Chapter 674 I Didnst Humiliate You (1/2)

”Jean, sweetie. Please don't worry about it.” Zed looked at Jean with a smile, cupping her right cheek in his palm, warm and comfortable on her face. ”I trust Juan's ability in business. Besides, I'm sure you wouldn't allow something like that to happen. With your help, Juan wouldn't even think of pulling off some stupid stunt. He won't make any decisions to sabotage the relationship between Avery and Moore either. Even if something happens, I am here to sort it out. So, don't overthink these things and relax.” He kissed her gently on the lips, reassuring, ”Okay?”

Jean smiled and nodded, questions still boiling up inside her. Zed turned to walk away. ”So Zed...” she called out. ”Did Juan know the actual reason of why you became one of the shareholders of his company?” Jean asked, unable to connect the dots, thinking to herself.

'My god! All this time I've been thinking he did everything to help Juan. It turns out that it was never his intention to bear risks alongside him.

As a result, he solved the problem by giving Juan a cheque.

Jean was moved on finding out Zed's intention. She didn't know whether to be happy or to just embrace him in her arms out of love.

'He does everything he can to protect me!' she thought.

Jean felt grateful. She had never expected anyone to be so concerned for her. She herself probably didn't take as much care of her own feelings as Zed did. Life had taken a beautiful turn for her.

”Zed. Juan is in a really bad mood. He's sitting all alone in his room. Let's cheer him up, okay?”

In her heart, she rejoiced at how she was the sole individual who he cared so much about, loved so much. But at the same time, she felt like teaching him how to do the same for others, especially friends who had been with him for years.

”Maybe Juan will feel
