"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 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.

    Alec's forehead furrowed even further as he stared incredulously at Jenny. "You saw the photo?"Jenny didn't respond. There was no reason to deny it."You dug through my study?" he asked furiously. He had kept the photo in his study, tucked away in an inconspicuous place. She wouldn't have seen the picture if she hadn't been thorough.Jenny wasn't afraid of him now. In fact, she found it amusing. "Yes, I did." She was curious about what Alec would do now.Right now, he had the urge to hit someone. But not Jenny—himself. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Things aren't what you think they are, Jenny. Quinn and I have nothing to do with each other anymore.""Oh? Then explain to me what the situation is right now. Can you swear that you didn't approach me in the first place because I looked like her?" Jenny demanded and was met with Alec's silence.He did approach her because she resembled Quinn. Later, he grew to like her for her, and it stopped having anything to do with

    Jenny watched Alec disappear from her sight, tears burning in her eyes. She wiped them away before they could fall and went back into her apartment.Christopher stood in the corner, watching the scene unfold and feeling unbearably awkward. He had never expected the two to break up just because he stayed at Jenny's for dinner. He also didn't expect to feel this terrible seeing his original goal accomplished."Are you…alright? I promise I didn't do it on purpose," he muttered, shying away from Jenny's eyes. She walked past him and into her apartment, not saying anything. Christopher ran after her hurriedly. "I really didn't expect you two to—"Jenny shot back coldly, "It's nothing to do with you." Even if he hadn't been there, they would've broken up when the topic of her being a substitute was raised.Christopher sighed with relief. "They wouldn't have broken up just because I stuck around for instant noodles," he thought.Jenny went straight into the elevator while Christopher fol

    Vincent wondered if Mr. Faust had broken up with Jenny in order to protect her, then affirmed this guess. His boss could do anything to ensure his loved one's safety. He was just unsure if Jenny knew of this sacrifice.After Vincent left, Alec sat alone in his office, letting exhaustion wash over him. He had been riddled with anxiety ever since Mortimer threatened to hurt Jenny, never having a chance to truly rest.Breaking up now was the best choice. He could always explain everything to Jenny after things had calmed down.As for Quinn…Alec's face fell. He called Vincent again."Find out who Jenny has come into contact with these past few days."He didn't believe Jenny would snoop through his study for no reason. Someone must've told her something.…The news of their breakup soon spread like wildfire. Almost everyone in Parrington's upper class came to know of this; they were even more shocked that the two had been dating in the first place.When Jenny came to work the next

    "C-cameras…?" Felicity stuttered. "Cameras in her own home? Is Jenny some kind of a control freak?" she thought.Jenny chuckled, showing her cousin the clip of her sneaking into her study. "I feel so sorry for Uncle David, Felicity."She had really hoped her cousin would turn over a new leaf.Felicity gaped at the video, then stammered out, "S-so what? You can't prove that I gave it to Yvonne!"Clearly, she had prepared herself for a confrontation.As if expecting the answer, Jenny showed her another footage.

    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
