Tina continued, "Yanni was heartbroken at that time, so Zed had to accompany her and spend the tough time with her. It's not certain when Yanni forgot Kenneth and fell in love with Zed. But it is a well known fact since a long time ago that Zed has been good to Yanni, perhaps even better than Jesse.
On the other hand, there's nothing to worry, Jean. After all, you are Zed's one and only beloved. As long as you can muster the courage to inform him that you don't like Yanni and don't wish to see her, I think he will take your feelings into consideration and let Yanni go home earlier." Tina finished and waited eagerly for Jean's response.
On the other end of the phone, Jean chose to remain silent.
'No wonder when Yanni listened to me mention Jesse earlier in the car, her expression remained complex, but she showed visible signs of happiness when informed of Jesse's failures.
Now I get a clearer picture.
Taking unfair advantage of Zed's guilt for Kenneth, Yanni forcibly intervened between me and Zed. Also, she spoke to me arrogantly and impolitely behind Zed's back.
Yanni, you're disgusting!' Jean thought contemptuously.
She had been lost in the wilderness of her thoughts and had stayed silent for too long. "Jean..." Tina called her name worriedly.
Jean quickly responded with a cheerful and confident voice, "Don't worry, Tina. I know what to do. I'll take care of it. Don't worry about me. But if you could do me a favor, let this phone call remain between us. No one else should get a hint about this, especially Juan."
'If Juan gets to know, it will reach Zed too.
I don't want my weakness displayed before anyone.
Someone is trying to snatch my beloved husband from me. As Mrs. Qi, I must retaliate, shouldn't I?' At this point, Jean glowed red with rage.
"Well, you've my word. This will remain between us. Jean, if you have any questions, give me a call. I'll be at your service. Although I can't help you much, I can at least listen to you pour out your troubles,"
Tina uttered compassionately from the other end of the phone.
"Thank you, Tina." Jean was moved since she finally had a friend who was trustworthy.
'Yanni is Juan's cousin. As Juan's fiancee, Tina is supposed to have a closer relationship with Yanni than me.
But she still chose to stand by me.
As far as I'm concerned, this is already a big victory, ' Jean thought with a soft smile on her face.
"Jean, you don't have to be so formal with me," Tina replied.
After hanging up, Jean's lips curved upward in a long lasting
When her sister ran away from the wedding, Autumn was forced to marry Charles.
His name had been linked to innumerable ladies.
He had different girlfriends for every day of a year.
Autumn had never thought that she would fall in love with him.
nd nodded softly.
Jean bent down, picked up the phone and handed it over to Zelda. "Please, don't call her. And don't tell her about all this. She need not get involved in this."
"Why, Mrs. Jean?" Zelda retorted, utterly confused. She was only trying to ameliorate the situation by asking Zed's mother to provide some support. Zelda continued, "That lady dares to bully you under your own roof as if she was the law here. I can't help you deal with her, but Mrs. Jade can do it for sure!"
When Jean heard this, she rendered a warm smile in order to cool her down. "Zelda, I know your intentions are pure and good. But won't I be considered as a coward and a weakling if I had to rally behind Zed's mother to deal with her?"
"I..." When Zelda heard this, she realized that she had committed a grave mistake. She prepared to apologize. "Mrs. Jean, I didn't intend to do that. The way you rebutted and humiliated that shameless woman may have given her some idea about what a powerful woman you're."
"Well, since you have hopes on me, you should continue to have confidence in me, right? I really don't want to disturb the elders for these petty issues. You are aware that Grandpa Benjamin isn't well and needs Mother's care at all times. I can't afford to exhaust her with my troubles as well. She has plenty of her own," Jean remarked sincerely to Zelda.
Zelda immediately nodded and replied, "Okay, Mrs. Jean. I promise you I won't tell Mrs. Jade. I apologize for any trouble I may have caused. But Mrs. Jean... how can Mr. Zed let that kind of woman live here? She has been cruel, ruthless and arrogant towards you ever since she stepped her foot in this house. Something must be done..."
