Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

Barton turned red from embarrassment. He tried to calm Jean down by saying, "If you don't want to say the truth, just forget I asked."

Jean wiped her tears with tissue. "You got it wrong, Uncle Barton." She slowly lifted her gaze to him and smiled. "It's neither because you asked me the truth, nor because you don't trust me. I'm crying because I just thought of something sad."

"Something sad?" Barton was momentarily stunned. "What happened? Did those reporters make up these stories? Tell me. I'll get them for what they did to you."

"No..." Jean shook her head slightly. "These journalists didn't make up stories. They reported on what they actually saw. But, they don't know the truth behind what I did. Julia fooled everyone, just like you."

"Julia?" Barton remembered his conversation with Zoe earlier. "She's your sister, right?"

"Yes," J

ou aware that these people think you are…?"

"I don't care." Jean flashed a tired smile. "As long as the people that matters know the real me, I don't care what others think."

Barton was delighted to hear Jean mention "the people that matters."

But at the thought of what Terence had done to his daughter, Barton became more infuriated.

At the beginning, he saw great potential in the young man, so he helped him. He was even proud of what he had achieved in H City. But now, he realized that he was wrong.

He couldn't just stand and do nothing after knowing what his daughter had gone through. He had to do something, but only if Jean and he were on the same page.

Barton looked at Jean carefully. "Jean, as for Terence…" Barton paused briefly and tried to test the waters.

"I'll try to forget him," she said after a moment's hesitation.
