Chapter 351 Let Us Just Rest Assured (2/2)

Jesse had to think about it now.

As if reading her mind, Dan reminded,”We would be leaving H City soon, so think it over and think fast. You know very well that if you don't succeed in getting Benjamin's approval and blessing, you will never have the opportunity to marry Zed. So I expect you not to fail anymore.”

Dan gave Jesse a knowing stare. She nodded at him once more.

”Don't worry, grandpa.” Jesse assured with a firm voice. ”I won't commit any mistake from here on.”

Dan looked at Jesse and nodded back with a sigh. He would help her no matter what, and he knew very well that Jesse was a better partner for Zed than Jean could ever be. He quickened his pace to catch up after Benjamin and Jean before their lagging behind would arouse more suspicion.

Even then, Jean was one step ahead. She noticed how Dan and Jesse walked farther behind them for a long while and how they were talking in hushed tones. She was quite confident that both of them had been stirring up another scheme to bring her down.

Nonetheless, Jean shrugged this thought away but kept it on her mind, knowing fully well that Jesse might have had something mischievous in store for her. She focused her attention back to assisting Benjamin out of the park. As they were waiting for Jesse behind them so she could unlock the car, a sleek, black sports car suddenly appeared down the empty road and into their direction, stopping right in front of them.

On instinct, Jean rushed in front of Benjamin to protect him in case of a sudden attack.

'Grandpa's personality was more important than hers. I should keep him safe, ' thought Jean. Benjamin, in shock as well, was more surprised at Jean's concern for him.

Meanwhile, Jean stared at the car with a mixture of astonishment and caution. As the tinted glass window of the car's driver's seat rolled down, Jean finally saw who the culprit of this sudden appearance was. She gaped as her eyes widened in shock.

”Why are you here?” Jean exclaimed as she still couldn't believe her eyes.

The man took off his black sunglasses and grinned at her. ”Why not?”
