After she left the prison, Lynette told Jenny the last words Eric had said to her. Then, she added, "You don't have to hold back or worry about anything for my sake. Although Pete was raised by me, he's not really my son after all.""I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I know what to do," Jenny said to Lynette on the phone.After they hung up, Jenny didn't think much of the matter. Although she'd entertained Pete's invitation to a meal before out of consideration for Lynette, it didn't mean she would compromise again and again.If Pete wanted her and Alec to help him, he had to offer enough chips. As long as he could offer sufficiently attractive benefits, even if he were a stranger, she and Alec would help him.On the day Eric was executed, the news gave enough coverage to the former overlord of Bayside City. Jenny could see that almost all the media published news related to Eric on that day, no matter which website she browsed.But did it even matter at this point in time?
Lynette understood the meaning behind Jenny's words. She smiled and said, "It's just that we're both old now, unlike before.""Age has never been an excuse to limit your love for your destined one." Jenny turned around and looked at Lynette.Lynette was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "You're right.""So, do you still want to be with my father?" Jenny asked, actually worried that Lynette might change her mind now.However, her worries were unnecessary.Lynette thought for a moment and nodded. "Of course, I've been waiting for this day for so many years."Hearing that, Jenny was relieved, "I hope you both can be happy.""What about you? Jenny, what about your happiness?"Right now, Lynette didn't care whether she could be happy or not. Instead, she cared more about Jenny's happiness.Jenny's gaze instinctively turned toward the kitchen. Lynette understood instantly but still had some concerns. "Your father told me that you were divorced from him before. Why did you choose to
"Jenny, I don't care about these things. In fact, I suggested it," Lynette said. Although she still loved Graham, she didn't want to suffer the hardships of marriage all over again. She felt that being together with Graham like this was good enough, and there was no need to be hung up on any form of legal status to be Graham's wife.Since Lynette said so, Jenny didn't push for them to get married and let it go. "Alright, you guys should decide for yourselves."After all, it was their own business, and the days ahead were theirs to live. As a daughter, she had no right to intervene too much.The topic ended there. Graham had originally wanted to ask Jenny and Alec when they planned to get married, as he planned to go traveling around the world after they got married. But thinking of what Alec had said in the kitchen earlier, he felt that asking now might be a bit too hasty.No matter when they got married, Graham and Lynette could always hurry back by that time.Soon, they were don
Alec's lesson to the Wardleys caused Anthony to suffer a great loss very soon, but he didn't give up. On the contrary, he felt dissatisfied and thought he wasn't inferior to Alec in any aspect except for his background. Now that he had caught up in terms of background and status, he was naturally adamant about proving his abilities.Unfortunately, he overestimated himself in the end.For a while, everyone in Bardoff City knew that Anthony and Alec were warring against each other, and it was evident to everyone that Anthony was no match for Alec. Looking at how the stock market prices had been tanking continuously for the Wardleys, they would be finished if the situation persisted.However, since they were a big and prominent family, their fall wouldn't happen that quickly. It was just that everyone could foresee that if things continued like that, the Wardleys would be doomed sooner or later.Before this, Anthony had approached some families, wanting to join forces with them to dea
When Jenny opened her eyes again, it was already the third day after the car accident. Although Alec had shielded her from the impact at that time, she still suffered significant injuries.Looking at the white ceiling above her, Jenny felt momentarily confused and was unable to react.Stephanie pushed the door open and entered, intending to check on Jenny's condition. When she saw Jenny's opened eyes, she burst into tears of joy. "Jenny, you're awake!""Yeah," Jenny responded weakly, her voice hoarse and barely able to croak the word.Seeing that, Stephanie quickly brought her some water so that she could take a small sip. Jenny felt much more comfortable after hydrating her throat.She asked Stephanie to help her sit up against the headboard and slowly came to her senses. "Where is Alec?"Stephanie's expression became a little apprehensive at her question, but she didn't hide anything from her best friend. "He's still in the ICU."Hearing that, Jenny's complexion paled in respo
No one was willing to take Jenny to see Alec. As she was still physically very weak, she could only give up."Gilbert, can you help me look up that dead driver? I don't think it was just an accident." She didn't believe that things could happen so coincidentally. Even if it really was an accident, she had to look into it herself and dispel any suspicious points.Gilbert didn't refuse. "Okay, I'll look into it for you. But promise me you'll take care of yourself and not do anything reckless.""Don't worry, I know." Jenny nodded. With her current condition, she could barely even get out of bed, let alone leave the ward.Gilbert and Zack stayed in the ward with Jenny for half an hour before leaving the hospital, leaving only Stephanie to take care of her.In the evening, Graham and Lynette came to visit.In the past two days, there had been various rumors about Jenny and Alec's accident among the Faust and Walter family members. As a result, Graham had to spend more time dealing wit
Jenny didn't mind her antics; she was worried about Alec.Stephanie drank the soup and casually commented, "It looks like your mom is doing her best to treat you well. She's trying her best to make up for the lost time with you.""I don't need her to make it up to me." Jenny shook her head and continued, "I don't need her to feel like she owes me anything.""That's how you think, but she may not think that way," Stephanie replied casually, savoring the soup and relishing the taste on her tongue.Jenny rolled her eyes at Stephanie. "Is it good?""It's delicious!" Stephanie nodded and asked, "Do you want a sip?""No, thanks." Jenny shook her head. As a doctor, she knew better than anyone to follow medical advice.Stephanie had another serving before putting the thermos back where it had been. "So, what do you want me to help you with?"Although Jenny hadn't said anything yet, Stephanie could tell she wanted her to help with something.Jenny smiled at her. "Can you help me find a
Stephanie pushed Jenny back to her ward, and with great effort, she managed to get Jenny back in bed. "Ah, I'm so tired," she complained."You've worked hard, Steph. Thank you," Jenny said, feeling a bit embarrassed."Now you know how hard it was for me. When you asked for my help before, why didn't it cross your mind how tiresome it was?" Stephanie questioned irritably, feeling a little annoyed.Jenny chuckled, knowing that Stephanie wasn't really angry. "How's your relationship with Leonard going? You haven't contacted me in a long time."On the day Max and Jade got married, Stephanie and Leonard got together as well. After that day, the two of them hadn't seen each other. It had been several months since then, and now it was summer."It's going okay. I didn't know how busy work at the police station could get. But after becoming his girlfriend, I know that better than anyone else now." Stephanie couldn't help but complain whenever she talked about Leonard."You know, they do
