Chapter 294 Who This Fiend Is

"Oh, mom, back then, it was a piece of unconfirmed news. But now, I can assure you that I have found the partner." Shirley stared at Joy with a complacent look and continued,"Since someone has agreed to support me in the form of partnership, you will favor me as CEO of the company. Am I right?"

"Of course, I will. The old shareholders will surely agree to elect you as CEO of our company too, since you have put your cards on the table and gained support from such a powerful figure. Shirley, I disagreed with your proposal for acting as CEO before because it was really infeasible at that time. It really is not like showingpartiality towards Winner. After all, Winner is the sole male heir of the Wen Family. In addition to that, he is the only legitimate heir of our family."

Embarrassment was evident on Joy's face, but she tried her best to explain it.

"Mom, I know and I can understand." Knowing that her mother would support her now, Shirley felt happiness wash over her. Together, they started to walk ahead.

Back in Jean's ward, Jean and Moore were having a conversation. "At times, we really can't force ourselves to do something against our wills," said Jean while she smirked at Moore.

Deep down, she suspected that this marriage would bring her nothing but humiliation. She wanted to get out of it as soon as possible.

"Jean, I don't think there is any point in saying anything more." Moore sighed and continued,"But you need to know I will always be there to support you, no matter what decision you take."

Hearing this, Jean smiled feeling thankful and spoke. "I know, Moore, and I am very thankful to you." Life was hard for Jean but knowing such a friend existing gave her a relief.

She knew Moore was the type of guy to support her through thick and thin. This knowledge eased off her worries.

In front of him, she could talk about everything without feeling restricted. He would never judge her, which was the best part of their relationship.

Moore spoke first to break the awkward silence brought by this sentimental talk.

"It is almost time for supper. Let's go!" Jean looked up and smiled.

Seeing her smile, Moore swore inside his head that he would always help her fight the obstacles in her life.

As a friend, he wanted to protect her from the toxic people.

"Okay. These days, I'm always hungry, so I can never say no to food." While rubbing her belly, she flashed him an embarrassing smile.

Unconsciously, her hand touched the envelope which had been hidden inside her pocket. Suddenly, her mood changed and her face scrunched into a completely different expression. Then, she glanced at Moore and said,"Can you wait for a moment? I am going to the bathroo

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

k with fury.

"Since Mrs. Jean's hospital stay, Moore has often visited her ward. Just now... the two of them went to the canteen to dine together." Knowing that revealing was better, Moore uttered everything he knew all at once.

"Moore..." Zed repeated that name with a cold look. "Without me, her life seems to be wonderful," said Zed with a smile that looked pained.

Thinking it was best to stay quiet, Toby stood there with a closed mouth.

"Well. You should truthfully report to me no matter what happens! I want to know everything." Staring at Toby with a look of disapproval, Zed instructed,"Anyone around Jean might be the fiend. So you have to keep an eye on her."

"Yes, Mr. Zed." Toby replied hastily.

"Okay, you can get out now!" Waving at Toby to leave, Zed closed his eyes.

Not wanting to hear any more scoldings, Toby rapidly strode out of the ward without sparing a second to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

"Toby..."

Gregory and Terry called him out with a sort of concern when they saw that his forehead was beaded with sweat.

"Shush..." Toby made a shush gesture as soon as he heard their call. He discerned their care for him and said,"I am okay. Be more alert and take care of Mr. Zed. Don't give the fiend any chance to hurt him. Got it?"

"Yes!" Gregory and Terry replied courteously with great respect.

Toby nodded to them, turned back and headed towards the canteen.

"Brother, did Mr. Zed scold Toby? He looked very scared. Do you think he made a mistake while keeping an eye on Mrs. Jean?"

This question was put forth by Terry who looked seriously concerned.

"Don't be so curious about everything. Just concentrate on what you have to do if you don't want any scoldings from Mr Zed." Gregory warned Terry seriously while giving him a death glare.
