Chapter 290 Am I Too Selfish
Zed had already expected that Jesse woulde in, so he stared at her with a poker face and spoke,"
I am tired..."
His voice was full of impatience and coldness."Zed, tell me what Jean came to see you for? After all, I
brought her in and I will feel uneasy if I don''t get things clear, especially after I saw her threaten you
arrogantly..."
''Do you also know that Jean came here because of you?''
Zed sneered in his heart, ''If you hadn''t make trouble, I wouldn''t have felt so embarrassed just now.''
It was also because of Jesse that Jean hated Zed more and he knew it.
Thinking of this, Zed felt a sharp headache.
He contemted and understood that it would take him a lot of effort to gain Jean''s love.
On the other hand, Jesse was startled to notice Zedpletely forgot her presence in the room.
''Did Jean do something to anger Zed?''
"Zed, I am sorry, I didn''t mean it!I shouldn''t have let here in. I am so sorry. I will never let her in
again!"apologized Jesse, as she looked at Zed, feeling self-condemned and uneasy.
"Forget it! It''s not your fault." Zed heaved a long sigh," She wanted a divorce and I didn''t agree."
"Zed, why didn''t you agree?" The mention of divorce made Jesse happy, but Zed''s reply to it brought
shock.
"Do you think it''s the right time to agree ..." Zed didn''t speak more but looked at Jesse and frowned.
"I got it!" Jesse interrupted furiously," I didn''t expect that Jean was such a woman, who would distance
herself with you after seeing that yourpany is in trouble and knowing that video was made against
you. What a scheming woman she is!"
"What did you say just now? Jean knows that the video is made to exploit me?" asked Zed, with a tinge
of surprise.
Realizing her mistake, Jesse opened her eyes wide and hastily added," Anyone with a brain can know
that. I went to see her yesterday and saw Maranda and Ron in her ward. It is well-known in Imperial
Capital that Ron is a very cunning man."
"Why didn''t I know that you went to spy Jean yesterday? What did you aim to find out?" Completely
perplexed, Zed had his eyebrows knitted in a frown.
''What the hell is Toby doing?
Why didn''t he inform me about this?
And that Ron, why did he go to the hospital with Maranda to see Jean? What is his motive?
Isn''t he in love with Maranda?'' Zed wondered.
"I..." Jean stammered. She regretted and cursed herself for not being careful with her words. ''Why did I
let it slip?'' she scorned herself.
Now she didn''t know how to exin it to Zed.
"I heard about Jean being hospitalized, so I went to see her! Don''t use the word ''spy'', Zed! I knew you
were busy and couldn''t spare time for this. But I also know you care about her, so I went to make sure
she is fine."
Being a quick-mindeddy, Jesse managed to escape with this answer.
Hearing this, Zed''s face softened a bit, but he continued to admonish her," But you didn''t tell me about
it afterward."
"I wanted to tell you but you didn''te homest night." Jesse felt aggrieved when speaking of this.
"Zed, where did you gost night?"
"I was invited to a dinnerst night to meet some big shareholders. I drank too much, so I didn''t get
back." Zed exined indifferently.
A look of understanding passed Jesse''s face and she nodded her head. She let out a long sigh of
relief.
When she got the news about Zed''s ident this morning and heard it was so close to the hospital,
she had an idea that Zed was with Jeanst night.
But after she saw the expression on Jean''s face and Zed''s reaction when they met, she discarded the
idea.
And she scolded herself for being so silly.
However, when these two asked her to leave and they talked for as long as ten minutes separately
inside the ward, this weird thought came up in her mind again.
She sat outside and tried to guess what they could be talking about.
Now Zed''s exnation took the weight off her shoulder and she felt relieved.
"Zed, you take a good rest and I am leaving now." Jesse now seemed to be in a good mood and she
smiled at Zed.
He nodded quickly because he actually wanted to rest.
Last night, he had less than two hours of sleep.
After thepany was in trouble, he busied himself at work and now he really felt worn out.
Seeing Zed''s tired eyes, Jesse felt distressed. She tucked him up tenderly and then crept to walk out of
the ward.
On the other side of the hospital, Jean walked back toward her ward and saw Moore sitting at the
bedside.
Surprised, she took a look at her wristwatch and noticed that one hour had passed since she went to
Zed''s ward.
Seeing that Jean was back, Moore hastily exined," I couldn''t feel sleep, so I came to see whether
you woke up. But I found that you weren''t here. Where did you go?"
It took several seconds before Jean found her voice. "Zed is in the hospital, so I went to see him."
"What''s going on?" Astonishment was disyed on Moore''s face hearing this.
"He was hit by a drunkard this morning. Fortunately, he is not badly hurt." Jean replied, in an indifferent
tone.
"So you went to see him, you..." Moore asked worriedly.
"I went for him to ask for a divorce, but I was rejected relentlessly. On top of that, I faced
humiliation."Jean felt helpless and heavy-hearted when she spoke about this. "I really can''t understand
why he still insists on keeping this marriage at this time, just for his ridiculous fame? Isn''t he tired of
this?"
"Jean, I do think that he is right in this matter." Moore abruptlymented, as he looked at Jean. He
knew Jean was going to kill him for voicing out this opinion, but he didn''t care.
"What did you say?" asked Jean with bulging eyes. She had the I-am-going-to-kill-you-look on her face.
"No man can divorce you under this circumstance. Even if he hates you to the bone, he will have to
maintain this marriage. If he divorces you, his fame and reputation along with his career can go down
the drain. You know Zed very well. He is such a shrewd and sharp-sighted man. How can he agree
your request?"

Moore exined to her patiently.
His words quieted Jean down and she had to admit what Moore said was absolutely right.
She always considered things from her own perspective and never considered Zed''s.
Now she thought and realized that Zed had all the important things at stake, and pushing him any
further would kill his career.
"Moore, am I very selfish?" This question was put forward by Jean in a guilty voice.
"You are a kind-hearted woman. You are tormented with remorse for giving others an opportunity to go
against Zed.You want to help Zed out of it and don''t want to incriminate him, which is why you thought
of divorcing him." Moore sighed.
''No, Moore.
I am not as great as you think and what you just said is part of the reason.
But the true reason is that I''ve given up on him after I found the rtionship between him and Jesse.
