Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 293 It’s None Of Your Business

This new change in Joy stunned Jean and she turned to look at Moore for help but realized he was at a

loss of words just like her.

'Is Joy going to act like a good mother now?' Jean guessed secretly.

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Jean looked at Moore trying to tell him she had no idea regarding the Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

sudden change in Joy's demeanor.

'I know Joy too well to know that she can't change for anyone. This woman hates me! I wonder what

her new trick is.'

"Mom!" Looking at Shirley, it was obvious that she was also confused about her mother's attitude

reversal.

'Mom, what are doing now?

Can't you see the mocking smile on Jean's face?' Shirley thought with her eyes fixated on her mother.

She secretly prayed her mother would stop this awkward behavior.

Listening to Shirley's call, Joy looked at her daughter and gave her an angry look which told her to shut

up. Then she turned to Jean and continued," Jean, I'm older than you, and probably know more about

men. If you want Zed to love you then you have to try your best to please him. If he is satisfied, he will

give you anything you want."

"Are you going to tell me about how you seduced my father and took my mom's position? I'm listening!"

A sarcastic tone could be detected in Jean's voice.

"I'm not trying to teach you. I'm trying to help you, Jean. Besides, your father and I went together

because your father didn't love your mother anymore. However, it indeed hurt your mother's feeling.

Not long after that your mother died. I really am sorry for your loss. Even though you hate me, I still

want to take care of you. In fact, I always did. Now you are married. You should understand what's the

key factor to maintain your marriage.

You probably don't know how to love because if the love is true, Zed would not treat you this way. If you

want to go back to him again, you should find a way to wiggle out of this problem. I really mean to help

you. So my advice to you is that you should not agree to divorce Zed."

"Whether or not we get divorced, It's none of your business."Jean retorted back with anger oozing out

of her body.

'Are you trying to teach me, Joy? Save it. I know how to deal with my problems!'

"My mom is trying to help you, Jean. How can you speak to her in such an unpleasant tone? Do you

want your marriage to end in divorce?" Shirley widened her eyes and questioned Jean in disbelief.

"You are not my family anymore. Mind your own business." These suggestions were boiling Jean's

blood. She had no idea what these crazy people intended to do.

"You are such a bad little woman. No wonder Zed wants to leave you," said Shirley flashing a cruel

smile," Your indecent video is still on the internet. Everyone knows about your character now. If I were

him, I would feel so humiliated. Surely, any man will leave you."

"Argh! It's such a pity that you cannot make decisions for him. Have you finished your little speech? If

you are done, leave now!" Jean said with an indifferent tone.

This conversation was going in a very bad direction and all Jean wanted to do was to put a full stop to

it.

Now Joy turned to look at Jean and said coldly," I'm here to help you but you don't listen! Soon, you will

suffer and have no one but yourself to blame! Then please don't come crying and begging for help. Our

family is in big trouble already and we don't want you bringing more trouble to us."

"Alright then, don't bother with me because I will never ever come to you people for help. So, you don't

need to worry about that." Jean meant every word she uttered.

"Okay! Just don't forget your words!" Looking back at Shirley, Joy spoke in a resolute voice," Let's go!"

Seeing them leave, Jean felt relief wash over her. She really disliked them and their presence

suffocated her.

Finally, Moore walked toward Jean and spoke in a persuasive tone," Although they want you to stay

married for their own greed, I think I am with them in that matter. You and Zed should think twice before

ending this relationship. Sometimes, you have to make compromises, Jean. You have to make effort to

maintain a relationship."

"Stop that now! Moore." Hearing Moore's opinion offended her a great deal. "Our problem is not that

simple as you think."

"So, you made your mind to divorce him?" Moore felt defeated now.

"Yes! I will let him know after we deal with the indecent video." A sad smile crept on Jean's face.

"Ironically, I have to wait for Zed's final agreement for our divorce, or I can't leave him. But I am going to

force him to agree."

"Why bother?" Jean's insistence in getting a divorce shocked Moore

He always thought Jean loved Zed very much and now her sudden hatred for him was so weird.

On the other side, Shirley looked around and noticed there was nobody as she and her mother walked

along the corridor outside Jean's ward. She took the opportunity and questioned her mother with

confusion," Mom, why did you advise Jean to stay with Zed? I thought her getting a divorce from Zed is

what we want. We won't get any benefit from her relationship with Zed, then what's the use?"

Confused looking Shirley eagerly waited for an answer.

"Silly girl, I am doing this for our family's sake. You are right. Jean is changing a lot these days. Not

only does she treat us badly, she has also cut the family ties between us. I don't want to visit her either.

But you have to know this. In spite of her denial, people still consider her to be our family.

As long as she connects to Zed, they will not treat us badly. We will always have some respect from the

people. Sweetheart, their marriage really helps us a lot especially when we are in big trouble.

If Jean and Zed will divorce right now then our lives will be miserable. On top of that, your father is

extremely ill. Things are looking very bad for us. Their divorce may bring a disaster to our lives, honey!"

Hearing this, Shirley digested the information and let it sink in.

"Okay! I see!" Now her eyes had a new found respect for her mother.

"The problem is that I don't know how long their marriage will last. I am trying to do something that will

help us both, but that stupid girl is too dumb to listen. She thinks she is important for Zed, but who

knows? A man always wants his woman to please him. But Jean is always doing the opposite of it." A

worry for their future passed on Joy's face.

"Don't worry about them, mom. Zed is a clever man. Even if he wants to divorce, he would not choose

to do it at this moment." Shirley consoled her mom as she hated seeing her so depressed.

"You are right! My girl! What worries me the most is your father. If the shareholders know that Henry

has to stay in bed for the rest of his life, that would be another trouble for us. I can't find a way to sort

all this out. I feel helpless and alone without your father by my side." Joy sighed thinking about all the

work that awaited her.

"Why don't you let me be the CEO of our company? You always want Winner to get the position. Mom!

You like Winner more. But you have to know that Winner is not a good fit for that position. If you agree

to support me, I will make our company overcome all the hurdles. Already I've found my partner. He

is..."

Shirley whispered her partner's name in Joy's ear.

The name brought a look of immense please on Joy's face," My dear daughter, That's awesome! When

did you two reach the agreement? And why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
