had loved. Somehow, seeing his face weakened her resolution. Harsh words dried on her tongue and she just kept walking.
Deep down, she had realized that Ethan was a bad guy. In spite of this, she didn't wish him ill.
But Ethan had been so shameless to speak those words out in public, so Jean had no choice but to stop him.
