"Of course he'd cover for his friend," Jenny thought.

She remembered the call she had with Alec that day. His tone was off, and she hadn't noticed anything then. But now that she looked back on it, it seemed obvious.

It was no wonder that Alec didn't come to see her these past few days. He didn't contact her often, either. He was probably afraid that he would give something away.

At once, it felt as if a huge rock were weighing down on Jenny. She couldn't breathe.

She got up and walked out of the room. "I'm going to make a call."

Gilbert didn't ask her any questions. He guessed that Jenny was going to call Alec. He was happy to see this happening. He didn't believe for one second that Alec knew nothing about this, and Jenny would not believe it, either.

Jenny went to the balcony and took a deep breath before calling Alec.

"Jenny?" Alec's voice sounded the moment the call went through. He seemed surprised that Jenny would call him.

She said nothing, suddenly realizing she didn't

    Jenny and her group of people reached Paul's villa. A bodyguard walked up to her. "Miss Jenny?""Where's Paul Wagner?" Jenny looked unpleasant. All she wanted to know was how Stephanie was doing."He's waiting for you," the bodyguard replied. He gestured for Jenny to follow him.Jenny raised an eyebrow. So, it seemed that Paul already knew that she was coming. She didn't decline, following the bodyguard into the villa. Perhaps Paul was feeling confident. He even permitted Gilbert and the people to go in. There were about twenty of them, clearly not here on good terms.Paul was drinking coffee in the living room. When he saw Jenny and the troupe of people tagging along behind her, he didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. "Is this really necessary? Alec and I are friends. I should even be calling you my sister-in-law."Paul looked like the dominant friend, but Alec was the older of the two. That was why Paul would call Jenny his sister-in-law. He seemed to think Alec and Jenny wou

    Paul just wanted to know what Jenny's people would do if he refused to let Stephanie go. Would she fight him?"Paul Wagner!" Alec roared. He was already suppressing a lot of his anger.Paul ignored him. He knew that Alec, as his best friend, would not hit him for Jenny's sake. He was not afraid. He got up and walked toward Jenny. "I'm just not going to let her go today. What can you do about it?""The Wagners are notorious in all of Parrington. What can a normal person like me do to you?" Jenny looked up at him, smirking.Paul was surprised. "So you're going to give up?""Give up?" Jenny burst into laughter as if she'd heard a joke. "Stephanie is my best friend. I wouldn't let her go even if I die.""Oh. So you're planning to die with me?" If Jenny were to do that, Paul would have to look at her in a different light.However, Jenny took over a few documents from Gilbert and presented them to Paul. "Not to that extent. Why don't you look at these things and reconsider your decisi

    "As long as Stephanie is all and well, I wouldn't want to be at odds with the Wagners," Jenny said. The implication behind her words was clear. She had no intention of leaking the contents of the document. She was just threatening Paul with it.Paul went back to his seat and stared at her. "What you're holding can determine my life or death. How could I believe you?""You have no choice." Jenny frowned. Her words were the unpleasant truth.Paul stared at the woman before him and then looked at Alec. "You can't control a woman like this.""Cut the crap. Let her go." Alec couldn't be bothered with him. He didn't want to control Jenny.Paul shrugged. "Alright. I'll let her go for your sake."Jenny scoffed. If Paul were really doing things for Alec's sake, he would've let Stephanie go a long time ago. Paul was just afraid of what that document could do, but Jenny couldn't be bothered to expose him. As long as Stephanie was alright, nothing else mattered.Soon, Stephanie was brought

    Jenny brought Stephanie out along with her group of people. They left Paul's sight quickly. Stephanie's words and her look of hatred had made a lasting impression."They're all gone. Why are you still here?" Paul looked at Alec dejectedly after a moment.Alec frowned. He could sense that something was off with Paul. "If you like her, just pursue her. You'll just push her away like this."Paul sneered at his words. His slender fingers typed on the keyboard. "I could have any woman I wanted. Why would I pursue her? Someone would think she was a princess.""The choice is yours. Don't come crying to me when you regret this later." Alec didn't have the strength to talk to him anymore and turned to leave."Why don't you worry about yourself? I don't think Jenny is easy to handle," Paul said cruelly.Alec's face turned dark instantly. He glared at him. "Thanks for the reminder.""You're welcome." Paul waved at him, an infuriating look on his face.Alec left the villa and called Jenny

    When Alec left the apartment, the sky had turned dark. He walked alone by the road. He didn't drive, merely walking around aimlessly.Meanwhile, Jenny was not as calm as she had made herself out to be. She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.…When news of the Dickmans' bankruptcy spread, Jenny had just finished performing surgery. She received the message that Gilbert had sent, as well as a copy of the information on the fashion design company she wanted.She looked through it carefully and changed her clothes, heading straight toward Dickman LLC, though it shouldn't be called that anymore.When she arrived, Gilbert and Max were both there. They were arguing over shares, both wanting to have the bigger slice of the pie.Jenny didn't interfere in their matters. Even if Gilbert was her brother, it was best if she kept a distance from their affairs. But when they saw her coming, they stopped arguing. "Jenny, are you sure that you want to succeed that design company? I

    She said nothing. Max, however, didn't intend to stop just there. "Go on, tell me. What happened between you and Alec? Are you really not going to give him a chance?"She was silent."You know, I don't think you should blame him for this. It's his best friend, after all. Plus, I believe he must have made sure Stephanie was alright, which is why he was in no hurry to tell you. Even if you hadn't found Paul, Stephanie would have come back safely."Jenny thought his words made sense. She looked at him and laughed. "Did an alien replace you? You're backing him up?"Max treated Alec like his enemy, but he was not fanning the flames. Conversely, he was taking Alec's side. It was very unusual.Max coughed dryly to ease the awkwardness. "You don't know my true motives, then.""Really? Pray tell." Jenny looked at him with a smile, waiting to see how he'd explain this."If you get back together, Alec will focus all his energy on you. He wouldn't control Faust Group as much. And I would be

    When Jenny walked into the meeting room, most of the people were already in there. When they saw her walking in, they were all nervous. They didn't know what to expect.Jenny sat at the end of the table and looked at the clerk next to her. "Is everyone here?""Yes. Most of them are here," the clerk replied."Most of them?" Jenny raised her eyebrows.The clerk couldn't help panicking when Jenny looked at her like that. "A few designers aren't here yet. They said…they said…""Said what?" Jenny asked. She didn't expect things to go smoothly on her first day, so she wasn't surprised by this."They said that even if you're their boss, they won't take orders from you because they're the pillars of the company," the clerk said in a soft voice, afraid Jenny would be mad. She didn't know why she was so afraid of Jenny when she looked so friendly. She felt there was an air about her that screamed confidence."The pillars of the company?" Jenny was amused. If they were that important, the

    The moment the words left her mouth, everyone was stunned. They looked at Jenny, all wanting to know her answer.Jenny didn't think much about the identities except for the one about her being Alec's ex-wife. Did that really matter? Why did everyone want to know about that?Feeling their gazes, Jenny nodded. "Yes. It's me.""Oh my God!" the girl exclaimed. But then she apologized at once. "I'm sorry. I was just nervous."What was there to be nervous about? Jenny didn't understand it.The employees didn't expect such a young woman to bear so many identities. Each of them was difficult to accomplish."I'm going to stay," the girl said. She believed that someone this capable wouldn't make the company bankrupt; it might even get better. She was not going to let this opportunity go.With someone taking the lead, everyone else would follow naturally. At once, the majority of them chose to stay, but a few still chose to leave. Part of it was because they didn't think Jenny would know h

    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
