Chapter 343 Playboys Affair Exposed (1/2)

Standing on the stage, Jean stared at her phone, still in shock about the messages she received that she didn't feel Maranda's presence beside her. ”Oh my... is that... Dear Lord, Jean, that's wonderful! You can finally get rid of this playboy once and for all!” Maranda acclaimed. She was confident that this would bring Ethan down and thankful that someone saved her dear friend from all the misery that man had brought about.

With a frown on her face, Jesse looked at Jean with great disdain. She knew her plan was starting to fail the moment she saw Maranda perk up as if rejoicing from the fact that they had a wild card in hand, ready to throw to win this battle. Her heart sank at the thought of her defeat.

'What is in that text message Jean had just received?' Jesse wondered in desperation.

She bit her bottom lip, trying to compose herself after feeling a sense of panic. She thought about the people who could possibly help Jean this time and cursed whoever they were in her mind.

She looked around, scanning everyone present and noticed that all the possible people who could help Jean were here in this very room. 'Who else helped Jean this time?'

Jesse's train of thought was interrupted when Jean's voice circulated throughout the room. She was dying to know what Jean had received and what she planned to do next. ”Just now...” Jean stopped and deliberately cleared her throat as she composed her thoughts. She faced the audience, swallowing the lump on her throat once more and spoke,” Just to be clear, Ethan's affectionate speech tugged none of my heartstrings. His attempt to move me backfired, because I felt sick instead. It made me realize how terrible of a person he truly is that I even regret getting involved with him.”

The audience listened intently to every word Jean stated, earning her varied reactions. Some burst into an uproar of agreement while some kept their reactions quietly to themselves, only showing a mocking smile plastered on their faces.

Indeed, this was a reality. Those who did wrong deserved a consequence almost as intense as the faulty action done.

Of course, there were already some who had despised Ethan before this incident. They couldn't believe his audacity for being such a huge flirt in public.

Now hearing Jean say that, many people felt the same instantly.

Jean paused for a moment, observing the crowd's reaction. She was satisfied that others nodded their head in agreement, but she couldn't help noticing how some people looked at her skeptically. Good for them. She had something to show them. ”Nonetheless, I know that some of you find it hard to believe just by mere words. In order to reveal Ethan's true nature and to prove that I have done nothing wrong, and I am innocent as I say I am, I will show you what I had just received. This would surely surprise you as it did to me despite knowing how horrible Ethan is. For sure, Mr. Lei here would care to explain what is happening,” she said in disgust, looking at Ethan's confused but nervous look.

Ethan stared back at her with narrowing eyes as if ready to hunt her down. His fists clenched tightly beside him. Jean stared back without fear and pressed a button on her phone to project the photos onto the screen.

One by one, the photos started to appear on the large black screen. Gasps emerged from the crowd.

Photos of a man and a woman beside him were projected. The man was obviously Ethan, and the woman was beautiful, but she wasn't Jean. They showed them in intimate positions that one of the images showed them kissing passionately.

Ethan's eyes widened in shock. Most of the audience turned to him to give him a disgusted look. He instantly felt humiliated, but in spite of the embarrassment, he felt his anger welling up inside of him. ”These photos are all fabricated! None of them are real!” He cried out, but his attempts seemed to be in vain for none of the audience looked convinced.

”Are you saying that I know about your plan of staging a dramatic scene today that I prepared and asked someone to edit these photos for revenge? If I had known you had such schemes, I wouldn't stoop down to your level!” Jean declared. She gave Ethan a cold and piercing glare. She couldn't believe that he still had the nerve to deny.

”I...” Ethan started but couldn't think of anything else to say. He was unable to respond, making him fee
