James let out a relieved sigh after she agreed to have bodyguards. The men he hired were extraordinary, and they would protect her well.

"Are you hungry?" he asked. "I can get someone to buy food for you." It was surreal to him how they had agreed to meet at a restaurant, but things took a wild turn after that.

She nodded, feeling hungry. He asked someone to buy some food for her, and she put in an additional request for a phone charger as well. It was inconvenient to have a phone run out of battery, and she worried about her contacts who couldn't reach her.

Not long after, she got her food and phone charger delivered. She charged her phone before digging in. James stayed around, which was awkward for her. "James, why don't you go home and rest? It's pretty late."

"It's alright. I'll hang around until you're done eating." He had planned to spend the night by her bed, but he knew that Jenny would be puzzled or even shocked if he volunteered to do that.

Jenny didn't say another wor

    Despite wanting to stay, James left Jenny's room out of consideration of her injuries and recovery. After he left, she finally returned the missed calls on her phone. First on her list was Jade, followed by Graham. She informed them that her phone had died but did not bring up the topic of her injuries. She hid the truth from Jade because Jade would be worried, and she didn't tell Graham because nothing would come out of it.At this moment, she had no evidence pointing to Rowena and Jolene. If she blindly accused the two in front of Graham, he might think she was up to no good just to bring them down.She needed sufficient evidence to show Graham the true face of Rowena and Jolene, for she wanted him to deal with them with his own hands. That was the main reason she refused James' help. Only by showing Graham the true colors of his wife and daughter would he be disappointed in them.After responding to all the missed calls, she finally got to Alec. She was kept waiting for a long ti

    Alec was dumbfounded after hearing what Jenny had to say. He zoomed into the photo and realized that Jenny was indeed unconscious. Upon closer look, he saw traces of blood stains on her body."Something happened to her," he thought as he was riddled with guilt for interrogating her about James instead of noticing her injuries. Even after Jenny had chided him, he still felt horrible about his behavior."What am I doing? How could I have missed that obvious fact?" he silently scolded himself."I'm sorry," he blurted out after a pause, not because he was reluctant to apologize. He hesitated because he knew the apology could not compensate for the hurt he had inflicted on Jenny.Just as he expected, Jenny was calm and composed when she heard the apology, and she even thought he was hilarious. Laughing, she said to him, "I'm sorry doesn't always work, you know.""I know." He couldn't think of a better way to express his regrets anyway. "Are you…okay?" He wanted to ask her about the inc

    During her few days' stay at the hospital, Graham called her a few times, mostly asking her why she didn't come home. She made up some excuse, and he didn't press further."I plan to go to Parrington tomorrow. Do you have time to come with me?" she asked. She had wrapped up work at Bardoff City, and it was time to get to the matters awaiting her attention in Parrington.Graham paused while he checked his schedule with his assistant. Soon, he answered, "Sure, but I can't stay for long. There's a lot of work in the company.""Okay. It won't be a long trip—probably three to four days," she assured him. Once they agreed on the trip, he went ahead and arranged for a private jet. Traveling in a private jet was a necessity for a man in his position, who had to be careful in each step he took. It was all for safety.When Jenny returned to Walter Castle, she ran into Rowena and Jolene, who wore guilty expressions on their faces. Despite their good acting, Jenny could instantly tell that the

    Jenny did not retort. Instead, she smiled at Rowena. "You're right. Rowena, you should be more careful. Don't get caught red-handed."Rowena smiled at her without saying a word. Not only would she proceed with more caution, but she'd also send more men after Jenny the next time so that she couldn't escape. However, she was unsure about the timing of her next opportunity.Jenny refused to waste time on them. "Dad and I will head back to Parrington tomorrow. Rowena, do help with the packing." The intention behind the reminder was less of packing the luggage and more of provoking her. The fact that Graham had agreed to visit Parrington proved that Jenny was important to him, which was Rowena's greatest fear.As predicted, Rowena's expression fell when she heard the news. "Why is he going to Parrington? Don't you know that he's busy? Jenny, you need to grow up and stop giving him trouble.""I don't want to trouble him, but he insisted on going with me." Jenny beamed smugly and cheerful

    Finally, Jenny let go of Jolene, but it wasn't because she trusted her words. She had heard the noise of a car from the door and guessed that Graham was home.When he stepped foot in the living room, he instantly noticed something was wrong. He scanned the three faces, his gaze settling on Jenny's. "What happened?"She shook her head at him with a smile. "Nothing."The fight just now was nothing to Jenny, but Jolene felt differently about it. She stood up and ran over to Graham as she planned to reveal everything that Jenny had done to her. She needed to show Graham Jenny's merciless nature.However, Rowena held her daughter back and shook her head. "Nothing happened. We were chatting with Jenny, and she mentioned that you'd go to Parrington with her tomorrow."Graham frowned as he knew something must have happened among the three women. Since Jenny assured him everything was fine and Rowena was tight-lipped about it, he didn't press further. Jolene didn't look like she was picked

    "When can I fully recover?" That was Alec's main concern because he wanted to meet with Jenny. Blake probably read his mind and sat across from him with a smile. "The first thing you need to do is to learn self-control. You mentioned that you couldn't stop yourself from wanting to keep Jenny by your side and that you couldn't stand the sight of men around her. These are symptoms of a mental health disorder. Your mental health issue did not surface over a few days. They are the culmination of poor mental health over the years. A fast recovery is rather impossible."Alec frowned upon hearing her professional opinion. He knew his condition was severe, but he wanted the answer to another pressing question. "Based on what you said just now, I can't meet Jenny before I fully recover. Is that right?" He would rather give up on the treatment if that were the case. The reason he attended therapy in the first place was so that he could be with Jenny. If he was forced to give up on meeting her

    Alec had wanted to say more, but the passion in his heart quickly dissipated upon hearing how cold Jenny was to him. Still, he didn't hang up immediately. "How have you been?" he asked."Don't you think it's too late to ask me that, Alec?" Jenny huffed. Alec's behavior confused her. It had been days without hearing from him.Alec knew he was at fault. He had planned to meet with Jenny that day after their call. He never expected Dr. Watkins to tell him not to see her, for him to learn to control himself. Which was why he never went to her. But that didn't mean he didn't care about her. He had still gone to the hospital to check on her, only leaving after seeing that she was okay.On the other end of the call, Jenny was getting even more upset now that he had gone silent. "What? Cat got your tongue? When did you learn how to keep your mouth shut?""I'm sorry," Alec said solemnly. "I've been preoccupied with some business. That's why I didn't come to see you.""Oh."

    Neither Jenny nor Alec spoke a word during the ride, and the atmosphere around them remain as tense as a tightrope."When are you going back to Parrington?" Alec finally asked, breaking the ice."Tomorrow."Alec nodded, saying nothing else."What about you? When will you go back?"Alec gave it some thought. He was nearly done with his business here in Bardoff City. He could always visit Dr. Watkins to continue their sessions whenever he was free. "Tomorrow, with you," he replied.Jenny was surprised. Wasn't Alec busy dealing with the Glasses right now? "Are you sure? What about the Glasses…"Hearing that she was concerned about him made him feel much better. "I can handle them. It's not like they can do anything to stop me from going back to Parrington."In truth, the Glasses weren't seriously concerned by Alec's presence. Even their power plays were done just to scare Alec into stopping his plans. They never expected him to face it head-on, though."Oh…I'm leaving with Graham

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
