Chapter 285 You Are Totally Shameless (2/2)

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

Not to be deterred, Jesse said,” You are going to pay a heavy price for the way you have behaved with me today. Jean, you just wait and watch. I had come here to tell you, just so you know, your loving husband and my dear brother Zed, is currently in this hospital, lying unconscious. And look at you. This behaviour, you silly obnoxious woman.”

In that moment, Jean forgot about everything else. She cried,” What! What are you talking about?” She walked towards Jesse who was now near the door and held her by her arm. Jean's voice shook out of anger and she was trembling.

She couldn't fathom what was happening. Zed, unconscious, in the hospital - what was happening?

”What happened! What is wrong with him!” Jean exclaimed.

Jesse replied,” Why do you think I came in and waited for hours in this room for you to arrive. I wouldn't have hurried here. You know I don't particularly like to see you. I am here for Zed, because he is hurt.” Jesse exclaimed, a hint of anger palpable in her voice.

”If your dear brother is in the hospital, why are you standing here blaming and accusing me, instead of being with him?” Jean asked. ”How stupid do you think I am? You think I'll fall for any lie?” Jean let go of her grasp on Jesse's hand and took a few steps back. She sneered as she went back.

”I knew you wouldn't believe me, Jean,” said Jesse plainly. ”So I took a picture of Zed, as a proof to show you. This morning at about half past five, Zed was hit by a drunk driver. He met with a bad accident near the Pearl Hotel. Look how badly he has been hurt.”

Jesse quickly fished out her phone to show Jean the picture.

Jean raised her head, half expecting to see nothing. But she froze when she saw Zed's picture. The sight of him lying unconscious and badly hurt curdled her blood and made her go numb with fear for his life.
