Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 43

Dejected, Zed returned to the sofa. Lost in thoughts of Jean and the Weibo incident, he squeezed and unsqueezed the empty bottle in his hand. All of a sudden, he looked at the computer on the desk. When he noticed the page was prompting him for the password, Zed sat upright. He had never told Jean the password to his computer. And her cell phone was not working either.

"Was Jean set up? Did someone else send the message?' Zed wondered.

He thought over their confrontation and all of Jean's arguments, right from the clothing store till Zed had asked her to leave. Not once had Jean brought up Ethan. Instead, the whole time, she had seemed very confused as though she didn't know what Zed was talking about at all. "Is it possible that I accused her of something she didn't do?" Zed said to himself.

He kept circling back to the fact that the Weibo had been sent and verified through Jean's account. 'Could it be that she went to an internet café?' Zed thought.

A sense of foreboding filled Zed. To verify all the facts, he called his secretary.

"Check where Jean sent that message from. Be quick!" Zed ordered.

Till then, the secretary had no idea why Zed had stormed out of the meeting earlier that morning. Now, he realized that Zed had been upset about something related to Jean. He quickly scribbled the details Zed provided during the call and then looked into the IP address of that message.

A few minutes later, Zed received a call from his secretary. The address showed that the message originated at the Wen family house. This left Zed even more confused. Jean had disowned her father, so she would not return there. Moreover, he had found her in the department store. There was no way for her to update her Weibo at the Wen family house and then reach the department store before Zed. The times just didn't add up.

"Oh my god! I blamed Jean for something she didn't do." Zed muttered.

In a hurry, he dropped the bottle and rushed out to look for Jean. But unfortunately, he didn't see her.

Zed thought, 'She left only a little while ago. She couldn't have gone far! Maybe I can catch up with her if I drive.' Zed rushed back into the driveway and got into his car. Despite driving around for a long time, Zed saw no sign of Jean anywhere near his villa.

"Jean, are you a rabbit? How did you disappear so fast?" Zed cried in frustration. He frowned and regretted what he had said to Jean. He was so angry that his thoughts became a jumbled mess. It took a few minutes for Zed to think of what he should do next.

Zed took out his mobile phone and started the GPS. Then he face-palmed himself. Zed sighed as he cursed himself, "You're such a fool. Do you have no brains in your head?" he mumbled to himself.

Jean's mobile phone was not working and she had thrown the credit card onto the ground before she left the villa. How was he going to track her with the GPS? What was worse, she had disowned her family, so she couldn't go home. This made it more challenging for Zed to figure out where she could have gone. And far as Zed knew, she had very few friends in the city. 'Where are you, Jean?' Zed wondered.

"Ethan Lei..."

After thinking for a few seconds, Ethan appeared in Zed's mind. Dread filled Zed. Jean was hurt by what he had said and done. That would make it easier for Ethan to woo her.

An image of Jean crying in Ethan's arms flashed through Zed's mind. Just the thought made Zed's blood boil.

After considering all possibilities, Zed's shoulders sagged when he realized that Ethan's mention was the only reason he'd lost control when he saw the Weibo tweet.

"Maybe he knows where Jean is, " Zed muttered.

Although there was no way to track Jean, it was easy for him to get Ethan's address. But the moment Zed learned that Ethan lived close to the Wen family house, Zed gave up his intention of confronting Ethan.

After destroying all her relations with the Wen family, Jean would not go to that neighborhood, not even for Ethan.

Zed picked up his mobile phone to call Zack.

"Zack, please do me a favor. I need to find a person." Zed said.

Zack replied, "Do you want to find the person in the photo? How about coming here to have a drink with me? Don't waste your time with this nonsense. You know you can have any woman you want. And they are all happy to flock to you."

"It's urgent. I'll explain later. Please help me to find Jean first." Zed insisted.

...

At that moment, Jean was sitting on a cold stone chair in the park. Her eyes were filled with tears. She felt so lonely and mistreated.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Zed was just a time bomb waiting to explode at any time.
