Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 405

Jean took out her cell phone. As soon as she saw the name on the screen, her face had a complicated expression appear on it.

"What is it?" Zed watched the change of expression of Jean's face and immediately realized something was wrong. Wanting to know what it was, he quickly asked her.

After heaving a long sigh, Jean passed the cell phone to Zed.

Zed took it with puzzlement. After he saw the name "Joy" on the screen, he realized what the problem was. "Let me talk to her," Zed said wanting Jean to relax.

In truth, Jean really didn't feel like talking to Joy, so she nodded her head to Zed's offer.

Zed pressed the connect button. Before he could open his mouth, Joy's anxious voice came through the other end of the line. "Jean, Shirley is in big trouble. Could you please save her…..."

Zed quietly heard until she was finished.

Realizing she was done, he said,"Jean is taking a shower. I will ask her to call you back when she comes out." A moment of silence followed on the other end of the call, but Joy's worried panting was still audible to him. A few seconds later, Joy seemed to make up her mind and her tone was somewhat composed. She begged,"Zed, could you please help me to save Shirley? Winner is gone. Now all I have is Shirley. I can't let anything bad happen to her again. So please save her for the sake of the Wen family, as you are Henry's son-in-law, okay?"

Zed wrinkled his nose. He was well aware that Joy had the tendency to change her tone when she needed something.

"I am sorry. I don't think I have such a close relationship with you. So I have to say no." Zed turned her down without giving it a second thought.

"Zed, please. I beg you. I will do whatever you want me to do. I will give you anything you want if you help me now. Okay? Please…" Joy used a pleading tone and carried on begging. After a while, She started to cry on the other end of the line.

Zed frowned and looked at Jean who was watching him carefully.

Actually, Zed had put her on speaker when he pressed the connect button, so Jean had heard the entire conversation between them.

Confused, Jean wondered what had happened that put Joy into such a condition. Joy, who had been selfish and arrogant, was now asking for her help.

'This is an opportunity that has been sent me! I shouldn't let it go, ' she thought secretly.

Jean set aside her self-esteem and decided to take the phone.

Moving forward, she took the phone from Zed's hand.

Zed didn't want Jean to get involved in it which was why he answered the phone himself.

Now seeing Jean take the phone from him, he showed concern on his face. But he had no choice but to let her do it.

From Joy's tone and attitude, Zed deduced something serious must have happened to Shirley.

'Why did Jean want to answer the phone?

Joy didn't dare talk to me in a rude tone.

However, if Jean talks directly to Joy and refuses to help then Joy will put all the blame on Jean. And we don't know what happens to Shirley now. If it is too complicated, I don't want Jean to get involved that mess, ' thought Zed feeling worried.

"What's wrong with Shirley?" Jean cut to the chase as soon as she talked on the phone.

"Jean…" Joy was startled. She hadn't expected Jean to talk suddenly while she was still focusing on persuading Zed. When Joy spoke, it was in a choking voice. "Shirley! That silly girl got into trouble. Jean, please help me save her. After all, she is your sister....."
