Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 240 How Could She

Jean wasn't aware of Eva's presence until she heard her voice. When she turned around, she caught

Eva waving her hands happily.

Seeing this, Jean's cheek lit up and she felt the need to meet her immediately.

She looked back to Zed and hurriedly added, 'Zed, wait for a moment, I will be back soon."

Saying this, she sprinted across to the place where Eva stood.

Zed on noticing Eva, frowned unhappily.

He wished to stop Jean, but hated to anger his lovely wife. So he just stood there gloomily and threw

eye daggers at Eva.

Having sensed the glare of Zed, Eva felt nervousness form inside her. She trembled under his scrutiny

almost dropping the phone on her hand.

"Eva, is that video still there?" Jean walked up to Eva and asked without wasting any time.

"Yes, I called my friend, and he hasn't deleted it. I'll send it to you right now, " said Eva, as she looked

into her phone and sent that video to Jean via WeChat.

The transmission was completed and Jean's face finally looked at peace.

After Jean finished watching the whole video, she hugged Eva tightly as a way of thanking her, "Eva,

you have no idea how grateful I am to you. Without your help, my reputation would be damaged.

Moreover, it would create a misunderstanding between me and Zed."

"A Misunderstanding?" Eva was surprised by the extent of Jean's gratefulness, "What is going on?"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"You are not the only one to witness the club incident. Rumors are flying around to shame me. Now

with your video, I've got nothing to fear." Jean loosened her hug and explained with a delightful smile.

"Oh, now I get it! Then I think you should show this video to Zed. As long as you make things clear to

him, everything will be fine." Eva said with a forced smile.

"Ok." Jean nodded with gratefulness not noticing Eva's expression. "We are going fishing. Do you want

to come along?"

"I......" Eva was disappointed seeing the expression of Zed's face. He wasn't happy to see her, instead

impatience and anger reeked from his face. So she waved her hand and rejected the offer, "No, you

guys go ahead! I don't want to be a third wheel."

"You really don't want to join us?" Jean asked shocked and surprised.

"No, no, you guys have fun. I will be heading back downtown." Eva shook her head at Jean.

"Alright then, but we are not done Eva. I want to treat you properly for the favor you did for me." Jean

had already sensed Eva's resolution hence didn't want to force her.

"Okay. Bye." Eva just wanted to leave as soon as possible to avoid meeting Jesse.

"Bye." Jean watched Eva walk away and a smile appeared on her face.

'As it turns out, Eva isn't so hard to get along once you get to know her well, ' she thought happily.

"What are you looking at?" Zed walked towards and traced her eye to see what she was staring at.

The figure of Eva was already gone.

"You know, you have a great taste in women, " Jean said looking happy and cheery.

"What?" Zed threw her a puzzled expression and then looked at her direction.

Zed sighed a little and followed Jean not knowing how else to react to this.

Having the burden gone, Eva was relaxed and chilled. 'Now I don't have to worry about any more, ' she

thought to herself.

She deleted the video as she made her way to her room.

Right when she reached at the doorstep, she caught Jesse standing not far away with anger.

Jesse's glare twisted and turned her pretty face into an unattractive one when she saw Eva.

"Eva, what did you promise me last night? How can you back out? Don't you want to fulfill that wish of

yours?" Jesse asked with gritted teeth.

"I agreed to tell you exactly what happened that night and you promised to help me ask Zed out on a

date next month. I don't know what you mean by 'back out'." Eva looked at Jesse in confusion, "It's

okay if you can't fulfill your promise......"

"It's of course okay for you, but do you really think taking Jean's side will help you? Eva, stop being so

naive please." Jesse said exploding with anger.

"I'm no longer naive. I have moved on and changed." A sad smile took over Eva's face.

"What do you mean?" Jesse asked stunned. She hadn't expected Eva to move on so fast.

"I mean, I have stopped having unrealistic fantasies about Zed, I won't try crazy stuff just to get close to

him. Jesse, our deal is now invalid, because I give up, " she sighed after finishing the sentence. "He is

Jean's now, so I can't get him no matter how hard I try. It was stupid of me to think he would come back

to me on our fifth anniversary, " she added.

She tried to maintain her composure, but she looked like she wanted to cry.

"Fifth anniversary?" This came as a surprise and Jesse had no idea about the anniversary.

Seeing Jesse's shocked face, Eva continued, "Yes, isn't that ridiculous? This man didn't even like to

look at me, and I tried everything possible to draw his attention. I'm tired of my failed attempts. After

everything that happened last night, I came to realize that the passion I had for Zed is completely gone

now. So, Jesse, we are not partners anymore. You can't use me like a tool anymore. And for your

information, I don't think you can win against Jean."

Eva tried to look confident, but Jesse noticed she was sad.

"Bullshit! Don't ever tell me that Jean is better than me. I warn you! How could she be better than I? I

am way more educated and have better looks. On top of that, she has no one to look after her. How

can she be better? Dear Eva, I think you are being brainwashed by Jean, so please don't discourage

me by listening to that manipulative bitch's words." Jesse stared hoping Eva would change her mind.

"I'm not discouraging you. I just want you to see the truth. I just don't want you to get hurt because I

know how it feels to be rejected by the man you love." Eva was exhausted now, and sighed wanting to

stop this conversation.

"Stop speaking nonsense. I want to know what you give Jean?" Jesse asked Eva like she was

disgusted at her betrayal.

"Didn't you just see that? We became friends on WeChat and then she asked me to have coffee with

her someday." Eva looked at Jesse and replied casually, "You can check my phone if you don't believe

me."

Then she dug for her phone and handed it to Jesse.

Jesse looked at Eva suspiciously and inspected her phone.

She scrolled thorugh WeChat, and stopped after she saw Jean on her list.

After she was done, she still held onto Eva's phone and asked, "Is that all? Didn't you talk about

anything else?"

Jesse tried to let the matter go but suspicion still remained in her eyes.
