Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 185

The Wen family had only themselves to blame for what happened to them.

The morally upright Jean never had a place at home, ever since her mother passed away.

The situation became worse after her stepmother Joy gave birth to Shirley and Winner. Ever since, they were thought of as children of the Wen family, and she was the fifth wheel.

To add insult to injury, Henry 'sold' her in order to rake in profit from her later.

It was only after Zed's entry into her life, that things changed for the better.

The Wens though still lived by their morally corrupt ways. Seeing them get to such a low point, Jean sighed softly but knew that they deserved it.

She did not go to see Henry even when she was right outside his hospital room. It was not because she was hard-hearted.

She had just had enough of their greed and lust, and didn't want anything to do with them.

What she could do was to keep an eye on them from a distance and constantly keep herself updated.

The loyal Jean had resolved to never make trouble for Zed.

As for the Wen family, they could do whatever they wanted. It was none of her business to meddle in their affairs anyway.

Jean went home by car, tired and drowsy. She dragged herself to the guest room but smelled a whiff of perfume in the air right at its entrance.

A wide-eyed Jean couldn't fathom its source. Worse still, when she pushed the door open, she saw a gorgeous woman with long hair lying on the big bed.

The sun was climbing up in the sky and shafts of sunlight fell on the white satin bedcover.

The unknown woman was simply lying on the bed, unaware that she was being watched by Jean. Her face could be called exquisite with porcelain skin and long lush eyelashes.

She looked like a vision, or as if she was the woman of every man's dream. Even though her eyes were closed, Jean knew it that she was a sensuous beauty.

'Come on, Zed, are you so impatient that you had to have a fling while I was out for only one night?'

Swallowing hard, Jean's shoulders slumped with all that she was witnessing in the last 48 hours. The sadness wore her down and she turned towards the door.

"Who are you?" The doorknob was in Jean's hand when she heard a velvety hesitating voice speak to her.

Jean looked behind to see that the woman had woken up and was sitting on the bed. Oh, no.

She was a young girl, to be exact.

With her elbows propped on her knees, the girl had gathered the quilt in her lap. She looked a bit sleepy-eyed due to the sudden waking up.

Noticing her properly, Jean felt that she was right on her being a beauty. Though there was no exquisite makeup on her face, her chiseled face and vivid expressions could attract any onlooker.

Especially her big bright eyes, which mesmerized with the coloured glaze. The girl looked back at Jean with an openness and wonder, that all looked too sincere.

Embracing herself to break the silence, Jean prepped herself to play the hostess.

But as soon as Jean spoke, she knew she could not bear to do it to the girl.

"I'm Jean Wen, and who are you?"

"Are you my sister-in-law?" The young girl's eyes suddenly lit up. She got off the bed quickly and walked towards Jean, her face full of excitement. She looked carefully up and down at Jean and smiled. Enthusiastically, she stretched her right hand towards Jean and said, "Hi, I'm Jesse Tang."

Jesse...... Tang......

Repeating the name under her breath, Jean turned grave. Looking at Jesse's delicate hands, Jean took a deep breath and decided not to shake hands with her. "Hi, " said Jean coolly.
