The result was obvious. Jenny didn't see any guilt on Evan's face. Instead, she saw happiness. "Jenny, thank you," he said.Jenny looked at him, feeling somewhat unfamiliar. "Evan, you don't need to thank me. You got injured because of me. Even if that wasn't the case, I wouldn't just sit back and do nothing. You've been so good to me and never lied to me. How could I not agree to this, right, Evan?"Jenny was testing him. Evan's expression faltered visibly, as if he had sensed something amiss but wasn't sure of it. "Of course, how could I lie to you?" he replied."Really? You didn't lie to me at all?" Jenny scoffed internally and couldn't help but smile bitterly. At that moment, she would rather follow Evan abroad willingly than believe he'd been deceiving her all along.Howard came back with breakfast shortly after. He didn't know what the two had talked about, but Evan instructed him, "Go get prepared.""Prepare for what?" He was a little confused."For going abroad," Jenny an
"I'm not sure, but I just think it's strange that she suddenly grabbed you. I'm worried that she's deliberately testing you." Evan rubbed his temples, feeling extremely anxious about it.Howard scratched his head, still not quite getting it. "Testing me? Testing me for what?""Testing whether you're really injured!" Evan gave him a look, seriously doubting his intelligence.Howard seemed to have come to a realization, but he still had doubts about what Evan said. "Why would she do that, though?""If she really is testing you, it means that Alec must have told her something. Maybe Jenny has found out about everything..." That was the worst possible situation for Evan. If Jenny had really found out about everything, then her promise to go abroad with him earlier was hard to understand.Howard returned to his senses from his shock, still unable to believe it. "How is that possible? If she knows everything, why didn't she expose us? Why would she still agree to go abroad with us?""I
When Gilbert and Zack learned that Jenny was going abroad with Evan, they put aside their previous disagreements and went to see Jenny together in a united stand."Jenny, have you gone crazy? How could you agree to go abroad with Evan?" Zack was struggling to control himself. He had half a mind to go and fight Evan over it.Jenny had never been away from them for too long since she was young. According to Evan, they didn't know when they would come back. How could they bear to let her go with him?Gilbert added, "Jenny, I know you're grateful to him for saving you. But sacrificing yourself just because of gratitude isn't a wise move. Are you going to ruin yourself because of him?"Jenny looked at her two brothers and was moved. However, she didn't tell them the truth. They might get too impulsive and alert Evan if she revealed everything to them at that point. She'd already discovered Evan's true identity, and because she knew how dangerous he really was, she wouldn't voluntarily p
Three days later, Jenny and Evan stood at the entrance of Bardoff Airport. After listening in to Evan's conversations with others for the past few days, Jenny had already learned everything about the situation, but even so, she didn't go back on her word and said she wouldn't go abroad. Instead, she pretended to know nothing and still came to the airport with Evan. However, it didn't mean that she would really board the plane.In the waiting lounge, half an hour before boarding, Evan wished fervently for time to pass quickly. Jenny remained indifferent, and Evan couldn't tell any emotions from her face, making him uneasy."Jenny, don't worry. Once we find Dr. Gaarder, I'll cooperate with the treatment and try to recover as soon as possible, then we can return to the country," Evan said.Jenny smiled lightly at his words. "Evan, you still won't tell me the truth even now?"She always thought that Evan might not be so bad, and maybe he would come clean with her. But now, in half an h
"I also planted a bug under your hospital bed." Jenny didn't hide anything. She chose to be frank to let Evan know that she knew everything and that he shouldn't lie to her anymore.Evan was stunned. He wasn't expecting that. Then, he laughed helplessly. "As expected, once you have suspicions, you can quickly find evidence on your own."When she trusted him, she really trusted him with all her heart; once the seed of doubt was planted, she would do everything to investigate."If you already knew, why did you agree to go abroad with me? And why did you come to the airport with me today?" Evan didn't understand why Jenny did that. She should have just confronted him directly, then they might not have come to the airport today.Jenny smiled bitterly in response. "I just thought that maybe you would feel guilty and tell me everything before leaving."In the end, she thought too highly of him."I'm sorry for disappointing you," Evan said. In fact, he never intended to tell Jenny th
"Miss Walter, the boarding gate is over there!" Howard shouted when he saw Jenny walking in the wrong direction. Evan grabbed him and shook his head. "She won't come with us."Howard was stunned, trying to process what was going on. Just as he was in a state of confusion, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet hit Evan in his left chest!"Boss!""Evan!"Jenny heard the gunshot and turned to see Evan getting hit. She immediately rushed over to him. At that moment, more gunfire sounded, and quite a few people joined the gunfight."Damn it! They were waiting for this chance!" Howard cursed. After all this time, he thought the people who held a grudge against Evan had given up. It turned out they had been waiting to ambush him there.Jenny didn't know what was going on; she only knew that Evan needed to be taken to the hospital immediately."Howard, cover me. I'll take Evan and leave first." Jenny looked around at the chaos and thought it was unwise to stay there any longer.Howard nod
Alec didn't know whether Jenny would really come back. He only knew that when he saw Jenny being forcefully taken onto the plane by Howard, he was completely devastated. He regretted not following them from the beginning. If he had, Howard wouldn't have threatened Jenny, and she wouldn't have been taken away. "Why the fuck didn't I follow her here?!" Alec questioned himself in agony. He believed in Jenny and thought she could handle it. Besides, Jenny didn't let him come with her, saying it wasn't necessary. When Vincent and his men rushed to the airport, Alec was kneeling on the floor in despair. He was in such a miserable state that Vincent felt sorry for him. Gunshots could still be heard once in a while, but things seemed to have calmed down considerably. The people who had come for Evan must have left since their target had been Evan and not Alec. They didn't really want to step on Alec's toes within the country."Mr. Faust…" Vincent approached Alec, whose face was obscured a
When Gilbert and Zack finally found Alec, it had already been a few hours since Jenny had left with Evan. They learned about the airport shooting incident from the news and decided to contact Jenny. However, they were surprised to find out that she was already on a plane and couldn't be reached at the moment.They sought out Alec to ask him what had happened and who the target was. Alec was quite annoyed with their questions, but he answered truthfully based on facts, "It was most likely Evan's enemies.""Is Jenny okay? Was she hurt?" Alec had seen Jenny leave, so they could only ask him for more information.Alec shook his head and guessed they probably didn't know about Evan's plot. He said, "Although she wasn't injured, Howard pointed a gun at her and forced her to board the plane.""What?" Both of them were shocked. They didn't quite understand what was going on. Wasn't Howard one of Evan's men?"Evan wasn't really injured at all. It was all his plan. Did Jenny not tell you gu
