Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 167

He couldn't help but widely open his eyes when he saw Zed's angry and dark face. Ethan froze in his place to his shock.

How did Zed go there?

Selena promised that she would handle Zed, But where was she that time?

Before Ethan could get back to his senses, Zed forcefully hit him again.

Damn...

Since he was already in Zed's hands, he would not be able to get away from him.

When he thought about that, Ethan slowly closed his eyes, face turning dark and disappointed.

Zed didn't show mercy to Ethan. He hit him with all his strength.

Not long after, Ethan's face and body got bruised.

Jean felt sorry for Ethan and couldn't stand seeing what happened. So, she turned her eyes away from him.

That was Ethan's consequence for acting so rudely. He couldn't blame anyone else but himself.

But, Zed could kill him if he would continue beating him.

If Zed would ruin himself just because of Ethan, it would definitely not be worth it.

Thinking about that, Jean forced herself to step forward and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Zed, stop it."

Zed, whose face was still red because of his anger, abruptly stopped beating Ethan after he heard Jean's voice. Then, he turned to Jean with a surprised look and furiously asked her, "Are you begging for him?"

"No..." Jean knew that Zed must have misunderstood her. She hurriedly shook her head and gently said, "Even if he dies a thousand times, it won't take away my hatred for him. It's you that I'm worried about, Zed. If you beat him until he dies, you'll have to pay for it. Zed, think it over. It is not worthy. I don't want you put yourself into trouble. People like him will end up in misery. He will definitely be punished one day. I believe that karma is waiting for him."

"Jean, you are so weak." Zed mocked her while wearing his grumpy face. "You try to beg for him even after he did such a terrible thing to you, " Zed continued.

"I said that I'm not worried about him." Jean suddenly got anxious. She slowly walked towards Zed and held his hand, "Can't you see that? I'm losing my..."

Zed was stunned and got anxious after he felt the warmth on Jean's hand. He hastily lifted her and immediately strode outside.

"Don't worry, Jean. I'll take you to the hospital soon." Zed couldn't hide the worry on his face while he was trying to aid Jean.

"You don't have to take me to the hospital. I... I only need you, Zed." Jean mumbled while her eyes started to get misty. Then, her cheeks turned strangely red.

Seeing her situation, Zed reprimanded her in his heart. He couldn't help but think that she perhaps had already been sick in front of Ethan before he arrived.

However...

"I feel so hot..."

When she heard Jean's groan, Zed felt a shiver tingling down to his spine, and could hardly control himself. Then he asked her in an extremely hoarse voice, "You were this weak just now, yet he didn't do anything to you?"

"No, he didn't... I threatened him... I said that I will kill myself if he would do anything to me."

Zed's eyes squinted when he saw the blood mark on her neck. Suddenly, he felt like his heart was being squeezed.

'She was really so silly!

How could I doubt her just now?

Envy is really a terrible thing.'

Zed kicked the door with a great force and carried Jean into the room.

He gently put her on the bed and looked at her red face. He saw that Jean didn't feel well. He gazed at the cut on her neck for a while and said, "Don't put yourself to danger next time. Do you understand? No matter what happens, don't think about giving up your life. Just call me, I got your back."

"I understand." Jean nodded at Zed with a misty look. That time, though she slowly lost her consciousness, she could still feel Zed's concern.

"Sweetheart..." Zed softly called her with a tender look on his face.

An hour later, Zed saw that Jean was soundly sleeping. He got off the bed quietly, walked towards the balcony, and lit a cigarette.

He was frowned and felt terrified when he vaguely saw Jean's face through the white smoke that he blew.

If he didn't arrive in time, Jean would've been dead and leave him alone.

But Jean was so smart. She must be bluffing. She would definitely not do such a silly thing as giving up her life.

However, the fact that there were people who wanted to covet Jean alarmed Zed.

And since there was someone who had made a move to get her, Jean was not safe anymore.

Thinking of that, Zed immediately threw his cigarette away from the balcony and picked up his phone. Then, he dialed a number.

"From now on, you'll be responsible for keeping my wife safe 24/7. Don't leave her alone anytime."

After Zed finished his words, he hung immediately up the phone.

He walked towards Jean. He couldn't help himself but reach his hand to touch her fair and tender face.

The gentleness in his eyes immediately poured out.

Before he left the room, Zed soon took his hand back while he was still deeply looking at Jean's sleeping delicate face.

He walked into the next room where Ethan knelt down while being tied up.

Two men in black suits and sunglasses were also in the same room with Ethan. When they saw Zed walked in, the two men turned around, walked outside and closed the door.

"Zed, who exactly are you?" Ethan raised his heavily swollen face and asked him.

"You don't deserve to know who I am." Zed said after he grunted and sat down in front of Ethan.

"Haha... I already knew who you are even if you won't tell me." Ethan unexpectedly didn't get angry. Instead, he lifted the corner of his mouth and smirked. The expression he showed seemed weird. Then he added, "Zed, I suggest that you should carefully hide it. If Jean would know it, she will definitely leave you."

"Save it for yourself." Zed didn't accept his advice. After a moment, he forcefully kicked Ethan, which made Ethan curl up in pain on the ground. "Aren't you happy? I chose not to beat you very hard and chose to spare your life. Ethan, would you like to experience other ways of suffering? I've got tons of ways to make your life miserable, " said Zed.

"I believe you. What else can't you do?" Ethan replied without a slight concern on his face and laughed.

Zed frowned and disgustedly asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Am I not allowed to laugh?" Ethan squinted at Zed. After a while, he started to laugh out loud again and even shed tears out of his joy.

Zed saw Ethan's mad situation and thought that there's no need to talk with or hit him anymore. So Zed just stood up and ignored Ethan. When he was about to leave, Ethan opened his mouth, "Zed, remember my words, If you want to spend your life with Jean, don't let her know who you really are." Ethan shouted at Zed's back.

Upon hearing him, Zed paused for a second and slowly turned around. Then, he glanced at Ethan with his blank face.

That time, a creepy and arrogant smile appeared on Ethan's severely swollen face.

Zed snorted at him and apathetically replied, "It's none of your business."

After he finished his words, Zed walked out of the room without any hesitation.

When he saw that Zed was leaving, Ethan wore an evil smile. His swollen eyes seemed to glimmer.

"Zed, do you really think I was just bluffing? If you think so, then you are wrong. God is fair. You and Jean are not meant to be together. Hahaha..."

Ethan couldn't help but laugh out even though it consequently pulled the cut on his face apart. Because of that, he trembled and curled up in pain.
