Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

"What do I mean?" Eva sneered and raised one of her eyebrows, "I was kind enough to be friendly with you. I even treated you as my best friend despite the fact that you took Zed away from me. But you didn't cherish him. Jean, you hurt Zed and damaged his reputation. Now you come to his company to cause more trouble. Do you have a conscience?"

Hearing this, the employees of Zed's company glared at Jean and began whispering and pointing fingers at her.

Unsure of how to get out of this situation, Jean stood there like a statue. She hadn't cheated on Zed, but here she was, being ridiculed by Eva and the Qi Group's employees. She fisted her fingers as she tried to calm herself.

In the conference room on the top floor, Zed was in the middle of a meeting when his secretary rushed in and whispered something to him. Zed's expression turned serious. He quickly dropped the folder in his hand and left.

The senior officers sitting in the conference room were confused. They were curious and would have liked to follow Zed, but since he hadn't told them that they could leave, they sat still. Zed's temper was well-known in the Qi Group and none would risk upsetting him.

Meanwhile, in the lobby, the crowd of bystanders became bigger and bigger. Jean and Eva were surrounded on all sides. So humiliated was Jean that she felt as though millions of eyes were staring at her. Normally a demure and shy person, Jean had never before faced such a situation. She had no idea how to cope.

Running away now would be proof that what Eva had just said was true.

But what could she do if she stayed? Was it acceptable to simply stand there while Eva and all of these strangers tore her apart?

In the elevator, Zed furrowed his eyebrows and looked extremely anxious. His secretary was standing beside him. The secretary hesitated as he spoke, "Boss, perhaps it's best if you don't deal with this matter now."

"What do you mean?" He stared at the display in the elevator, frustrated with the elevator's slow descent. He futilely willed the elevator to move quicker. Zed's expression grew more gloomy with each passing floor.

"It was not easy for us to resolve the PR crisis with the Li Group. The Weibo incident caused by Mrs. Qi hasn't settled either. I believe everyone will be curious to see how you handle this situation. Will you leave her to defend herself or will you rush to her rescue? Your reaction and attitude toward her, will show people what you feel about Mrs. Qi's affair." The secretary politely explained to Zed.

The elevator door opened just as the secretary had finished speaking.
