Chapter 904 No Longer A Fool (2/2)

If Zed didn't do it right, he might be blamed by the entire family. Kirk might hate him too.

If Jean knew what Simon was thinking, she might be able to help Zed.

A long stretch of silence passed without a word being spoken between the two of them. Simon merely looked at Jean, his face betraying his surprise at her question.

It was clear that he had never thought about it until now, and Jean's question had put him on edge.

Simon wanted to support Zed in any way that he could, so that he would be able to manage the company well.

”Jean, what do you think?” Simon responded with a question of his own.

He thought it best to know her opinion first before he said anything.

There was definitely no question about Jean's loyalty. She asked him such a tough question for Zed.

A part of him wanted to give her a hard time to see what she would do, but another part of him was simply curious about what she thought.

Simon already knew what his answer was. But he wanted to hear Jean's first.

Jean had not expected Simon to throw the question back to her. She was stunned and speechless for a moment, but she soon recovered and responded with a smile. ”Uncle Simon, This question is really difficult, and I don't think I am in any position to say anything. I just want to help Zed. That's why I asked you,” she confessed.

Jean bared her thoughts open to Simon. The older man was surprised at her answer. Smiling, he said, ”Alright. I already told Zed my answer. If you really want to know, you should ask him about it.”

Jean's mouth dropped open as she began to piece everything together. ”Uncle Simon, you just didn't want to tell me, did you?” she asked.

”That's not true. I already gave my answer to Zed. I was just afraid he wouldn't think it through. I told him when he was with Zack,”

Simon said to Jean.

Jean was left in shock once more. She looked at him with wide eyes and asked, ”Uncle Simon, what did you say to Zed?”
