Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 370

"Jean, what is your purpose behind all of this?" It was certain that there was more to all of this than what met the eye. Joy looked at Jean and asked her doubtfully.

She did not believe that Jean's plan to let Shirley work in the Wen Group instead of driving them away was a kind one.

'You have left no stone unturned to assume power in the Wen Group. Haven't you done this just to oust Shirley and I from the Wen Group?

Jean, what is your actual motive behind helping us?'

"Joy, you have been asking me what my purpose is. I can tell you that now I have achieved my purpose." Jean looked at Joy with a sardonic smile. "I have got the Wen Group now. What else do you think that I want to get? Don't think of me as you. I am not someone who'd force you into a corner. Winner has passed away. Shirley is my only sister. I have told you, I want to let Shirley turn over a new leaf and start being a kind person.

Joy, don't you have any regrets? What do you think made you fail so miserably today? It has been your faulty teaching that has got Winner killed and made Shirley so arrogant. You have already seen the result of your bad parenting in Winner's case. Do you still want to see Shirley behaving like this and finally…"

"Shut up!" Indignant, Joy pointed a finger at Jean. "Shut up, you." She screamed this time and glared at Jean. "I refuse to believe that you are being kind or have no ulterior motive behind all of this…"

"Look, you are judging me by your standards. I have everything that I want now. I can forgive my father despite his ill-treatment of me, let alone you," Jean smiled and replied in an even-tempered tone.

Joy felt an inkling of doubt creep up and giving into the argument Jean just made.

'Jean is right. It is because of me that Jean has been so lucky today.

If I hadn't persuaded Henry to do those things, Jean would not have ever gotten married to Zed nor enjoy such a high social status.

Of course, many of those things Henry did were out of his own will.

If she can forgive Henry, clearly Jean will not hurt Shirley or me.

Besides, now that we have nothing to lose, what is there to be afraid of?

As long as Shirley stays in the company and suffers little hardships and I can get the villa worth ten million dollars, we'll be fine. Why don't I accept her offer?'

With all these thoughts churning inside her, Joy became more and more excited.

Jean smiled and watched Joy in silence. She was waiting for Joy's answer patiently.

It hardly worried her that Joy would not agree. Her greed and ignorance was the root cause of her losing everything.

A person, especially a woman, loses more only if she is too scheming.

That villa would be the best bait to lure Joy into the trap.

"Well, I agree with you. Shirley would work in the Wen Group, starting at the bottom," Joy looked up at Jean and said with a bitter smile.

"Okay." Jean nodded to Joy placidly and extended her hand to shake hers as she said,"I hope we will both enjoy our cooperation."

Seeing Jean readily reach out to her, Joy hesitated. Looking into Jean's serene face, Joy felt sure of the deal she was agreeing to. She grabbed Jean's hand and said,"I hope we have a good deal."

A brief moment passed as Joy turned to exit the room feeling calm about how they had resolved their ousting from the Wen Group. As Jean watched her go, a sly smile rose to her lips.

'Joy, from now on, our real contest begins.'

"Mom, why did you accept her offer? I don't want to start at the bottom! I am also a Wen. Why can she be the CEO but I have to bear all the toughness…"

When Jean walked out of the meeting room, she overheard Shirley complain with dissatisfaction.

The smile on Jean's face became brighter. She was hardly worried about Joy not being able to persuade Shirley.

'Joy, as long as you care about something, I will make you realize the pain of loss.'

"Boss." Seeing Jean exit, the secretary-general approached her on the entrance and greeted her.
