Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 336 What A Joke

'But why is Shirley as annoying as a fly?' wondered Jean. Jean was not a dessert, but Shirley somehow managed to swarm near her. It was obvious Jean hated being around her, yet Shirley never took any of these clues.

Deep down, Jean knew that Shirley was aware of her distaste. Yet she bothered Jean and received some satisfaction from doing so. 'Why is she doing this?

Why can't she just go away from here?' thought Jean pleadingly.

"Can't you tell that we have no interest in talking with you?" asked Maranda unafraid. Maranda knew that Jean was too nice to say anything, hence wanted to help her.

Hearing this comment, Shirley eyed Maranda coldly and sneered. "Who are you? Who gave you the right to meddle between me and my sister?"

"Your sister? What a joke!" Maranda said, letting out a sneer. "Jean, have you ever treated her as your sister?"

On hearing her words, Jean shook her head without hesitation. "I have already broken up with the Wen family. As a result, I have nothing to do with her."

"Jean, how could you say that?" Shirley replied, feigning sadness.

"Why shouldn't I say that?" Now Jean raised her voice a notch and challenged Shirley.

"You..." Shirley stared at her fiercely. Seeing Maranda and John frowning and gazing at her unhappily, she tried to calm down. "Jean, you will regret treating me like this one day."

"I will wait for it." Not minding her threat, Jean answered casually.

"Well, let's wait and see." After that, Shirley proudly walked to the crowd, acting like she owned the place.

"Oh, disgusting. Why do we meet her everywhere?" Maranda muttered it under her breath unhappily.

"Everyone attending the party tonight has an invitation. She must be invited by someone." John replied, looking equally angry.

Thinking of something, Jean felt uneasy.

She couldn't help looking in the direction of Benjamin. But there was only Dan beside him, and Jesse had disappeared from the spot. With her expression suddenly altered, Jean hurried to walk.

"Jean, where you go?" Maranda was shocked to watch Jean move so quickly.

"I'm going to the restroom." As soon as Jean finished, she sprinted to the corridor, not wanting to waste any time.

"Did you notice Jean? She is acting weird ever since she saw Shirley," commented Maranda, as soon as Jean was out of sight.

"Jean must be wondering who invited Shirley." John answered, looking thoughtful.

"Who can it be? Don't you know?" Maranda asked, expectantly thinking John knew the answer to this.

"Oh, I don't know. I'm not in charge of inviting guests." John answered while he smiled.

Not replaceing any answer, Maranda could do nothing, so she let out a dejected sigh.

On the other hand, Jean searched everywhere but couldn't replace Shirley anywhere. This disappearance made her feel very uneasy.

She looked around worriedly while thinking about this horrible situation she was in.

Feeling lost, she tried to comfort herself by saying that it was just her mind over thinking the matter.

After all, the people gathered here were either rich or powerful.

Jesse wouldn't get any good out of creating trouble here.

What's more, Shirley wasn't a fool to fall prey for such a plan.

Thinking about this, Jean felt a little more relaxed and composed.

When she saw the restroom was not far from here, she walked toward it.

Just after she sat on the toilet, Jean heard two women walk in.

At first, she didn't pay any attention.

This was a big party and she thought it was ordinary for two women to come in together.

"Who asked you to create a scene now?" A deliberately lowered voice came from the next stall. It made Jean hold her breath and forced her heart to listen properly.

Although the person who spoke lowered her voice, Jean was familiar with it.

'Who can it be?

Jesse?' her mind questioned.

"I did not call you here so that you can make yourself a fool in front of people. You are aware that there are so many news media present today. Can you act more dignified please? Please don't destroy my plan!" Jesse continued to blame her partner. "But I replace it hard to control my hatred towards Jean." When Shirley spoke, Jean realized her doubts turned out to be right.

A bitter smile made its way through her face. 'Sure enough, Shirley was invited by Jesse, and she is here to create trouble for me.

I wonder what is waiting for me today!' thought Jean with distress.

Jean continued listening to their conversation, wanting to replace out more details.

"Let me tell you, if you fail tonight, I won't leave you!" Jesse threatened sharply. "You know I'm not kidding. Now, it is your turn to act properly."

As her voice disappeared, another crisp sound of high heels hitting the tiles came back.

Holding her breath, Jean waited for the second pair of legs to leave, but that didn't happen. Shirley muttered to herself all alone, "Who do you think you are? I am doing this only because I need your help, otherwise who would want to work with a manipulative bitch like you!"

'Help Shirley?

What is Jesse helping Shirley with?'

Now Jean's mind was filled with question marks, but she tried to calm herself down.

Unfortunately, Shirley didn't speak anymore and left the washroom just like Jesse did a couple of minutes ago.

The restroom regained its peace, as if what happened just now was just Jean's dream. She had to pat on her cheeks to become sober. Although she still didn't know what Jesse and Shirley would do, she came to know that it was Jesse who invited Shirley to attend the banquet. 'Jesse, I have never realized that you can be so evil. You brought Shirley to deal with me tonight?

And you want me to suffer public humiliation?

No matter what tricks you are going to play, I am not afraid of you anymore!'

Jean thought coldly, got up and went outside.

She washed her hands thoroughly. Then she went forward and started to dry them.

Lost in thoughts, she walked without looking up and crashed into someone's arms.

Jean grunted with pain and rubbed her nose to ease off the pain.

But before she could say something, she saw Zed looking at her with a gentle smile. She was so astonished to see him and her anger vanished.

'It is women's washroom, so why is Zed here?

Was he there for me?

Did he just meet Shirley and Jesse?'

"Zed... how long have you been here?" Jean asked confusedly.

"Just now. But how can you walk without looking up?" Zed frowned and pulled her into his arms, rubbing her nose for her.

"Then did you see other women come out the restroom?" Feeling a little awkward, Jean asked uneasily.

"Other women? What do you mean?"☐☐☐☐
