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
"Next time," Evan replied hastily. He intentionally didn't bring Olivia along. Evan knew exactly what Olivia was thinking, but unfortunately, he had no other intentions toward her. If it hadn't been for the fact that Olivia had been working for him for many years, perhaps Evan would have already lost his patience with her.Olivia pouted and then saw the bodyguards behind her carrying a lot of things. Her eyes lit up. "Did you buy these for me? Evan, you're so nice!"However, before she could approach the items, Evan ordered, "Put them in Jenny's room."Immediately, the bodyguards went upstairs with more than ten bags each, but not one was for Olivia. Following that, Olivia's expression darkened considerably. Howard quickly handed her the bag he was holding. "Boss didn't forget about you. This is what he bought for you."In fact, it was Howard who reminded Evan about Olivia before leaving. Only then did Evan reluctantly agree to let him buy something for Olivia. Otherwise, he woul
Jenny was upstairs in her room, completely unaware of what Olivia was planning—not that she cared anyway. She knew that she would be safe in this place as long as she had Evan's protection. Even so, she didn't plan to stay here for long and wanted to leave. She just didn't know how to leave. Perhaps she could only wait for Alec to come and rescue her.Next door, in Evan's study, Howard had just calmed Olivia down and was called into the study by Evan. "Boss." Howard pushed the door open and saw Evan sitting at his desk, seemingly worried about something. Evan heard the sound and looked up at him. "Did you notice anything unusual on your way back today?" "No," Howard replied. Despite his assurance, Evan felt that something wasn't quite right. It had been half a month since they'd come back to Monaerim. Even if Alec and the others didn't have much influence abroad, they shouldn't have failed to locate him by now. "Send someone to check if Alec is still in the country," Evan or
Olivia cleared her throat and said seriously, "So, I'm giving you money now and asking you to leave for your own good. Although Evan's behavior isn't right, I'm compensating you with some money so you're not losing out."Jenny pretended to be wronged and asked softly, "How much money can you give me? I don't want too little. Although Evan doesn't like me, he never hesitated to spend money on me."That made Olivia so angry that she clenched her teeth. "One million!" Olivia spat.Jenny then looked at her haughtily and said, "Evan spent more than that when he took me shopping the other day.""How much do you want then?" Olivia asked. She wasn't short of money. In fact, she'd made a lot of money while working for Evan all these years."Add another zero to the price," Jenny said casually, sounding so unbothered and carefree, as if ten million was nothing to her.Olivia was provoked and pointed at her while asking, "Ten million? Who do you think you are?""If you can't afford it, then
