Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 541

Moore and Jean exchanged looks and found them both surprised and confused as if mirroring each other's expressions.

Despite knowing that she wasn't welcome at the table, Edna still sat down and interacted with them.

Judging from how arrogant Edna always was, it was unbelievable that she was acting like a shameless rascal now.

'Where is her grace? Where is her elegance? Her charm?

Where is her demeanor?'

Jean thought and was really confused to the point that Edna noticed how Jean's eyes sparkled in confusion.

"You don't have to look at me that way. I don't think I am in the wrong here. Besides, I am older than both of you after all. Isn't it disrespectful of you to treat me in such an impolite manner?"

Edna asked, giving them a sarcastic smile.

Jean swallowed a bile that formed on her throat, looked at Moore, and shook her head confusingly, hoping that Moore would get what she was trying to say in that gesture.

Moore looked at her and back at Edna, trying to suppress his rage and smiled coldly. "Since you think we have treated you badly, why are you still here? Mrs. Bai, I think I have already made myself clear. I don't like you, wait no. In fact, I loathe you. If you still have a sense of shame, you shouldn't be sitting here, humiliated by us."

"Moore," Jean said, reaching her hand out to hold Moore's. Her eyes widened in surprise at what he said.

Yes, she also hated Edna and didn't want to see her or even talk to her, but what Moore said to Edna would get himself into trouble.

'Why could't he hold it for a little longer?' Jean thought, worried that Edna might cause them trouble for Moore's rash words. Edna held her head and position high enough for nobody could rival with her. Once she got mad, everyone involved would suffer.

However, when Jean heard what Edna said next, she realized that Edna was more shameless and cunning than she had thought.

"If you don't want to see me, then why are you still here in the H City? Hanley believes that you will give away the Bai family's property, but I don't. As far as I know, he is also the only one who believes it." Edna paused and drew closer at Moore enough that he could hear her loud whisper. "You'd better tell me everything, Moore. If you answer well, I will take care of you. No foul play behind."

At that very moment, Edna had revealed her true face and questioned Moore in a cold voice.

'So, this was her real purpose, ' Jean thought, frowning.

She suddenly realized something, and slowly anger mounted on her face.

'Why does everyone in the Bai family have to humiliate Moore in this way?

Why are they accusing him of coveting their property?

Why do they see Moore in this way?

Is it because he is poor and owns nothing? No! They don't have the right to look down on him.'

Jean opened her mouth to talk. "We..." However, she was interrupted by Moore before she could refute Edna.

"I don't need you to believe," Moore said, staring back with the same cold eyes at Edna. "If I were you, I would not stay here. If you keep annoying me, I'll change my mind and get my portion of property back at any time." Moore's eyes pierced Edna's.

Meanwhile, in her mind, Jean applauded Moore for his witty comeback.

To deal with people like Edna, it was necessary to adopt a harsh tactic, so as to make sure that you got into someone's head and not just in and out on one ear.
