Chapter 114 Couples Show (2/2)

And our marriage is just a business agreement. The only thing connecting us is the marriage certificate. We are not a true couple. If the conditions of our marriage are discovered one day, where will the Qi Group and I end up?' Jean thought.

Jean was desperate to find a way out of this predicament. But no matter how she examined t

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...

r introduction, Jade had been nothing but kind and loving toward Jean. 'If she really did plan all this, then she must have a very good reason, Jean concluded.

But Jean really didn't want to attend that show. Therefore, she hoped Zed would find a way to wiggle out of this without offending Jade or ruining Jade's relationship with her old friend. Jean thought, 'Zed is always cold and stern. He is also quiet and secretive about his life. He will be more unhappy about this than I am.'

Thinking that Zed would support her decision not to go, Jean felt relieved.

To pass the time, Jean had a bath and then she watched TV. When she started yawning, Jean glanced at the watch on her wrist. Her eyes widened when she saw the time. It was almost 10:00 PM. Where was Zed?

Jean was so tempted to call him, but she knew that he would be furious if she interrupted his work. After struggling with herself, Jean decided it was best if she went to sleep. That way she wouldn't be glaring at the ticking minute hand, and she wouldn't be tempted into calling Zed and earning his wrath.

Jean didn't know how long she had slept for. She was woken by the persistent ringing of her phone.

Jean picked up the phone and looked at the screen. Zed's number flashed on the screen. Relieved, she swiped to answer the call.

”Hello.”

”Hello, is this Mrs. Qi speaking?” Jean was dazed when she heard a woman. She had been expecting Zed's gruffly voice. Then she realized the voice belonged to Zed's secretary.

”Yes? Where is Zed?”

”Boss has drunk too much. We're at a nightclub. He doesn't want to leave but he keeps murmuring your name. Mrs. Qi, could you please come and take him home?” The secretary asked.

'A nightclub? Zed actually went to a nightclub? A place that is full of all kinds of women?

Wait, wait. Did the secretary say that Zed had been murmuring my name? Could it be?' Jean finally realized something.
