Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Before she could walk very far, a big, warm hand grabbed Jean's arm and pulled her toward the Bentley parked nearby.

"Shit! Take your hands off me!"

Zed didn't listen to Jean. Determinedly, he marched toward his car, Jean in tow. While Jean's expression conveyed panic, Zed's appearance was cold and unmoving. He placed his hands on her shoulders and twirled her around to face him. Zed's rather dark eyes bored into hers. "Jean, you dare to yell at me?"

"Why shouldn't I?" She tilted her head to one side and glowered at Zed. "You married me for commercial reasons. I am alone now. I don't have a family anymore. How could I possibly be of any use to you? Do you think you're torturing the Wen family by taking me? Ha! They wouldn't even care. So what's the purpose of all this? I have nothing more to give to you!"

"Do you think that I can't do anything to you without Wen family as leverage?" His grip on her shoulder tightened and Jean whimpered in pain.

"Then just do whatever you like to me." She gritted her teeth and spoke defiantly. She looked straight into his eyes as if daring Zed to do more than just drag her to the car. This was the first time that she had spoken with him so boldly. Her expression reflected the resolve and stubbornness she felt.

'After all, just take my life if you want!'

Zed was a little baffled by Jean's behavior. It was beyond his expectation that Jean would quarrel with him to this extent. Yes, she had been angry with him before. But this was different. She often looked weak and feeble and so, Zed didn't expect her to struggle this much.

Now he knew something new about Jean.

Zed had been very distraught when he learned that Jean had been eager to divorce him. Now, she even quarreled with him in public without thinking about his reputation. "All right. If that's how you feel, then let's go home and continue our argument."

"Do you take me for a fool? You're just saying that, you don't actually mean it!" He pursed his lips at Jean's retort. Determined to shift this drama from somewhere public to somewhere private, Zed scooped her up in his arms and walked the rest of the way to the car. Jean hissed and kicked the whole way, but Zed wouldn't let go. After he finally managed to open the door, Zed tossed her into the car.

As he strode toward the driver's seat, he saw Jean attempting to escape. Zed quickly slid into his seat and pressed the button to lock all the doors and windows. With Jean confined inside the car, Zed started the engine, and quickly sped away.

At this moment, Jean was flustered by Zed's actions. She just couldn't figure out what he wanted. She was so furious with Zed that she wanted to scream at him again. However, Jean kept quiet as she began thinking about Zed's intentions. Where was he taking her? More importantly, why and for how long?
