"You said the same thing as Juan did. He could hardly wait to see you too! Did you know that when he heard that I had married you, he decided to come here right away to see you? He has booked the earliest flight to H City, so you two will be able to meet the day after tomorrow when he arrives,"
Zed said raising an eyebrow at Jean and smiling mischievously.
"No, the reason why he is so eager to come to H City is that he misses you! I don't believe that his coming has anything to do with me," said Jean pouting cutely at Zed.
"Well, it seems that you have a clear estimation of yourself," Zed said as he burst into laughter.
"You!" Jean was becoming annoyed at Zed's teasing. "Come on, Zed. You've gone too far. Aren't you afraid that Juan will be disappointed when he sees me, if his expectation for me is too high?"
"Don't worry about that. I'm quite confident with the choice that I have made," Zed replied proudly.
"What makes you so smug?" Jean's cheeks flushed pink at Zed's comment.
Moore quietly observed Zed and Jean flirting with each other from the corner of the room.
Although Moore felt a little bitter in his heart, there appeared a small smile on his face when he saw Jean smiling happily.
"Jean and Zed love each other so much!" Avery exclaimed happily, watching them teasing each other. "It was my own decision to quit showbiz. I have to thank Zed and Jean again. If it wasn't for their help and support I wouldn't have been able to handle it," Avery said to Moore in a relieved voice.
Moore brought his attention back to Avery. "No matter what problems you encounter in the future, do remember to tell us, so that we can all help you find the best way to solve them. Now, you must have a clear understanding of Jean's character. She regards you as her friend and she is nice to you and treats you well. She cares for you with all of her heart and soul. So remember not to do anything to upset her again,"
Moore instructed Avery sincerely.
She nodded her head. "In future I'll keep that in mind." Avery cleared her throat and asked in a soft voice, "Moore, now that you know the real reason why I came to H City was because of you. Have I made a bad impression on you?"
Moore looked at her puzzled. "Why would you ask such a question?"
Avery looked meekly at Moore and said with a bitter smile, "I don't want you to believe that I'm a calculating and impulsive girl. I am afraid that you might think me irresponsible and will suffer losses because of my temperament."
Moore studied Avery for a moment then said earnestly, "Since you know that you a
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
edly at him.
Zed was stunned and lost for words for a moment. He then threw his head back and burst into laughter. "Come on, Jean. Are you serious? That's the reason why you came out to see me off, so you could ask me that?" "Yes!"
Jean stayed firm crossing her arms waiting for his answer. "All right. To be honest, if you hadn't asked me to offer some advice to Avery, I would have totally forgotten that Juan is also running an entertainment company. It may surprise you that Baiton Entertainment Corporation is founded by him only to idle away his time, and it's more like a hobby to Juan.
He is running more than a dozen small companies including the Baiton Entertainment Corporation." Jean wasn't buying it. "Really? Are you cheating on me?"
Jean asked in great astonishment. "Come on. There's no need for me to cheat on you!"
He looked at her and replied with a bitter smile. Jean hesitated for a moment, then she looked at Zed and said in an angry tone, "I'm still not sure if you're cheating on me or not! Zed, I still can't figure out one thing.
How on earth do you know Juan? He is so wealthy!" "He is very wealthy... Well, that may be," Zed answered himself and then looked at Jean and quipped. "What's wrong?
Are you having some ideas about him after hearing that he is a rich man?" "You bastard!
How can you say that about me and belittle me like that? I am not a superficial woman!"
Jean snapped back with her hands on her hips. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that," Zed said trying to console her. "As for how I met Juan... I saved his life to be exact. He doesn't like being indebted to anyone. Once, he even followed me for three months in order to repay me. Fortunately, I escaped from that."
