Jenny could tell from Alec's tone that he was green with envy. But why? He shouldn't care about her if he was into Quinn Blue. She glanced at him and, considering that he had helped her, said, "I only know that he's not on good terms with his parents."He wanted to say something but held his tongue when he saw the look in her eyes.The night ended with the group of men sent to Christopher's office without any further explanation; the plan was to have him figure it out himself.However, Christopher quickly called Jenny and was instantly up to speed. "Don't worry. I'll answer to you, and I promise I won't let this slip." He clutched his phone with one hand while holding a pen in another, almost bending the pen out of anger. Not only did Ben and Evelyn hinder him, but they also added to his troubles. Life must have been too easy for them.Jenny trusted him and didn't bring up the matter after the call. Still, she could not shake off the thought of that female attacker. She believed th
They arrived at Centenary Hall. Jenny followed behind Alec, and he pulled his keys out to unlock the doors."Come in," he said, turning back to look at her as he turned the lights on.Jenny hesitated for a while before finally stepping in. She pulled her suitcase with her and sat on the sofa, staring at Alec. She was evidently waiting for him to explain his relationship with Quinn.Alec sighed. He knew what she was thinking. He helped her place her suitcase in her room and took out a first-aid kit. "Don't move. I'm going to treat your wounds."Jenny pursed her lips. Alec knew what she was waiting for, yet he refused to tell her. How despicable.The wound was treated quickly. Just when Jenny wondered what he was going to do next, Alec sat next to her."Quinn and I were classmates in college," Alec said, reminiscing his past.Jenny felt upset seeing him like this but let him go on."She and I were close. We spent a lot of time together, too, so the feelings developed naturally."
If Alec had talked to her about it beforehand, she might have agreed to play along and pretend to break up with him. But he had made his decisions and kept her in the dark, not caring if she'd be hurt. She wouldn't forgive him for this.Alec was disappointed. "Alright. I was wrong. It's a given that you'd punish me.""It's late. I need to get some rest." Jenny got up and went to her room. She didn't want to talk to Alec anymore. She'd already learned what there was to learn. It didn't matter if it was the truth. It was all that Alec could tell her.Alec sat on the sofa, watching Jenny close the door. He sighed helplessly after a while, then went to bed.Meanwhile, in Fausts' Old Mansion in Parrington, Mortimer was spending his days aimlessly after Alec removed him from his head director position. There was nothing in his heart but hatred.Old Mr. Faust didn't like seeing Mortimer like that. He said, "If you'd like to have something to do, I'll get Alec to let you manage one of the
Jenny was almost done with what she had to do in Bardoff City. She wasn't planning on staying. Harvey Spade was still in a coma, and she couldn't wait for him forever. Once she was done checking up on him, she told Christopher about her heading back to Parrington."That quick?" Christopher was surprised. He was planning on taking Jenny around town.She nodded. "I'm almost done with my business here. I should head home.""I'm sorry. I wasted your time." Christopher couldn't help feeling guilty. He didn't think that something would happen to Harvey.Jenny waved her hands quickly. "No, blame me. If it weren't for me, Mr. Spade might still be alright."She felt even guiltier than Christopher. Thankfully, he didn't think that way. Otherwise, Jenny would become a villain in his eyes."I've already sent those people to the police station. Don't worry. I won't let you suffer for nothing," Christopher said.Jenny couldn't believe what she was hearing. Those were his parents. Did he reall
"Is your grandpa doing alright these days?" she asked, smiling sweetly.Alec thought her smile was making things weirder. He nodded. "He's fine. Do you want to see him?""Yes. I want to ask him something." But Jenny didn't tell him what it was. Alec knew nothing, so she felt that it was unnecessary.Alec didn't ask, either. "Should I accompany you to the Old Mansion once we landed?""Let's give it a few days." Jenny had a lot of things waiting for her in Parrington. She had to tell the Walkers about the place she had picked out for them and see if Stephanie's parents had anything to say about it. And since she was going back, she'd have to go to work. Morgan said that a lot of people were waiting for her to perform surgeries on them. She'd be busy for quite a few days before being able to catch her breath.Alec didn't force her to do anything. "Alright. Call me when you want to see him. I'm good with anything.""Thank you." Jenny could also go and see him by herself, but since sh
Julie turned, looking at the person who had spoken. "That's right. I'm fucking crazy."She'd had enough of this world, but dying all by herself would be lonely. She had to drag everyone down to their graves along with her."Sit the fuck down!" she roared, pointing her gun at people.The flight attendants were all startled. They ran to the rest area, terrified of being shot. It was then that Julie noticed Jenny. She frowned. "Who are you?""I…I came looking for coffee." Jenny smiled awkwardly. She could never have imagined a moment like this.It would be easy to tackle this woman, and obtaining her gun would be no problem, but Jenny didn't spring into action immediately. She wasn't sure about the situation in the cockpit, and she didn't know if this woman had accomplices.Julie frowned. "Get the fuck out and sit down!""Okay," Jenny replied. She returned to her seat, looking obedient, but she was already devising a plan. First, she had to find out what the cockpit was like. Howev
Alec thought what Jenny said made sense, so he sat and waited, not in a hurry to handle them.The two of them began arguing. Julie looked antsy. "Didn't we agree on making them all die with us? Why are you going back on your words?" she asked, her eyes reddened. She was about to point her gun at him.The man was just as Jenny expected. He was the plane's pilot-in-training and was called Brett Samson.Brett was exasperated seeing her so agitated. He said, "I don't mean to go back on my words. I said I would die with you, and I will. But I have a family. I need to leave them some money before I die."Julie was quiet. Brett continued, "I swear, once I get my money, I'll steer the plane toward Mount Enderest and crash it. They will all die together with us."Julie looked at him and finally decided to believe him. She had no choice.Brett was satisfied and said, "Keep watch. Tell them that we won't harm them as long as the Parrington government gives us the money."That was just to f
Jenny was worried. They'd be easily spotted if they rushed in like this. He had a gun, too. If anything happened…She pulled at Alec. "Don't go in. Find a way to lure him out."Alec thought for a while and thought it made sense. They would be able to ambush him at the entrance, and it'd be safer.The decision was made. Jenny made a sound, and Brett's attention was caught easily. "Julie?"No one answered. He began to get worried and walked out with his gun.Alec and Jenny were hiding on either side of the cockpit door. The moment Brett appeared at the entrance, Alec threw himself at him and knocked him to the floor.There was a loud bang. Everyone turned pale."Alec!" Jenny screamed.Alec waved his hand. "I'm fine."The bullet had hit the floor, not him. Brett was quickly tied up, but his bullet was causing a problem. The plane was shot, and since it was on autopilot mode, it began to fall."I'll look at the pilot." Jenny walked toward the cockpit. If the pilots were just knoc
