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
Evan was one of the first to receive the news of Jenny and Alec getting together.He couldn't quite describe what he was feeling. Naturally, he felt disappointed. However, he also found himself feeling relieved. He no longer fooled himself with the promise of hope. He had totally given up.He put his phone away and looked at Howard. "Let's go to the company.""Do you want to take two days off, sir?" After Jenny left, Evan had not rested. No one could endure so much work without rest."I'm fine. If you're tired, you can get someone else to follow me around." Evan didn't feel tired. Working was the only way he could relieve the pain in his heart.Howard would never say that he was tired. He was just worried for Evan. But since Evan had made up his mind, he said nothing else and got the plane ready.…Three days later, after Gilbert hung up on a call with Jenny, he stood by the window, deep in thought.He didn't like Alec before. In fact, he tried his hardest to stop them from get
However, Gilbert was not there to solve problems—he didn't think that there was one in the first place. If there was, it was all Marigold's fault. It had nothing to do with him.He looked at Paul and repeated, "You know very well what Marigold and I are like. Would you marry a woman like that?""What do you mean, a woman like that? Would this have happened if you hadn't touched her?" Paul was furious. Gilbert had spoken as if Marigold were a whore.Gilbert couldn't be bothered to argue. He stood his ground. "Tell her that if the child is mine, she should abort it quickly. I won't accept the kid. And if it's not mine," he scoffed, "don't appear before me again."After that, he made to leave. He had nothing more to say to PaulIt was no wonder that Marigold would have such twisted delusions. In his eyes, the Wagners were all the same. The apple didn't fall far from the tree.But before Gilbert could reach the door, Paul jumped up and landed a blow on him that made him stagger to th
After Jenny and Alec got off the plane, they left in two separate cabs. One went to the hospital, and the other to the police station.Before Jenny entered the hospital ward, she heard shouts coming from inside. "What fucking right did Paul have to start hitting you? I'm going to sue him for beating you up this badly!"It was Zack's voice. It was obvious that he was furious."We can't hold back anymore. We have to send him to prison," Zack said once more. Although he and Gilbert fought before because of Janet, they would still face things like this together.Gilbert thought he was being noisy. "It's easier said than done. Wagner Group is not an easy target."After Paul took over Alec's business in Parrington, his business surpassed Gilbert's. If Gilbert were to sue him, he might not be victorious."What's there to be scared of? We have Jenny on our side. She's the head of the Walters!" Zack didn't think it was a problem at all.As he spoke, Jenny pushed the door open. "It's live
