NovelUpdateJean hurriedly turned away, her chin dipping downward as if she wanted nothing more than to avoid this
conversation. "This has nothing to do with you, so stop asking!"
Even though she said that, she was thrilled on the inside. That damned Adam had seized every opportunity to
humiliate her while Brad was away from Janctera City. Now that Brad was back, it was tfor her to settle the
score.
Wasn't Adam determined to bring Brad back into the family fold? Jean would make sure that didn't happen. After
all, Nadine Scott was no match for her.
Presently, Jean looked as though she had been gravely wronged. Brad had once promised her that he would take
care of her for life, whether in wealth or poverty, in sickness or in health.
Back then, when he had a heart attack and his life hung by a thread, Jean was diagnosed with kidney disease.
Not wanting to be a burden to him, she went abroad. But now that he had the means to take care of and cherish
her, there was no way he would stand by and watch her suffer.
Jean couldn't stop her tears from falling, her teeth sinking into her lower lip. "Please, just drop it, okay?"

Lynn stood frozen beside the bed, watching the scene unfold with her mouth agape. If being a master
manipulator was a competition, Jean would definitely cout on top.
After sobbing in his arms for a while, Jean stopped. After all, men preferred to be met with a smile, not a tear-
streaked face. Having dried her tears, she rested her head on his shoulder and asked softly, "I must have looked
awful when | was crying, right?"
Brad wasn't really paying attention when Jean was crying, as his thoughts were consumed by the image of
Nadine's quiet, stoic gaze. He remembered when his mother berated her. Nadine hadn't said a word back then.
She just stood there, her long lashes casting shadows on her cheeks as Evelyn hurled insults at her.
At the time, he thought Nadine was an incredibly patient person, someone who would just take whatever was
thrown at her without ever fighting back. However, he later discovered that nothing could be further from the
truth.
