Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 447

So Joy had changed her mind. All details of her crime were crystal clear to Jean so she knew she had to die sooner or later. In her heart, she thought it was better to ensure that Shirley would survive.

Now when she heard Jean threatening her saying she will soon see the dead body of Shirley, Joey's face turned as white as a paper. Her weak body started to shake like a withered leaf in the autumn wind.

"Jean, I am not compromising because of your threatening words. I just don't want my poor Shirley to lose her life. Okay, I promise you. As long as you can guarantee that Shirley will be fine, I will tell you the truth."

Joy finally made up her mind to come clean.

"Let's go. I think it is time for us to go downstairs now." Zed stood up and asked Moore to go with him.

"Maybe we should stay a little longer. Joy may get suspicious if we enter so soon…" Moore replied, trying to stop Zed.

Zed looked at Moore with a little surprise and then he nodded. "Okay, then we will wait for a few more minutes. I believe Jean will call us soon…"

Before Zed could finish his words, they heard Joy's loud voice. "You ask Zed and the other guy named Moore to come over here. Only after Zed promises me personally about Shirley being alive, I will be satisfied. Jean, I can't trust you now,"

Joy said to Jean, not caring about her feelings at all.

"I know." Jean grimaced and took out the cell phone. "I will call Zed and ask them to come down," she said.

Joy nodded and relaxed hearing her response. After she saw Jean make the call, she asked with puzzlement,"There is one thing I don't really understand. When you already know what had happened many years ago, why do you ask me to tell it to you again personally?"

"Because…" Jean watched Joy's face and hatred appeared in her eyes. "I need to really hear it from your own mouth. I need you to admit what you had done so as to give justice to my mom in heaven. This is the least I could do for her as her daughter."

Jean fixed her eyes on Joy steadily and there was an unwavering determination in her voice.

Joy was startled and a little afraid. At that moment, there was fierce hatred in Jean's eyes. It never occurred to her that Jean's aim was so simple.

However, this simple act reflected the depth of love Jean had for her mother.

Joy thought if her daughter Shirley loved her half as much as Jean loved her mother, then she wouldn't have ended up here today.

'Why didn't I get this love?

Yvette died when Jean was very young and Jean probably had no recollection of her mom. Her memory of her mother should be nebulous.

However, she is still willing to take risks in order to get justice for her mother, ' Joy realized.

Joy cried a little inside and eyed Jean differently for the first time. Jealousy towards Yvette surged up in her heart.

'It is ridiculous that twenty years later, I become jealous of you again, Yvette, ' thought Joy.

Thinking of the absurdity of it, Joy laughed out loud. Suddenly, the laugh changed into tears.

Zed and Moore came downstairs just in time to witness Joy's miserable side. For a second, the two of them stood startled.

'Why is she crying all of a sudden?

Did she realize her own sins? Were they tears of guilt?' wondered both.

"We are here. Sorry that we can't help you save Shirley," Zed said wanting her to stop crying.
