Chapter 812 I Am On Your Side

"I don't know. I just feel a bit uncomfortable that we went in our room so early..." Jean said honestly.

"Jean, tell me the truth. Are you feeling uneasy because of all the people in the house?" Zed asked earnestly.

"More or less, I guess. But I think this feeling will pass soon," Jean said with a sigh. Her gaze focused on Zed. "We began planning to come to Imperial Capital a long time ago, Zed. Why didn't you tell me that your uncle and aunt were here as well? I was taken off guard when I saw them earlier."

"Would it make any difference if I told you in advance? You had enough pressure coming to see my parents and Grandpa. I didn't want to add more pressure to you," Zed looked at Jean and said sincerely. "Besides, I am with you. Even if I am not there for you, you have my mom. You know my mom, and she's so protective of you. Heck, she might even protect you better than I can. As long as you have me and mom, you have absolutely nothing to worry about."

With that, Jean pursed her lips as she contemplated. "Zed, be frank with me," she started. "Is your family not getting along that well with your uncle's family? Especially towards your uncle's wife?"

Biting her lower lip, she intently waited for Zed's answer.

A grim expression appeared on Zed's face. He thought about it for a while, pausing, and finally said with a sigh, "I don't know how else to sugarcoat this. But I guess you yourself have observed that the problem is mainly my aunt."

Jean nodded in agreement.

The way Sara looked at people was condescending and patronizing, which Jean felt very uncomfortable with.

Even if Sara did give Jean a jade bracelet, Jean had an idea that Sara was a really tough woman.

It was as if she was a woman who always got her way. Always.

Her mother-in-law was not a match to her at all.

"Is that the reason you left the Imperial Capital and moved to H City to start your business?" Jean seemed to realize the truth.

Zed gave a glance at Jean and then sighed, "Well...that is one of the reasons. The main reason is you."

With that, Jean felt her heart swell with love. She leaned her head on Zed's shoulder and sighed. "Can you fill me in on what happened? I don't want to be unprepared when I see her next time. If I knew about it earlier, I wouldn't have accepted this bracele

"Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"

When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.

Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...

fter quite a moment of silence, she sighed and said, "Alright. I know I am not a very good wife. My words have no influence on you at all…"

"No. No, that's not true, Jean." Zed got anxious hearing Jean describing herself this way. Taking her hands in his, Zed looked at Jean, his eyebrows furrowing.

"You let me finish," she said, looking at Zed seriously. "I don't know anything about the company, and I don't even know what happened to your family. Since your grandpa asked you to come back, I think your mom and dad must know the intentions of your visit, too. What about your uncle and your cousin? Zed, I know you don't want me to get involved and get upset.

I agree with you. But you have to make a promise to me. You have to take care of yourself. No risks, no accidents. This is the Imperial Capital. You are not familiar with the people or the place here. I am afraid you are not the rival of your aunt. That woman, although I've only met her once, I know she's definitely someone you should look out for. She's got good tactics.

I think maybe you should have a good talk with your uncle and cousin first. If they can interfere, probably things will be a lot easier to handle. Or maybe you don't have to deal with it personally at all,"

Jean said, looking at Zed expectantly.

"I have suggested that to my grandpa," Zed smiled wryly, "but Grandpa told me that I can't let my uncle and Kirk know that they are being sidelined by my aunt for the time being."

With that, Jean finally understood what Zed was trying to say.
