Chapter 12 I’ll Remember You

What was Alec doing here?

Their conversation came to a screeching halt. Alec scrutinized Jenny and Stephanie with a harsh gaze, determined to find out what they were talking about. Just then, the elevator arrived, breaking the silence with its chime.

Jenny, who was rather quick-witted, hurriedly pulled Stephanie into the elevator. She wanted to escape from him, but Alec strode into the elevator after them.

"So, tell me, how has she been generous to me? What should she have asked from me?" he asked, his gaze fixed on Stephanie. Despite his light tone, his voice commanded fear.

Guilty, Stephanie gulped. However, thinking about it, she decided that she had said nothing wrong as Alec had treated Jenny wrongly in their marriage.

Just as she was about to speak, Jenny stepped forward and said, "Well, Mr. Faust, after Stephanie found out that I had performed surgery on Miss Lawrence, she felt that I should have asked you for more compensation, which is why she said what she said."

"Are you saying I gave you too little?" he asked, turning to look at her. His voice carried a threatening tone.

"Of course, you gave me a lot." Jenny shook her head, forced a smile, and added, "It's my fault for not making it clear to her, which is why she doesn't know exactly how much you gave me."

"Is that so?" Alec stared at Stephanie, finding it hard to believe.

Stephanie caught Jenny's signal. Although she didn't understand what was happening, she nodded in agreement, "Yes."

"You want to beat me up just because of that?" Alec frowned deeply.

Feeling guilty, Stephanie averted her eyes.

"She was just fooling around, so don't take it to heart," Jenny explained, silently cursing her bad luck for causing Alec to bump into her when they were gossiping about him.

Ignoring her, he stared at Stephanie for a long time before asking, "Are you Charles Walker's daughter?"

Stephanie nodded, surprised that Alec recognized her.

"Very well, I'll remember you," he said. Right then, the elevator arrived on the first floor, and he exited the elevator.

Stephanie felt her knees turn to jelly. If Jenny hadn't caught her in time, she might have fallen to the ground.

"I'm done for. He wouldn't seek revenge on my dad's company just because of this, right?"

Looking at Alec's retreating figure, Jenny shook her head.

"I don't think so. He isn't that childish."

Sharing the same thought, Stephanie regained her spirits and then asked, "What happened between the both of you? Does he not know who you are?"

During their short interaction in the elevator, Alec seemed unable to decipher what was going on from their conversation. Therefore, that was the most plausible explanation to Stephanie.

"Yeah, he doesn't. I haven't met him since we married, " Jenny replied. "The day after our divorce, he came looking for me, asking me to operate on his lover. Let me tell you, I was completely dumbfounded when that happened."

"His lover?" Stephanie was immediately invested in the story. "Tell me all the details."

Immediately, Jenny told her everything about Faye's operation, sighing, "I really hope I won't meet him again."

"I don't think that'll happen," Stephanie said with a little too much glee. "Think about it. Why would he appear here of all places?"

Jenny fell silent. How did she end up in the same community, in the same apartment, and on the same floor as him? Parrington was a vast city, after all.

Could her luck be any worse?

Stephanie patted her shoulder, smirking, "It must be fate! Maybe it's a sign that you two will get married again or something. I'm really curious how he would react when he finds out you're his ex-wife. Oh dear, I'm so tempted to tell him the truth."

"Don't you dare!" Jenny rolled her eyes at her in exasperation.

The next day, Jenny went to work as usual. She was scheduled to conduct an operation as soon as the day started, so she was swamped all day. By the time she had completed all the scheduled surgeries, she discovered a dozen missed calls from Stephanie. Feeling somewhat uneasy, she hurriedly gave Stephanie a call.

"Oh my god, just how busy are you?" implored Stephanie as soon as the call connected.

"What happened?" Jenny asked.

"That bastard Alec!" Stephanie yelled, taking a deep breath before continuing. "He called off his business deal with my father's company."

That caught Jenny by surprise.

"No way…"

"I was just on the phone with my dad, and he's worried that he has offended Alec. Little does he know, I'm the one who offended him!"

Stephanie didn't dare to tell her father the truth for fear of being beaten to death.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Jenny said, "Don't worry, I'll head over to your place, and we'll figure out a solution."

"Don't come over. Let's meet at the entrance of the Faust Group," she said.

"The Faust Group?"

"Duh! I need to apologize to him," she replied, nearly wailing. "The Faust Group is my father's largest customer. If we lose them, my dad's company might go bankrupt."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

While Jenny didn't want to meet Alec, she knew this had started because of her, so she had to do something.

As soon as the call ended, Jenny changed, hailed a taxi, and rushed to the Faust Group to meet Stephanie at the door.

The two entered the building together but were quickly stopped by the receptionist.

"Do you have an appointment?" asked the receptionist.

"No," Stephanie shook her head, "but I have urgent business with Mr. Faust. Please help me out.”

"Sorry, we can't let you upstairs without an appointment," replied the receptionist with a cold smile.

Refusing to give up, they decided to wait for him on the first floor, certain that Alec would eventually come down.

In the president's office, Vincent answered a call and then looked at Alec, who was busy. After hesitating, he said, "The daughter of the Walker family and Dr. Walter are downstairs, Mr. Faust. They are here to—"

Alec grunted in acknowledgment but continued to page through his documents without looking up.

Vincent couldn't figure out what Alec meant by that, but he didn't dare to ask or say more. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Faust, do you really want to suspend our deal with the Walker family?"

    The Walker family had been working well with the Faust Group thus far, so Vincent had a hard time understanding why Alec suddenly wanted to put a halt to it."Yes," said Alec, nodding as he tossed a document at Vincent. "We will be working with the Lawrence family in the future." The Lawrence family? Surprised, Vincent picked up the file. When he read it, he immediately understood what was going on. It seemed that Faye's family had explicitly asked to take over this deal, so the Walker family was the victim of their request."About the people downstairs—""Send them away. I don't have time to see them.""Alright."It was getting dark, and the employees of the Faust Group had already left, yet Alec was still nowhere to be seen."Jenny, do you think Alec has decided to make my dad's company go bankrupt?" asked Stephanie anxiously."We will find a way through this." Jenny was worried too, but she knew she had to be calm. Just then, she suddenly spotted Vincent exiting the elevator from

    “He’s coming! He’s coming!” Jenny thought. Jenny had already heard the increasingly proximate sound of footsteps coming from the door. She became more and more anxious with every step. She just wanted to disappear. Trying to stay calm, she looked up again, ready to face Alec. However, only Warren was there in front of her.Where was Alec?Why didn’t he come? Was he standing behind?Jenny stretched her neck to check behind Warren, but nobody was there.“Where’s that fellow?” Old Mr. Faust’s face fell. When he noticed Warren was the only person who came, he already had a bad feeling.“Mr. Alec said there was an emergency. He will come and see you later,” Warren couldn’t do anything either. Alec said he wanted to leave. He couldn’t possibly stop him.“Bastard!”Old Mr. Faust threw a fit. He smashed the ground with his walking stick. “What’s so important that he couldn’t stay for a meal? He’s deliberately trying to piss me off!”“Mr. Faust…”“Grandpa, don’t be mad. You need to be mindful

    “When we become rich, do you still need to be afraid that he’ll look down on you?” Mr. Lawrence asked her in response. Voice full of blame, he continued, “Look at you. It’s been so long, and yet you still haven’t managed to win Alec over. It seems like you must not be his type.”“You!” Faye’s chest rose and fell out of rage. She wished she never had parents like them. She turned around and shut her room door with a bang, reluctant to say another word to them.…When Alec arrived at the Old Mansion, Jenny had already left. Looking at the empty living room, he couldn’t help but frown. “Where’s Grandpa?” he asked as he glanced at Warren.“Mr. Faust is in his study,” Warren replied.As soon as he said that, Alec was prepared to head to the study. Just as he lifted his feet, he suddenly recalled something and asked, “Did Grandpa have any guests over just now? I heard some voices at the door.”Plus, that voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. If it weren’t for Faye

    After all, Old Mr. Faust was part of the Faust family. He would be on Alec’s side without a doubt, not to mention that she and Alec were already divorced. Even if they hadn’t divorced, Old Mr. Faust might also not do his best to help her.Although Jenny understood this, she didn’t tell Stephanie immediately. Instead, she decided to let her have a good night’s sleep. Stephanie went back to her room to sleep, but Jenny struggled. She needed to be prepared for the worst.Jenny was up the whole night trying to come up with solutions, which caused her dark eye circles to become extremely obvious the following day. “What were you up to last night?” Stephanie exclaimed when she saw her. Jenny stared at herself in the mirror as she used concealer to conceal her dark circles.“Nothing. I just didn’t sleep well.”“Jenny,” Stephanie suddenly called, “I’m sorry for making you worry about my family’s business.”Upon hearing this, Jenny turned around to look at her and said thoughtfully, “If you’re

    Alec continued, “Such a shame. Her plan is going to fail miserably. What makes her think that I will listen to my grandfather?”Jenny came back to her senses. She was slightly taken aback. So, Alec thought Stephanie had gone to see Mr. Faust last night?She recalled how Warren always addressed her as “Miss Walter.”It appeared that Alec must have misunderstood. It was Walter, not Walker. Unfortunately, he didn’t know that. She found it kind of funny, but she couldn’t get herself to laugh after hearing what Alec had said. Alec meant he wouldn’t let the Walker family off the hook. “Is there no way to get around this? Mr. Faust, don’t you think that ending your collaboration with the Walker family just because of this is a little too capricious?” She really couldn’t understand how Alec could be so irrational.“I always get my way. Do you have a problem with that, Dr. Walter?” He sneered, ignoring what Jenny had just said. Seeing him like this, Jenny realized there was perhaps no room for

    At Parrington Hospital.Jenny had just got off work when she received a call from Gilbert. After finding out that he was waiting at the hospital's main entrance, she quickly changed and rushed over.“Gilbert.” When she saw the man leaning against his car not far away from her, she smiled and waved at him.Soon, she arrived in front of Gilbert, “Gilbert, why did you come here all of a sudden?”“You wanted my help, didn’t you? I came over once I received the news.” Gilbert flashed a smile at her with affection in his eyes. Jenny was shocked to hear this. “So soon?”“Yup.”After he finished speaking, Gilbert handed Jenny the document he had prepared earlier. “This company is interested in purchasing that batch of items from the Walker family. You should get them to contact the company.”“This…” Jenny held the document in disbelief.This fast?“Gilbert, you’re way too efficient,” Jenny couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.Gilbert patted her head and said, “You asked me for a favor.

    The three of them fixed their gazes on Alec. Jenny prayed that he would refuse since she really didn’t want to sit together and have a meal with this man.It would totally affect her mood.“You decide,” he said. That wasn’t the answer Jenny wanted to hear.Jenny was speechless. “Dr. Walter, Alec is fine with it. What about you?” She looked at Jenny smilingly.Jenny was super reluctant. She shifted her gaze to Gilbert. “What do you think?”She kept giving Gilbert hints with her eyes, but instead, he said, “I’m okay with anything.”“Okay with anything? Gilbert, what are you trying to do?” Jenny thought.Faye and Jenny sat next to each other, while Alec and Gilbert sat across them. Alec was sitting right opposite Jenny, so she could see his face every time she looked up. This made her feel extremely uncomfortable. “Dr. Walter, is this your boyfriend? He looks like a great guy. No wonder you didn’t want me to introduce anyone to you.” Staring at the posh-looking Gilbert opposite her, Fay

    In Gilbert’s car, Jenny received a call from Zack. “The Faust Group is now teaming up with the Lawrence family.”“The Lawrence family?” She was stunned. “Yup. The Lawrence family seem to be very close to Alec. Almost everyone in Parrington knows the family has Alec’s support, so they have been doing quite well these two years.” After saying that, he asked in a puzzled tone, “Why did you ask me to investigate this? Did that bastard Alec upset you again?”“No reason. I was just curious why he suddenly stopped working with the Walker family,” Jenny said. “That’s good. If he bothers you again, remember to tell me. I will beat him up.” He hadn’t let go of the fact that Jenny had wasted two years of her life with that man. Jenny smiled and burst into laughter upon hearing this.“Alright.”After hanging up the phone, Jenny looked out of the car window. She sometimes felt that she was fortunate. Although she didn’t have any parents, her grandfather brought her up and took great care of her

    That afternoon, Gilbert called off his engagement to the Silveras. He did not pick up a single one of Lottie's calls. When he found Marigold, she was taking Caleb on a stroll around the neighborhood. It had been a while since she'd taken notice of anything related to Gilbert. She suddenly felt how nice it was to have her mental energy spent somewhere else, no longer being so hung up on that man. However, when Gilbert appeared before her, her heartbeat quickened. "Why are you here?" Marigold said, snapping out of her reverie. Gilbert smiled lightly. Without saying much else, he pulled her into an embrace. "Didn't you say that I could come to see you once everything is settled?" Marigold was stunned. She was in disbelief. "So, what you're saying is it's all over?" "Didn't you read the news?" Gilbert was speechless. "No. I didn't want to care." Every time she saw anything about Gilbert and Lottie, she felt miserable. She'd rather save herself the pain and block out anything

    In the end, Esther went with Gilbert's suggestion. However, she did not trade Bradshaw Operation's projects with Jenny. She went with the Silveras. For one, she did not trust the Walters. On the other hand, the Silveras and the Bradshaws were going to be united through marriage. They deserved to be trusted more. Gilbert didn't mind. After all, if anything happened to the Bradshaws, the Silveras would not help. With those projects in hand, they would only fall further into debt. The plan was going smoothly. Gilbert had not gone to see Marigold once. He knew that before subduing the Bradshaws, going to visit Marigold would only endanger her. After all, Marigold was safe. Nothing had happened, and Caleb was growing up healthily. One month later, things began to feel off in Bradshaw Operations. After Faust Group received their money, they did not start the project. No one knew what they were doing. Esther was feeling antsy. She prodded Gilbert to ask if there was anything wro

    That very afternoon, Esther and Gilbert rushed to Faust Group to sign the deal. Gilbert said he was worried that Alec would change his mind, so he urged Esther to sign it. Only through a written contract would they be able to relax. Esther thought it made sense and agreed to rush to Faust Group with Gilbert.In the meeting room, Alec looked at the two people before him, expressionless. "You have a good son, Mrs. Bradshaw." "I'm flattered. My son had Bradshaw Operations' interests at heart. He'll inevitably be a little insensitive. Please don't hold that against him, Mr. Faust." Esther smiled. She didn't mind Alec's sarcasm because it didn't matter. As long as Bradshaw Operations could truly benefit from this, she didn't care how much Alec mocked her. Alec smiled coldly and slid the contract over to her. "You may flip through it." Esther took it and read through it seriously.If this project succeeded, they would reap massive rewards. However, it required a massive upfront inv

    In the following days, Gilbert headed over to Faust Group infrequently during the day. To others, he was there to talk business with Alec. But in reality, it was a different scenario altogether. Vincent brought Gilbert a cup of coffee in Alec's office. Because of all the times he'd been there, Vincent knew what he wanted without having to ask. Alec had a cup of coffee placed before him, too. Everyone thought that Gilbert was trying to convince Alec to give him one of the shares, which was why he always came there, but that was not the case. The collaboration was a set-up. As long as the Bradshaws signed the deal on the project, they would not escape unscathed. Gilbert had planned this for a long time just to trick the Bradshaws into accepting the project. However, the scheme had to be executed perfectly. Since Gilbert buttered up the project in front of the Bradshaws, Alec had to feign disinterest in his collaboration. Otherwise, it would seem suspicious if Alec, a smart ma

    After the engagement party, Gilbert officially had a stronghold in Bradshaw operations. Because he was already very capable, he had a lot of supporters. No one challenged him in the company. Most of them sucked up to him because they knew that if things went well, he would be the heir of the company.Gilbert didn't really care about that. He didn't even want to be there for long. He knocked on Esther's door and walked into her office."Come, sit." Esther was all smiles when she saw him. It was more sincere than before.She used to doubt him a lot, but now, although she still had her reservations, she mostly believed in him. In her eyes, no one would reject the chance to inherit Bradshaw Operations. This was basically manna from Heaven. Gilbert just didn't know it back then, and now he did. Gilbert sat down in front of Esther and began reporting the information he had gathered, as well as his thoughts on Bradshaw Operations and his plans for the future.When he presented the inf

    Gilbert and Lottie's engagement party was held at Bardoff Grand Hotel on Saturday.A ton of people showed up to their engagement party. After all, the Bradshaws and the Silveras were pretty big names in Bardoff City, and plenty of the other families knew of their true wealth. They all came to attend the party. Jenny and Alec had both received invites. Jenny was Gilbert's sister, and on top of that, they represented the Walters and the Fausts. It was to be expected. At first, Jenny didn't want to go. The party held no meaning to it. It was just a show put on for Esther. It would be a complete waste of her time. However, she was talked into it by Alec. It would be weird if she didn't go. Zack brought Janet to the party. He found Jenny and was in a daze. "Wasn't Gilbert courting Marigold? Why is he engaged to Lottie?" Jenny rolled her eyes. "What have you been doing, Zack? You're really bad at keeping up." Gilbert had been courting Lottie for a while now. If Zack paid attention

    Gilbert drove to Jenny's villa, but he was in no rush to get down. He didn't unlock the doors, either. He obviously wanted to talk to Marigold. But Marigold evidently didn't want to. "I want to take my child and leave." She was afraid. What if Gilbert and Lottie married and took her child away? She no longer believed in love. The only thing she believed in was her child. Gilbert tightened his grip when he heard that. "Marigold, the engagement is only for Esther to see. I have no feelings for Lottie." "Who knows? People change. You said you didn't have feelings for me, too." Marigold found this all very amusing. Perhaps this was fate. Gilbert wanted to keep explaining, but Marigold did not give him the chance to. "Just let me and Caleb leave. If what you say is true, you can come to find us once everything is over." And if Gilbert didn't come looking for her, the truth would unfold itself, and she would give up all hope. Gilbert understood that Marigold had already made

    Marigold was miserable throughout dinner, but she persevered till the end without being too dramatic. After dinner, they walked to the entrance of the shopping mall.Gilbert went to get the car. Lottie stood with Jenny and Marigold. Watching Gilbert leave, she turned toward Marigold. "I heard that you used to like Gilbert very much." "It's all in the past. It's not worth mentioning." Marigold didn't want to talk about it. She was afraid that Lottie would see that she still liked Gilbert. Most importantly, she was afraid that Gilbert's plan would be ruined. Lottie smiled. "That's true. The past is the past. You're such a nice person. You'll definitely be able to find someone better suited for you in the future." Marigold pursed her lips. Gilbert soon brought the car over. Lottie was about to get into the car, but before she did, she suddenly turned to Marigold and said, "Gilbert and my engagement party will be in a few days' time. If you have the time, you're more than welcom

    Everyone was shocked to hear her speak so suddenly. Lottie was stunned, and she explained, "You've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just think that if the child follows his father, it'll help him develop better, and you'll be less stressed." "I don't need your concern. I can raise my child alone," Marigold snorted. She did not hold back at all. Lottie looked unpleasant. Gilbert had no choice but to step in. "We'll have our own child together. And whoever likes it the most will get to keep it." Although they knew that Gilbert had meant this for Lottie to hear, Marigold found it extremely upsetting. She looked at Gilbert, and for a moment, she was unable to tell if he was being genuine. She thought of all that Gilbert had said to her last night, saying that he didn't like Lottie and had no intention of marrying her. But he looked to be truly in love. Marigold didn't think she could tell if he was faking it. "I'm sorry. I need to go to the restroom." Marigold didn't w
