Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 406

"Is there anything suspicious?" Zed looked at Jean and he immediately understood her intention.

"I'll tell you that but later. Now, the most important thing is to promise Joy to save Shirley." Jean held the phone in her hand and replied.

Zed knew that he was unable to prevent Jean from doing this, so he just nodded his head helplessly.

"Joy, no matter how many personal?animosities we had before, I still feel sad to hear that Shirley is kidnapped. I promise you that I will try my best to save Shirley. But I cannot promise you that I will succeed in it," Jean said to Joy, trying to calm her down.

"Jean... Really? It's so nice of you to say yes. I know that you're a kind-hearted girl. After what we did to you, you are still helping us. It is all my fault. I was a bastard." Joy burst into tears and was filled with gratitude.

"Where are you now? I'll be over there now," Jean said. She wanted to help her soon. "Let's meet and then you can tell me exactly what happened."

Joy was stunned by Jean's words. She hadn't expected that Jean would ask to see her so soon. "Let's meet outside. I'm afraid that those kidnappers are still watching me," she replied in a hurry.

"Well, let's meet at the Left Bank Cafe in Wanda Plaza." Then Jean hung up the phone.

She raised her head to look up at Zed. As expected, he was looking at her with worry and disapproval.

So Jean held Zed's hand with a sweet smile on her face. She said fawningly,"Come on, baby. Don't worry about me, okay? I promise you that I will be fine."

"No, this is a risky situation and you can't be sure of your safety," Zed replied, still frowning. "If you want me to rest assured, then tell me why you promised Joy to save Shirley? Frankly speaking, I don't believe it is just because you are worrying about Shirley's safety."

"Bingo! You can always see my mind." Hearing Zed's words, Jean laughed. "I have suspected that Winner's death may be related to Shirley. But this time the kidnappers turned out to be the murderer of Winner. It's so strange. I need to know the truth. Let's see. If it turns out to be Shirley who has hired a murderer to kill Winner, then her purpose is evident — there will be no one to fight for Wen Group with her. Recently, there was a series of accidents in the Wen Family. Shirley has always been so extravagant with her money.

Besides, Joy and Shirley have spent the rest of their money to buy the shares of the Wen Group. Shirley didn't expect that I become the owner of the Wen Group. She may not have enough money to pay the murderer now. So I'm assuming that maybe the murderer wanted to take the risk of kidnapping Shirley to make a profit when he saw Shirley couldn't pay for him."

"You are so good at fantasizing. It's a pity that you are not a screenwriter." Hearing Jean's prediction, Zed stared at her with amazement.

"Stop making fun of me! Although it's all my suspicion, it's rational and the whole thing might turn out to be true." Jean sighed.

"If the whole thing was as what you said, then what are you going to do? Are you going to save Shirley?" Zed was concerned and wanted to know the answer to this question.

"Of course I'll save her," Jean replied without a tinge of hesitation. "After all, she belongs to the Wen Family. Besides, it would not be difficult to save her."

Hearing Jean's words, Zed nodded his head with understanding. "Wen Group is in your hand now, and you have the right to save her. And that's why Joy has come begging you. There's no doubt that she has no other choice, so you are her last straw. But I still can't figure out why you chose to help her."

"Because I think that Shirley should be punished by the law, and all the citizens of this city should know what kind of woman she is on earth. Those sordid things she has done needs to come out. But she shouldn't be killed by the murderer. Because it is a relief for her to simply die like that." Finally, Jean revealed to Zed her true thoughts. Coming clean felt good and she felt the burden going off her shoulder.

Zed could not help squinting up his eyes because he finally knew what a smart woman she is.

'Yes, Jean is a wonderful woman who never does things sloppily but with toughness and determination, ' he thought with pride.

"I see. You can have it work out the way you want. But you have to promise me to stay by my side and let me deal with it," Zed said to Jean seriously.

"No, I don't want you to interfere in it. Zed, I know what I'm doing now, so you may rest assured. Since the gangster asked for money, they will not harm me. If you still can't be satisfied, then just arrange a few bodyguards to protect me. Alright?" Jean looked up at Zed with her beseeching eyes.
