Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 493

Moore pondered for a while. 'If that was a person that made Zed act with discretion, then he must have a similar social status to Zed.

If that was the case, would Leo be in danger?'

Moore had seen Zed's bodyguards around him. All of them had topnotched fighting skills that the ordinary bodyguards were far behind to catch up with, so he thought it would be such a threat.

Moore made a mental note to discuss with Jean about letting Leo stop doing that job.

'Since Zed has never given up looking for the real culprit, we don't need to waste the effort now.' Moore shook his head and sighed under his breath.

On the other hand, Jean started to get worried after noticing the silence that enveloped both Zed and Zack right after Zed's words. She walked over and composed herself before breaking the silence. "What were you two talking about just now?"

Both Zed and Zack turned abruptly and looked alarmed. After seeing Jean and Moore, the two of them relaxed a little bit.

Zed looked at Jean with a confused expression and asked,"Why are you here? Did you both fly? How could you two walk without a sound?" Zack chuckled to help lighten up the mood.

Ignoring this joke, Jean fixed her eyes on Zed. "If we let you know we were here long enough, how can I get to know the one - wait, what was her name? Christina? Who is she?"

"So you heard," Zed said, who looked at Zack with the same alarmed expression. Zed sighed and smiled bitterly at Jean. "Christina was a friend of Magnolia and Jesse, who played together with them since childhood. Zack went to see Magnolia lately, and they talked about their past. That is why he mentioned her name."

As soon as Zed finished, he gave a secret wink at Zack, making sure that it was not deliberate.

Zack understood Zed's intention immediately. He turned to Jean and gave her a reassuring smile. "Yes, that's right. Back then our neighborhood was really fun. There were more than a dozen of kids that were near my age. We hung out, did mischievous things, and messed around when we were young. Recalling then, we did have a good time together." Zack nodded at this.

"However, we are all grown-ups now, and busy with our own business. We rarely contact each other. Frankly, I really miss the innocent and carefree times we once had. The times where there weren't any worry, no competition or scheming against others for whatsoever reasons…"

Jean stopped listening as Zack trailed on about the advantages of their carefree past. She noticed how intentional it was for Zack to shift the topic. Because of that, Jean was more certain that they knew the person behind the scenes of the video incident.

It was just at that moment, that if Zed didn't want her to know, she couldn't force him.

Jean suddenly felt her heart turn heavy, but she just showed some curiosity on her face to hide what she was truly feeling inside. After Zack finished his words, she turned to Zed and asked,"So, why didn't you two stay with Father in the living room watching TV instead of coming out here? Is your childhood memories too confidential? Do both of you have anything to talk about in secret? If so, Moore and I will give you two some privacy."

After saying that, Jean turned her back from both of them and started to drag Moore back to the house.

The truth was that she didn't feel all right with it, and she felt anger rising inside her in full steam.

'Zed always thinks that it is better to keep me from knowing the facts.

While I, on the contrary, tell him everything without reservation!

It is really unfair!' Jean thought, pissed at Zed for always holding back information from her.

Zack stopped Jean by holding her wrist. Jean turned to look at her wrist and into Zack. "Stop. What secret do two big men have to talk about anyway?" He turned to Moore and grinned. "Is this gentleman here Moore? The one Zed has always mentioned about? Wow, he really is distinguished."

Moore turned back around as well after hearing Zack mention his own name. He stretched his hand out and greeted him. Zack removed his grasp from Jean's wrist, who now crossed her arms on her chest in impatience. Zed looked at her and gave her a smile. "Hello, I am indeed Moore, but I can't really call myself distinguished."

Zack laughed at this and shook Moore's hand while introducing himself with a smile. "Well then, hello, Moore. I am Zack Xing. If you find my name awkward to say, you can call me Mr. Xing."

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Xing," Moore greeted back, trying to maintain polite.
