Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 543 It's Been A Long Time

Moore was confused!

Jean was dragging him into one brand store after the other and wouldn't stop. She just kept asking him

to try some suits out. Initially, he thought that she was trying to buy clothes for Zed and had asked him

to come along since Zed himself was busy and Jean needed someone for a helping hand. But this...!

After he had tried out a few suits, a satisfied smile finally came up on Jean's face, seeing which, Moore

was finally relieved that it was over now. But it wasn't!

When they reached the cash counter, Jean bought every single suit that he had tried on and dumped

them all in front of him, "These are your gifts! Take them. And no. I've already paid for them so you

can't say no."

Hesitation was wriitten all over Moore's face but Jean was right.

She had already paid for these clothes and it would make her look bad if he refused them all.

Moore didn't have a choice but to accept them all. But he took them with a warning to her, "All right, I

will take these. But no more! I will accompany you for shopping today onwards but you aren't allowed

to buy something for me anymore."

"You have my word." Jean smiled, "Rest assured, I won't do this again. I'm tired now, so let's head

back!"

"Won't you buy anything for yourself?" Moore asked in surprise.

"Today? No. My belly isn't big enough so it's too early for maternity dress. Also, the season is changing,

so I think I will wait. Besides, many of my clothes at home still have their labels on."

Jean shook her head and replied.

Hearing that, Moore nodded in agreement, "Let's head back! I should have known, you know... If I were

smarter, I would have known that the sole purpose of you taking me to the mall was to buy me some

clothes."

Moore smiled bitterly.

"You have been a great company to me. Buying you some clothes is just something I can do to return

the favor. We're all friends, aren't we?"

Jean smiled.

Though Moore smiled back in return, but letting Jean buy clothes for him was making Moore somehow

uncomfortable.

They walked out together and as they made their way to the gate, Jean saw Eva and stopped walking.

"Jean......" Eva saw them instantaneously too and greeted them happily.

"It's been a long time," Jean greeted Eva.

Though many misunderstandings had occurred between them, they had buried the hatchet after Eva

honestly told Jean some clues about the video incident some time ago. Since then, Jean had begun to

see Eva from a different angle.

"Yeah, it's been so long," Eva glanced slightly at Moore who was standing by Jean's side and smiled. "I

heard that you guys caught the person behind the video incident. Congratulations, you finally proved

your innocence."

Jean hadn't expected that Eva would mention the topic. She thought for a second and smiled, "It was

no big deal, maybe it's just a big joke people played on me."

'What Eva probably knows so far is that they had held a party to clarify the affairs between me and

Calvin!' thought Jean.

However, beyond Jean's expectation, Eva's following words surprised her, "That can't be right! Jean, it

was spreading wild on the Internet. The one who did it must be different from the one that doctored the

video! Don't you know that? I can't believe it."

Eva looked at Jean in surprise.

Jean felt that something was off in her heart. She looked at Moore in surprise and asked, "No, I don't

know that, but how come you know about it?" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Eva took a close look at Jean and sighed, "It seems that you really don't know anything. Here, see for

yourself. You are not going to be happy about this."

Eva took out her phone, turned to the last webpage she had visited and passed it to Jean.

As Jean took the phone from her hand, she felt a chill coming up her spine.

'Is it going to be about Calvin?

Didn't Hanley say that he would take care of this?

Was it too late to handle it properly?'

Jean felt uncertainty and fear taking over her mind as she continued browsing the webpage.

The Headline was pretty striking, which read: "The Video Incident Comes Out In The Wash, Mystic

Man Manipulating Everything?" And the content was rather substantial.

But what's more surprising was the fact that the person in this report was a total stranger to both Jean

and Moore.

Which meant that Hanley had taken good care of that.

Jean breathed a sigh of relief and returned the phone back to Eva with a vague look on her face, "I

don't know this man, why did he want to frame me?"

"People on the Internet found out his real identity. He was a waiter at that club. The reason that he

made the video was that he wanted to attract attention. See? People are crazy nowadays! They would

do anything just to be famous,"

Eva mocked with a disgusted expression.

Hearing this, Jean finally breathed of relief.

She had been doubtful about the waiter that Hanley had found.

Weren't people going to be suspicious about it?

But Hanley... he had chosen one of the most acceptable reasons to tell the public. He really knew what

he was doing.

After having a chat with Eva, Jean said goodbye.

After she saw that Eva walked into the the mall, a serious look appeared on her face.

"What's wrong?" Moore put the clothes in the trunk and got in the car. When he saw that Jean was

sitting there and thinking about something, he asked in a concerned tone, "Are you worried about the

video? Was it handled wrong?"

"No. It's just that... What Hanley did was quite impressive. He got the most ordinary man to take the

blame and found the most acceptable reason for the public. I think Calvin is safe now,"

Jean looked at Moore, and analyzed.

"Then why are you looking so serious?" Moore asked in confusion.

"I..."

Jean smiled bitterly and replied, "I just think that after the incident with Calvin, it's not fair for you."

"Why do you think it's unfair for me?" Moore couldn't help but laughed.

"Hanley threatened you with this, asking you to give up the Bai family's property, do you think it's fair?

You don't have to give up that much just for some irrelevant person!" Jean got emotional.

"First of all, though this Hanley was suspicious of getting behind this, it was me that made the deal with

Hanley. Secondly, Jean, you should understand that I don't want a dime from the Bai family. No matter

how much one half of Bai property is, it has nothing to do with me."

Moore looked at Jean seriously.

"I know." A bitter smile showed on Jean's face. "How can I not know what you are thinking about. But, I

think it should not be you who has to deal with this."

"You and Zed are my friend, your trouble is my trouble. Frankly, I really want to thank you."

Moore smiled at Jean.

"What do you mean? I don't understand." Jean looked at Moore confusedly.

"I don't want the Bais to get into my life and bother me with their troubles. It's been more than once that

I have expressed my stand, but they still don't believe me or leave me alone. With this incident, I finally

got some leverage to bargain with and Hanley listened. Now, I think I will have more undisturbed time.

So, do you think I should thank you for this?"
