Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 212

Eva looked at Jean fiercely but spoke in a cold voice.

After hearing this, there was a "buzz" in Jean's head, which went blank.

Jean couldn't help but groan in her mind. 'Why am I so unlucky to be entangled with this bitch today? It is getting clear that Eva won't let me off easily. How bitter is this woman?'

"There's nothing I can do. Whatever you want to do in the future, don't think I'll help you again!" Jean looked up at Eva and said resolutely.

"Really? If Zed finds out that you were on a romantic date with two men tonight, I don't know what he would think. Let me remind you that whether Zed cares about you or not, in the public eye, you are his wife. A man, especially someone of Zed's status, won't allow anyone to taint his dignity and smear dirt on his name."

Eva saw that Jean wasn't affected by her manipulative tactics at all, so she immediately turned to a different strategy and threatened Jean.

Hearing Eva, Jean groaned again in her mind. 'It seems that Eva has become a little smarter. She already knows how to use the opportunity to blackmail me!'

"Words alone are no proof. Do you think Zed will believe your nonsense?" Jean straightened up and pretended to speak casually, hiding the anxiety in her voice. "If you want to find an opportunity to see Zed, I advise you to think of some other ways. Because Zed has a low regard of you, he won't believe you anymore! If..."

Before Jean finished talking, Eva smiled smugly and pressed on her cell phone. Suddenly, a familiar voice came clearly from the speaker. These were the recordings of what Jean just said to Ron.

"Mr. Qi, right? So, do you want to go after Maranda?"

"So, did you also come here to score a date with Maranda as your parents instructed you to do?"

"I dare not to give any advice. However, we are all young. This pile of crap "tradition" we are doing here is out of date. It won't do us any good to blindly follow what our parents tell us to do. So Mr. Qi, don't you want to find a girl that you love to happily spend the rest of your life with?"

Knowing that Eva had recorded her conversation with Ron Qi, Jean's expression changed instantly. Gritting her teeth, Jean looked at Eva's disgusting face. Eva smiled proudly, congratulating herself for a job well done.

"Sure, I'm not that foolish to directly show these videos to your husband. If I want him to be more disappointed and angrier with you, I should make some interesting edits. For example, it's a good idea to cut all the front parts which are good for you, and keep the later parts where you sound like a whore." Eva did not seem to see that Jean's face already turned as black as the bottom of the pan, so she continued casually.

Jean carefully recalled, 'What did I say in the later parts?' When she remembered, her face turned ghastly pale in an instant.

"I don't drink."

"I don't know you. So why should I drink a toast with you?"

'If Zed heard these, I would definitely not live to see the sun tomorrow!'

Jean felt cold sweat down her back and her clothes were getting wet in some places.

"Well, will you help me now?" Satisfied to see the complex expression on Jean's face, Eva asked happily.

"You..." Jean wanted to have the courage to refuse. But... 'If Zed got this from Eva, I would have a really hard time then.' Jean grew weak with fear and did not know what to do.

"Jean, what is there to consider for so long? I don't have much time nor patience to wait for you." Eva reminded Jean coldly.

"How do you want me to help you?" Jean asked dejectedly. Gritting her teeth, she finally yielded to the reality of Eva's advantage over her.

Eva smiled like a flower swaying in the wind.

"Good girl! As long as you keep this attitude, you will survive. To avoid undue delay, just ask Zed out for me tomorrow. I'll do the rest myself. I have to do this quick lest you play tricks on me." Eva thought deeply for a bit then said resolutely.

"Tomorrow is no good. Zed will go out with his childhood sweetheart tomorrow. I can't possibly ask him out to meet you, " Jean said without hesitation.

"Childhood sweetheart?" Eva was just about to flare up again, but after hearing these two words, she immediately switched to a thoughtful mode. She looked at Jean and asked, "Is it Jesse?"

"You know her?" This time, Jean was surprised.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Eva gave Jean an angry stare, and then a trance suddenly appeared on her face.

Jean couldn't help laughing at herself and shaking her head. 'It seems that it is me who don't understand the situation.'

Eva was Zed's first lover and Jesse was his childhood sweetheart. These two women were both from Zed's past. It was not surprising that they knew each other.

'If all the old and new lovers of Zed got together...'

"That would be so funny!" Eva muttered after a long time. Then she jumped and asked with an exciting expression, "Where will Zed and Jesse go tomorrow? Give me the address."

"I don't know. They haven't discussed it yet. But when I get home, I can ask them." Jean didn't know what bad idea Eva had in her head, and so she could only answer honestly.

"Jean, you are still such a coward! Other women have come to your house to bully you, but you still have the mood to help your friend here. I think you should help yourself out first, or you'd already be dead one day and still not know who did it." Eva shot a big glare at Jean and said angrily.

Jean shrugged a little innocently, leaving Eva to vent alone.

Jesse's inclusion in the picture was beyond Eva's expectation. This stressed her out.

"Well, that's settled. Tell me where they will go tomorrow as soon as you find out. Otherwise, you know clearly what I will do." After that, Eva was no longer in the mood to waste her time with Jean. Eva shook her cell phone in front of Jean, warning her not to forget what she had promised to do, and then walked away gracefully.

Seeing Eva's figure finally disappear from her view, Jean could not help but let out a sigh of relief. She got herself together and went back to her seat to join the others.

"Jean, are you okay?" Seeing Jean re-appear, Maranda quickly stood up and went to her, and asked with concern.

"I'm all right, " Answering weakly, Jean shook her head and sat down with Maranda.

This time, Jean's spirits were obviously down and she had become absent-minded.

What's more, after the unpleasant conversation they had, Ron and Calvin still looked embarrassed.

After sitting a little longer with them, Jean gave Maranda the signal that the date was over.

Taking the hint quickly, Maranda looked at Ron and Calvin, and smiled, "Very nice to meet you both tonight. It's getting late now, I'd better go back with Jean."

"Maranda, let me see you off." Ron stood up with a smile.

"Jean, let me see you off as well. I can drive you home actually, " Calvin said and gazed at Jean leisurely.

'What?'

Jean and Maranda exchanged doubtful glances with a feeling of anxiety and apprehension.

"It's dangerous for girls to go home alone at night. We'd better drive you home." After he said that, Calvin picked up his coat and grabbed Jean's hand to lead her outside.

"Maranda..." Jean called to her hurriedly.

"Calvin, please take your hand off Jean!" Maranda also felt anxious when she saw Jean's hand held by Calvin. She hurriedly walked toward Jean to pull her back and said to Calvin, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'll drive Jean home myself."

After that, an awkward smile appeared on Maranda's face.

"You're a girl yourself. It's dangerous for you to go home alone at night too." After he said that, Calvin was going to grasp Jean's hand again.
