Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 312 Why Did My Mother Die

'Why my mother died?'

As soon as Jean had said that, the two men present there in the ward were shocked and their facial expressions instantaneously changed, with their eyes and mouths slightly wide open.

Moore looked at Jean with a perplexed expression in order to understand what Jean had in her mind. But Jean was expressionless. She asked such a serious question without even hesitating for a minute. Only then did Moore understood earlier, why Jean annoyed Joy and Shirley. She wanted to make them leave the ward as soon as she entered it.

Jean's ultimate purpose was to ask her father about the real reason of her mother's death.

'But Jean's father is really weird!

Since he has woken up, why does he still pretend to be in coma?'

With a bit of amazement in his heart, Moore wondered while looking at Jean and Henry silently. He was dazed on this father-daughter combo as both them were acting so peculiarly, one more than the other.

On hearing Jean's question, Henry seemed to be in much more shock than Moore as his face was contorted in annoyance. He became angry, glared at Jean and said, "What do you mean? Your mother has been dead for so many years. Why are you still asking me about it? I have told you before. And I am going to say it again one last time. Your mother died of an illness."

"Did my mother really die because of an illness? What kind of illness she was suffering from? Tell me." Hearing Henry's reply, Jean immediately sneered, looked at Henry sarcastically and asked him coldly. She knew Henry was not telling her all the things and there was something wrong with what had happened to her mother.

"What kind of illness she was suffering from? I'm not a doctor. I don't know about that." At that moment, Henry looked even more angrier. "Anyway, she suffered an acute disease. After being infected for just a short period of time, she died. There was nothing we could do to save her. What do you mean by asking me about that after such a long time? Do you have doubts that I have been lying to you?"

After saying that, Henry glared at Jean in disdain. And it was clearly visible that he no longer wanted to continue the conversation on this topic.

His facial expression showed that he was not lying to Jean in this matter, and there was no need for him to lie to her since he didn't consider Jean as his daughter.

Jean stared at Henry. Noticing the impatience and disgust in Henry's face, Jean couldn't help sighing in her heart. But she was quite perplexed on listening to Henry.

Earlier, when she was about to lose her consciousness, by chance Jean heard Joy saying these words, "If I had known you were such a bitch, I would have killed you too..." Since then, Jean had a doubt in her heart. She wanted to clear out what Joy meant by saying that. She felt restless since then.

Was it the truth that her mother didn't die of some illness, but was murdered by someone? This question was poking in her mind continuously.

With this doubt in her heart, Jean rushed here with the hope to know more about her mother's death from Henry. She was sure that Henry would know about it all.

However, from Henry's attitude, it seemed that he himself didn't knew about that. He showed such indignation towards Jean even at such a serious matter.

'Is it because I am being too suspicious? Maybe what he said is the real truth?

No!'

Jean quickly rejected her thought. Maybe Henry was not at all aware of the plan played by Joy. It could be possible Joy did it all by herself and she fooled Henry in believing that Jean's mother died because of some illness. That could be the reason Henry behaved that way. When Joy uttered those words, in that circumstance, Joy was angry and irrational. Normally, truth which was hidden in a person's heart for many years could be exposed when the brain of that person gets out of control. So did Joy's at that moment.

Therefore, Jean was sure that the real reason of her mother's death could not be as simple as what her father told her. There was something behind it. And she was going to replace the bottom of it.

But she was not sure whether Henry knew about that and whether he was going to help her in her plan.

Since Henry couldn't offer her any useful information, to avoid alerting the murderer, Jean sighed lightly, looked at Henry with her brows furrowed and said,"I am going to investigate this matter carefully. As you are a smart person, you might be clear that I don't want this piece of information to be known to Joy and her children. But I don't understand why you still pretend to be in coma since you have woken up? What are you planning? Tell me.Father..."

At the end of her sentence, Jean finally called Henry Father with a loud and clear voice. Though she felt strange in her heart on calling Henry that way as he had disowned Jean.

On hearing the last word, Henry yelled with a bit of anger shown on his pale face, "Don't call me Father. I don't have a daughter like you." Once again Henry showed his rough behavior towards Jean. Since she was a child, he had never been considerate towards her. "Father, whether you admit it or not, I am still your daughter. You know it in your heart, and the whole world knows about it too. So you can not deny that. Do you prefer to treat Shirley who wants to covets the Wen Group as your daughter? Or do you prefer to believe in Winner who always loafs around? You prefer and believe those two to be your kids. But why can't you believe in me? Since childhood, I had never made you worry about me. I never created any kind of troubles for you. I did all the things you told me to do, but still you don't consider me to be your daughter. What more do you want me to do? Even when you were in coma, it was me who helped you wake up. I even cared for your business though I myself was suffering from illness. Without my help, how could you know about the true faces of people around you?

I know that you don't want to admit the facts. But there is no denying that I am the only child who does not covet your properties, take advantage of the identity of being part of the Wen family, or want to benefit from the Wen..."

"You have said too much. But how do I know whether you are being true or not? How do I know you are not making me fool? Don't you want to get any benefits from Wen family? Don't you want to rule over Wen Group? If not, then why are you doing this? Don't think that I know nothing about the fact that the relationship between you and Mr. Qi is not good right now. And he might abandon you right away. That's why you are here. Stop pretending to be righteous. Do you still want to deny that you are back just for taking benefit from the Wen Group? What more proof do you want to listen?" Henry interrupted Jean with disappointment and asked her with anger. He was unable to believe that Jean could be so virtuous. According to him, Jean was also like other greedy people, who just wanted to take over his business.

"You just came out of coma. You should not get emotional now. Don't think that much for now. Just relax." Jean sighed tiredly and explained to him slowly, "Since we have discussed the matter before, there's no need for me to hide anything further. So, I am going to make it clear to you. I am suspecting that my mother was murdered by someone and she didn't die of illness. Someone planned all this and made it appear that she was ill from chronic disease.If you are still a little guilty about my mother's death, help me in returning back to the Wen Group and replaceing out the truth behind all that happened. I want to uncover the culprit who took my mother away from me."

"After hearing your words, the fact is clear that you want to come back to the Wen Group. You have just found a good excuse to cover your greed..." Henry sneered. But when he uttered the last sentence, he looked at Jean strangely and said, "What evidence do you have? How can you say it was all a plot to murder your mother?"

"I can't tell you right now. If I am going to disclose it, it won't be good for my plan. Maybe some other time." Jean said frankly and looked at Henry with a gentle smile. "If you don't believe me, it's okay. But, I can swear you that, I am going back to the Wen Group just for replaceing out the truth of my mother's death. I am not interested in anything belonging to the Wen Group. With Moore testifying for me, maybe you can rest assured now!"

Jean said seriously while raising her hands to point towards Moore. She was talking in a business-like manner while clearing out Henry's doubt.

Henry still didn't believe Jean entirely. He glanced at Jean, and finally looked at Moore who stood beside Jean silently while wondering by himself about what Jean had just said.

"Father, you have no other choice but to believe me, whether you like it or not. It's only for your own good." Seeing Henry somewhat indecisive, Jean continued to persuade him. "Now no one can help you except me. Only after cooperating with me, you can come back into power in the Wen Group as soon as possible. Just try to understand that. Otherwise, your company will be in the hands of Joy or Shirley or Winner and they will bring it all down to the grounds. And you will be left with nothing. Of course. I am helping you not just for you but out of my selfish motives. I don't want Joy or Shirley to acquire the Wen Group. After all, it took my mother a lot of time and care in the past to bring the company to its height. I am doing all this just for her."

On hearing Jean's words, Henry's face immediately became pale. He didn't expect Jean to be so straightforward. It was clearly visible that he was hurt on listening that it was his wife who worked hard to bring the company to the heights.

He stared at Jean for a long while, with his lips trembling. Finally, he sighed and said, "Okay, I believe you this time. You can do whatever you are planning to do."

On realizing that Henry had agreed with her on going back to the Wen Group, a smile appeared on Jean's face, She reached out her hand towards Henry and said, "Father, I hope we have a good cooperation. And both of us can achieve whatever we are wishing for." Glancing at Jean's hand, Henry did not respond but looked away. He didn't want to have any kind of emotional interaction with Jean. He didn't even cared for what she might be feeling in her heart on his reaction. He only cared about his business and his reputation. As for Henry's reaction, Jean did not care about it. She had achieved a saturation point in her life where she no longer worries for people's actions. She retracted her hand peacefully without any trace of disappointment on her face, looked at Henry and asked seriously, "When are you going to wake up in front of them? You can't pretend to be in coma all the time. They are going to replace that you are out of coma sooner or later. Then, it will be troublesome for you to handle them. Moreover, I think you may have found out the answer to the question in your heart! You may also know clearly whether I have lied to you or not."

Henry raised his head, glared at Jean and said with a sneer,"Are you so concern to see that I am in conflict with Joy? It seems your desire is coming true at last. Jean, are you happy to see that our family is falling apart? You are always jealous of us."

Being questioned ruthlessly even after doing so much, Jean smiled and said, "Father, how can you treat me like this? Don't you have a shed of emotions in your heart? What I said is the truth. You may have said those words out of anger or just told me the true feelings of your heart. Anyway, I don't mind it. I have stopped caring for all those things long time ago and also I am not a child to take those words to my heart. Now I am telling you, no matter what happens to the Wen family, it has nothing to do with me. I will only try my best for the company. And that's only for my mother.I also woke you up just because of my mother."
