Chapter 138 - Ruthless Queen
"SCOTT, HE SAID MY NAME." Jean shouted sadly.
"How could he do that, Scott. Every time Kiara and Ray were together I was there with them. So the letter and my trip to Maldives and other similar connections made me the ultimate seducer in their eyes."
"Without any word they sent me out of the country and warned me never to meet Raymond. They cancelled all my funds and accounts making me suffer to meet my expenses and university fees. That is when I met you"
"I never said this to you Scott. Because I don’t know how you will feel. Later Nathan came finding me but I ignored him because he is very close to Raymond. When we all went to Hawaii Nathan explained me all the things about Ray and Kiara."
"After that Kiara never talked with Raymond and agreed Nathan’s proposal. Remaining you know..."
" Thank you for coming into my life Scott. Without you I would have been probably dead are prisoned in mental asylum."
Scott stopped her with fierce kiss which is full of love and distress. "Never say that words ever again Jean. Please I couldn’t live without you..."
Unlike Jean who felt relieved that Scott will never judge her about this Nathan is now in internal battle with his heart and brain.
"Jean, Raymond is not guilty. Part of the guilt goes to me"
Nathan blurted out after his heart won against his brain which want to keep Raymond away from Jean.
"He was as helpless as you."
Nathan’s eyes are extremely grave as if he is remembered most gloomy situation of his life. Which is true. The guilt has always been chasing him whenever he see happy face of Jean. She would have been even more happy if Raymond is there with her.
He couldn’t ignore the fact that Raymond was her favorite not him. Nathan has been selfish to earn love from both Jean and Kiara. Now he is regretting for losing his close friend.
Jean who is utterly shocked from Nathan’s sudden confession that she couldn’t stop but grab her head in her hands. Why was she kept in dark though her brother know how much she hate it.
If Raymond is not guilty then why did she got punished by yearning for her other brother. Her eyes became red with anger while she clenched her fists as she glared at her dazed brother.
Everyone shivered by seeing her extreme fierce glare. Her aura is very similar to that of Scott’s when he is enraged. This is when they got to see how similar she is to Scott.
Davis patted his friend who is in daze of thinking something very seriously. Nathan then saw his enraged sister and gulped his already dry mouth.
" Nathan what do you mean Ray is not guilty. Dare to lie and you will face my wrath. I think you know who your sister is when she is betrayed or kept in dark"
Though her voice is extremely calm the warning lingering on it made everyone flinch except for Scott who smiled adoringly at the woman he loved.
Nathan involuntarily shivered how could he forget that he is standing in front of woman who is very renowned as Ruthless Queen in both business and her missions. Except for Scott no one even dared to look into her blazing eyes whenever she is angry.
When he accidentally saw her raged eyes he remembered how merciless and unrelenting she is. He looked at Scott begging for help, Nathan who said that he would protect his sister is nowhere to be seen. In turn he looked very scared by the woman he swore to protect.
Scott sighed looking at his friend. How could his friend forget that even he is helpless around the real Jean they feared. Jean glared at them who are talking with eyes.
She turned to Scott abruptly "Scott I hope you will not help him. If he will not say the truth you know how I extent I might go"
Scott looked into her eyes which are trying to conceal her true emotions. It is evident that her mind is in chaos and her heart is now fighting the turmoil. He dont want her to become demented and act out of impulse.
"Jean you know that I will not interfere into something you decide to handle. There is no need to take extreme measures because I know Nathan knew the consequences so he will say the truth" Scott looked at his friend silently warning him as well as suggesting not to prolongate this matter.
"Bro you woke up the ruthless queen. Don’t expect that we will side with you because you know the consequences of being in bad side of her. Even Scott can’t help, she is the boss"
David slowly moved away from Nathan’s side and stood beside Scott who is standing back of Jean. Showing that he is not in support od Nathan.
’Betrayers...’ Nathan screamed with his eyes but he cant blame his friends because if he would be in their shoes he will also do the dame. How can dare go against her decisions..
Even Kim is confused why all are acting weird like they are very scared of the woman who cried in their arms seeking for comfort. How can she easily transform into someone who even made their boss fear.
Nathan saw his sister who is unusually calm. The more calm she is the more her brain will be activated. Before her thoughts run wild he better confess his crime.
"Jean, after you were sent to abroad I couldn’t meet Raymond. I had tried many times to reach him but after that incidents it is like he just vanished."
"I didn’t stop searching for him. There was no place I left without searching for him. I wanted to meet you only after I find a answers which you needed to prove yourself as innocent. After lot of effort I found him."
" The condition in which I saw him then is as worse as yours when I met you in university. He was in depression and he barely looked as human. Looking at his plight didn’t dare to show myself"
" After hesitating for some days at last I went and asked him at last."
Nathan looked at indifferent expression of Jean. He didn’t say this all to Jean in Hawaii, he just said that letter was for Kiara and not for her. He only said her Raymond would not bother her anymore because everything was settled.
Then he took out the old version of audio recorder from his pocket. Jean instantly recognized it as the gift she gave to Nathan long back.
"When I went to him I was determined to create the evidence. I recorded all the conversation we had"
Jean who is enraged stood up and stormed towards him. Her aggressive nature made Nathan to mince backward which made him to escape from her fierce slap. He help her wrist
"Jean please listen to this audio and if you still feel like to slap me then I will gladly give myself to you." His pleading voice softened her a little.
Nathan then connected it to speaker and stood beside Scott who is holding Jean’s hand. "Scott better take her into your arms because she may not have even energy to stand after listening to this" He whispered to Scott.
Scott listened to his friend and took the angry cat into his embrace. After making sure Jean has nothing is in her hand reach Nathan turned on the audio. He is afraid that Jean would hurt herself if she smashes anything in her hand
