Julie was wide awake now. She stammered, "Are you still at the hotel? I'm coming to see you now. I can explain it to you."
"No, I'm not at the hotel. You can explain it to me on the phone," Zed said in a cold voice.
Julie's heart raced.
It never occurred to her that Zed might check Jean's cell phone, so she didn't bother to delete the content she had uploaded on her WeChat Moments. Her purpose was just to use the photos to stimulate Jean and drive her away from Zed. She was sure that their conflict would continue to escalate because of those photos. Her final goal had been to break them up completely.
However, things were not going according to her original plan at all.
"Zed, listen to me. It's not what you think. I… I just..." Julie tried to make up some story, but Zed's call was too sudden. At that moment, her mind was completely blank. She immediately changed tactics and burst out crying instead.
"It was a mistake. I shouldn't have done that. But Zed, you know how much I like you. To be honest, I really couldn't control my jealousy towards your wife. That's why I resorted to much extremities. Please forgive me. I will never do anything like this again."
Julie continued to cry on the other end of the line.
Zed was shocked by her revelation. He didn't think that Julie would ever do such a thing. He gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it. There's no need to talk about that anymore. I don't want to have any contact with you after this. Stay away from me."
Saying that, Zed hung up on her.
Jean looked at him in astonishment. "She's crying so hard. Why didn't you try to comfort her?"
"Comfort her? Why would I? She fooled us both and tried to separate us in such a despicable way. There's no need for me to comfort the likes of her." Zed put his hand around Jean's shoulder to hug her. He inhaled her familiar scent and said in a low voice, "Baby, no matter what happens in the future, please tell me about it. Talk to me. Can you promise me that? You don't know how much pain I went through during this period. Your misunderstanding was already driving me crazy, and to top that, you moved out and refused to even talk to me. I felt really, really terrible. Every day was hard for me."
Jean bit her lower lip in shame.
She hadn't expected that Julie would be such a scheming woman. She was utterly fooled by Julie's wicked trick. When Jean recalled the days when she had shed all th
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...
d, "Drug? What drug?"
"The drug that drives men crazy! You're already an adult, aren't you? Don't you understand what I mean?" Julie shouted at him in anger.
"Oh. I got it. I'll get my hands on some right away. I know a place where I can get it," he said with a dirty laugh.
"Then go and get it as soon as possible. I'll come to the hotel in a while. Arrange the room nearest to Zed's office for me in advance. I'll be waiting there. Bring him to that room when the time is right," Julie ordered between clenched teeth.
She made up her mind to try all dirty means necessary to get Zed.
The photos she had uploaded on her WeChat Moments before were all fake. But after today, everything would become true!
She would not only make sure Jean knew about it, but all the staff in the hotel would know about it as well. Zed would have no other choice but to take responsibility for her.
This time, she was gambling on her reputation. As long as she could get Zed, she didn't care about anything else.
After taking several deep breaths, she got ready and left the hotel in the south. She took a cab directly to the J Hotel.
She silently entered the room Hess had arranged for her in advance, and waited for Zed. Meanwhile, Hess called Zed and informed him that there was some very urgent business to attend to at the hotel. And so, Zed bid farewell to Jean and headed back.
Hess mixed the drug into Zed's drink and placed it on his office desk. In order to make sure he drank it, Hess made sure to prepare Zed's favorite tea.
In the room next door, Julie began to smoke as tension rose in her heart.
