Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 431

In an instant, Henry's face turned scarlet. He was furious but dared not say anything.

"I came today to tell you why Shirley was caught by the police. It is because Winner was killed by somebody Shirley had hired."

Jean stared at Henry without batting an eyelid and said it all at once.

"What did you say?" Henry froze on hearing Jean accuse his favourite daughter for doing an unspeakable act.

"Henry, you don't have dementia. So please hear this loud and clear. I don't want to repeat it." Jean mocked him as she glared back at Henry.

"Jean, I am advising you against becoming this arrogant." There was rage building up inside Henry but he held himself back deterred by Zed's presence in support of his wife. He ominously said,"As a famous proverb goes, 'Not everything that is good to eat is good to talk about'. I know you and Shirley can't stand each other since childhood. Now that she is in the custody of the police because of you, can't you just let go for once and stop framing her?"

"Though you are her father, it looks like you know nothing about your daughter." Jean's tone turned harsh and she watched Henry with icy eyes. "I don't have the capability to frame an innocent person or kill my own brother. And even if Zed has a lot of power, we wouldn't use it on such kind of wicked matters.

Henry, for how long do you want to keep fooling yourself? Shirley is your daughter. But am I not your daughter too? Alright. Forget about me. Was Winner your son? He was a member of the Wen family who died in suspicious circumstances. Don't you want to find out why Shirley would have him killed? Believe it or not, the truth will come out very soon. Then you will see that I have not lied to you."

Jean was shaking with indignation on confronting Henry. She pulled Zed's hand that she had been holding all this time, and started towards the exit.

Henry was gobsmacked by all the information Jean had heaped on him without giving him time to breathe and understand what all of this meant. He glowered as he saw Jean turn her back towards him.

He had always taken Shirley's side but deep down in his heart, he knew Jean wouldn't lie to him.

'So is this real?'

Seeing her leave so apathetically, Henry opened his mouth with difficulty,"You… Wait a minute…"

Jean wanted to ignore him but Zed stopped and signalled her to go back.

With great reluctance, Jean did.

In her heart, she knew that it was better to elaborate on that more.

Suspicion still lingered on Henry's face. He watched Jean and asked her again with fear,"Is it really true that Shirley had Winner killed?"

"Yes." Jean replied coldly.

"Why would she do that?" Horror was right there on Henry's face for anyone to see as he uttered these words.

Obviously, the truth had dawned upon him.

"Why? How did you end up in the hospital? Did you forget?" Jean asked and watched him as if it was amusing.

"I was admitted to the hospital…" Henry's expression changed. Terror appeared in his eyes. "Did Shirley start planning to kill Winner since then?"

At that time Wen Group was steeped in negative information. Many business partners withdrew capital, which led to a huge cash flow problem. And then the Wen Group got into hot water.

Henry was at the end of his wits, thinking that Jean would never agree to help them if he went to see her.

As he was wringing his hands and pulling his hair out, Shirley came to him, listing Winner's every offence from messing around with women to gambling and owing huge debts. Not only that, Joy had known about this for a long time and had been trying to clean up his mess ever since.

Henry livid at how things were falling apart after building his company for years, flew into a rage. The next moment blood rushed to his brain, he fell down and lost conciousness.

He hadn't seen Winner once since he woke up.
