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
"What do you mean? Are we truly powerless?" Zack couldn't believe it. He hadn't seen Evan for years, but he'd managed to climb up to such a high position abroad. It was simply too incredible.Why didn't he notice Evan's talent for being a boss of the underworld before? Zack's impression of him was still stuck at the time when Evan followed them around like a lost puppy.The atmosphere fell silent, and Gilbert looked at Alec. Even if he didn't want to, he had to speak up. "Alec, you're the only one who can save Jenny now. I beg you…Please bring her back."Alec had been waiting for Gilbert to say that. He replied with a smile, "Even if you didn't say anything, I would still bring her back.""Thank you—""However, I hope that after Jenny comes back, you will respect her choices." Especially when it came to their relationship—he didn't want Gilbert to voice any objections.After all, in Jenny's eyes, Gilbert was still very important. She would be stuck between a rock and a hard place
"Are you Jenny?" the woman asked with a predatory gaze.Jenny looked at her helplessly, feeling the pain coming from her wrist vividly. She couldn't muster up the strength to talk to her assailant at all.The woman wasn't angry and continued to exert force. She finally removed her foot when she saw Jenny's increasingly strained expression.She squatted down, lifted Jenny's chin, and mocked, "That's more like it. Here I was, wondering how pretty the woman Evan loved could be."It wasn't hard to tell that the woman felt she was much better looking than Jenny."But maybe you just happen to be Evan's cup of tea." The woman then took out a small dagger from her bag and waved it close to Jenny's face menacingly. "If I make a few cuts on your face, Evan probably won't like you anymore."No one liked ugly things. The woman thought that Evan was no exception. She came to the conclusion that Evan would no longer like Jenny if she became ugly. Therefore, she was ready to take action as she
Evan glanced at him and then said, "All of you leave. I want to chat with Jenny alone for a while.""Evan..." Olivia didn't want to leave. She didn't want the two of them to be alone together.Just as she was about to speak up again, Evan glared at her. His expression was indifferent as he ordered, "Get out!"Olivia bit her lip, and Howard quickly stepped forward and urged her, "Let's go. Tell me all about the recent situation at home." Soon, Howard pulled Olivia away, and Jenny remained rooted in the same spot. Evan beckoned at her once more. "Come and sit beside me, Jenny."After a brief silence, Jenny walked over. "How's your injury?"Despite changing into new clothes and dressing up carefully, her voice was still hoarse. It was obvious, and nothing could be done to cover it up."Your voice…Did Howard do that to you?" Evan frowned."I'm fine. I was just locked up and not given any food." Jenny smiled as if she really didn't care.But Evan's heart clenched with pain when he
Evan was shocked and then incensed. "How dare she!""Evan, if you want me to stay, you need to guarantee my safety," Jenny said. If those people from Evan's group wanted to harm her, it would be too easy for them. This place wasn't her home country, and these people all had guns. Even if she was skilled, she couldn't dodge bullets.Evan didn't even consider why she was willing to stay and just smiled while promising, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to do anything to you."Jenny then walked out of the room, and Howard was called in. Jenny didn't know what Evan had said to Howard, but the way Howard looked at her changed when he came out."Let's go. I'll take you to your room," Howard said, looking at her warily.He led Jenny to a room in the castle that had a particularly good view of the sea. If she opened the window, she could see the ocean outside. Jenny was very satisfied with the room. At least it was much better than the dungeon she was in before.Howard
In the CEO's office of Faust Group in Bardoff City, Alec frowned as he looked at the clues that Vincent had found. "The plane eventually landed on an island in Monaerim? Where is this place?""It used to be unclaimed territory. The Monaerim government put it up for auction, and someone bought it. We couldn't find out the specific situation," Vincent answered.After a moment of silence, Alec speculated, "It seems that the entire island is under Evan's control, so it's almost impossible for us to launch a rescue attempt there."The person who bought the island was most likely Evan. He set up this place as his stronghold, which was actually quite clever."What should we do then? Should we send some people to take a look first?" Vincent asked. As someone who had worked with Alec for many years, he knew how important Jenny was to him. Therefore, even if the rescue mission would be as difficult as going to the moon, Alec would still do it regardless. It was impossible for him to give up
The city wasn't the most developed place in Monaerim, but it was not bad, just a bit chaotic.After pondering it for a while, Jenny realized that a chaotic place was more suited for someone of Evan's status. What she needed to think about now was how to pass on the information that she was here. Unbeknownst to Jenny, her worries were actually unnecessary because when Evan's private jet landed at Duxdence Airport, Alec had already received the news. At that moment, opposite the airport, Alec was looking through a telescope at the airport entrance. He saw Evan and his group walk out from the inside. Perhaps because this was his own turf, Evan wasn't cautious and didn't bother to take any precautionary measures to conceal themselves. Because of that, Alec could clearly see their movements. When he saw Jenny, he noticed that she'd lost weight. He deduced that she must not be living well under Evan's care, which made his heart ache. Evan and his group came out of the airport and got in
Just as she was feeling anxious, the salesgirl suddenly grabbed Jenny's hand and wrote a few words in her palm under her shocked gaze. When Jenny came out of the fitting room, she had returned to normal. However, those few words still flashed in her mind: "I'm here." "Alec is here!" Jenny cheered internally.For a moment, she was so surprised she wasn't sure how to express her excited emotions. Unfortunately, she couldn't exactly express herself at the moment. Not only that, she couldn't show even a hint of abnormality. "It's stunning." Evan's words rang in her ear, snapping her out of her daze.She then smiled at him and said, "Thank you." In the end, Evan bought that dress, along with the others he'd chosen for Jenny, and sent them all to the island. The amount of clothing was enough for her to wear for many years. It seemed Evan had never thought carefully about how long Jenny would stay on the island. To be more exact, he dared not think about it. As they were done with
