Chapter 571 Is That Fair

Thinking of what had happened last night, Jean blushed red as a cranberry. She touched her forehead where Zed had kissed her and felt as if it was still wet and warm.

Suddenly, her heart gave a thump and she was thrown out of her musings. She got up hurriedly and went into the washroom.

She was wondering whether Avery and Moore were awake or not.

'They are probably still asleep. After all, they hadn't gone to bed until the wee hours of the morning, '

Jean thought as she freshened herself up in the bathroom.

Anyway, no one was working harder than Zed these days for her. He went to bed very late last night, but had gotten up so early today for his work.

All because he had to take good care of his big company. In people's eyes, he was a successful and glamorous man but only she knew just how hard he was working everyday behind that success.

Jean sighed. Then she took out a white cotton suit from her wardrobe and got dressed before going out.

When she was just at the top of the stairs, she saw Moore and Avery come out of the guest room. More importantly, it looked like they were coming out of Avery's bedroom together.

Totally amazed, Jean looked at them and asked, "You... Why are you two coming out together?"

"Jean, don't take this the wrong way." The expression on Jean's face made Avery's s cheeks blush. She hurriedly explained, "I forgot my cell phone charger. I was afraid that my phone had stopped functioning so I asked Moore to check it out for me. It turned out that my cell phone was dead."

After saying that, Avery felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had made a stupid mistake.

"You don't have to explain it to me." Jean nodded with joy in her heart.

Her cell phone had died? Well, that was really a good and suitable excuse for Avery, the super star.

After all, her assistants were the ones who took care of her daily life, so she didn't have to worry about trivial things like her charger.

Jean thought of yet another excuse to make the two of them spend time together.

She opened her mouth with a smile on her face, "I think you must be hungry now. Let's go downstairs and eat something. It's long time for breakfast."

"I've just woken up and don't want to eat right now. Don't wait for me. You two can go down and eat

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

and painful.

He didn't want to do anything against his will. And he also didn't want to hurt Jean and Avery.

When he was still struggling with it, there was a loud knock on his door. Avery anxiously cried, "Moore, are you there? Jean's foot is still hurting, so it is really hard for her to go downstairs. Can you help her?"

Moore quickly calmed his face before opening the door. Looking at Avery, he frowned and asked, "She was okay just now, wasn't she?"

"Yes, but only for the flat road. As for the stairs, she can't manage it by herself," Avery explained to Moore, forcing a smile.

"Well, I got it. Let's go." Moore sighed, turning around for the outside.

After hearing Moore's answer, Avery looked delighted.

Jean's plan worked. 'She is a very smart and kindhearted girl, ' thought Avery.

When Avery was still lost in her admiration for Jean, Moore suddenly turned back. So he saw Avery's smiling face.

He was dazed for a moment with a complicated look on his face. Then he looked at Avery but didn't say anything.

"What do you want to say?" Avery was an excellent actress. She quickly calmed her face and asked Moore.

She was perfectly composed and made it as if the person standing there with a smug look on her face just a minute ago was someone else.

"Nothing." And then Moore looked deep into Avery's eyes. The look on his face became colder than before the moment when he had turned back.

Moore murmured in his mind, 'This looks like another one of Jean and Avery's clever plans.'
