Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 270 If Not Her Who Would It Be

"I know that you didn't post the video online. Somebody else did it." Jean noticed Eva's emotional

turmoil and sighed, "Please relax. Let's have a good talk about it." With serious tone but calm face

Jean had realized that Eva was experiencing great bewilderment and she wanted Eva to hold her

composure.

"If I didn't hear it with my own ears, I would think that the video is related to somebody else. Jean, I am

really sorry that I underestimated you. I never expected that you would remain so calm after all things

that had happened to you. Everyone including me were thinking that you would create a scene and we

would get the chance to enjoy it." Eva sighed sorely with an embarrassing smile on her face. She was

feeling ashamed of what she had done.

"Since things had already happened, I had to find a solution to it by myself. I was not at liberty to lose

my poise. I can't solve any problem, by just being emotional and angry. Am I right?" Jean said with a

forced smile. She had to keep her composure in spite of the fact that she was feeling miserable and

depressed deep within her heart.

"You are right. And you also handled the situation with senses. But why do you keep calling me even

though you knew I didn't do it?" In a startled tone Eva asked Jean with confusion. She really wanted to

know the reason behind Jean's so many calls. It was making her distraught.

"I wanted to know who else knew about the video apart from you? Though the video posted online was

different from yours, I felt that the video uploader tried to exaggerate the matter, focused more on my

interaction with Calvin, keeping your video as the base. The editing done on the video was of high

quality, and great effort was also placed on it. It was very much well planned. Of course, the edited

video would ignite the crowd's attention more easily."

Jean explained with a dark face and serious tone. She was determined to go to the root of the matter

and was ready to do anything possible for it.

Eva admired Jean's reasoning and decided to tell her everything she knew after having some thoughts.

"Jean, I accept that I share half of the responsibility for all of this. If I wouldn't have made that video,

nothing like this would have happened. I agree with you. The video uploader did borrow my idea to

exaggerate the relationship between you and Calvin. I want you to know that other than a friend of

mine, Jesse also knows about the video. I really regret all the things that had happened and all the hurt

that you had to face because of me."

"Jesse..." Jean was startled on hearing that Jesse did know about the video but she couldn't help

herself from crying out Jesse's name. She wanted to say more about Jesse but her shock was not

letting her say anything else. Her face was dazed with her eyes staring at one point without blinking for

once.

"Yes. On that night at the resort, she came to my room and threatened me to hand it over to her. She

promised me that she wouldn't post it online, so that was why I gave it to her. I didn't know that this was

going to happen in a few days." Eva explained it to Jean as her face reddened in embarrassment.

"Do you trust her words?" Jean's expressions turned more grave. It never dawned on her that Jesse

would knew about the video. She thought Eva was the only one having the video.

Could she be the one who uploaded the video?

Now she was the most suspicious person. All the clues were pointing her to be the culprit.

Jean bit her lips and her face darkened with concern while wondering about Jesse.

"As for my friend, he did post something online without my consent once. But he deleted it quickly

when I approached him. So there would not be a possibility that he had done it. And I promise you that

the video he posted that time was not the one which is present online."

Eva tried to explain it to Jean soberly. Eva knew his friend would not have done it. He was not that kind

of person.

"Do you trust your friend?" After listening to Eva's explanation Jean asked her to clear her doubt and to

get confirmation from Eva about her friend.

"I trust him, or I would not let him edit the video." Eva nodded affirmatively.

Jean's brows furrowed in silence. Her mind was now in a total mess. She was perplexed because she

was not at all near in finding the planner who had done all this.

Though from Eva, she got some clues about the video, such as Jesse and Eva's friend, they were not

full proof clues, just mere hints. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

And Jean could not wrongly accuse them to be the person behind the matter, before there was enough

evidence to prove them to be an offender.

"Today I went to find Jesse, in the parking lot of The Qi Group." Eva continued to speak, since Jean

was silent. Eva wanted to clarify herself from all the doubts that Jean would be having about her. As

Jean was not saying anything, she got the chance to justify herself.

"You went to find her?"

Hearing about the parking lot of The Qi Group, Jean held back her worry and thoughts and asked with

furrowed brows, as Eva could tell her something which could prove useful for her.

"Yes. I asked her whether she had posted the video online or not, but she denied it. And judging from

the expression on her face, it seemed that she didn't do it. But, if not her, who would it be? Who could

be so vengeful to do such kind of thing and by editing it, they achieved a new low, " Eva said, in a

puzzled tone. She was running her mind as fast as possible to crack the case open.

"Let's not guess recklessly, before getting a solid proof. And it would do us no good if we keep on

guessing. So we have to work towards getting the evidence." Jean relaxed her brows and reminded

Eva on the phone. "Be careful by yourself. You might get involved in this matter, or even worse, you

might be rendered the scapegoat. So don't do anything which could prove troublesome for you. Eva,

please be extra careful."

"I know, or I wouldn't have turned off my phone so that people can't find me. I am taking all the

precautions necessary, " Eva said grievously. She was kinda tired because of all this as she was not

the one who did it.

"But now why do you switch your phone on?" Jean felt curious so she asked her in a surprised tone.

"I don't know what you think of me. But I am innocent. And I don't want to be guilty in my life. I thought

that I need to give you an explanation and tell you everything I know." Eva said in embarrassment but

in a definitive tone.

"Eva, thank you for clearing things out. It takes great heart to clear themselves out." Jean smiled and

expressed her gratitude in a soft tone.

"All right. I am feeling so much better that you don't blame me for making such a mess. You really have

a big heart. People don't understand you correctly. Jean, I am sorry about before."

Eva apologized in an unusual way. Feeling nervous, she was clutching her clothes unconsciously and

was wearing a remorseful expression on her face. She was very grateful towards Jean for forgiving her.

"What's in the past is in the past." Jean smiled and said, "Take care of yourself. I should go now.

Remember, turn off your phone when it's necessary. Don't let certain people find you. Okay. Bye."

Jean was concerned about Eva so she reminded her again. She didn't want her to be in any kind of

trouble.

"Okay, take care of yourself." As soon as she finished her sentence, Eva turned off her phone.

Jean looked at the black screen of her phone and fell into a trance as she was shocked.

Now, nobody could expect that the two past enemies could get along well with each other. Enemies

were expected to fight with each other, not to be on friendly terms.

Jesse...

She was also involved in this matter. Now it was getting more and more complicated.

Jean had always known that Jesse would try every possible means to make her leave Zed, even by

using dirty tricks. But this, it was even new low for her. She couldn't be eliminated from suspicion

because of her doubtful doings in the past.

Therefore, she was the key suspect in this matter.

But when Jean learned from Eva that Jesse also had the video, she had to eliminate Jesse from her

suspicion. It was not possible to doubt her after knowing that.

As Jean well knows, Jesse was a smart person.

She knew that if she went to Eva directly to get the video, people would know that she had it, and there

would be direct blame on her. Since she would not like to ruin Jean's marriage with Zed, she would

definitely not use the video.

Though she did want Jean to leave Zed, she would never do it under the risk of damaging Zed's

reputation. She did care about Zed a lot. This was one good thing about her.

Jean believed in her on this point. And there was no point arguing on it.

Even though she saw them sleeping together this morning, Jean could still trust her on this matter. At

least she knew that much.

As for Eva's friend...

Thinking of it, Jean's brows furrowed. Though Eva said that she trusted him, she still needed to know

more about that person before letting him off the suspicion. She was not going to let him of the hook

just because Eva trusted him. She had to investigate more.

Jean made up her mind. After all the thinking, she felt tired and closed her drowsy eyes to rest herself

with good sleep. She was not well enough to be totally fine. She needed her timely rest.

Jean was about to lie down when the door was knocked by someone.

Jean opened her eyes in irritation and felt helpless. She was feeling very tired from all those serious

conversation and mind grilling.

After she was hospitalized, it seemed that the knocking on the door never stopped. People were

coming continuously.

Since when she got so many visitors?

She just hoped that this time it was not someone who wanted to harm her, as she no longer had the

courage to face these people. These people didn't even care that she was admitted to the hospital, but

they visited her only to tease her.

Jean sighed and by getting down from her bed, she went to open the door. She stared at one person

and asked the other person smilingly, "What's the matter? How come you two are together? Did I miss

something these days?"
