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
"What are you doing? Let go of my daughter!" Rowena rushed out with a group of bodyguards after receiving Jolene's call.She had rushed, thinking all she needed to do was to help her daughter teach someone a lesson. She didn't care whose fault it was and wanted to support her daughter immediately. However, she was shocked to see her daughter in Alec's hands, her face flushed from lack of air."Mom..." Jolene managed to say, tears streaming down her face.Rowena was angry and anxious, "Sir, let my daughter go. I'll give you whatever you want."Alec was indifferent. "I just want her life."Rowena tried to intimidate him by saying. "Do you know who she is? She is the daughter of the Walter family. If you attack the Walters, you won't leave here alive."Jolene was losing consciousness and waved her hands frantically, but Alec was unmoved. In fact, her mother's words only disgusted Alec.Rowena urgently instructed the bodyguard behind her, "Quickly, save her!"As the bodyguard was a
Alec loosened his grip on Jolene's neck and looked at Graham. "I'll show you some respect because you're Jenny's father." Holding back was Alec's show of respect to Graham, for he had vowed not to go easy on Jolene no matter who came to him.Graham did not need anyone's respect. Be it in tiny Parrington or Bardoff City, he was always the one to decide who deserved his respect. He had been unhappy with Jenny's marriage to Alec, and his dissatisfaction with Alec only increased after Alec divorced Jenny. Now, he had the guts to be impudent in front of him.When the bodyguards successfully took Jolene away, Graham finally spoke, "Alec, you can only be impudent if you are capable. Look around you and understand where you are right now. You shouldn't throw tantrums as you like," Expressionless, he addressed Alec in an icy tone.Alec raised an eyebrow without any fear. "Mr. Walter, from the sound of it, you will take action on me. Is that right?"He glanced at the number of bodyguards bes
