Chapter 965 Sleep Alone

"Why would you sleep alone? Isn't your lover with you?" Jean mocked.

She sounded sarcastic but was hurting inside.

How could she pretend to turn a blind eye when Julie was rubbing it in, by showing off her intimate relationship with Zed online? She had to admit, it affected her deeply.

Jean needed to remind herself that Zed was having an affair with Julie. She should never allow herself to be moved by his words. Otherwise, she would be doomed to repeat the same mistakes again and focus her life around him. If she weren't careful, she would end up just like an abandoned child without a place to live.

With that in mind, she came to her senses and pushed him away.

"What can I do to prove it to you so that you believe me?" Zed asked helplessly and then let out a long sigh of despair.

He had explained it countless times to her, but she still didn't believe him.

Zed noticed that Jean had suddenly become gloomy and he tried to comfort her. "All right. Let's not talk about this, okay? There's something that I have been wanting to tell you."

He wanted to get closer to her and he reached for her hand, but Jean frowned and pulled her hand away from him. The thought of Zed holding Julie's hand disgusted her, so she didn't want him to touch her.

Seeing her reaction, Zed didn't want to force himself on her. "I went to the south today to see a hotel that was up for sale. The location is excellent. I'm already in negotiations to buy it. I wanted to buy it first and then tell you, but I couldn't wait to see you."

"And? How does that have anything to do with me?"  Jean looked at him blankly.

"Of course it does. When I buy that hotel, I'm going to give it to you. Then you can do whatever business you want over there, or you can manage it. I'll help you," Zed said, looking at her with anticipation. He was hoping to see a little surprised joy on her face, but he didn't.

Jean replied without a trace of emoti

g with daggers in his eyes at James. "Oh, I see what's going on here. You're in love with Jean, aren't you? Then I won't let her stay here with you. I'll take her away with me tonight!"

"What gives you the right to do that?" James grabbed him by the collar again.

This time Zed knew what to expect and was ready for him.

The two fought aggressively

and punched each other with raging fists.

Hearing the commotion outside, Jean opened the door and found the two men fighting each other. Both of them had cuts and bruises on their faces, but James seemed to be injured more. His mouth was bleeding profusely.

"What the hell are you two doing?" demanded Jean as she strode toward them.

"Jean..." Zed looked up at her and saw her tear-stained face. His heart shattered into a million pieces. He stood up, approaching her.

However, Jean ignored him and went straight to James. Squatting down, she helped James up. "Are you all right?" asked Jean in a gentle voice. "Does it hurt?"

"I'm fine. I just can't stand to see him upsetting you," James said, wiping the blood from his mouth.

Jean glared at Zed and reprimanded, "You still don't think it's enough, do you? What will it take for you to stop?"

"Jean, why are you defending him?" An angry emotion burned in Zed's heart.
