Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 322 You Better Not Force Me

As soon as Jean mentioned divorce, the veins on Zed's forehead seemed to pop out. Instead of answering, he merely glared at her with burning eyes. Jean was taken aback by the sight of his furious face. To this day, she still didn't know why he immediately went into a

rage every time she mentioned divorce. It was totally puzzling.

'Does he care so much? Is it about our marriage or me?

If so, why does he treat me that way?' She thought.

Jean shook her head at these thoughts, as it was evident what she was thinking wasn't possible. Sighing due to his intense gaze, she said, "I came back because of your grandfather. I may still be your wife in name and for everyone else. So I want to at least perform my own duties well. But Zed, do you really want to ignore all problems between us just for your self-respect? That is so ridiculous. Won't you divorce me especially after how unhappy you are with me? Do your reputation and self-respect really mean that much to you?" Jean asked him intensely.

Her words seemed to stir up some feelings inside Zed. The anger in his eyes slowly subsided. As he noticed Jean's bitterness and the pain on her face, he was overwrought with grief and guilt.

'Jean, why can't you understand me? I am unwilling to let go of you, because I love you.

But now, you won't trust me even after I've shown you my heart.

And all those things that happened between us might have been destined, 'Zed thought.

"But in any case, I will not settle for divorce no matter how you think of me," Zed declared in a firm voice. Immediately, he turned his back on Jean again, as if he wanted to change the topic completely.

Wearing a gloomy face, Jean glared at his back. She was so angry that she wanted to slap him hard on the back of his head, just to get him level-headed, if nothing.

'How can there be such a person in the world? Apparently, it has become unnecessary to keep our marriage anymore, but why is he still insisting that he will not divorce?

Does he want to reconcile himself to this failed marriage? Or is there some other reason for his insistence?' Jean thought.

"Why are you unwilling to divorce?" Jean finally dropped this question on Zed after careful thinking. The puzzlement and curiosity were too much for her. Waiting for his reply, she fixed her gaze on the side of his face. 'Why?'

Zed smirked. Gradually, he turned over and replied to her face to face, "What if I say that I am unwilling to divorce you because I love you? Will you trust me?"

'I trust you,' Jean mumbled to herself.

Staring at him, she nearly uttered these words loudly. In the beginning, she had been very excited and glad to hear what he had said. But when she noticed the sardonic smile on his face, the joy in her heart suddenly disappeared. 'It seems like I have been amorous, ' Jean murmured upon seeing him sneer.

"You and Jesse..." Jean stammered as she found so hard to continue. She looked down before she added in a very low voice,"If the two of you really love each other, divorce will be our only choice, or else you won't be able to give her a birthright..."

"You are so kind to remind me of that. Thank you," Zed replied in a furious tone as if a heavy storm were coming. He glared at her with his gloomy eyes and continued, "Oh, I almost forgot! I've heard that you went beyond your bounds these days even in the hospital. There were always some men going to the hospital to visit you, giving you warm greetings and care. Jean, now you are so anxious to divorce me. Are you so eager to hook up with other men?

Let me remind and warn you. You will be my wife as long as I don't agree for the divorce. You better keep your nose clean. So far, what you have suffered is only a piece of cake. If you dare cross a line in our marriage, you will suffer far worse than what you could possibly imagine!"

As soon as she heard his threats, Jean's eyes were suddenly wide open. She furiously glared at him and said, "Thank you for your concern. I will not sleep on the same bed with any other man no matter how undutiful I am. You have no right to judge or blame me. Since you admit that I am still your wife, then you have to save your own ass. So for your own sake, don't be caught by me again in bed with some other women!"

"You......" Zed was infuriated by her words. He abruptly grabbed her arm, flying into a rage and retorting, "Don't you understand? I told you again and again that things didn't happen as you saw that day. Both Jesse and I got drunk..."

Zed consciously fell silent and closed his mouth right away when he realized that he was trying to explain.

He knew that his explanations made no sense as long as he didn't have any proof.

He thought that Jean would look down on him with greater contempt if he continued to explain without evidence.

As he had thought, she simply chuckled and sneered coldly at him for his baseless explanation. "Do you think you can completely stand aloof from all that has happened just with the excuse of getting drunk? Can you do anything as you wish when you get drunk? Zed, you restrict me a lot in our marriage. But what about you? Ask yourself and your conscience. Can you really face me without any guilt?"

"Why can't I face you without guilt?" Zed had completely lost his temper and was glaring at her in fury. "Have I ever treated you badly? Think about your family. Every single one of you comes to me and disturbs me every week as if I have done something wrong to you. When didn't I deal with them and handle the situation as you wished? When did I act against your will?

I shouldn't have spoiled you and done everything as you told me to had I known that you were so impervious to my care. I should have been rude to them, so they wouldn't dare show up and annoy me over and over again."

"Now, you have finally told me the truth." Jean was heartbroken on hearing his words. "You have been disgusted with the Wen Family since the very beginning. Now, you have finally told me the truth."

"I..." Zed stammered, as if he had no idea how to respond. In actuality, he had said those words without meaning them. He hadn't wanted to mention her family at all.

But since those harsh and irritating words had come out of his mouth, his further explanation would just make little sense.

"Anyway, the Wen family is the place where I have been brought up and grown up. This fact can't be changed no matter how you look down upon the Wen family or how you think about it. Even if you can't tolerate them, I am a part of the Wen family, whether you like it or not! Since you disagree with the divorce, I should remind you beforehand that I will go back to the Wen Group a few days later. And I will go there no matter what! I don't care if you agree or not. Although I hope that you won't stop me but even if you will, I will still go there," Jean said in a harsh tone while glaring at him furiously.

Zed had been filled with remorse upon saying those words. But as soon as Jean spoke to him that way, he involuntarily looked up and asked her in confusion,"What are you going there for?"

"It is none of your business," Jean grunted coldly.

"Jean......" In face of her snorting, anger suddenly mounted inside Zed, and he said, "You better not bite the hands that feed you..."

"I have been biting the hands that feed me all the time," Jean replied back without any fear and with a fixed gaze on him.

Staring at her fury, Zed let out a helpless sigh and said, "Okay. Can we just talk with each other calmly? Tell me why you want to go back to the Wen Group. Henry is still in coma at the hospital. Do you know how dangerous your situation will be if you go back to that company?" Zed tried hard to suppress his anger and persuaded her as calmly as he could.

Jean felt a little regret when she discerned Zed's concern for her on his face.

She thought that she shouldn't have told him about her decision to go back to the Wen Group on impulse. Telling him her decision not only caused Zed to worry about her, but also upset herself.

"I..." Jean hesitated for a while. At last, she shook her head and replied, "I don't want to say anything more."

"Do you believe that? Alright, I will ask someone to watch out for you if you don't tell me why you plan to go back there. That way, you will never get a chance to go out of the house!" Zed was seriously threatening her this time!

"Zed, don't make me hate you." Jean was totally annoyed now by his threats.

"You better not force me to do that too." Zed's gaze was still fixed on Jean. He insisted on getting an answer from her.

At his insistence, Jean realized that Zed wouldn't let her go if she didn't tell him why she wanted to go back to work in the Wen Group.

On the other hand, she was moved a little by what he had said. Evidently, he had shown his concern for her.

Jean was sure now that he cared about her even now.

"Henry has come back to his senses." She suddenly let out the truth in a calm tone, reassuring him. "So now, you can rest assured!"0000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
