At that moment, Jean knew what she had to do next.

Meanwhile, Zed glanced at Jean, whose bright eyes were shining intently at Juan. She looked at him like a lion staring at its prey, waiting to pounce.

Just by looking at Jean, he knew what was going on in her mind.

He wanted to stop Jean from her plan, but realized that he couldn't do anything as he saw how much Jean's pale and sickly face instantly returned its color because of the excitement.

Jean scoffed and shook her head. ”I don't care if you meant it or not. The answer lies clearly deep in your heart, and I can feel it no matter how much you deny it,” she said and gave Juan her smile again.

'The more you try to hide, the more you are exposed, Juan.'
