Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 196

But, the Wen family continued to go too far and cross the line. Not only had they kidnapped her grandmother, they also deliberately gave a dirty meaning to her relationship with Moore after they saw Jean visiting him.

If she didn't teach them a lesson, who knew what else they would do in the future.

"Huh? What does he mean?" Zed turned to Jean and asked with a frown on his face.

Though he knew clearly that Jean came to visit Moore and that they were innocent, Jean was too careless that now, the evil Shirley was using it to spin destructive stories against her.

Shirley has been known to have an evil tongue. Jean knew this as well.

She could have been more careful.

Jean was stunned. She didn't expect Zed to ask her. She merely replied, "It is purely a set up. Shirley used my visit to Moore to sabotage our relationship and tear us apart."

Jean was clearly aware of the situation.

Zed nodded, satisfied with Jean's explanation. He turned his cold stare on to Shirley, "So that is what you also wanted to say?"

All this time, Shirley had been frantically trying to come up with something to turn the situation around to her favor. She got nothing. She just shivered, looked at Zed and kept shaking her head.

"I..."

It's like the cat got her tongue. She couldn't speak another single word.

Damn it. Was she wrong this time? Seeing Zed's protective attitude toward Jean, she knew that it would be impossible to go further today. It might only make it worse for her.

"I am just concerned about your relationship. If there really was nothing between them, then I must have seen it wrongly. Now that you are here to pick up your wife, I won't bother either of you any more." Shirley forced a smile and turned to leave.

Winner had not completely processed in his head what just happened. He looked at Shirley's quick receding back, looked towards Zed and Jean, then back at Shirley.

"Wait..." Zed yelled out at Shirley.

Confused, she turned around and asked stiffly, "Brother-in-law, is there anything else?"

"You seem to have forgotten what I have told you last time. I have warned you. If you dared mess up with Jean again, I would not be merciful to the Wen family. Remember? I even told you to think about it. Have you not given it any thought? You never change. You never did and you never will. You have brought trouble to yourself and you deserve it."

Zed's expression said it all. He continued, "Since your family likes looking for trouble, then I'll let you have it."

There was coldness and cruelty in Zed's voice and on his face.

Shirley's heart sank. She knew how powerful Zed could be when he wanted to. With a frightened look, she staggered toward him, weakly shaking her head and tears welling up in her eyes. "No! Please don't, Mr. Qi. Our family is in a very difficult situation. You can't do this to us... Please... I am begging you..."

Shirley was scared to death and close to dropping on her knees. She liked to play tricks to make trouble between Zed and Jean, but it didn't mean that she was stupid.

If Zed did something to the Wen family, they would truly have no place to stay in H City.

Seeing Zed's stern and unforgiving expression, Shirley grabbed Jean's hand. Her fear was getting out of control and she was about to break down. She got so weak that her body started drooping to the floor as she started to beg, "I know I have done many terrible things. But you can't just sit from a distance and watch your father die. The Wen family... can't afford any more trouble."

Tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
