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
Jenny glanced at him. "You seem to be doing well these days.""Of course I am."The moment the words left his mouth, Zack glanced at the ward behind him. Thankfully, Gilbert hadn't heard him. "But I'd never compare to you, Jenny. How was the honeymoon with Alec?""What honeymoon? Don't you be cheeky," Jenny huffed. They weren't even married.Zack covered his smile. "It's just a different way of saying it.""Oh, I can't be bothered with you. Go find Janet or something." Jenny stood up to leave. However, she didn't leave the hospital. She went to Gavin Porter's, the director, office instead to tell him that she was back and ready to work."It's alright. You haven't used up all your annual leaves yet. You can have a few more days off." Gavin did not agree to her request to start working.Jenny frowned. He continued, "The schedule for the next few days has been made. Just wait a few more days. The other departments have people who want to go on holiday, too.""Alright." Jenny didn'
Marigold was still grateful. "Alec is your boyfriend now. He might have listened to you if you told him not to save my brother."Paul would not have come out of the police station so easily if it weren't for Alec's help."That's between him and Alec. It has nothing to do with me." Jenny didn't think that Marigold needed to thank her. She had done nothing, after all. As they spoke, Alec's car stopped by the entrance."Let's go." Alec rolled down his window and got Jenny in the car. He saw Marigold standing next to her and said, "You can sit in the back. Paul is in the car, too."They'd just come out of the police station. Alec had come for Jenny before dropping him home.Marigold was surprised. The windows of the backseat rolled down as well. Paul looked displeased. "Why are you here?""Are you okay, Paul?" Marigold hurried over and got into the car.Jenny sat in the passenger seat, and the car moved quickly.Paul looked disheveled. "Why wouldn't I be okay? What could Gilbert
