Chapter 865 But He Was In Love With Her (1/2)
”And? What did he say?” Kirk asked anxiously. Jean took a deep breath and said to him, ”Zed told me that he and Elizabeth barely talked to each other. The words they said to each other were probably less than twenty. What exactly are you suspecting? There is nothing going on between them!” Jean gave him a serious look and continued, ”Even they did have something going on, hypothetically speaking, it's all in the past!

”I knew she was waiting to find the right guy to marry when I met her,” Kirk explained. ”Back at the time, her family was trying to rush her into marriage. When I came into her life, it was like an instant solution to her problem. And so, she asked me to be her boyfriend. I really didn't mind. It was like... a small favor. But, before we realized it, time flew by, and it's been three years already. During those years, many eligible men came to her and tried to win her heart, but none of them succeeded. Elizabeth didn't even bother to look at them. At that time, I thought she might have feelings to
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. ”As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...
she liked Zed, or that she didn't want to marry Kirk anymore.
”Zed...” Jean called out. She took a look at Kirk and continued, ”Kirk just told me that their relationship was not real.”
