Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Shirley was so nervous that her hands trembled and started to shake the dagger. As a result, the sharp dagger created a striking wound on Joy's neck. All of a sudden, blood gushed out of her neck.

Joy shrieked with pain, looking like she was in deep pain.

Unable to take it, Joy lost her consciousness. Seeing this, Shirley felt even more nervous. She wanted to continue holding Joy hostage to threaten the police. However, she found it extremely hard to drag Joy's heavy body in this state. Seeing the confusion on Shirley's face, the police surrounding her started to take immediate actions.

Every cop present there almost pounced on Shirley at the same time. Yet their purposes differed.

Some of them were snatching the dagger; some of them were rescuing Joy; some of them were suppressing Shirley...

In a matter of seconds, there was a shift in the atmosphere.

At last, Shirley was successfully caught and arrested by the police. When she was suppressed, she still tried yelling in panic and did all that she could do in order to resist.

But she was just a weak and feeble woman. Resisting several powerful policemen wasn't something she was capable of doing.

Shirley's hands were tied behind her back, but she glared at Billy fiercely. "Damn it. Do you want to play dirty with me now? They attacked me from behind while I wasn't noticing. In addition to that, you even deluded me..."

"It is because you are stupid," Billy retorted, stopping her from continuing. Coldly staring at her, Billy's eyes turned to the police car. "Get her into to the police car and make sure to keep an eye on her. This woman is full of deceit. Don't be tricked by her, or else she will run away."

"Yes, sir."

Shirley knew then that there was no point in struggling anymore. Knowing that nothing would help, she decided to calm down. As she walked over to Jean, a sort of sarcastic smile made its way to her face. Then, she said in a low voice, "Jean, you and the damn police have conspired to frame me. Let me tell you that I will not let you live a peaceful life. Mark my words......"

"Hey, this isn't something new. You have always tried to bring me down. But I am still alright, right? Now you can rot in the prison. Do you think you will have any chance to play your little tricks while you are inside? I think you better worry about yourself. I've heard that prison life is hard!" Jean replied, looking victorious.

It was just a few sentences but Shirley's face turned livid with rage. Sitting inside the police car, her face was red with anger.

After the car was out of their view, lan and Billy came over to Jean. Ian warmly reached out his hands and held Jean's softly. He was very thankful to her and couldn't think of a way to show it.

Even Billy, who originally looked as cold as ice, couldn't help passing Jean a grateful look.

After bidding farewell to everyone present, Jean got onto the car and looked out of the window with her tired face. This had been a long day and Jean was in serious need of some rest. The whole commotion left her feeling fatigued. Gazing outside, she started to play everything that happened today in her mind. Slowly, she let out a sigh.

'Shirley is arrested and Joy is being sent to the hospital. Carlos and his men are caught and taken to the police station. He should be convicted of the crime based on his oral confession. Everything is being handled well, 'realized Jean. Yet Jean was not content. Somewhere deep down, something was bothering her but she couldn't understand what it was.

'Shirley's words didn't scare me nor am I worried about her living in the prison. Then why am I still not in a good mood?' wondered Jean.

Inexplicably, no matter how hard she tried, she was still in a sour mood.

Sitting beside Jean, Zed noticed the look on her face. After discerning her low spirits, he wrapped Jean in his arms, wanting to lift her spirit. In a caring tone, he whispered, "What's wrong?" Jean shook her head immediately on hearing his voice. "I am just tired," she replied.

This wasn't exactly a lie because she was very tired. She had spent hours dealing with this mess. It began at night but now she could see the faint streaks of dawn in the sky.

Jean didn't feel better until they got back to the Qi house.

The moment they reached near the gate, they saw Moore walking out, looking anxious. "How are you both? Are you okay?" he asked without wasting a second.

Instead of asking about the progress of the case, Moore questioned about their health.

All of a sudden, Jean was touched and a smile crept on her face. With her gaze fixated on Moore, she continued to smile. "We are fine. And we are completely safe. Well, instead of resting in your room, why are you waiting for us here?" Moore rushed out of the house as he heard the sound of the car. Thus, Jean was very certain that Moore hadn't slept at all the whole night.

"How could I fall asleep when something so dangerous was happening?" Moore replied back with a bitter smile. He noticed that Jean and Zed looked unwell. "Eat something first. After that, you can go upstairs and take a rest," he advised.

On Moore's mention of food, Jean realized how hungry she was.

And so, she hurriedly nodded and walked towards the living room.

When she saw Western food ready on the dining table, Jean surprisingly looked up at Moore. "Moore, did you cook all of this?" she asked, unable to believe he was such a great chef.

"I felt bored staying at home all alone. I casually cooked when I came to know that you were almost coming back. It is still hot. Hurry up and eat them!" Moore replied in haste.

"Moore, thank you." Zed, who had been silent since he came back, finally patted on Moore's shoulder while he expressed his gratitude. Afterwards, he said,"Have a seat. Let's eat together! You didn't sleep the whole night either. Besides, you were also concerned about us. Aren't you tired too?"

"I'm fine," Moore replied. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Don't treat me as a patient. I can take care of myself."

"Okay. And so, let's just eat!" Jean said, wanting to start eating. As soon as she finished speaking, Jean felt impatient and dived straight for the food.

All of them were really hungry because they had been subject to both physical or mental sufferings.

The big dining table was overlaid with food. All of the food was prepared by Moore and the three of them took great pleasure while they ate it.

After eating to her heart's desire, Jean looked a little better. Rubbing her bulgy belly, she sighed contentedly.

Zelda got up upon hearing their voices. Seeing that they had been full, she hurriedly began to clean the table.

With a lifted spirit, the three of them came to the living room. Moore looked at Jean and Zed with complex facial expressions. Several times, he wanted to question them about their journey but he noticed their fatigue and decided to do it some other time. But now they looked a lot better to him.

Jean looked up at Moore and analyzed his suspicious look. She suddenly realized what Moore was thinking about. Then, she said with a smile, "As we have guessed, it was Shirley who created all this trouble. But now we have nothing to worry about because Shirley has been caught and arrested by the police."

One by one, she told him everything that happened in the past couple of hours.

Moore listened to her with an intent look. In fact, he never interrupted or questioned her.

"I never thought that she could have killed her own brother! How cruel she is! For her own safety, she even threatened her own mother. No wonder that Joy became too furious and fainted," Moore said with a deep sigh.

"You should have seen Joy's face. She realized all her mistakes today. She clearly knew that Shirley conspired with others to cheat us in order to get the one hundred million cash," Zed said with contempt.

"Yeah, it's true. That's just karmic retribution." Moore nodded, realizing Joy got what she deserved. "I wonder how she is going to feel once she gets back to her consciousness."

Jean involuntarily cast a glance at Moore and asked smilingly, "Moore, are you feeling pity for Joy?"

"I am not feeling pity for her. This incident shows the importance of proper parenting. Shirley's final end is a typical lesson for irresponsible parents who don't teach their children," Moore explained while shaking his head.

Jean approvingly nodded upon hearing Moore's words and replied, "Anyway, Joy has been completely aware of her daughter's fault. In fact, she always knows it. Actually I am more worried about Henry who is still in the hospital." As Jean uttered this name, the room fell into a pin drop silence.

"Yes. That's right. Now Henry has been differently-abled. He still hasn't completely recovered from the blow he has just suffered. He has to come in terms with the fact that Shirley is the true murderer of Winner... This must be really hard for him," Zed said while he thought about the downfall of the Wen family.
