Despite Olivia telling her to rest well, Jenny couldn't sleep all night. She was very worried and afraid that something unexpected might happen. As Olivia had said, that was her last chance in the near future. If Jenny missed the opportunity, she didn't know how long she would have to stay in that place.The next morning, when Evan's footsteps faded into the distance, Jenny immediately sat up from bed. He was going out, just as Olivia had told her.As the private jet took off, Jenny's nervous mood finally relaxed a little. She was at least one step closer to success. Soon, there was a knock on the door. Upon opening it, there stood Olivia."Don't waste time. Let's go!" Olivia whispered. She didn't have time to waste with her. Although she was happy to see Jenny leave, betraying Evan also agonized her. Jenny followed Olivia. She then hid in what Olivia called a large box. At least at that moment, she was handing her life to Olivia. It wasn't that she trusted her to that extent, but
When Jenny decided to fight back, she didn't know what the outcome would be. She was left with no choice. After all, it was unlike her to silently wait for death to befall her. However, before she could even touch the person in front of her, the man suddenly fell with a gunshot to the head. His two subordinates soon dropped to the ground in the same way too.To her surprise, Jenny turned around and saw Alec walking toward her. She had to admit that Alec looked like a god who had descended from heaven at that moment. His handsomeness was further amplified by his heroic deed of coming to her rescue in the nick of time."Are you okay?" He walked up to her with eyes full of concern.Jenny shook her head and smiled at him. "You came just in time. If you were any later, who knows what would've happened."She'd been prepared to fight three men on her own. The chances of her surviving were indeed very slim.Hearing her words, Alec felt guilty. "I'm sorry. I just came from the airport beca
Olivia had her worries too. Although she'd sent Jenny away and arranged for her to be disposed of, she still hadn't received any news from the three people she sent over, so she didn't know if Jenny was dead or alive. The knocking from upstairs continued, annoying Olivia as she lay in bed tossing and turning.Evan had been waiting for five minutes, but there was no sound coming from the room at all, which alarmed him. Jenny wasn't a heavy sleeper; even if she'd been asleep at this hour, she should have been awakened by his knocking.There were no servants in the castle, so even if he wanted to find someone to ask, he wouldn't be able to find anyone. He raised his hand and knocked on the door again, but no one answered.Evan began to sense that something wasn't right, and his tone became serious. "Jenny, are you there? Say something if you are; otherwise, I'll have to come in."No one answered. The castle was completely silent.Evan called Howard, who quickly came over. Howard was
Evan had expected Olivia not to be on good terms with Jenny. He asked Olivia to stay not because he wanted her to have a good relationship with Jenny but simply hoped she would take care of her. Looking at her with scrutiny, Evan looked as if he was doubting the truth in her words. Olivia could tell he was suspecting her and asked incredulously, "Evan, you don't think I drove her away, do you? Do you think I would help her?" That was true. Everyone assumed it was highly unlikely for Olivia to help Jenny. No one would have expected that it was indeed her who sent Jenny away. However, she didn't do it for Jenny's sake but to help herself. "Search the entire island and leave no stones unturned!" Evan ordered. In fact, he knew the likelihood of Jenny still being on the island was slim, but he didn't give up. He had to at least make an effort to find her and see her with his own eyes to feel at ease. That night, the island was in chaos. No matter how Howard and his men searched th
Olivia couldn't believe that Evan was actually going to kick her off the island. Staying on the island meant she was one of Evan's close confidants. Once she was kicked out, even if she went to work in the company, it would be completely different from before."Evan! You can't do this! I've been with you for so many years. How can you kick me out?" She couldn't accept such an outcome. She found it utterly incredulous.She'd also put in so much of her effort in this place. Even in the beginning, it was she and Evan who bought this island as their base of operations. But now, she was going to be kicked out?Unfortunately, faced with her pleading, Evan's stony heart wasn't the slightest bit moved. "Get out! Otherwise, don't blame me for not upholding the last bit of courtesy toward you!""Evan!" Olivia gritted her teeth at him. At this moment, her hatred and resentment were magnified several times over.Seeing that Olivia was about to rush over to Evan, Howard held her back and forci
After a brief silence, Evan asked, "Was it Alec who took you away?""Yeah." Jenny didn't hide anything. By then, they'd already crossed the borders of Monaerim. Even if Evan came after them, he wouldn't be able to catch up."He's the ultimate winner, it seems," Evan lamented with a bitter smile. No matter how hard he tried, in Jenny's heart, Alec was more important than him at the end of the day.Jenny was somewhat dissatisfied with this and corrected Evan's words. "Neither of you won. I'm a person, not your trophy.""I didn't mean that...""Evan, this is the last time I'll call you and the last time I'll contact you. I hope you won't contact me in the future either. This is good enough," Jenny declared. She sounded quite heartless when she said all that, but it had to be this way. She didn't want Evan to continue to focus his energy on her, as it would only cause endless trouble.Evan felt a piercing pain in his heart, feeling as if he'd been stabbed with a knife. "I understand
As it was very early in the morning, there weren't many tourists at the Faire Tower. Only two or three people were around, and it was quite serene. Alec looked up at the iron tower in front of him and asked, "Can we go up?""We can. Do you want to go up?" Jenny thought Alec was just there to take a look, but she didn't expect him to have the intention of ascending the tower. Could he have really come here to travel as a tourist?Alec nodded and looked at Jenny hopefully. "Since we're here, let's go up and take a look.""Since we're here," was what all tourists would say.Jenny had actually been there before. She'd come excitedly in her first year of studying abroad since it was a famous landmark many said one should visit at least once in a lifetime."Okay." She nodded and led Alec up the iron tower.There was an elevator, and it was fast. In no time, they were standing on top of the tower. They could easily see the whole city in its splendor from their position."This city is s
"Hey, my darling, Jenny.""Hey, my darling, Alec."It was still daytime in Lourdon, but it was already night in Bardoff City. Hundreds of people were simply scrolling mindlessly online, and when they saw the news, they instantly perked up and grabbed their popcorn."Has Mr. Faust finally found his princess?""Oh, how sweet of them!""They're such a perfect couple."They didn't really have a lot of fans. They weren't celebrities, after all. The only people who followed them were people who truly cared about them.Hence, the internet showered them with blessings.When Stephanie called, Jenny and Alec were having lunch. When she picked up, she heard Stephanie's excited voice through the receiver. "Jenny! Have you really gotten together with Alec?""Yeah." She had no clue why Stephanie was so surprised. It was to be expected, wasn't it?After Stephanie's call, several others called. Once they confirmed that her account had not been hacked, they sent her their blessings.Alec got
