Faced with Jenny's accusations, Miller leaned back in his chair and looked at her disdainfully. "How I treat Joey is my business. He's my son. There's no need for you to worry. But you..." Miller glanced at Jenny, then turned his gaze to the reporter who was filming beside him. "Hey, you. She kidnapped my son. You must stand up for me on this matter."The reporter looked embarrassed. They were just there to get a good news story. When they heard that Miller had some dirt on Jenny, they naturally came to get the scoop. After all, Jenny was a figure that everyone had been paying attention to in Parrington lately. However, seeing Jenny's calm demeanor, they felt they shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."Miss Walter, regarding the allegations made by this gentleman about you kidnapping his son, do you have anything to say? Did you really kidnap his son?" the reporter asked nervously.Jenny didn't bother to be polite to the reporter. She coldly glanced at him and asked, "Who are
Jenny had met many shameless people before, but Miller definitely took the cake. "So you caused a scene just for money?" Jenny deliberately raised her voice as she directed that question at him, purposely asking him something he wouldn't dare to answer rashly.In front of so many people, he certainly couldn't say that he was in it for the money. He was now in a disadvantageous position, and if he said it was, no one would continue to back him up. Miller understood this and coldly snorted, "Do you think you can do anything just because you have money? Does having money mean you can kidnap my son? I'm warning you. Don't make me call the police. If it hadn't been for you saving my son before, I would've called them already."He was smart with his words, as he indirectly explained why he hadn't called the police and gave others the impression he was magnanimous. Jenny couldn't be bothered with him and let him say whatever he wanted. Everything would be revealed when Joey arrived. It
The stool ultimately didn't hit Joey because Jenny acted in time and kicked Miller away. Her gaze coldly swept over Miller and landed on Joey with a flicker of anger. "Why didn't you dodge?""Jen, I—""Do you think giving him back your life will put an end to everything? Do you think he'll feel guilty after killing you?" Jenny glared at him, feeling incredibly incensed.How could such a foolish child exist? What would he gain from getting killed by a father who never loved him? Wasn't it better to stay alive?Joey lowered his head and didn't speak. He was afraid to look Jenny in the eye.Jenny sighed. She wasn't really angry at him; she was just concerned. "Don't do such foolish things in the future. Your life is your own, and it's more important than anything else.""Okay, I understand." Joey nodded. He didn't really want to die, but he didn't know how to be rid of Miller in this situation. He felt like he would be stuck with him for the rest of his life. Thinking about that mad
"Yes, yes. I will report the truth for sure." The reporter nodded repeatedly. His hatred toward Miller burned bright in his heart at that moment. He told them he had something scandalous about Jenny before they came here. But now, that was not the case at all. She was clearly doing a good deed.Thanks to Miller, he might have inadvertently gotten himself into trouble. If Jenny told Alec about him, that would spell the end of his career in Parrington. The reporter considered many things at that moment and even felt he should leave Parrington immediately to avoid being found by Alec.Jenny had no idea such a complex activity was taking place in the reporter's brain. She didn't care about him as long as he reported the truth.After everything was settled, Jenny apologized to Dr. Ledger, "Sorry, Director. It was all my fault today. I didn't expect...""No, it wasn't your fault. Some people are not fit to be fathers, and you did nothing wrong." Anyone could tell that Jenny was helping
From the tone of Jenny's voice, Morgan was sure the person on the other end of the line was definitely Jenny's boyfriend. She had never heard Jenny talk so tenderly to anyone before.Jenny cleared her throat and didn't deny it. "Drive safely, Morgan. Stop being so nosy."Morgan understood that Jenny was admitting to her assumption and couldn't help but laugh. "Who is he? Do I know him? Is he from the hospital?"Jenny shook her head, but she wasn't entirely sure. "Alec is a major shareholder of the hospital, so technically speaking, he can be considered someone from the hospital too?" Jenny contemplated silently. "I suppose so," she said softly, not very sure."Suppose so?" Morgan didn't understand the meaning of it. She surmised that perhaps he wasn't a doctor but someone from the administrative department.Jenny gave her a look and didn't intend to elaborate. "When the time comes for you to know, you'll know. It's a secret for now."She still hadn't figured out how to make her
Morgan had never experienced that kind of insult before, and she was on the verge of losing her temper. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're late.""Haven't I explained there was traffic?" Winston frowned, thinking Morgan looked average but was quite picky. The beautiful woman next to her hadn't even said a word.Jenny wasn't speaking because it wasn't her date. She was accompanying Morgan in case she encountered a man with ill intentions."Couldn't you leave earlier to avoid the traffic? What were you thinking, being late for our first meeting?" Morgan was still angry and wouldn't let him hear the end of his tardiness.Winston's expression was not much better. "It's my treat today. Order whatever you want. Will this do?"Morgan wanted to say more, but Jenny held her back and shook her head, whispering, "Since this date was introduced by your parents, it means that his parents should know your parents. Don't give him too much of a hard time. If you really don't like him, find an exc
Winston's words kept repeating themselves in Morgan's mind as she looked at him incredulously. "What did you say about the Goldings? What do you mean? Explain it to me!"Morgan had no idea about her family's financial situation since her parents had never talked to her about it. She'd assumed everything was fine. However, seeing the smug look on Winston's face, Morgan deduced he was probably not lying.No wonder her parents were so eager to arrange a blind date for her. They wanted to secure financial assistance for the Goldings. Morgan began to understand many things. But the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became."Calm down, Morgan." Jenny held her hand. "Don't panic."Jenny's calm voice soothed Morgan's nerves, and she replied, "Okay."The two returned to their seats. Since they had no intention of leaving, Winston also sat down and leisurely said, "The Goldings are about to go bankrupt. Your father approached my father and hoped that I would marry you. It woul
Morgan minded it a lot, but what else could she do?If she didn't marry Winston, the Goldings would face bankruptcy. Although she didn't care about the family's fortune and wealth, it was the result of her parents' lifetime worth of hard work. Faced with such a situation, Morgan couldn't just stand by and do nothing, could she?She forced a smile and said, "I don't mind. I think it's fine."She'd already made up her mind. If worse came to worst, she would just pretend she didn't get married. After all, she didn't want to see Winston any more than necessary. He was free to do whatever he wanted."Heh, that's quite surprising." Winston chuckled. Seeing Morgan's demeanor earlier, he thought she was very proud and wouldn't easily bow down. As expected, she couldn't bear to let the Goldings go bankrupt. If they became bankrupt, she would no longer be the little princess of her family. Naturally, she couldn't bear to part with that kind of status."Okay. I'll come to propose in person some o
