Alec's gaze was scorching. Jenny found herself unable to look away after they locked eyes. There was a change in the air—it was filled with chemistry and passion. Before she could make sense of it, she felt him kissing her on the lips. It was a light peck, but he lingered for a little longer.

Her phone rang at the wrong time. Alec almost wanted to tear the caller into pieces. Pulled back to reality, she pushed him away embarrassedly. "I'll take the call."

He was moody and silent. She could tell he was pissed, but she had to take the call. After she gathered herself, she checked her phone and saw that it was Zack, so she picked up without hesitation.

"Jenny! Janet is missing!" He sounded anxious over the phone. She was caught by surprise. She had just resolved Janet's family trouble. Why did Janet go missing right after?

"Calm down. I'll go to you." She hung up, scooped up her coat, and prepared to leave. Alec followed along irritably. He couldn't stay out of it because Zack was Jen

    They found her soon, albeit in a bad place.When Jenny received the call, she immediately rushed over with Zack, praying that nothing would happen to Janet. She dared not imagine how Zack would be if something had happened to her.Ten minutes later, the car pulled up in front of a tall building. Many had gathered downstairs, and the firefighters were laying out an air cushion. It was obvious what was happening.When Jenny told Zack that Janet had been located, he was relieved. At the moment, however, he was desperately climbing the stairs."Janet!" he yelled.Seeing him running toward the stairs like a madman, she dragged him into the elevator in time. God knew how long it would take for him to climb the stairs."Zack, calm down. How can you persuade Janet to calm down if you're not calm?" She was afraid that Zack might end up pushing Janet off the edge if he wasn't calm.At her words, Zack steeled his nerves. Soon, the elevator doors opened, revealing the sky roof where firefig

    At 10 pm, Jenny and company arrived at an eatery for kebabs and beer.Due to what had happened earlier, everyone had a heavy heart. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end. If something did, Jenny couldn't imagine how Zack would live."I'm sorry, Jenny," Janet said, looking at Jenny. Sighing, Jenny waved her apology away. "Just promise me you'll be well and healthy. Don't do it again. Even if you have no regard for yourself, please think about my brother. Don't you know how much he loves you?"Janet blushed, feeling both guilty and embarrassed. "It won't happen in the future." Since her parents had been dealt with, she wouldn't do anything stupid again, even if Jenny had not made her promise to do so. "Hurry up and dig in. The kebabs here are delicious." Zack beckoned them to eat, feeling much better than before. He opened a can of beer and immediately poured it into his glass. Just as Jenny was about to stop him, Janet stopped him first. "You're still recovering, so you can'

    After the issue between Janet and Zack was resolved, Jenny tried to meet Gilbert, but he declined her invitation, claiming to be busy. With no other option, Jenny decided to visit Gilbert's company.When Jenny knocked on the door to Gilbert's office, he was still busy with work."Gilbert," Jenny called, standing in front of his desk. "It's lunchtime. Won't you treat me to a meal?"Gilbert didn't expect Jenny to visit him. Nonetheless, he didn't turn her away. Instead, he smiled and said, "Alright."He took Jenny to the company cafeteria. After moving his company to Bardoff City, things were going fairly well. The company had grown in size; hence, it was crowded during lunchtime. Being the president of his company had its privileges. Jenny followed him to the second floor, where there was a dedicated place for him to order food."What would you like to eat?" Gilbert handed her the menu.Glancing at it, Jenny smiled and said, "The food you have here is much better than what we have

    No one could blame Jenny for reacting so strongly. Gilbert's idea came out of the blue. She was completely unprepared for it. She thought Gilbert would say that he wanted to travel around the world or look for a partner. Never had she expected him to say he wanted to visit Mount Wallington. It was hard for her to accept such a whiplash."Jenny, there's no need to be so worked up. No matter what I do in the future, I will always be your brother. That will never change," Gilbert said with a smile, not denying Jenny's remark about him wanting to become a priest.Jenny began to panic. Hurriedly, she said, "Calm down, Gilbert. You haven't even married or had children yet, let alone experienced the beautiful wonders of love. How can you suddenly be disillusioned with the world and what it has to offer?"Jenny felt that his decision had been made too quickly."Regarding marriage and children, they have no appeal to me. The same goes for romance," he answered. While he had once considere

    After the call ended, Alec couldn't help feeling both amused and annoyed regarding Jenny's recent request. She wanted him to gather information on eligible young women around him. Was she not afraid he would develop feelings for someone else?He delegated the task to Vincent, but Vincent felt conflicted. "Mr. Faust, isn't this inappropriate?" he asked. "You and Miss Walter are about to get married."Would Jenny agree to the marriage if she knew? Vincent had witnessed the hardships they had gone through to get to where they were, so he truly hoped they could get married peacefully."What are you thinking? She requested this," Alec said, glancing at him. Did Vincent think so poorly of him?Vincent let out a sigh of relief, but he was still puzzled. "This is Miss Walter's request? Why?""You've been talking a lot lately," Alec said, side-eying him. Perhaps because they had spent so much time together, Alec noticed that Vincent feared him less and occasionally even exchanged jokes w

    Upon learning that Jenny would have dinner with Alfred and Mortimer in the evening, Alec insisted on going with them. He was worried about Jenny meeting them alone.In the car, Alec was driving while Jenny leaned against the car window. In annoyance, she said, "You don't have to worry so much. They won't do anything to me.""Who knows?" Alec didn't want to take any risks. "I'll accompany you. If they have any ill intentions, they won't dare to act on it.""Alright, alright, whatever you say." Jenny didn't want to argue with Alec. After all, she would be discussing the matters entrusted to her by Old Mr. Faust. Hence, there probably wouldn't be any conflicts or arguments.The car soon arrived at the restaurant. Alfred and Mortimer hadn't arrived yet, so Jenny chose a seat and waited for them.It didn't take long before the two of them arrived. They were visibly surprised to see Alec there as well. But when they thought about it, it was expected as Jenny and Alec were about to get m

    The next day, Jenny brought a young girl she had chosen to meet Gilbert. At present, nothing was more important to Jenny than finding a suitable partner for Gilbert. She didn't want her brother to become a priest at Mount Wallington."Gilbert, this is Kitty Sunders," Jenny announced, introducing her to Gilbert.Hearing that, Gilbert looked up at the two women in front of him. With a blank expression on his face, he answered, "Hello, Miss Sunders.""Hello, Gilbert. We've met before." Kitty was stunned when she received a phone call from Jenny. She couldn't believe that Jenny would call her. After listening to the whole story, she became even more flabbergasted when Jenny expressed wanting to bring Kitty to meet Gilbert for a blind date. It seemed like a scam. However, since it was Jenny, she chose to believe her.Only now, when she saw Gilbert before her, she confirmed Jenny wasn't joking and truly wanted to introduce her to him.Meanwhile, Gilbert was puzzled because he didn't r

    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
