Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

However, in the current harsh situation, she had no time to think.

lan and Billy looked content and satisfied. "Tonight, you did a very good job. Thanks to you, we have successively cracked two cases effortlessly. Mr. Qi, you put forward the proposal previously, as you had expected that things would come to an end like this, right?" lan asked inquisitively, keeping his gaze fixated on Zed.

"To be frank, I haven't thought things would be so smooth," Zed replied. He then looked at lan with a forced smile. "I originally agreed to let my wife get involved in the investigation because I intuitively thought this must be associated with her. I agreed with her involvement in assisting with the case investigation, as I didn't want her to have any regret," Zed continued with sincerity.

"Anyway, I think your wife did a great job tonight. Your wife deserves credit for assisting the police in smoothly solving the cases. Once this case is completely over, I will bestow the awards to her in person,"

lan said smilingly as he turned his eyes to Jean.

With that, Jean involuntarily had a feeling of helplessness and her gaze shifted to Zed.

Without any other facial expressions, Zed just smiled at Jean as if she were his spoiled child.

"Ian, let's not discuss this for the time being! Don't you have something urgent to do?" Billy, who stood beside, reminded lan while clearing his throat because he really couldn't withstand to hear any more word from him.

"Oh, yes, yes." lan, who was smiling like the Maitreya Buddha, immediately nodded upon hearing Billy's reminder. He happily patted him on his shoulder.

In truth, Jean felt funny to see Billy's expression of forbearance.

"You are all going to jail. So, don't struggle like trapped beasts. Don't even dream of escaping. Both land and maritime police forces are here. Hence, you should be clear that you can't flee today. I will be lenient as long as you actively surrender and confess your crimes..." lan was shouting in an attempt to convince them to surrender. But suddenly, he heard a sharp and exciting voice. "Make way for me. If not, I will kill her," the voice said.

This sharp voice was familiar to Jean's ears. She tried to figure where she heard it.

It was a voice from a woman who sounded panicked.

Jean's facial expressions suddenly changed on hearing the voice.

In a hurry, Jean looked up at Shirley who looked very infuriated.

She saw nothing but Shirley holding a sharp dagger around Joy's neck. She had no idea where Shirley had gotten the dagger.

Joy was frightened and wore a livid face. Her eyes were pitifully turning to the police like she was in a lookout for help.

At the sight of all this, Jean couldn't help feeling great regret for her own carelessness.

Shirley had been put in such a desperate situation that it was possible for her to commit an extreme act.

In order to get away, Shirley even threatened to kill her own mother.

She had even become so vicious and reckless which sent chills down the spine of everyone who were present.

"Shirley, don't think that you can get away if you do something like that. Let me tell you. You will be not so lucky the next time, even if you flee away today," Jean warned her with great disgust.

"Don't talk nonsense. Let me leave, if you don't want me to hurt and kill her," Shirley yelled furiously, glaring at Jean straight in her eyes.

"Shirley..." Joy, who was being threatened, suddenly said in despair. "When did you become such a person? My silly girl, why have you become so cunning?"

"I have told you very early that I have turned into a demon. It is because you forced me to become one," Shirley replied as if she had become mad.

"Forced you?" Upon hearing her words, Jean sneered all of a sudden. "Don't try to make any excuse for your acts anymore. Shirley, don't pretend like you are the innocent victim here. You are discontented with what you have and think Winner is better than you. Do you know my feelings? For me, I spent all my life wanting to have the luxury you had. Do you know it?

You have always vented your anger on me ever since we were little kids. Besides, you always took the opportunity to degrade me. I am the one that didn't have enough to eat and wear. So please don't act like your life is hard. All this is happening to you because you are a greedy woman. I believe that you absolutely couldn't bear to live my past life, even for a day. That is how weak you are. Therefore, you have nothing to complain about. So please don't shift all your blame on others."

"Jean, don't judge or lecture me right now." Upon hearing what Jean had said, Shirley suddenly turned her fierce eyes upon Jean. "Just give me a car and put the one hundred million cash inside the car if you don't want her to die in my hands. I will let go of her if I am safe," Shirley replied briskly.

"You..." Jean was so angry that she wanted to curse Shirley terribly. But before any more word could come out of her mouth, Carlos, who had been trapped for a long while by Shirley, suddenly spoke.

"Shirley, you son of a bitch Don't even think of possessing that one hundred million cash all by yourself." Carlos looked furious after hearing Shirley's request for taking the money away. "You want to share the money, but it also depends on if you can survive to spend it," Shirley retorted in an ironic tone.

"You son of a bitch. I knew you from the beginning. You are nothing but an immature and ungrateful soul. You are threatening your own biological mother and taking advantage of her to escape. I despise you and hate myself for supporting you." Carlos started to curse her with his words.

"Whatever you say or however you look at me, I don't care. This cash belongs to me if I can escape away safely." Soon after finishing her words, Shirley sneered and added with great contempt, "Jean, hurry away. Don't hesitate anymore, or else I will get to kill her." To prove she wasn't joking, she forcefully pressed the dagger against Joy's neck.

All of a sudden, a tinge of blood started flowing down Joy's neck.

Joy felt a stabbing pain on her neck. She yelled because of the pain and burst into tears of sorrow.

"Shirley, I am really regretting now!" Joy yelled while crying out. "I wouldn't have given birth to you had I known you would turn out to be so cruel and ruthless. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my dear Winner and our Wen family wouldn't have been broken." "Mom, why are you still speaking such unreasonable words?" Shirley asked ironically.

"Shirley, don't think I'm a fool. I know why your father has been hospitalized. You intentionally spoke ill of Winner in front of Henry. You also exaggeratedly told him about the women Winner had played with and the gambling debts he had owed over the past years. It is because of all these information that your father became ill and got hospitalized.

You have planned all this for quite a long period. But you never thought that your father would finally come to his senses at this critical moment. In order that the Wen Group wouldn't fall into your hands, he even handed over the Wen Group to Jean. Let me tell you. You have asked for all that you have suffered today. Shirley, let go of me! It is still not too late. If you put the dagger down and confess your crimes to the police, then there will be a way out for you!"

Joy still couldn't help encouraging her to stop this insanity.

After all, Shirley was her daughter. Joy still couldn't bear to treat her own daughter heartlessly even if she was pointing at her with a dagger.

Jean was staring at all these scenes in silence. Suddenly, she felt a little sore and numb on her nose. She didn't know why. Shirley was detestable and so was Joy.

In fact, both Joy and Shirley were two birds of a feather. The two of them didn't deserve sympathy at all. 000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
