Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 318 He Won't Lay A Finger On You

'How could he say something like that?

After all of that craps that we have been through, how can we act like nothing ever happened between us?

Are we really going to live together? Let alone under the same roof but even in the same room? Does he want me to share a bed with him too?'

Jean looked at Zed angrily and said, "Am I hearing it correctly or am I somehow misunderstanding it?"

"You aren't misinterpreting it at all," Zed said as he knew what was Jean thinking. He stared at her without any expressions for a while and continued slowly,"I said it without any doubt." Zed then turned around and walked towards his office.

Jean was left all alone. She clenched her fist and glared at him.

It seemed as if he had ordered her. After what he said, every other possibility was out of the question.

'Zed, how could you do this to me?'

Tears rolled down her eyes. She became red with anger.

'This is all because of your grandpa. I have returned only for your sake. I didn't want him to worry about you anymore. I also didn't want to make things harder for you. But..

I have returned to you without a single word and instead what did you do?

You have no respect for me at all.

You can't even be a little polite to me.

Why are you doing this to me?'

she thought to herself. After this, she forced herself to walk towards the office.

As Jean took a few steps towards the office, the guestroom door flung open. To Jean's surprise, Jesse's face came through it.

Jean ignored her and continued walking forward.

Clearly, Jesse's target was Jean. As Jean ignored her, she was left with no choice but to open her mouth and say,"Jean!"

Jean stopped suddenly. She frowned and glared at Jesse. "I have nothing to say to you."

"I haven't said anything yet. Why are you in such a hurry to push me away?" Jesse said as she walked right in front of Jean. She sighed and said, "You don't look good. If I were you, I would not be upset like you. Zed is not in his best mood today. You are better off without him today." "Do I look like his punching bag?" Jean sneered with angry as she looked at Jesse,"Jesse Tang, you two have slept together? Why don't you set us free by telling your relationship, with Zed, to Grandpa Benjamin?"

"Jean!" Jesse said with a surprise. Her voice shaking, she said, "How could you say that about Zed and me? We were drunk that night, and that's it! I was trying to explain it to you but.."

"We have met a few times since that day, but you didn't explain anything," Jean quipped.

"I have been through a lot these couple of days. Things were pretty messy. I never thought you would misunderstand something like this," Jesse said with a face full of astonishment.

"Jesse Tong, please quit your act," Jean said as she was sick of Jesse's drama and her attitude showed that she was impatient. She said, "If you were trying to stop me from doing anything, then I would suggest you hold your breath. I will not listen to every word he says. I will not compromise now."

"You have no choice but to listen to Zed," Jesse interrupted Jean with a grim face. "The rumours about how impressive Benjamin is are all true, but he is getting weak day by day. He is the most precious person to Zed and Zed will never let anything harm him. Everything was different until Benjamin did not know about you but now when he does, Zed cannot let him know that there is something wrong between you two. So, don't waste your time on Zed. He would never listen to you. Jean, If you really care about Zed and this family, you should cooperate and do as Zed says."

Jean was shocked to hear what she said. Her face turned grim and she said, "Since Benjamin's health is at stake, why didn't Zed stop him coming here? The Qi Group is already in a tough situation. It would not take much longer for Benjamin to replace out." "This was all your boss's fault. God knows why he suddenly went to the Imperial Capital and invited Benjamin to come here." At this, Jesse's face flushed with anger and she replied.

"My boss?" Jean raised her eyebrows with surprise and said, "I have heard this from John. He said that my boss invited Benjamin. Benjamin has been living a secluded life. I doubt whether he would accept my boss's invitation."

Jesse gave Jean a speechless look and sighed. "It is not your place to know much about the relations between Sonny and Qi Family. It is for sure that Sonny was the one who brought us into this situation. If we didn't know him in the first place, then Zed and I would have seriously thought he was trying to harm Zed."

After hearing this, Jean frowned. Even Jesse did not say much on this matter.

'Nobody knows why Zed bought the shares of our company or why Benjamin visited H City. But we can conclude that both have nothing to do with me, couldn't we?

Let's say I am slightly responsible for it but I can't take the whole blame, can I?'

she thought. Jean immediately felt relieved.

She owed nothing to Zed and wanted to get this weight off of her shoulder.

She felt much better after she got to know the relationship between her boss and Qi Family.

"So, did I make it clear? I really hope you would look out for Zed, whether you care about him or not. Zed, has worked late every day, since that accident. Even if you two have slept together, he won't ever lay a finger on you," Jesse said.

"That's it!" It was Jean's turn to say something. She looked at Jesse angrily, "Jesse Tang, how much do you hate me that you are insulting me like that?"

"I am just telling you the truth," Jesse ignored the anger in Jean's voice, and said calmly. "You are the one who bought all of this crap into our lives and Zed is the one cleaning up your mess. Jean Wen, if I were you, I would not be so heartless with every single person around me."

The anger was hidden in Jesse's eyes. She wished to tear Jean apart, as Jean was the one to be blamed for all this.

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted me to act like?" Jean replied and tried to calm down. "If Zed and I are still in love, shouldn't you worry?" Jean sneered and continued.

"What are you talking about? You make it sound like I was the one who led you into those troubles," Jesse looked at Jean ferociously and said, "Jean Wen, even your friends proved it. We don't buy it at all. Maranda Qin was in trouble too, all because of you." "You were the one who led them all out to organize a press conference. So what? Do you love taking pleasure in their sufferings now?"
