Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 557

Avery really wanted to nod and tell Jean affirmatively that she was happy, but she knew deep down that not only was she deceiving them, but she was also deceiving herself, so she could only give Jean a bitter smile and left it at that without continuing her words.

Jean saw the expression on Avery's face and knew it better. Her face turned determined. "Avery, although we just met for the first time today, I felt like we got along very well. In fact, I gained to like you very much, so I would really appreciate it if we get to spend more time with you. If you don't want to follow Adolf's arrangements and leave here sooner than you want to, then don't leave the hospital tomorrow and stay here instead to have a good rest."

"Don't leave the hospital?" Leaning on the headboard of the bed, Avery was tempted to accept the offer. Then again, she looked at Jean in surprise and then at Zed, who was standing aside.

'What? How can she say that?

The Qi Group has already spent millions of dollars just to invite me to endorse their featured products.

Shouldn't Zed and Jean expect me to finish the advertisement earlier?

Why did Jean still insist on making me stay longer than intended?

Don't they know that their company has to pay for all the expenses, not just for me but also for my assistants, makeup artists, image designers, bodyguards, and the rest of my staff?

Our daily expenses include our meals and accommodation, and I'm certain that's a really huge expense, so if I stay here for one more day, their company will have to pay more. Who would be willing to bear such a loss?' Avery pondered as she found it a bit weird that they were willing to do such.

Zed noticed her concerns judging by her facial expression and how she looked at both him and Jean, so he assured her immediately, "Don't think too much, Avery.

As long as you want to stay here for a few more days, we are willing to support you."

After hearing the sincerity in Zed's voice, somehow, Avery's eyes were brimmed with tears.

Her beautiful eyes glistened and became particularly clear and charming, because of how moved she felt at that moment, and for a while, she was speechless.

"Thank you. Thank you very much. You don't know how much your assurance meant to me." Avery choked. She smiled at both of them, but immediately shook her head slightly. "But... I can't just stay here and be so selfish to leave all my staff alone. Adolf would surely be angry with me once he knows what I plan to do."

Even though Avery gave both of them an apologetic smile, anger still surged throughout Jean's body. She frowned at Avery in frustration after her refusal. "Fine, I don't care. I have already told you everything I wanted to say. Since you don't want to cherish your body and determined to risk and sacrifice your life to compromise for your acting career, we can't stop you." Jean then turned to Moore before calling his name for his attention. "Since Avery's assistants and bodyguards are coming soon, there's nothing we can do to help here. Let's go home. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the longer we stay here, the angrier and more uncomfortable we will be." Avery immediately was taken aback at Jean's outburst.

Jean didn't give her another glance as she limped towards Moore.

Surprised as well, Moore saw Jean's action and frowned tightly. He hurried over and helped her, and then went out without turning his head to look back at Avery.

Zed, who was left in the ward, showed a helpless smile. He turned to Avery and apologized, "Avery, I'm sorry. Jean's temper is a little thin. I hope you don't think about it too much, and I'll apologize on her behalf as well. Now that your manager has found you, please, take a good rest. I'll go, now. See you."

As soon as Zed finished, he immediately turned his back at her and hurried outside, not wanting to wait for Avery's response or reaction.

Avery was left alone inside the large and quiet room, still in shock about the events that had just transpired.

Her delicate face was full of melancholy, and there was a painful helplessness lingering in her beautiful eyes. She suddenly felt exhausted and after heaving a deep sigh, her eyes slowly closed as she lay down to rest.

Reluctant to turn her gaze back, Jean finally looked through the crack beside the door and saw that Avery was now lying on the bed asleep. She sighed and removed her gaze away and found out that both Zed and Moore were staring at her in surprise. She touched her face with both of her hands and asked, "What are you two looking at? Am I particularly beautiful today or what? Come on, let's go!"

Faced with such Jean, Zed was a little speechless for a while before he let out a chuckle. Moore, on the other hand, started to walk away after Jean's comments. Zed then walked over and carried her on his back before following Moore all the way to the parking lot.

As they entered the elevator, Jean couldn't help but think. Then, she suddenly patted her forehead and broke the silence among them. "Zed, Moore, do you think I spoke too fast and that's why Avery wasn't able to understand what I meant?"

'If not for that reason, why was Avery still so calm after my words? Avery had made it clear to Zed that she has loved Moore for so many years now.
