Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 623

Avery shook her head nervously and said to Moore with a serious note in her voice, "Moore, if you have to apologize to the assistant director, I would like to go with you. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be in a fight with him in the first place. So I should be the one to apologize to him and not you."

"Avery! "

Jean startled from what she just learned. Her eyes got bigger as she stared at them with astonishment.

'How did things become like this?' Jean thought.

Jean had no other way but to look at Zed for some answers. Obviously, she had already forgotten that she said she didn't want to talk to him moments ago.

Zed saw Jean's questioning look, so he leaned over and assured her, "I'll take care of this. You don't have to worry!"

"Zed..." Moore stepped in and was about to tell him that he didn't need to do that, but Zed raised his hand to signal him to stop.

"Just stay right there, Moore. I can handle everything. Avery, you need to stay with him. I'll be back soon." Zed was walking toward the exit as he spoke with his strong and confident voice.

Moore and Avery wanted to follow suit but Jean stopped them. "It would be best if you two will stay here. Let Zed take care of this problem. I am confident that he can handle this. We should trust him."

"Jean, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you and Zed," Moore apologized to Jean as he felt remorseful. He knew too well that he had brought trouble for them again.

Jean shook her head and assured him, "Moore, what are friends for? You were never a trouble to us. But I'll be mad if you keep saying that you are."

"Jean, I'm a little worried about Zed. I'll go and have a look. You can stay here with Moore,"

Avery stared at Jean and said with her distressed voice.

"That's fine. You may go!" Jean nodded her head slowly to Avery.

Avery bowed her head with gratitude to Jean and muttered, "Thank you." Then she hurriedly walked to the direction where Zed left.

Jean felt a little strange. She couldn't quite understand why Avery followed Zed, considering he pointed out earlier that she was supposed to stay with Moore. Why did she need to see the assistant director?

Moore seemed to have read her mind. He took a deep breath and made a remark, "I think Avery is just worried that the assistant director will not accept Zed's apology, on behalf of me and Avery. If that happens, then she can step in and apologize to him personally."

Jean never thought of that, but she clearly understood it now. She waited for few seconds and nodded approvingly.

After all, it was partly Avery's fault. Moore fought with the assistant director to protect her.

So it would be best if she could be the one to apologize to the director.

Aside from that, Jean felt that Avery didn't trust Zed that he was capable to handle this problem alone.

"Also, Adolf came to the hospital with us, but he hasn't informed us if this issue is settled yet. I think the assistant director is not easy to persuade." Moore gave out another sigh of despair.

"You have always been calm and collected. But why are you so impulsive today?" Jean turned back at Moore and asked. "Though I know it's not your way of handling things but I'm glad you stood up for Avery and confronted the assistant director. You didn't have to do that but that was brave of you."

Jean's eyes fixed on Moore. She was looking at him now quite intently with her growing suspicious.

'Well, I can never hide things from you, ' Moore quipped to himself with a smirk.

Indeed, this was one complicated mess that no one wished to be in.

Moore had the urge to hit the assistant director before he insulted Avery.

Moore quickly recalled the incident that happened a few hours ago. He was in a restroom when he overheard two men talking about Jean. One of them was the assistant director.

He was smoking with another man probably in his late forties, thin and bald. Moore couldn't help but overhear what they were talking about.

They mentioned almost all women that were present at the studio. They even made lewd remarks at some point.

Moore didn't really mind and couldn't care less. After all, he was the director and he didn't want to get into his way.

But when the assistant director mentioned Jean's name, Moore stopped dead and couldn't contain his anger.

"Have you seen Mr. Qi's wife?" the assistant director said. "She is very attractive and she behaved like as if she came from well-bred family. But everyone in H city knows that she climbed up to Mr. Qi's bed and seduced him. She lured him like a skillful tigress hunting its prey. And mind you, Mr. Qi only wanted to insult the people in the Wen family so he allowed himself to get trapped in their marriage. That woman is a heartless bitch, who is quick to jump at anything to get whatever she wants!"
