Since he had worded it this way, Jenny felt the need to clear things up.She looked at him and said calmly, "I think that someone like you, Mr. Pearson, does not need me to be your friend."She was still calling him Mr. Pearson. It was obvious that she was distancing herself from him.Max's face shifted. Before he could speak, Jenny continued, "I don't want to be involved with your grudge against Mr. Faust. So once this meal is over, we'll call it even."In other words, she didn't want to see him anymore.Max knew what she meant. He looked extremely unpleasant. "Are you sure? Upsetting me in Parrington is not a good decision to make.""Now you're taking it the wrong way. I don't want to upset you. I just don't want to be used like a chess piece," she said, smiling. "Mr. Faust and I aren't close at all. I don't understand the hatred between you two. So why are you dragging me into it?" She couldn't figure it out at all.Max stared at her. She didn't look like she was lying.Afte

Alec laid back on his seat in the car. He narrowed his eyes. A cold chill emanated from him. He was obviously upset.Paul glanced at him, thinking aloud, "Dr. Walter seems pretty capable."She had not only attracted Alec's gaze but also lured in the smiley Max Pearson. She probably had a few tricks up her sleeve.Alec scoffed. He widened his eyes. His black irises showed no depth. "That's stupidity. I told her that Max doesn't have good intentions, but she still insists on keeping in touch with him.""How do you know that it's stupidity? What if he's her type?" Paul asked. It made Alec even more frustrated.She told him just today that she didn't like people named Faust. After that, she grew closer to Max. Did she like people named after pears, then?"Who knows, something might even happen between them tonight. You know of Max's nature. He's more than happy to replace you," Paul said, then he shivered. He looked at the person next to him. Alec was no different than an ice sculptu

Max dropped Jenny off in front of Perry Residence. Jokingly, he asked, "Aren't you going to let me in?""Probably not," she refused. "It's late. You should get some rest, Mr. Pearson.""Max," he reminded her."Max." She didn't argue. She didn't care what she called him. It didn't matter, anyway.Max nodded in satisfaction and opened his door. "Go home, then. You should rest, too."Jenny got out quickly and walked into the condominium, disappearing from his sight.Max was in no hurry to leave, leaning against his car and lighting a cigarette. He raised his wrist to look at the time and smirked. "He's probably coming soon."Right as he said that, a car sped over. It was the same black car that he had seen before.His smirk grew wider. "He's fast."The car stopped in front of him. Alec stepped out with a dark look on his face. "Are you done?""What do you mean, Mr. Faust? I don't understand," Max said. He looked extremely punchable to Alec."Is that so?" Alec smiled. "It seems

"I don't like people named Faust. What if I like people named Pearson? What does that have to do with you?" Jenny was incensed now. What right did Alec have to interrogate her?"Jenny Walter!" Alec gnashed his teeth.Jenny looked up, staring him in the eye. She said clearly, "I don't like people named Faust, especially Alec Faust!"At her words, Alec grabbed her chin. "Say that again!""I don't like…" her words were muffled. Before she could say more, Alec's lips stopped her. A scorching heat passed between them, and her mind blanked out.She glared at the man before her, forgetting to push him away for a moment.The sharp sound of a slap resounded in the room. She came to her senses and slapped him across the face. She was furious. "Alec Faust, you bastard!"Alec held his cheek. His face soured. "You're the first person to hit me.""So what?" If not for the law, she would have loved to kill him.He gnashed his teeth and nodded. "Fine. Now I know that you can't handle my anger

He suddenly remembered the last time he went to the Old Mansion. When Warren said someone had come, Alec assumed it was Faye. Now it seemed… that it was Jenny.In a flash, he thought of what Jenny had said about not liking people named Faust, that her ex-husband was named Faust, and that he had never once seen her in two years.He hadn't understood what Stephanie had said before, but now he did.The signs were all there. He had just never thought to think of things from that perspective.He hadn't noticed the call had ended. And he didn't know how he had managed to walk to Jenny's door.He raised his arm, prepared to knock, but he simply couldn't find the courage.…The next day, Jenny prepared to leave for work.She lowered her head and noticed the ash at the foot of the door. She remarked, "Which ignorant fool was this, scattering smoke ash at my door."Alec opened his door and froze. It was only when Jenny walked into the elevator that he rushed in, taking the same elevator

Scared but composed, Vincent entered the CEO's office with Alec."Any results on the whereabouts of my ex-wife?" Alec stared at Vincent and asked in a flat tone. For Vincent, Alec's calmness was much more terrifying. He wondered what had happened to his CEO. Alec had rarely asked about his ex-wife in the past, but he started taking an interest in her after the divorce.Vincent shook his head and stammered, "N-No."As expected, Alec's brooding eyes darkened after hearing that. He asked, "What's her name?""Jenny Walter," Vincent answered and heard Alec take a deep breath, as if he was holding back."And you've never met her?" Alec pressed on.Vincent shook his head again and explained, "She had never dropped by at work. And you had never been to the Faust Mansion. It's not surprising that I've never met her."When Jenny needed something, she would communicate with the butler, Warren, from the Old Mansion. She had no reason to talk to Vincent at all.Out of the blue, Alec grabbed

Faye clearly understood his reasons, but she wanted to bring up the topic of the fines anyway. However, he shut her down by saying, "Thankfully, he only got slapped with a fine. As long as he returns the amount he owes and gets his financial house in order, he won't go to jail."She bit her lips and mumbled slowly, "But the fines are hefty. My dad… can't pay the fines."He frowned at her admission and shot her a glance. "It's just a few hundred million. How could Lawrence Solutions not afford that?""My dad…""Faye, you're an adult. Have a mind of your own, and don't listen to everything your dad claims," he cut her off in displeasure, which gave her the jitters. That was the first time he had spoken to her harshly in many years."I got it, Alec. I'll keep out of this and leave it to my dad." She knew that the more she asked for Alec's help, the more he would dislike her. To her, Alec was more important than her parents or Lawrence Solutions.However, she was reminded of the conve

Jenny looked up, and they locked eyes. Perhaps it was an illusion, but she had the impression that Alec was looking at her differently this time."This is my treat," he offered. She chuckled and rested her chin on the back of her hand. "I can afford lunch. You don't have to do this."She had a dislike, or one might even say hatred, for Alec. Having lunch with him would only ruin her appetite."Dr. Walter, let's talk." Finally, he gave in. She was amused by his suggestion, for she thought there was nothing to be discussed between them."Let's put the past behind us and get to know each other again. What do you think?" he asked anxiously. Jenny laughed at the idea and shook her head under his intent gaze. "No.""Why not? Sure, I might have upset you in the Walker incident. How about I work with them again? Is that okay?"She shook her head again and leaned against the chair, as though she was enjoying a drama. He almost lost his temper, but he controlled himself out of guilt for hi

That afternoon, Gilbert called off his engagement to the Silveras. He did not pick up a single one of Lottie's calls. When he found Marigold, she was taking Caleb on a stroll around the neighborhood. It had been a while since she'd taken notice of anything related to Gilbert. She suddenly felt how nice it was to have her mental energy spent somewhere else, no longer being so hung up on that man. However, when Gilbert appeared before her, her heartbeat quickened. "Why are you here?" Marigold said, snapping out of her reverie. Gilbert smiled lightly. Without saying much else, he pulled her into an embrace. "Didn't you say that I could come to see you once everything is settled?" Marigold was stunned. She was in disbelief. "So, what you're saying is it's all over?" "Didn't you read the news?" Gilbert was speechless. "No. I didn't want to care." Every time she saw anything about Gilbert and Lottie, she felt miserable. She'd rather save herself the pain and block out anything
To Be Yours Again Chapter 1400 Gilbert and Marigold (75)
In the end, Esther went with Gilbert's suggestion. However, she did not trade Bradshaw Operation's projects with Jenny. She went with the Silveras. For one, she did not trust the Walters. On the other hand, the Silveras and the Bradshaws were going to be united through marriage. They deserved to be trusted more. Gilbert didn't mind. After all, if anything happened to the Bradshaws, the Silveras would not help. With those projects in hand, they would only fall further into debt. The plan was going smoothly. Gilbert had not gone to see Marigold once. He knew that before subduing the Bradshaws, going to visit Marigold would only endanger her. After all, Marigold was safe. Nothing had happened, and Caleb was growing up healthily. One month later, things began to feel off in Bradshaw Operations. After Faust Group received their money, they did not start the project. No one knew what they were doing. Esther was feeling antsy. She prodded Gilbert to ask if there was anything wro
To Be Yours Again Chapter 1399 Gilbert and Marigold (74)
That very afternoon, Esther and Gilbert rushed to Faust Group to sign the deal. Gilbert said he was worried that Alec would change his mind, so he urged Esther to sign it. Only through a written contract would they be able to relax. Esther thought it made sense and agreed to rush to Faust Group with Gilbert.In the meeting room, Alec looked at the two people before him, expressionless. "You have a good son, Mrs. Bradshaw." "I'm flattered. My son had Bradshaw Operations' interests at heart. He'll inevitably be a little insensitive. Please don't hold that against him, Mr. Faust." Esther smiled. She didn't mind Alec's sarcasm because it didn't matter. As long as Bradshaw Operations could truly benefit from this, she didn't care how much Alec mocked her. Alec smiled coldly and slid the contract over to her. "You may flip through it." Esther took it and read through it seriously.If this project succeeded, they would reap massive rewards. However, it required a massive upfront inv

In the following days, Gilbert headed over to Faust Group infrequently during the day. To others, he was there to talk business with Alec. But in reality, it was a different scenario altogether. Vincent brought Gilbert a cup of coffee in Alec's office. Because of all the times he'd been there, Vincent knew what he wanted without having to ask. Alec had a cup of coffee placed before him, too. Everyone thought that Gilbert was trying to convince Alec to give him one of the shares, which was why he always came there, but that was not the case. The collaboration was a set-up. As long as the Bradshaws signed the deal on the project, they would not escape unscathed. Gilbert had planned this for a long time just to trick the Bradshaws into accepting the project. However, the scheme had to be executed perfectly. Since Gilbert buttered up the project in front of the Bradshaws, Alec had to feign disinterest in his collaboration. Otherwise, it would seem suspicious if Alec, a smart ma
To Be Yours Again Chapter 1397 Gilbert and Marigold (72)
After the engagement party, Gilbert officially had a stronghold in Bradshaw operations. Because he was already very capable, he had a lot of supporters. No one challenged him in the company. Most of them sucked up to him because they knew that if things went well, he would be the heir of the company.Gilbert didn't really care about that. He didn't even want to be there for long. He knocked on Esther's door and walked into her office."Come, sit." Esther was all smiles when she saw him. It was more sincere than before.She used to doubt him a lot, but now, although she still had her reservations, she mostly believed in him. In her eyes, no one would reject the chance to inherit Bradshaw Operations. This was basically manna from Heaven. Gilbert just didn't know it back then, and now he did. Gilbert sat down in front of Esther and began reporting the information he had gathered, as well as his thoughts on Bradshaw Operations and his plans for the future.When he presented the inf

Gilbert and Lottie's engagement party was held at Bardoff Grand Hotel on Saturday.A ton of people showed up to their engagement party. After all, the Bradshaws and the Silveras were pretty big names in Bardoff City, and plenty of the other families knew of their true wealth. They all came to attend the party. Jenny and Alec had both received invites. Jenny was Gilbert's sister, and on top of that, they represented the Walters and the Fausts. It was to be expected. At first, Jenny didn't want to go. The party held no meaning to it. It was just a show put on for Esther. It would be a complete waste of her time. However, she was talked into it by Alec. It would be weird if she didn't go. Zack brought Janet to the party. He found Jenny and was in a daze. "Wasn't Gilbert courting Marigold? Why is he engaged to Lottie?" Jenny rolled her eyes. "What have you been doing, Zack? You're really bad at keeping up." Gilbert had been courting Lottie for a while now. If Zack paid attention
To Be Yours Again Chapter 1395 Gilbert and Marigold (70)
Gilbert drove to Jenny's villa, but he was in no rush to get down. He didn't unlock the doors, either. He obviously wanted to talk to Marigold. But Marigold evidently didn't want to. "I want to take my child and leave." She was afraid. What if Gilbert and Lottie married and took her child away? She no longer believed in love. The only thing she believed in was her child. Gilbert tightened his grip when he heard that. "Marigold, the engagement is only for Esther to see. I have no feelings for Lottie." "Who knows? People change. You said you didn't have feelings for me, too." Marigold found this all very amusing. Perhaps this was fate. Gilbert wanted to keep explaining, but Marigold did not give him the chance to. "Just let me and Caleb leave. If what you say is true, you can come to find us once everything is over." And if Gilbert didn't come looking for her, the truth would unfold itself, and she would give up all hope. Gilbert understood that Marigold had already made

Marigold was miserable throughout dinner, but she persevered till the end without being too dramatic. After dinner, they walked to the entrance of the shopping mall.Gilbert went to get the car. Lottie stood with Jenny and Marigold. Watching Gilbert leave, she turned toward Marigold. "I heard that you used to like Gilbert very much." "It's all in the past. It's not worth mentioning." Marigold didn't want to talk about it. She was afraid that Lottie would see that she still liked Gilbert. Most importantly, she was afraid that Gilbert's plan would be ruined. Lottie smiled. "That's true. The past is the past. You're such a nice person. You'll definitely be able to find someone better suited for you in the future." Marigold pursed her lips. Gilbert soon brought the car over. Lottie was about to get into the car, but before she did, she suddenly turned to Marigold and said, "Gilbert and my engagement party will be in a few days' time. If you have the time, you're more than welcom
To Be Yours Again Chapter 1393 Gilbert and Marigold (68)
Everyone was shocked to hear her speak so suddenly. Lottie was stunned, and she explained, "You've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just think that if the child follows his father, it'll help him develop better, and you'll be less stressed." "I don't need your concern. I can raise my child alone," Marigold snorted. She did not hold back at all. Lottie looked unpleasant. Gilbert had no choice but to step in. "We'll have our own child together. And whoever likes it the most will get to keep it." Although they knew that Gilbert had meant this for Lottie to hear, Marigold found it extremely upsetting. She looked at Gilbert, and for a moment, she was unable to tell if he was being genuine. She thought of all that Gilbert had said to her last night, saying that he didn't like Lottie and had no intention of marrying her. But he looked to be truly in love. Marigold didn't think she could tell if he was faking it. "I'm sorry. I need to go to the restroom." Marigold didn't w
