Jenny massaged her aching temples and went to the bathroom. She nearly jumped at her reflection. "I look like I got mugged," she mumbled, amused. She really did look awful.Her dreams were lost to her. All that she remembered was the fact that they were nightmares.After washing up, she put on makeup to hide her exhaustion and went downstairs. Graham was already having breakfast with Rowena and Jolene. They turned to look at her when she reached the first landing."Good morning. Come join us for breakfast," Graham offered.Jenny nodded and went over. Her hunger had tripled from the exhaustion and nightmares last night, so she began devouring her food like a starving beast.The sight made Jolene cringe internally."Hey, Jenny, why did you choose to go to the sales department? They have a minimum target to hit every month, don't they? Aren't you worried you won't make any sales? It's not like you know anyone in Bardoff yet." Before Jenny could answer, Jolene faked a shocked gasp. "
Jenny was somewhat disappointed when Jolene was restrained. She had been ready to fight back. After all, she needed to show Graham just how much of a bitch Jolene was.Sadly, Rowena was too sharp a woman.Still, what transpired was enough. Graham's face had already darkened."Dad, I—" Jolene tried to explain, but a stern look from her father silenced her. She looked down at her knees instead, staying quiet."Keep your daughter in check!" Graham barked at Rowena, then left the table and went outside, most likely heading for work.Meanwhile, Jenny happily beamed, eating her breakfast.When Graham left, Jolene glared at Jenny, her eyes now red and watery. Jenny ignored her, for she never did anything more than glare or fume. After breakfast, she left straight for the office, leaving mother and daughter in the dining room. Jolene whined to her mother, "Dad's too biased, Mom!"Rowena held dearly onto her child, feeling upset and disappointed. "Yes. I'm afraid he only loves that w
To her shock, not even Old Mr. Faust picked up the call immediately. It took a while before the call finally came through, much to Jenny's agitation."Grandpa—""Miss Jenny," Warren, the family butler, answered. Jenny blinked in surprise. "Where's Grandpa? I need to talk to him about something important.""He has gone out on some errands. I can help you leave a message." Warren's tone was light, completely unreflective of his serious expression.Jenny decided to reveal what was on her mind. "It's about Alec. He isn't answering his calls, and he isn't at his office either. I just wanted to know if he's at the Old Mansion?""Mr. Alec has gone out along with Mr. Faust. I believe he forgot to bring his phone, hence not answering his calls," Warren replied without a moment's hesitation.Jenny knew and trusted the butler, so his words were enough to make her relax. "That's all I needed to hear. Thank you. Tell Grandpa I said hi."She then hung up the call and started her work at the
Jenny was preparing to meet her clients after having familiarized herself with the documents from yesterday. She wasn't about to let Jolene make fun of her.She notified her client's secretary and left for their office. She was brought to the lounge to wait. Soon, Jenny's client walked in. Beside him was Brandon Britt."Miss Walter," Hunter Meyers, Jenny's client, greeted. He still had to maintain a degree of respect; Jenny was a Walter, after all.Jenny nodded, ignoring Brandon entirely. "Good morning, Mr. Meyers.""Sit, sit." Hunter gestured at the sofa behind her, sitting down himself.Jenny sat down, clearing her throat and ready to present her proposal. Brandon then cut in, "Miss Walter is gracing us with her presence today because of the South City project, am I right?""You have keen ears, Mr. Britt," Jenny nodded. She was here because of that project and it alone. Hunter's company had been awarded the project and had been looking for a joint venture partner, so Jenny wa
Brandon was beaming from their proximity, Jenny's stuck-up impression slowly declining in his mind. He circled an arm around her shoulders. "What do you think?" He gently slid a finger down her arm as he spoke, grin turning lecherous.The next second, Jenny twisted his arm and pressed him down on the sofa. "Ow, fuck!" Brandon yelped."What the hell do you think you're doing, Britt?" Jenny snarled."Don't test my patience, Jenny Walter," Brandon huffed, embarrassed from being easily manhandled. "I can step out of this venture as long as you sleep with me once."Jenny laughed and let him go, sitting on the seat across from him. "I thought you liked Jolene?""That has nothing to do with me wanting to sleep with you." Jolene would only be happier if he did."I can help you marry her, you know." Jenny didn't waste her time dragging things on any longer.Brandon gaped at her in shock. That was unexpected. "You can…help me marry Jolene?"He wasn't an idiot; he knew Jolene wasn't ser
Hunter glanced at both Brandon and Jenny. "She's an outstanding woman...what a pity," he thought. "You can always come to me for any business projects, Miss Walter. I'm sure I can give you just as much as Mr. Britt can," he said.He wouldn't have allowed Brandon to sleep with Jenny if he hadn't already signed the agreement with him. Jenny immediately knew what he was implying. She shot him a cold stare. "I'm afraid it's not what you think, Mr. Meyers. Nothing of the sort happened between Mr. Britt and me." Before she left the lounge, she even warned, "I hope no word of such rubbish spreads out to the public, Mr. Meyers. I won't hesitate to quell any accusations about me."Jenny didn't mind such rumors, but she had the responsibility to silence them now that she was recognized as a daughter of the Walters.After she left, Hunter cursed, "Why the fuck is she still acting all high and mighty? She's the one spreading her legs just to get what she wants."Brandon shot him a look. He
Jenny returned to the company. Plenty of people were looking at her, curious to know if she had succeeded in securing the collaboration.Right as she sat down at her seat, Cherry Winter, who was sitting close by, scooted over. "Don't be upset, Jenny. Things don't usually work out the first time. Back when I first started, I didn't even get to meet the client."Although Cherry knew that Jenny had the Walters backing her up and that collaborating wouldn't be a problem, no one really knew what Mr. Walter was planning. What if word spread and no one had Jenny's back anymore?If that were the case, she would not have a high chance of securing the collaboration."Thanks," Jenny said. She knew that Cherry was comforting her. "But the contract has been signed."Now it was Cherry's turn to be surprised. "On the first try? That's amazing!"She had not been quiet with her words, and people looked over. "Did Jenny succeed?" they wondered.Some of them were jealous, but they thought it was e
To take down the Glass family, the Walters and the Windsors were enough. Alec wasn't necessary to the plan, but Jenny had personal reasons.Alec had only just arrived in Bardoff City. He was at a disadvantage in every area. If she let him in on their plan, they would be able to prove his abilities. Moreover, he'd benefit from it and be able to develop his company even faster.But then she thought for a bit and decided not to talk to James about the Glasses. They could talk about it when Alec came back. If they talked about it now, they would take action before Alec could come.She was about to speak, but then someone ran over. "James."Jenny raised her eyebrows. It was Jolene, and she wasn't calling him Mr. Windsor anymore. Anyone would think they were friends.Jolene was stringing Brandon along and hitting on James at the same time. That wasn't very nice of her.James looked at her and said nothing, but the dislike in his eyes was apparent. "Let's go, Jenny."Jenny nodded and w
