Jenny didn't answer Stephanie's question, saying, "Don't worry, there's always a way."Stephanie tried to stop her, "Jenny, you don't have to—""Okay, if you're going to keep me in the dark like this, it's clear you don't see me as a friend," Jenny cut her off angrily. Stephanie hadn't even told her about the crisis the Walkers were facing. Did she not consider her a friend anymore?Stephanie was silent, not wanting to upset Jenny further. She did see Jenny as a friend but didn't want to burden her with her problems.Unbeknownst to them, Paul stood on the second floor of the villa, watching them through the window with a menacing expression. Someone was behind him, and he promised they wouldn't be able to leave if Stephanie left with Jenny.After giving Stephanie some instructions, Jenny left the villa alone. She glanced up at the window where Paul was and knew he was watching her. "If you hurt Stephanie, I won't let you get away with it," she warned silently. With that, she drove
Christopher drank some water and remained silent for a moment before nodding. "I know him a little. What's the matter? Did he provoke you?"Jenny nodded. "You could say that. The Wagners are difficult to deal with, and I am no match for them alone. I want to ask for your help."Christopher was surprised. "I didn't expect you to ask me for help."Jenny continued, "The Wagners' influence in Parrington is not to be underestimated, and Paul has always been unscrupulous. He's a difficult person to deal with. Of course, you'll benefit from it. I don't want anything. You can take all of their property if you can bring them down."Jenny knew that getting rid of the Wagners was the only way to ensure Stephanie's safety in the future.Christopher was tempted. He had been in Parrington for a while and had nothing else to do besides meddling in Alec's project. However, he hesitated. Sensing his hesitation, Jenny said, "If you find it difficult, forget it. I won't force you to do it.""Jenn
While Jenny was busy collecting information on the Wagners, Simone called to inform her that she had successfully taken over as president of the Bloom Conglomerate. In addition, Sam and Yvonne no longer had shares in the company and had only the money they received from selling their shares. Jenny was pleased with the news but didn't have time to celebrate due to her efforts to save Stephanie."How do you want to deal with Yvonne?" Simone asked. If Jenny hadn't helped her with the secret information she provided, it would be impossible for her to get rid of those old geese in her family. After thinking about it, Jenny answered, "It's up to you. Just make sure she can't harm others.""Alright." Simone had expected that answer.Yvonne had harmed people in the past through her status as the eldest daughter of the Dickmans and using the Blooms as leverage. While things were different for her now, she still had a lot of money. If she wanted to harm someone, she could still devise a way
Christopher sighed, "Unfortunately, for now, it's the only option we have. You know that my family's headquarters are in Bardoff City, and I'll have to go back there eventually. Once I'm back, I won't be able to intervene in Parrington. If Paul continues attacking the Walkers, I won't be able to help."As long as Christopher was in Parrington, he could prevent Paul from attacking the Walkers, but once he left, the Walkers would not be protected.Jenny's heart sank, knowing Christopher had done all he could. "I understand.""The only way to truly solve the Walkers' crisis is to leave Parrington," Christopher proposed. It would be very troublesome, but it was the only way.Jenny hesitated. "But where can they go?"Even though Paul may not have that much influence in other cities, it would still be challenging for the Walkers to survive in other cities on their own. Hence, the situation might not change. "They can go to Bardoff City," Christopher suggested, "Paul's influence there
The meeting ended successfully, at least for Alec. Mortimer sat across from him, looking confused about how things had turned out. Alec sneered to himself, not caring about Mortimer's confusion. He got up to leave, but before he did, he needed to make a statement: he was breaking up with Natalia. The relationship they had was just a pretend collaboration to make Mortimer let his guard down while Natalia could stop her parents from matchmaking her. Now that Mortimer was no longer the chairman, Alec didn't need to pretend anymore, and he had to explain it clearly to Jenny."Why did you do this?" Mortimer couldn't hold his tongue and asked as Alec was about to leave. "I don't understand. I'm your father. Why are you opposed to me being the chairman?"Alec found Mortimer's question amusing and looked down at him, saying, "Why? You should ask yourself what you have done."Mortimer asked, "Do you still hate me?"Alec grinned, then fixed his eyes on Mortimer. "Don't you deserve it?"M
In his office, Alec took out his mobile phone and called Natalia."Hello, my dear boyfriend. What can I do for you?" In the middle of a manicure session, Natalia was surprised to receive Alec's call since it was the first one since they made their relationship public.Hearing her call him her boyfriend, Alec wasn't pleased, but he didn't make a big deal out of it. Going straight to the point, he said, "I am going to issue a statement to announce a breakup, and you are going to do the same."Since it was all just business, Alec informed her to make sure they were on the same page.Natalia was taken aback, "Break up? So soon?" They had only publicly announced their relationship two days ago. If they broke up so soon, her parents would be furious.Alec explained, "The issue on my end has been resolved."Frustrated, she asked, "Am I merely a tool to you? You're so ruthless."Alec was displeased. "What do you mean? Didn't we discuss this before?"Natalia clarified, "I didn't know y
When Jenny met Stephanie's parents, both of them had unpleasant expressions on their faces, and it was obvious they never expected that Stephanie was the root of their problems. What surprised them more was that their daughter had taken the initiative to go to her aggressor for their family's sake. Upon knowing that, they were angry and distressed.Stephanie's father, Charles, thanked Jenny for informing them about the situation. "Jenny, thank you for telling us. Otherwise, we would have thought that we somehow miraculously solved all the problems that came out of nowhere," he said with a wry smile.Jenny shook her head. "Let's not talk about that for now. We need to find a way to get Stephanie away from Paul."Charles was torn between his anger toward Paul and his concern for Stephanie's safety. He knew rescuing Stephanie could ruin the Walkers' business, but his daughter's safety was his priority."Jenny, please bring Stephanie to us. We'll take her away. At worst, we'll leave
Natalia was a little embarrassed. She could feel Jenny's hostility, but she understood. After all, she was still Alec's girlfriend in name."I just came to see you," Natalia said with a dry smile. She didn't know why she was there; the whole situation felt absurd.Annoyed, Jenny walked over to open the door. Looking back at Natalia, she said, "Come in and talk." Although she didn't like Natalia much, she hadn't done anything to her. Besides, it wasn't nice to make her talk to her at the door.Natalia didn't refuse and followed Jenny into the house. Seeing Natalia enter, Jenny tried to intimidate her by saying, "You really came in. Aren't you afraid that I'll hurt you?"Natalia was stunned. She hadn't thought about that. Both Jenny and she were girls; she assumed that Jenny wouldn't be a threat.Seeing how unassuming she was, Jenny wondered what Alec liked about her. Was it her identity or status? Jenny pitied Natalia a little. She walked over and poured Natalia a glass of water.
