At that moment, Jenny shone brightly in Alec's eyes. He stared at her admiringly for some time.

"Jenny." Feeling touched and excited, he asked, "Does that mean you're willing to be my girlfriend?"

"No." To his disappointment, she shook her head. She added, "I need more time for observation."

His eyes lit up, and he grinned. "Sure. I can wait." As long as she was working toward accepting his feelings, he could afford to wait.

Jenny changed the topic and brought up the factory, "I will have someone draft a new agreement and get it delivered to you. You'll own 40% of the shares, just like before."

"I don't need that many shares. 10% is enough for me," he replied. He no longer turned down her offer, but he refused to accept all the shares. Seeing her frown, he explained, "You deserve the factory. It was Marigold who wanted to take your life. You're worth more than the factory."

If Paul were not a friend, Alec would have gotten everyone in the Wagner Family to make it up to Jenn

    "I'll double your year-end bonus." Vincent instantly became invigorated upon hearing the reward. He declared with a righteous air, "I will complete the mission." He thought, "Sure, I might have lacked the experience, but so what? I can run some searches on the Internet. If I run out of ideas, I can ask for the advice of those in Faust Group with relationship experiences. There has to be something I can come up with." After Vincent left, Alec continued his work but struggled to focus because he was constantly distracted by his thoughts of Jenny. Smiling wryly, he never thought that he'd be so smitten with a woman. It was late when Old Mr. Faust visited Alec at the hospital. He barged into the room in a great hurry and looked at Alec with unspoken worries in his eyes. "Grandpa? Why are you here?" Alec remembered that he had clearly informed Vincent to keep the hospitalization a secret from his grandfather. In the end, he still found out about it. Fuming, Old Mr. Faust glared

    Standing outside the room with an insulated food container in her hand, Jenny listened to Alec's words. She felt glad and conflicted at the same time, not knowing whether to enter the room. After listening to what Alec had to say, Old Mr. Faust's expression sank, and he fell silent for a long time. "Do you still want to be with her even if it would cost your life?" he sounded distant and unhappy. Alec nodded without hesitation. "Yes." Old Mr. Faust gave him a long look and finally sighed in defeat. "Whatever. Do what you want." Alec heaved a sigh of relief after his grandfather yielded. "Grandpa, you don't have to worry. I'm not that weak. I can protect Jenny and myself." Underneath Old Mr. Faust's silence, he had come up with a plan. He couldn't afford to wait, for no one would know how long it'd take for the family in Bardoff City to discover Jenny's existence. She might be in greater trouble if her birth family's enemies found out about her before anyone else. Old Mr. Fa

    Alec abruptly opened the door and cut Old Mr. Faust off. Upset, he stared at his grandpa. "Why are you still here chatting instead of going home?" "You rascal! I'm doing this all for you!" Old Mr. Faust was frustrated at Alec's insensibility. Alec shot a look at Warren and ordered, "Send Grandpa home. He shouldn't be lingering around." "You little punk!" Old Mr. Faust raised his stick at Alec, and Jenny hurried over to protect Alec when the stick was about to hit him. "Grandpa! He still hasn't recovered from his injuries!" In the end, Old Mr. Faust didn't beat Alec up because he had never intended to do so, apart from the fact that Jenny was standing between them. Smiling, he winked at Alec. "I'll let this slip for Jenny's sake." Speechless, Alec thought, "You're such a childish old man." After the old man left, Jenny and Alec returned to his room. She opened the thermal food container and said, "Time to eat." "Mmm. Did you make this?" he asked without thinking, but her

    Jenny dodged his question and asked instead, "Aren't you going to speak up for her?" "I gave her one last chance when she framed you for the murder." Alec looked frigid. "Even if you don't do anything against her this time, I will not let this slip." Somehow, her heart fluttered with joy when she heard his promise. She said, "We'll need to go against the Blooms to deal with her." She had a rough idea of what to do but had not found a loophole yet. "The Blooms…" Alec muttered, "They're definitely not an easy target. Remember, they're old money in Parrington with hundreds of years of history and lots of connections. It will be complicated." Even Alec dared not guarantee that he could ostracize the Blooms in Parrington. However, in the event that he wanted to make a move, he'd have to get rid of the Blooms once and for all. Else, he would be planting a ticking time bomb for the future. "That's why I'm still thinking hard." Jenny had no bad blood with the Blooms, and her actions

    "Why?" Christopher gave Harvey a perplexed look and waited for an explanation. Harvey merely glanced at him and said casually, "It's good to have more friends."It puzzled Christopher even more. "Grandpa, don't take me as a fool." He was speechless at the lame excuse. "Friends? Since when do I need friends?" he thought.Harvey coughed in embarrassment after his intention was exposed. "I think Jenny is a decent lady. I'd like you to bring her around Bardoff and bond with her.""But didn't you say that it was a joke?" Christopher recalled that Harvey had asked him to pursue Jenny in Parrington, but they both took it as a joke. He had long put that memory at the back of his mind. Something felt off when Harvey brought up the matter again after a long time.Feeling annoyed by the barrage of questions, Harvey grumbled, "What's with all the questions? Don't be noisy, and get it done!""I won't!" Christopher shook his head furiously. "I don't even love her. Why do we need to bond?""W

    A week later, Alec was finally discharged.He looked at the woman beside him in the car. "Have you checked the file I sent you yesterday—the one on the adoptive family?"Jenny nodded and handed him a tablet. "I dug deeper into their background based on your information. For now, the couple seems nice and checks my boxes."Alec had found an adoptive family in Parrington for Justin and Lillian. The family was not wealthy by his standards, but they were upper middle class and got by comfortably. Raising two kids should be easy for them. Most importantly, the couple was loving but couldn't have children, and thus they were searching for kids to adopt. Jenny believed that Justin and Lilian would be treated well in that family."Let's seal the deal then. Should we set up a time and get the kids to meet with the couple?" Alec asked."Sure." Jenny wanted to get it settled as soon as possible too. "I'll need to pick the kids up at Orchid Village.""Can I go with you?" Alec was curious ab

    An angry Jenny burst out laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation. Miller Little was probably the most shameless person she had come across in her life. She couldn't imagine how tough family life was for Joey with such an alcoholic father, and she started feeling bad for the kid.Miller shot a threatening glare at her during her silence. "Are you paying up or not? If you don't, I'll make him get back to work!" Hearing that, Jenny walked up to him from behind Alec and stared at him coldly. Miller cowered underneath her stare but gritted his teeth and barked, "What can you do? You can't beat me up, can you? Get over here. Punch me!" He pointed at his face provocatively and inched closer to her. He planned to fall to the floor and demand compensation if Jenny punched him.Jenny rolled her fists and lashed out in the next second. However, instead of punching him, she grabbed him by his collar and lifted him off the ground. "I'm warning you, you'd better not cause trouble for Joey.

    The following morning was Jenny and Alec's trip to Orchid Village. Before they left, she gawked at the trunk of the car, filled to the brim with all sorts of gifts. "We're bringing the kids to Parrington. This is not a holiday visit.""The two can go hand-in-hand." He beamed and added, "We're meeting relatives who had watched over you as you grew up. I can't visit them empty-handed.""Why can't you? It's not like you're my boyfriend or anything," she fired back. People might mistake Alec for her lover at this rate."Well, maybe not now, but we'll be in a relationship in the future. I want to leave a good impression early on. Don't you agree?" He didn't wish to face any objections from her family and friends in the long run. Even if her relatives were easygoing, he didn't want to put Jenny in a difficult place. Therefore, he wanted to do his best.She was a little dumbfounded at his seriousness. Finally, she muttered, "Whatever."The car moved slowly on the road. Orchid Village was

    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
