Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

When Avery heard that Moore was going to accompany him to meet Juan at the airport, she suddenly got really happy. She said, "That's so great, Moore! I knew that you'll agree to go with me!"

Moore looked at Avery and smiled.

'Now that you want to tell everyone about our relationship, I have nothing to worry about!

I'll respect your decisions as I've accepted your love and promised to be your boyfriend. And I will try my best to do whatever you want me to.

If I don't promise you anything, you will get sad. And if you get sad, this will only worry Jean, 'Moore thought.

Moore lowered his head in a bittersweet mood.

It was 8 o'clock when they arrived at the Bai family's house. The place was on the eastern side of the city.

Many expensive cars were parked on both sides of the parking area of the house.

Besides the luxurious cars, there were some normal cars parking outside of the house too.

Jean wore a light blue dress and with a sweet smile on her face, she walked slowly towards the entrance. Zed held her hand.

"Welcome, Mr. Qi!" Hanley was dressed up in a white suit. He was standing at the entrance with a big smile on his face. He was greeting all the guests as they entered the party.

As soon as he saw Moore and Avery entering, he smiled and lowered his head. He had not expected them to come. After a little while, he lifted his head and smiled at them.

Hanley had gone the other day to invite Moore to tonight's dinner party, but Moore didn't give him a definite answer.

Hanley had thought that Moore would not be willing to come to this party.

It truly surprised him when he saw Moore.

"Welcome back, my brother!" Hanley greeted Moore and smiled.

"Well, why do you call me your brother in front of others? Aren't you worried that your plan will fail tonight?" Moore walked up to Hanley and reminded him coldly.

Hanley was embarrassed as soon as he heard that. He hadn't expected Moore to be this ruthless and cold-blooded. "Moore, you're my brother. That is a fact and nobody can change it! What plan are you talking about? I don't understand anything!" Hanley didn't want to expose his plan, so he deliberately changed the topic and said, "Jesus Christ! Who is this beautiful young lady? Is she your girlfriend? I know her! Isn't she an international star, Vikki?"

Hanley asked Moore and pretended as if he was surprised.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Vikki!" Avery greeted Hanley and smiled sweetly at him, in an attempt to break the ice between Hanley and Moore.

Hanley was flattered by Avery's enthusiasm, so he replied with a big smile on his face, "Nice to meet you, too! I'm Hanley! Welcome to the dinner party!"

Avery nodded at Hanley and smiled. Then she followed Moore into the hall.

Moore wanted to avoid others' curiosity about his relationship with Zed and Jean, so he didn't go straight to Zed as soon as he entered.

Instead, he wandered around and got two cocktails from the waiter's tray for him and Avery. Then he said, "Avery, if you get bored with me, you can always go and find Jean."

"No, I don't want to leave. I want to stay here with you!" Avery looked at Moore affectionately and shook her head.

"Go ahead. I'm afraid that you'll get bored," said Moore as he looked at Avery and sighed.

"Moore, don't worry about me. I'll stay here with you. I'll even keep quiet, please let me accompany you," Avery begged him.

"Avery, you don't have to stay with me." As soon as Moore heard what Avery said, he instructed her to sit on the chair. He looked around and then said, "I can't recall what past in this house was like. I won't be sad, so you don't have to worry about me." "No, I'm not worried about you," Avery said and shook her head. She continued, "I know you are very brave and strong. You've been alone for many years now. You've suffered all by yourself. Moore, I know that you will deal with the situation today. I don't have to worry about anything, right?"

Moore looked at Avery and he was stunned for a moment. After a little while, he shook his head helplessly. Then he raised his glass of wine.

'Avery, you're wrong!

I'm not strong enough to resist this pain.

I just don't want you to see how weak I've become! I deliberately asked you to find Jean because I don't want you to see me like this. I want to be alone for a while! But... Moore thought.

Jean saw that Zed was greeting his business partners and didn't have time to take care of her. She was bored so she started looking around for someone to talk to. Just then she spotted Moore and Avery across the hall. They both seemed a little bored. Jean said, "Zed, I'll go over to Moore and Avery to talk to them."

Zed looked at Jean, nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead! Take care of yourself. Your ankle hasn't fully recovered yet."

"Yes, don't worry about me. I just want to talk to Avery," Jean nodded and turned around.

Avery noticed that Jean was walking toward her. She smiled and began to tease Jean, "Jean, how can you be so ruthless to leave Zed alone and come to us?"

"Don't tease me like that, Avery! I just

don't like attending such formal occasions. You know what?

Although don't know anyone except you, I still have to stand beside Zed and greet them all with a smile on

my face. It's so embad and

boring!" Jean complained

impatiently. "How about you? Why are you sitting here? By the way, Moore, have you made up your mind?"

Moore looked at Jean and nodded without saying anything.

"Decide what?" Avery asked in confusion.

"That Moore's ready to fight against Gary and announce to leave the Bai family!" Jean came up to Avery and whispered in her ear.

"What the hell?" Avery was shocked when she heard what Jean said. She looked at Moore in astonishment.

"Moore, have you really decided to do that? I remember Jean telling me that Gary didn't want to abandon you in that year. Yes, he is married to another woman, but I heard that he might have a reason behind this. No matter how much you hate him, you should give him a chance to explain the whole thing. I think it might not be that simple."

"We once gave him the chance to explain. But unfortunately, he did not seize the opportunity. We don't want to act so coldly, but things have worsened. Gary is the one who should be blamed, and he has no right to ask Moore to do anything," Jean sighed helplessly. "What does Gary have to conceal? Why is he so reluctant to tell the truth? I don't understand why he is keeping the secret when there has been a lot of misunderstandings," Avery looked at Moore and asked in confusion.

Moore grinned bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

"I don't care what he has in mind. I only know that he chose to abandon Moore. And that is the last thing I can tolerate!" Jean shouted angrily.

"Jean, calm down now!" Moore exclaimed. "A ruthless person like Gary is not worth your anger."

"Excuse me! Are you Moore Bai?" A waiter suddenly appeared in front of them and asked Moore.

"Yes, I am!" Moore looked at the waiter and replied doubtfully.

"Mr. Bai invited you to go upstairs to the second floor," The waiter said politely.

'Who? Mr. Bai? Did he refer to Gary?' Jean thought with confusion.

Jean's face suddenly darkened. She turned towards Moore worriedly.

Moore hesitated for a while. Then he frowned and said, "Go back and tell him that I have nothing to talk to him."

"Mr. Bai knew that you'll refuse, so he asked me to tell you something else too. He told me that if you go up now, he'll tell you everything. But if you don't go, you'll miss the chance to know anything," said the waiter. "Well, I'd rather miss this chance! Tell him that I don't care!" said Moore as he sniffed coldly.

Avery got anxious as she saw Moore getting angry. She was worried about him.

She wanted to calm him down, but she didn't know what to say in order to calm him down.

"Moore, since we all are here tonight, you should go upstairs and talk to him! It's a good chance!" Jean was lost in thoughts for a while and then she persuaded Moore. "Last time we met him, he was not willing to tell you anything. Maybe he wants to tell

you the reason now. Do tell

to know who made
