Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 576 I Already Have A Girl In My Heart

Jean heard Moore's words and retorted angrily, "Shut up! There is no point in mocking me. Truth be

told, I would definitely marry Avery if I were a man. Why are you getting angry? You are deliberately

annoying me with such words, aren't you? But can't you see that I am doing this for you? Moore, it is

your age to get married. Is it not good to have someone around to take care of you? Can you please

tell me why you don't like Avery?"

"I am sure you must have heard the proverb that a melon is not sweet when it is forcibly picked before

its ripe end. So when something is done forcibly, it is not going to have a positive outcome," Moore

cautioned coldly.

"But I'm more convinced that love grows with time," Jean replied. "Moore, tell me the truth! Why are

you resisting Avery's love? She is an international star. Is it because you think she is too popular? Or

do you have someone else in your heart?"

Jean frowned, looked at Moore and asked angrily.

Moore took a deep look at her and his facial expression was hard to read. "Yes, I already have a girl in

my heart. And yes, I truly love her."

"Who is she?" Jean was stunned after he uttered those words. 'How come he didn't tell me about it, '

her mind questioned. Then she asked with some surprise, "Are you making up an excuse because you

don't like Avery?"

"Why should I make an excuse?" Moore questioned coldly. Then he stopped paying attention to Jean

and started the car and drove in high speed.

Suspicion was written all over Jean's face. Looking at Moore's stern side face, she could not help but

ask, "So who is the girl that you like? Do I know her?"

"No, you don't know her," Moore did not look at Jean while he spoke.

Feeling snubbed, Jean opened her mouth several times but nothing came out of it.

Obviously, Moore didn't want her to know and looked angry.

'Why? Is he angry because I am trying to fix him up with Avery?

Or is it because I am asking him too many questions regarding this sensitive topic?'

"Well, if you really don't want to tell me, I'll stop asking," Jean said, sounding dejected. Gazing at the

window, she sighed and tried to ease the atmosphere. After a while, she asked, "Moore, I know I

shouldn't mind your private affairs. I don't know if you think that I'm making an unnecessary move. You

probably think I'm too nosy. In truth, I have no idea whether you like Avery or not. I just hope that during

her stay in H City, you will treat her like a good friend."

In Jean's eyes, there was sadness.

Moore wrinkled his eyebrows, looked at Jean, and decided not to say anything.

Suddenly Jean realized the car was moving way too quickly. She didn't want to go back home now, so

she said, "Moore, I want to meet Zed. You can take me there."

Moore didn't say a word. The car turned around at the front intersection and headed for the downtown

road.

Jean was somewhat surprised because Moore had never been to Zed's company. 'How does he know

the direction so well?' she wondered.

She had been there several times yet she always went there by taxi, so she was still confused about

the direction.

Now she understood that Avery was right.

Moore wasn't as simple as she thought he was.

He had a high IQ which was why he had a doctorate at such a young age.

Moreover, if Moore wasn't that smart then it would have been impossible to deal smartly with people

like Hanley.

"By the way, why did Hanley come to see you today?" Finally, Jean could not help asking.

"I thought you weren't going to ask." Moore looked at Jean with some surprise. He had thought she

was angry and she wouldn't care about him anymore. This question shocked him and it seemed that

she still cared about him. With this in mind, his face softened a bit.

Looking at Moore, Jean had misunderstood his expression and thought he was angry again. So she

looked at him with a bitter smile and said, "Avery was right. I shouldn't interfere too much in your

personal affairs. But then I thought about it again. After all, we are friends. In my opinion, friends can

share not only happiness but also suffering. So it is my responsibility to ask but whether to tell me or

not is up to you."

Knowing that Jean's change was due to Avery's words, Moore frowned slightly and looked at her and

said, "You don't need to care what others say. Just be yourself."

"So, do you mean that you are okay with my questions?" Jean was happy when she heard his words.

Then she looked at him with sparkling eyes and asked in a hurry, "So tell me quickly, what did Hanley

tell you?"

"He said there is a feast at the Bai family in the weekend and he wants me to attend it."

Moore sighed at the thought attending that party.

"He invited you to a feast held by the Bai family? What trick is he going to play now?" Jean was

immediately surprised and frowned tightly.

"Don't you know his simple motive? He must be for the money of the Bai family." Moore shook his head

and sighed.

"So did you promise him?" Jean looked at Moore thoughtfully for a few seconds. "He probably wanted

you to appear in front of the public and break up with the Bai family. It sounds tempting because it

seems that then some of the Bai family members will never dare to harass you again. But the biggest

beneficiary is still Hanley Bai, who will be able to monopolize the property owned by the Bai family.

Also, once you really break away from the Bai family, I'm afraid it may be easier for them to deal with

you without this concern. So Moore, you'd better think it over and don't be so impulsive to promise

him."

Jean immediately looked concerned.

"Don't worry, Jean. I know what to do. But Hanley is right to say that my life won't be calm without

breaking up with the Bai family." Moore looked at Jean and grinned bitterly.

"So you gave him a promise?" Jean looked at Moore and sighed.

"Um." Moore nodded to Jean. "Because this is the most direct and effective way. And no matter what

consequences I will have to face, there is no room for regret."

Jean was aware that Moore was indirectly thinking about Gary. She immediately became a little

worried. "But I don't think it's good for Gary's reputation. You know, after all, he's a politician, and his

every move is watched by countless eyes. So Moore, I still think it's too risky, and it would probably be

noticed by his supervisor or others. You'd better think it again before you take any decision."

"Don't worry. I've already considered that," Moore comforted her. "I will try to minimize the damage to

him, so that I will also feel better."

Jean saw that he was determined. She could not say anything more because nothing would change his

mind now. She just sat there in silence. Then it was a long time before she sighed. "To be honest, I

don't think Gary is the kind of person who would trick and abandon his own son for his career. Moore, if

it is possible then please give him a chance to explain what happened at that year..."

Jean looked worriedly at Moore and tried to persuade him.

Moore looked at Jean involuntarily, with a flash of sadness on his face.

But instead of saying anything about it, he just pulled over and said to Jean, "Here we are."

Jean was surprised and looked up. Sure enough, the tall and striking building of the Qi Group appeared

in front of her. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Moore, I'm afraid I will need your help to walk upstairs." Jean put away all the complicated expressions

on her face and she looked at Moore with a cheerful face.

Moore sighed helplessly, helped her out of the car and asked, "Here's your husband's company. You

surely know the horrors of gossip. So aren't you afraid to be seen so close to me by so many people

that they misunderstand our relationship? What if they eventually use it against you? They will drown

you with problems."

"Why should I fear? Am I not with you? Even if I'm going to drown, you'll be my companion." Jean

waved her hand carelessly.

Sometimes the speaker had no particular intention in saying these, but the listener read his own

meaning into it.

Moore came to a sudden halt when Jean uttered these words.

But soon, he regained his composure and helped Jean walk to the gate of the Qi Group.

After the last video incident, almost everyone in the Qi Group knew that Jean was the CEO's wife.

So when Jean and Moore appeared at the front desk, there were already some smart people who had

called the secretary in the CEO's office.
