Jenny repeatedly declined, causing Randy to become visibly upset despite his earlier good temperament."In Bardoff City, it's not wise to isolate yourself," he said, his tone now lacking the earlier hospitality.As the wolf had shed its sheep clothing, Jenny was finally willing to look at him. "So, tell me, what will you do if I insist on being alone?" she asked with interest, wanting to see how Randy would respond.Randy's face froze, aware that he could not treat Jenny poorly, especially since they were at an event. Even if they weren't, she was the eldest daughter of the Walters.He faked a cough to ease the tension. "Wow, you sound so serious. I was only kindly reminding you, with no ulterior motives," he said.Jenny chuckled lightly. "Oh? I thought you were warning me just now," she said with a little disdain. She knew that the other guests did not like her and did not know how to interact with her, but they didn't dare to express their feelings outright because of her positi
Alec turned his head to look at Christopher when he heard his voice, frowning in confusion. "What are you trying to say?"With a small smile, Christopher continued watching Jenny. "You and I are no longer good enough for Jenny. Are you still not going to give up?"Alec didn't understand why Christopher was saying that to him. "Why does it matter to me whether I'm worthy or not? Why are you saying these things to me?"To Alec, even though Jenny was the eldest daughter of the Walter family, she was still the one he liked. He didn't care whether he deserved her or not."It seems that you are really more determined than me," Christopher said with a sad smile. He had grown apprehensive about liking Jenny. Before she returned to the Walter family, Christopher felt that he was worthy of her.He sighed helplessly at the thought of his family background, which couldn't compare to the Ten Elites of Bardoff City. And he certainly couldn't compare to Alec, given how resolutely he loved Jenny.
Jenny walked onto the stage, where the spotlight followed her every move, and the only sound in the venue was the gentle tapping of her footsteps. Despite knowing about Jenny's divorce, the audience couldn't help but be mesmerized by her dazzling and confident presence.Jolene, on the other hand, seethed with anger, wondering why someone from the countryside could exude such arrogance. She believed that she was the true daughter of the Walter family. However, she restrained herself, knowing she would have the last laugh when Jenny failed to play the piano.Jenny walked onto the stage and sat in front of the piano, but she didn't start to play.Jolene's eyes lit up, gleefully reveling in the fact that she couldn't play the piano. There was no way Jenny had access to a piano since she grew up in the countryside. As Jenny sat in front of the piano without moving, Jolene signaled to her peers, who deliberately taunted Jenny, asking, "Miss Walter, why don't you play? Could it be that y
Jolene was convinced that Jenny had done it on purpose. She knew everything but pretended to be clueless so that Jolene would let her guard down. Jolene suspected that Jenny had planned to embarrass her for a long time and had been waiting for her there. The more Jolene thought about it, the more frightened she became of Jenny. As if she had seen a ghost, Jolene stumbled back a few steps, saying, "You...you did it on purpose."Jenny was confused.Jolene continued, "Aren't you happy now? Everyone knows that you're great. You've been recognized by everyone, and I've become a joke. You must be very proud of yourself." Jolene began to tear up as she failed to control her emotions.Seeing that, Jenny stepped forward, took her into her arms, and whispered in her ear. "Think about where you are right now. Don't embarrass yourself here."She couldn't care less about Jolene, but she was still a daughter of the Walter family. For the sake of the Walters, she couldn't allow Jolene to make a
"Don't think too much of yourself. I didn't expose you simply because I didn't take your scheming seriously. As for making you accept me?" Jenny smiled mockingly at Jolene. "Why would it matter to me whether you accept me or not? Do you really think you're that important?""Jenny!" Jolene nearly roared at her. She would have hit Jenny if she wasn't worried about the people watching. "I warned you not to mess with me, but you obviously didn't take my words to heart." Jenny slowly approached her, giving off an ominous vibe.Although Jolene was a little scared, she bit the bullet and stared back at her. "In that case, don't blame me for being rude," Jolene threatened. What Jolene cared about most was her father's favor, and Jenny was about to take away what she cared about most.As the two were talking, someone approached them. Jenny composed herself before turning to the person. "James?" she called, a little surprised."Jenny." James Windsor smiled, looking at Jenny affectionatel
The two were talking and didn't notice that Jolene was still there. Jolene couldn't believe it. Jenny, who came from the countryside, knew James? And why did they seem so close?Jolene suddenly realized she didn't know a thing about Jenny, which scared her. "Do you know Mr. Windsor, sister?" Jolene approached them with a smile. Although both families were from the top ten families in Bardoff City, the Windsor family was considered more prominent, and Jolene saw them as a good choice for in-laws. However, James had always been indifferent toward her, ignoring her whenever they met at dinner parties. Only Brandon would follow her around.Jenny nodded and smiled. "Yes.""What a coincidence! Mr. Windsor and I know each other too," Jolene said, but her eyes were fixed on James.Hearing that, James frowned and turned to look at Jolene.Jolene Walter. He knew the name but was familiar with her. He continued talking to Jenny, "The party is almost over. Shall I take you back?"Jenny h
In James's car, the atmosphere was pleasant as the two chatted about various things, catching up with each other. At the thought of their mentor, Jenny missed him. "I wonder where he has gone.""I have no idea," James answered. "The old man never contacts me. I thought you would know." Despite Jenny being Mr. Birkett's secret student, she received more love and affection from Mr. Birkett, which made James jealous of her.Jenny smiled wryly. "I haven't been able to contact him for a long time.""Don't worry. He has spent many years like this. He knows what he's doing." James knew what she was worried about and tried to comfort her.Jenny nodded and asked, "James, when will you be free? Let me treat you to dinner."James had been very kind to her. When they were under Mr. Birkett's mentorship, James had always guided her, so Jenny wanted to thank him."Well, I'm free whenever you are," James said with a grin. There was no way he would forgo such a precious opportunity. Jenny
Looking at the bodyguards surrounding him, Alec frowned. "What are you trying to do?""What am I trying to do?" Jolene asked with a chuckle, finding him rather interesting.Raising her chin, she walked up to him. "Weren't you acting all high and mighty? Didn't you say you were going to intervene? I thought you were so powerful."Before investigating his background, she thought he was a son who hailed from a powerful secret family. After all, she knew almost all the children of the Ten Elites of Bardoff City, and she had never seen him. However, after her investigation, she burst out laughing. Did Alec think that he was all that just because he had some influence in Parrington? How dare he behave so arrogantly and brashly in a place like Bardoff City where important figures hid in plain sight."Kneel down and apologize to me!" Jolene decided she would have to experience that satisfaction no matter what. After all, Alec was Jenny's ex-husband. If he knelt and apologized, it would fee
