Chapter 102 Together (1/2)
Upon hearing Zed's question, Jean felt goosebumps spreading across her body. She wondered, 'How can Zed say something so intimate in front of so many people?'
Jean bit her lip. At that moment, she hated Zed very much. She thought, 'I have to act in front of his parents at home. I'm fine with that. But now we are outside. Why should I still pretend to be a couple with him?
Zed is terrible for constantly putting me in these situations. What does he hope to accomplish with his unexpected appearance, his verbal fight with Ethan, and now this feigned concern and intimacy?'

Although he spoke softly, yet all the people present had heard him.
”Jean, let's go there in my car, okay?” Ethan said.
Before Jean could reply, Zed wrapped his arms around her shoulder and smiled at Ethan, ”Don't bother, Mr. Lei. She is my wife. Of course, she will be traveling with me.”
Zed and Ethan glowered at each other. They looked calm on the outside. But in fact, extreme hatred reflected in their eyes.
Even the crew standing around could sense that the two were jealous of each other.
In Selena's eyes, she was more beautiful and talented than Jean. She was still simmering over how these rich and powerful men were fighting over Jean.
As an international superstar, Selena thought that she was far more excellent than Jean in all aspects. She was sure that she could easily trample over Jean based on appearance alone. However, she didn't expect to be passed over by such a rebarbative woman. Since her meetings with both Ethan and Ze
