Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 175

Zed felt a little relieved and said, "Really? You have to stop talking about this if you still think of me as your husband. Don't affect our relationship because of someone unrelated to us."

"I am sorry......" Jean's lower lip trembled and she burst into tears. "I...I don't want you to commit crimes because of me. I know you are extremely powerful, Zed. But we live in a society ruled by law and this is just not done. Lei Group's business might be small scale in H City. But the entire family is in the Imperial Capital. Their power and strength are beyond what you can even imagine. I cannot even bear to think that something may happen to you because of me. I need you to keep your temper and impulse in check and not offend them."

As Jean uttered this out, she began sobbing with a strange sadness coming over her.

"Honey, how can you not trust me?" Zed was deeply touched and surprised. It dawned on him that Jean no longer loved her old lover, Ethan. Instead, she was really worried that he would be in a difficult situation if he clashed with the Lei Group.

Zed felt warm inside. He hugged Jean who was still crying and comforted her, "Jean, you should remember that I won't let anyone off the hook specially when he makes trouble for my woman. I don't care whoever he is, let alone Ethan who means nothing to me."

Jean looked up at Zed aghast, "Do you really intend to offend the Lei Family openly?"

Zed sighed, "Jean, all I can say is that Ethan has crossed the line."

Looking at him intently, Jean gave a bitter smile. "Alright. I will always support you in whatever you do."

Zed was taken aback. He tenderly gazed at her as he was filled with love for her.

At that moment, Jean said in a low voice, "Zed, I have to ask you. I would like to take a look at him. Is that ok?"

Zed's heart was suddenly frozen. He could feel anger rising inside him.

"Trust me. I just want to take a look at him once." With a knot of feelings inside her, Jean said, "I didn't realise I owed a debt of gratitude to him until today. It was because of him, I entered my company and started working under my boss. He made my biggest wish come true. Just once, I have to show him how grateful I am in person. After that, he and I are square. I won't owe him anything."

Zed frowned and stared at Jean in silence.

Jean mustered the courage to look at him in the eye and firmly nodded.

"OK. We will do it just once because he helped you." Zed continued, "But after that you can never meet him again."

The smile on Jean's face suddenly disappeared. Jean confusingly gazed at Zed.

"I wish we had met before him. But because he helped you realize your dream, I will set him free. Jean, forgive me for saying that you are not allowed to meet him again. I feel furious and an urge to kill him as long as you will meet him."

As Zed agreed to set Ethan free, Jean muttered, "Alright. I won't meet him again."

Zed discerned Jean's great joy on her face. Thus, he knitted his eyebrows and unhappily asked, "So, you want me to let him go, right?"

Jean explained to him uneasily. "Zed, you know what I am thinking. I hope to keep your hands clean when we can avoid them getting stained by blood.

Zed trembled with rage. His face contorted into anger and irritation because of how Jean refused to understand all that he had been saying.

Jean winced. "Zed, what's wrong? If you don't want to let him go, that would also be okay. It depends on you."

"I will set him free." Zed was still like a statue. He clearly said to her stressing each word, "From this moment on, he will not be allowed to step into H City anymore. You will not meet him ever again."

Jean nodded. "OK. Sure.

I also feel that there is no need for me to meet Ethan ever again." After intently looking at Jean, Zed picked up his phone and gave instructions to his musclemen to set Ethan free.

Listening to Zed's instructions, Jean took a deep breath and smiled.

'Ethan, I could only do this much for you.

I hope you turn over a new leaf and start a better life ahead, ' she thought to herself.

Zed drove ahead slowly. Jean finally felt relieved at putting behind their discussion and the conclusion they had come to.
