Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 341 Who On Earth Is Telling Lies

When Shirley and Ethan realized that the news they broke was enough to promote the success of their

plan, they cast a quick glance at each other. Then, Shirley gave Ethan an imperceptible nod. Being

confident about his plan, Ethan looked resolute and started speaking in an agitated tone,"Jean, I have

been in pain and have had a hard time since you broke up with me.

Because of you, the Lei family has severed their relationship with me. Now, I am homeless and without

any money. But believe me, seeing that you are happy is more important to me than anything else.

However, I was sad to see that Zed gave you a cold shoulder after the video incident. He was reluctant

to even see you when you were ill in hospital. When I heard of that, I felt rather distressed.

I treated you like a treasure and always made sure you were safe. I can understand and forgive you for

abandoning me and being with Zed because I know that all you wanted was a better life. But Zed is so

ruthless to you. I can't bear that. I care about you so much. I love you a lot too. Jean, come back to me!

Let bygones be bygones. I won't fuss about our past as long as you come back to me. I will love you

wholeheartedly.

Jean, I know that you won't believe me, but I have no other way of showing my love. I still wish you

could give me a chance. Can you? You have to know that I will always be there with you. If Zed ever

wants to separate, keep in mind that my door will always be open for you. Jean, I earnestly love you."

Ethan finished with a passion. Now there was a tender look in his eyes and he had his affectionate

gaze fixated on Jean.

These words didn't bring any happiness to Jean. Instead, she felt disgusted hearing it.

For Jean, it didn't look genuine. It looked like a work of a good actor in some crappy TV show.

In their plot, Ethan was like the leading actor who had no regret about his love, while Jean and Zed

were just like the shameless couple in all onlookers' eyes.

'Ethan, you are so mean! You are absolutely irredeemable.'

By now, Jean lost her temper and couldn't stand there watching. She loosened her grip on Zed's arm

and walked towards Ethan slowly.

"Jean..." Zed called her with a little anxiety. He was concerned about Jean's safety. But judging from

the current situation, he concluded that Ethan definitely wouldn't harm Jean in front of people.

Moreover, if everyone stayed quiet, then Ethan would keep talking rubbish.

"I'm fine. You don't have to follow me. I will handle it by myself." While Jean said this, she turned back

and gave Zed a smile which meant to reassure him.

Hearing her firm reply, Zed nodded and said,"Okay, I will be here waiting for you."

Her face turned gentle when she looked at Zed, but immediately flew into rage when she faced Ethan.

As Maranda saw Jean was walking over there alone, great anxiety mounted inside her and she Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

said,"Jean is going there alone. Can she handle it? What if she is insulted and bullied by Ethan? I think

I better keep her company!"

As soon as she finished her words, Maranda was about to follow behind Jean.

But before she could step forward, Ron grabbed her arm and said,"Zed would have kept her company

if Jean really needs that. You'd better not go there to cause more troubles."

Taking Ron's words into consideration, Maranda felt that it made sense. Hence, she took his advice

and didn't follow Jean.

Now, Jean's focus was fixated on Ethan when she walked towards him. Seeing a complacent smile on

his face made Jean heavy-hearted.

That was the man she had loved. Somehow, seeing his face weakened her resolution. Harsh words

dried on her tongue and she just kept walking.

Deep down, she had realized that Ethan was a bad guy. In spite of this, she didn't wish him ill.

But Ethan had been so shameless to speak those words out in public, so Jean had no choice but to

stop him.

"Have you finished?" Jean asked him expressionlessly when she arrived and stood in front of Ethan.

As soon as this question was dropped on him, a look of embarrassment was shown on Ethan's face,

but it passed away quickly. Then, he stared at Jean affectionately and replied,"Jean, you have heard

my calling, so you've come here to find me, right?"

"Have you finished?" Jean repeated this time even louder. 'I am trying to be nice, but you are testing

my patience, ' thought Jean.

"Yes. Yes. I've finished! I will be happy and content as long as you come back to me." Ethan gave Jean

a firm nod to assure her that all that he said was true.

"Mr. Lei," Jean said seriously after taking a deep breath. She continued,"I am very grateful to you. In

the past, we loved each other but it was immature. To be honest, I don't think that was love."

"What? Jean, did you say our love was immature?" Ethan asked her disapprovingly with shock written

all over his face.

Judging from his facial expressions, Jean discerned that Ethan had been hurt by her words. Then, she

said in a slow voice,"I am also very thankful to you for showing me your true color. Before this, I didn't

know you could stoop so low."

"Jean..." Ethan was stunned and caught off guard listening to her words. He stared at Jean, burdened

by agony and unease in his eyes. At last, he said,"How could you judge me like this? Is it because I

talked about our love in front of so many people? Jean, I have done this only because I want you back

in my life. I don't care about your past. More importantly, I care very little about your identity..."

"Ethan, do you have an ounce of shame left in you?" Jean interrupted him from his speech. Ethan was

acting as if he were spoony. Jean had no feelings left for him. With her eyebrows furrowed tightly, Jean

said,"If you remember clearly, you are the one who broke up with me! Besides, now I am thankful to

you for doing it. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met Zed. You have no idea what a wonderful

person he is. And why are you here? Do you want to prove in front of everyone that you are in agony

and pain? But in my eyes, you are nothing but a filthy and shameless man trying to disgrace me."

Hearing her speech, the crowd started to murmur. "What? Did they break up with each other a long

time ago?"

"What is going on? Is Ethan telling lies to damage her reputation?"

"That's impossible! Just now, her little sister said that it was Jean that cheated on him?"

"Who on earth is telling lies?"

Everyone was puzzled and started to put forth their opinions.

"Don't listen to her lies. All that she said is nonsense." Ethan screamed out loud. Feeling his plan go

down the drain, he picked the mike up and spoke loudly,"She is telling lies! She is unwilling to admit our

love. She is an actress trying to hide it!"

"Ethan, is this how you love me?" Instead of anger, Jean smirked while she questioned him. With her

eyes fixed on Ethan, she said coldly,"In fact, I clearly remember when and how we broke up. When we

parted, someone at our school wrote an article to reveal your ruthlessness and heartlessness. So that

shall remain a proof. Lately, I read this article on the website of the university that we studied in. The

pageview and print rate have gotten very high. If anyone is interested, then it can probably be found

there."

"You..." Looking stunned, Ethan never expected Jean would be this smart. Realizing that all his lies

would be exposed, his facial expression immediately changed. He found it hard to maintain the

pretense and looked guilty.

Although the onlookers hadn't read the article, they detected who told the lie from Ethan's worried

expression. Jean, on the other hand, looked calm and composed.

With Jean's mention of that article, a sneer ran across all of the onlookers' faces. Now there was no

debate going on about who was speaking the truth. Everyone threw Ethan a hate-filled look.

With a tinge of panic deep down in his eyes, Ethan unknowingly shifted his gaze to Jesse.

Initially, Jesse stood there, hoping she wouldn't be in trouble. But seeing that Ethan had turned his

eyes on her, she immediately looked in Zed's direction.

She felt anxious when she noticed that Zed had his eyes glued on her. 'There is a suspicion in his

eyes, ' thought Jesse feeling worried.

Suddenly, she noticed a figure showing up at the door. Feeling relieved, she immediately let out a sigh

of relief and said in a hurry,"Grandpa Benjamin, grandpa. Haven't you gone back? Why did you come

back?"
