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
Without any hesitation, Alec continued, "Besides, if the money was obtained through legal means, why would he bother transferring it through the black market? You should know there are hefty transaction fees for transferring money through it."Jenny understood the implication behind his words. As she looked through the information, she fell into a low mood."Do you have any evidence to prove that the money came from Evan?" Jenny asked.Although the source of the money was suspicious, it would be meaningless if Alec couldn't provide evidence that the money came from Evan.Alec's face darkened. Obviously, he didn't have any evidence.Jenny put down the information and turned to him. "Alec, I know what you're thinking. You've always been suspicious of Evan, but I still believe he isn't that kind of person."If he had done something so deceitful, he wouldn't be the Evan she knew.Alec didn't elaborate more. Instead, he said, "Let's eat first. After that, I'll take you to meet someon
Letting out a sigh of relief, Jenny said, "Oh, I had dinner with Stephanie yesterday, so it was too late to go to the hospital.""What about now? Are you working at the hospital?" Evan asked."No, I have something to do today, so I may come later," Jenny replied. Evan was staying at Bardoff Hospital, so she couldn't lie to him about being in the hospital.She didn't say what exactly she had to do, which made Evan somewhat uneasy. "Don't worry. If you're busy, I have Howard to take care of me. There's nothing urgent.""Okay." After the call ended, Evan looked gloomy as he stared at Howard. "Trey isn't dead?""I'm not sure. I fired a few shots in his direction when I escaped, but I don't know if I hit him," Howard said. His head was lowered as he was too afraid to look Evan in the eye. He had been too careless last night and hadn't expected someone to be ambushed.Evan stared at him coldly. "Useless!""I'm sorry, Boss." Howard knew he had not done well enough and didn't dare t
Alec smiled bitterly, feeling uneasy. "Jenny, do you think I would do something like this? You could have easily investigated and found out about everything. Would I do something like this?"If Trey were indeed working for him, with Jenny's current abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to uncover his true identity."Miss Walter, I have a few photos here that should convince you of my identity." Trey handed his phone over, his main objective now being to prove his identity.Jenny took the phone and looked through the photos one by one. They were all pictures of Trey and some other people, presumably his comrades, as he'd mentioned before. Shortly after, Jenny saw a familiar person in the photo—Howard.Trey and Howard seemed to have a good relationship, as there were several photos of them together. In the last picture, Jenny saw Evan. Of course, it was just a back view, but she could recognize it was him."Evan doesn't like taking pictures and doesn't like others leaking his identity
