"I've found out about everything," Jenny said lightly. Through the phone, the tone of her voice didn't seem to carry any emotion.Gilbert wanted to ask what she knew. Right when he was about to, he suddenly thought of something, and he couldn't help but clench his phone a little harder. "About your background?""Yeah." She told Gilbert because she wanted to see if she could get some other information that she didn't know about from him.This time, it was Gilbert's turn to be silent. As he didn't say anything, it made Jenny a little perplexed. "Gilbert, tell me everything you know."After another round of silence, Gilbert sighed and replied a little helplessly, "I knew that once you found out you weren't Grandpa's biological granddaughter, you would definitely figure things out. I just didn't expect you to be so fast."He thought it would take a while for Jenny to learn the truth, but he didn't expect it to be that soon. He'd underestimated his sister."I just want to figure every
Jenny nodded, guessing that the people sitting in that row should all be excellent alumni. A few of them were even famous figures that Jenny had already known when she was still studying. It was just that she didn't care much back then, as she immersed herself in studying. Her relationship with her classmates was average at best. Now that she had come, there were only a few people whom she really knew."Hello, I'm Jenny Walter." She nodded politely, not meaning to continue the conversation with the other person.However, Derrick obviously didn't intend to stop there. Still seated next to Jenny, he said, "You're so young. You just graduated not long ago, right? You must be excellent to be invited back to the anniversary celebration as an outstanding graduate. So, what scientific research experience do you have? Which hospital are you working at?"Those seated there either had prolific scientific research experience or worked in top hospitals; in Derrick's case, he was the latter. He
What surprised everyone even more was that after the dean called upon Jenny, he got up and walked to her. He then said with a smile, "You've been the best student at our university for so many years. I've always been proud of you."Jenny was immensely surprised when by that. She hurriedly got up. "Dean Howard, you flatter me too much. Everyone here is equally excellent."Others were naturally dissatisfied when they heard the dean's words, but they couldn't lose their temper on such an occasion. They could only comment disparagingly, "Dean Howard, although Parrington Hospital is quite good. It's not exactly difficult to land a job there."If they wanted to work in Parrington Hospital, they could all get in quite easily. It definitely wasn't as difficult as entering Bardoff Hospital.Derrick was also unhappy. He worked in Bardoff Hospital, yet the dean didn't even bat an eyelash at him. "Don't say that. She probably graduated not too long ago. It's quite an achievement to get into a
After dinner was over, Jenny walked out of the restaurant and took a deep breath. she felt much more relaxed after taking in some fresh air. She was still uncomfortable with social settings like these. Burying her head in surgery or scientific research was more suitable for her.As she was thinking about that, Derrick walked to her side without her noticing. He seemed to have something to say to her but found it difficult to find the words. "Miss Walter."Jenny graduated earlier than him, so she was his senior. He felt awkward about that fact.On the other hand, Jenny wasn't bothered about things like that. She turned to look at him. "What do you need?""Nothing, really." Derrick smiled awkwardly, not daring to look into Jenny's eyes. "I haven't come to Parrington for several years, and I feel that this place has changed a lot. I'm no longer familiar with this city."Jenny thought to herself, "So?""Do you have time tomorrow? Can you show me around Parrington?" In the end, he end
Jenny chuckled and didn't take it seriously. "Who knows? I'm not interested in him anyway." She wasn't joking; she really wasn't interested in Derrick. Hence, she didn't care about what he was up to. It had nothing to do with her as far as she was concerned.Upon hearing Jenny's words, Alec inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief once more. It was good that she wasn't interested in him. He was dreading that Jenny might somehow be interested.Alec drove at a consistent speed. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Perry Residence. After Jenny got out of the car in the underground parking lot, she noticed that Alec was still inside and hadn't gotten out yet. She asked, "Do you have something else to do?""Yeah. There's still some work at the company," Alec replied."Since you had something to do, you didn't have to come and pick me up. It was troublesome for you to make that extra trip." Jenny felt a little guilty. She thought Alec had come to pick her up after finishing his work.A
The woman pouted and said helplessly, "I don't want to do things for others. I feel uncomfortable at being ordered around. But there is no other way since I owe it to them. Fortunately, after killing you, all of my debts with that person will be written off." A debt of gratitude was the most difficult to repay, and she could finally pay it off after many years. Owing to that, she wouldn't let Jenny off this time.Jenny was speechless. "Well, good for you. You can pay back your debt. But you're paying for it with my life!" Jenny cursed internally.The woman wasn't interested in chatting with Jenny anymore. She sighed, "Don't waste my time. Let's just go somewhere deserted and fight. You can go if you win, but if you lose…your life is mine.""Fine." Jenny didn't refuse. She didn't want to fight the woman in the lobby of Perry Residence anyway.The two left the area and headed to the river behind it. Fewer people were there at night, so they wouldn't be discovered if they fought the
Jenny nodded, but she had no intention of making a move. It left the woman confused and unsure of what she was trying to do. The woman got into an attacking stance, but in the next second, she was stunned in place, unable to react."You..." The woman looked at Jenny, feeling speechless.Jenny shrugged nonchalantly and smiled at her. "I never said I was going to fight you myself."Right then, the woman found herself surrounded. Even if she wanted to, she stood little chance of escaping, let alone winning against Jenny."Aren't you being shameless? You don't have a shred of honor." She was irate and finally realized why Jenny was stalling. It turned out she had backup.To Jenny, however, it had nothing to do with honor. Since returning from Bardoff City, these people had followed her around, acting as her bodyguards. She didn't want to risk her life. Fortunately, she had made the right decision."It doesn't matter if it's honorable or not as long as one can win," Jenny replied with
The woman said nothing, but Alec paid no attention to her. Looking at his men, he instructed, "Take her to the dungeon and interrogate her well. Pry out everything she knows."He wasn't as kind as Jenny toward someone who wanted to take his life. Naturally, he had to deal with them accordingly. The woman was taken away, and Alec stood in place for a long time, his heart a little heavy.As Jenny got closer to uncovering the truth, the danger around her also increased. Alec wasn't sure how long he could protect her. If she returned to the Walters, would he still be of help? To be more exact, would he even qualify to help? It seemed to him now that he was still too weak.…A few days later, after Natalia returned from Bardoff City, she immediately came to look for Jenny. "Dr. Walter, I have contacted both Parrington Hospital and Bardoff Hospital. The two hospitals are now cooperative, and you can perform the surgery at Bardoff Hospital.""Good. You're quite efficient." Jenny couldn't he
