Alec lit a cigarette by the door, gazing up at the night sky, deep in thought.

Footsteps sounded from behind him. It was Mortimer, surprised that his son was still there. "You're still here. Good. I need to talk to you about something."

Alec tossed the cigarette on the ground and snubbed it with his foot. "Really. What?"

"Break up with Jenny Walter and never have any contact with her again," Mortimer said swiftly, oblivious to his son's hostility.

Alec sneered but said nothing.

"How could a woman like her be on the same level as you? She's obviously just in for your money. She's not fit to be your wife, Alec!" Mortimer had no clue about Jenny's background. Old Mr. Faust didn't tell him either, so Alec wasn't going to start.

His hands curl into fists by his sides. "A woman like her? She's a hundred times better than that whore you ran away with."

Mortimer's face darkened immediately. "Don't you dare talk about her like that!"

"You're protecting her even after her death? How roma

    Saturday night was La Vie Jen Rose Designs official launch. Jenny had rushed to the office early in the morning to finalize the preparations.Jade crept to her side and whispered, "Is Alec coming?"Jenny grew still. She did call him last night, but he seemed busy with work and couldn't make it to tonight's event."No. He's busy with work." Jenny shook her head.Jade looked disappointed. Alec's attendance would've added more influence on the company's opening. "It's fine. I trust our company's worth," she murmured, as if reassuring herself.Once the preparations were complete, they proceeded to the storefront where their models and outfits were. The staff were busy making sure everything was ready."Nervous, Jenny? The world will soon witness your brand's capabilities."Jenny shrugged. "I have faith in my creations." She gazed at all the outfits ready on their hangers, and confidence and pride swelled in her chest."Good for you, 'cause even I'm nervous." Jade was actually afrai

    Jenny's smile soured just the slightest as doubt crept into her mind. Yes, the Faust Group hadn't been up to much lately, so why had Alec been so busy? He didn't even have time to grab a quick lunch with her.Something was wrong.Jenny quickly stopped those thoughts from spreading. She decided to make a trip to the Faust Group after tonight to finally get an honest answer from Alec.As Jade ended her speech and applause followed, their shop officially opened. The crowd flocked in, and Jenny, alongside her staff, tended to the customers.Their prices raised several gasps and hushed whispers, being on par with several international luxury brands."Look at the price on this!" someone cried unabashedly.Jenny went up to the woman who had spoken up. "Would you like to hear about what materials we use for our clothing?""No, actually. I just want to know why you'd dare price your items as high as the Shanelle across from here."Obviously, this woman was rich. But still, she didn't wa

    Yvonne was enjoying the scene she had caused. Two of her staff stood by her side, holding robes similar to the ones the woman had purchased from Jenny's store.The woman quickly compared her purchase with the ones shown. Her face fell when she realized they were nearly identical. She tossed a robe at Jade, demanding, "What is this? You expect me to wear a copycat's work?!"She was an influential woman in Parrington, so wearing something like this would surely ruin her reputation.Jade tucked the robe in her arms and glanced at the ones Yvonne's staff were holding. "We can guarantee there was no copyright infringement involved.""No?" Yvonne sneered and walked up to Jenny. "How would you explain the similarity in our designs when we've been open for a week now?"Jenny knew Yvonne was coming directly at her. All this copycat stuff must've been her idea too. She just had to figure out how Yvonne got her designs."I have the fashion drawing for this robe because I drew the design mys

    The police came, and the customers soon left. Yvonne didn't understand how Jenny looked so confident. Did she have evidence?She cautiously went up to Jenny. "Do you have proof that you didn't copy our work?""Don't you worry. I'll be handing all our proof to the police. You just worry about whether you missed something. Or your reputation will be ruined once the truth comes out." Jenny grinned.Yvonne was shocked by her confidence but quickly recomposed herself. "Hmph! We'll see just what you can come up with!" Before she left the premises, she turned around to upset Jenny even further. "Alec hasn't been coming to you recently, has he?"Jenny frowned but ignored her."Don't you wanna know what he's been up to?" Yvonne grinned. "Because I know exactly what's going on with him.""Nope. We're alright. Thank you for your concern." Jenny turned to leave."Really? Then why does it seem like you don't know anything that's going on?" If only Jenny knew about Mortimer Faust, she wouldn'

    "What's her name?""Quinn Blue."…The web browser she had opened up was filled with information about Quinn Blue.Jenny had been lauded as an academic when she was still in school and even after. But after seeing all the records and accomplishments this woman had, she suddenly felt inferior. Quinn had both intellectual and athletic prowess, as well as developed several humanitarian projects.Jenny shook her head, trying to shake away the sensation from her mind.Quinn was beautiful, yes; an academic, yes; but that was none of Jenny's business. They were two different people.She shut her laptop, deciding to have a talk with Alec about that woman. If he really only thought of Jenny as a substitute, then they might as well end things. She wasn't about to be someone else's substitute.A knock on the door made her jump in surprise.Could it be Alec? Did he rush over after hearing what happened at the store?Jenny hurried to the door, hope gathering in her heart. It had been so l

    Christopher stared at the bowl of instant noodles and reconsidered marrying Jenny.Was his grandfather toying with him?Jenny shot him a look. "You're lucky to have something to eat right now. If you don't want any, you can leave."Most men were probably like Christopher, she thought; never lifted a finger to cook or clean for themselves. Alec was a rare one, for sure.Jenny felt a little sad at that. The thought of not being with him anymore, of not eating his cooking ever again, was terrible."You really went all out, huh." Christopher sat down to eat the noodles. He was hungry, after all.Jenny ignored him and quietly ate her food, wondering when to meet with Alec again. Before that, she'd have to deal with her company. She couldn't let Yvonne frame her for copyright infringement.Christopher didn't leave after finishing his meal."Why are you still here?""Let's chat for a bit, hm? You're not busy, are you?" The man lounged on her couch. He couldn't just leave after finall

    The door opened to Alec standing before it, much to Christopher's surprise."What are you doing here?""Why are you here?"Both men spoke up simultaneously, surprised by the other's response.Alec's expression darkened. He stormed past Christopher to find Jenny eating instant noodles at the dining table. She had been looking forward to seeing him, too; it had been a while since they had spent time together.Christopher closed the door and sat down in front of Jenny. "Do you want something to eat, Mr. Faust? Jenny can make another bowl for you."Alec gritted his teeth, very upset with what was going on. He had rushed over after hearing what happened to La Vie Jen Rose Designs just to console her. But here she was, holed up with Christopher, having dinner together. Who knows what would've transpired if he hadn't been here in time?The rage in his chest was ablaze. He had held on all these days just to prevent Mortimer from hurting Jenny.What had she been doing, hm? Turning her a

    Alec didn't know how to answer Jenny's question.The Faust Group had only kept him busy for a little. He hadn't come to find Jenny because of Mortimer Faust. His father had eyes and ears on his tail. Alec feared he would do something to her if they found out he had been seeing Jenny.Besides, he had been occupied with winning over the board of directors and plotting to kick Mortimer off it. It hadn't been easy with most of those old men supporting Mortimer. They had been the ones who voted the man for the spot all those years ago and had long been upset about Alec's new way of doing things.Alec hadn't told Jenny any of this. He didn't want her to worry or let her know his father was alive."Aren't you going to say anything?" Jenny's smile fell.To her, Alec remained silent because he didn't know what to say, showing that he actually hadn't been busy these few days.Sensing Jenny's displeasure, Alec explained, "It's just been a lot of paperwork I have to look through.""Oh.

    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
