"Alec, I know maybe you didn't mean to, but it doesn't change what happened. You haven't even asked about Evan's condition once. Aren't you too heartless?" Jenny asked, casting him a look heavy with disappointment. Alec hesitated. Jenny's disappointed gaze delivered a blow to his heart. "Jenny, since I know his injury is fake, why would I bother asking about his condition? Nothing will happen to him."Jenny walked away and entered Evan's house. She didn't want to talk to Alec anymore; she just wanted to calm down."Jenny, I'm telling the truth. Evan's leg injury is fake. He can even stand up like normal," Alec said, trailing behind her. He had to convince Jenny to bring Evan to another hospital for an examination."Enough!" Jenny shouted. "I've seen the surveillance footage. You dragged Evan out of the room. Even if his injury is fake, must you pick on and bully him?"Jenny considered it bullying. Having watched the surveillance footage in which Evan had been completely defense
Unexpectedly, despite Alec's thorough investigation of the doctor's background, he found nothing. Did the doctor help Evan for free? No way. Alec frowned as his temples throbbed. "Continue to investigate. Since his finances are fine, then investigate the people around him. I don't believe he didn't take a penny from Evan.""Okay," Vincent responded. He could tell that Alec was irritated.He placed the lunch on Alec's desk, cautiously saying, "Have a meal first, sir. You will have stomach pains if you don't eat on time."Alec waved his hand, disinterested."Mr. Faust, even if you don't care about yourself, you should think about Miss Walter. You promised her to take good care of yourself," Vincent said, having no choice but to mention Jenny.Indeed, when Alec heard Jenny's name, he perked up slightly. However, as soon as he remembered what had happened yesterday, his mood turned sour again. "She doesn't have time to care about me. I'm afraid she is busy taking care of Evan," he g
"I've been investigating Dr. Gaarder's whereabouts these past few days, and I've found out where he is now," Howard suddenly said. The news caused Jenny's eyes to light up. "Have you really found him?" She couldn't believe it and looked at Howard in disbelief."Yes, he's abroad and has no plan on coming here again," Howard said. After all, he had just left the country, so it was understandable that he didn't want to return. Jenny thought the same way and said, "Have you contacted him? Is he willing to treat Evan?"Dr. Gaarder was internationally renowned and had previously been rejected by Evan, so it was likely that he would reject them this time."Dr. Gaarder is willing to do it, but on the condition that we go to his hospital abroad for treatment," Howard said.Jenny thought it made sense and said, "Then let's go. We can't miss an opportunity like this.""Jenny, will you come with me?" Evan asked nervously.After a brief moment, Jenny answered, "Of course, I promised to ta
Jenny didn't return to Evan's house when she left the hospital. Instead, she went to Walker Inc to look for Stephanie.Now, Stephanie was the general manager of Walker Inc, and although the Walkers were not yet well-known in Bardoff City, they were moving up in ranks each day.Looking at Stephanie, all dressed up and proper in her blazer, she exuded the air of a successful woman. "Stephanie, you are really amazing." Never had Jenny expected that there would be a day that Stephanie would become like this.Fate was unpredictable in many ways. For instance, Jenny became a daughter of the Walter family, and after finally handing the reins of the company to a reliable management team, she thought she could be free from then on. However, at that moment, she felt that she had lost her freedom completely. She couldn't just ignore everything. Evan was her savior, so she couldn't just sit back and do nothing."Jenny, you don't seem to be in a good mood." Stephanie poured her a cup of c
Alec and Paul didn't drink for long and soon left the bar. Alec went back early and waited for news. He had already sent out the message, and Evan would definitely take action. With such a huge bargaining chip in Alec's hands, Evan wouldn't sit still.…Night fell, and Trey Ulmer crouched in a corner. It was pitch black all around, and he was filled with despair. It had been a long time since he was caught, and he could no longer distinguish between day and night.Even so, he still clenched his teeth and refused to expose Evan—he believed in his boss. He was confident that he would come to save him. It was this trust that kept him going until now. Otherwise, when he was being tortured by Blake before, he would have collapsed long ago.Footsteps echoed in the darkness, and Trey immediately became alert. "Alec! What are you doing here? I told you, I won't say anything." Even though he had not seen the person yet, Trey guessed it was Alec. After all, this was the man's territory, and
However, Howard was not taken out so easily. With his quick reflexes, he picked up his gun and ran away. Although he also shot at Trey a few times before leaving, he couldn't be sure if he hit him or not.All he knew was that he had to leave. If he fell into Alec's hands, everything would be over, so he fled.Alec didn't go after him, as Howard was not his target, to begin with. With a click, the dungeon lights were turned on, and Alec saw Trey hiding in the corner. He had been shot in the thigh, but it wasn't a big deal.He walked over to him. "So, do you still believe that your boss will come to save you?"Trey remained silent. He was still processing a mental breakdown and had no mood for conversation. Nonetheless, Alec didn't have any time to waste. "Even now, you still won't confess?""I told you not to waste your time. I won't say anything." Although Trey had lost all hope for Evan, he still had his principles.Alec frowned—-he didn't expect him to be so stubborn. It was
At Alec's villa, he stood on the balcony and lit a cigarette. He wasn't a frequent smoker, but he was too distressed at the moment, and smoking seemed to be the only thing that could make him feel a little better.Looking at Jenny, who had already fallen asleep on the big bed in the bedroom, he sighed and extinguished the cigarette in his hand. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he couldn't help but reach out and stroke her cheek as she slept. "Jenny, are you really going to agree to go abroad with Evan?"If she made that decision, it would be clear that she was giving up on their relationship. Receiving no response, Alec withdrew his hand. Fortunately, he had collected evidence, and once Jenny knew the truth, she wouldn't be deceived by Evan.That night, Jenny slept well, perhaps because she was drunk. Alec, on the other hand, hardly slept a wink. He was afraid, terrified of what was about to happen.…Meanwhile, Evan didn't sleep well that night in the hospital either. Jenny didn't
After putting on a casual outfit, Jenny went downstairs to the dining area where Alec was sitting."Come and eat," Alec said when he saw her, quickly putting down the financial newspaper in his hand and focusing all his attention on Jenny.Jenny nodded and asked, "Did you choose all the clothes in the closet?""No, I talked to the brand in advance. I had them send over an item of the same style for every clothing item you bought from them," Alec said. He didn't know Jenny's preferences, but the brands did, so he thought that was the best approach.Jenny nodded. No wonder she found all the clothes in the closet so familiar. They were all the same style as the ones she had bought before."Thank you," Jenny said. Apart from that, she didn't know what to say to Alec.Alec just smiled and got up to serve Jenny a bowl of chicken soup. "I'm glad you like it."As they ate breakfast, Alec thought about taking Jenny to see Trey after they finished. At that moment, Jenny was hesitating abo
