Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

With a sigh, Jean asked Barton, "How is Miss Lin?"

"She's fine." Barton glanced at his daughter and said, "I sent her home after the examination. It was nothing serious."

"That's good." Jean pretended to be relieved. "Miss Lin is going to be fine. You can rest assured. It's been a whole night. You should go upstairs and get some rest."

"I know." Barton nodded, but he didn't move. Instead, he just stared at his daughter.

Noticing the look in Barton's eyes, Jean felt that something was wrong with him. She quickly asked, "Dad, is something wrong?"

"Jean, what do you think about what happened today?" Barton asked. "Do you really think that Peter planned all by himself?"

"Dad, what are you implying?" Jean looked at Barton. "Do you think that I colluded with him?"

"That's not what I meant. I just want to ask you i

I know you're not capable of lying. Didn't I promise you last night? If Jean was the one behind it, I will give you justice."

"You're just saying that to coax me," Zoe sneered. "Do you think I don't know you?

You will always protect Jean no matter what happens. But what about me? Who am I to you? You won't doubt her, will you?"

"Zoe!" Barton exclaimed. "I'm going to get mad if you say that again.

You are my girlfriend and she is my daughter. The two of you are equally important to me. I won't be partial to anyone. Of course, I won't turn a blind eye to your grievance. But please give me some time! I'm going to find out the truth, okay?"

The waiter brought the steamed buns to them. Barton one of them to Zoe's mouth and said, "Please eat some."

Looking at Barton's face, Zoe was finally swayed to believe him.
