Jenny understood that reasoning. "Have you found out what happened to him? Has he appeared at Faust Group these two days?""No," Zack replied.Jenny was now certain that something had happened to Alec. But if something really did, why would Vincent and Old Mr. Faust lie to her? Were they afraid that she would leak it out?She had no time to think about that. Jenny ended her call with Zack and immediately went to book a plane ticket to Parrington. But it was already late; the next flight was in the morning. She was feeling very antsy.The next day, Jenny and Graham both took days off. Although she knew it wasn't nice of her to take the day off when she hadn't been working for some time, she was lucky that she was in the sales department and had just bagged another client. She had more freedom in that sense.Jenny boarded the plane to Parrington. On the way there, she had a dream.A nightmare, really.It haunted her even after she woke up.It was only a two-hour flight to Parring
Old Mr. Faust felt conflicted when he heard what she said.After their divorce, he worried that Alec and Jenny would go their separate ways. After that, he saw how Alec began to care for Jenny, and now, even Jenny was worrying about him. Old Mr. Faust couldn't help feeling a little glad. However, they had no idea if Alec was dead or alive. That was cruel news for Jenny to bear.Jenny was even more anxious when she saw how quiet he was. "What happened to Alec, Grandpa?"With her pressing questions, Old Mr. Faust finally broke down and told her what had happened.On the night that Jenny had called Alec, he hadn't picked up because he had no means to.That night, not long after leaving the Old Mansion, he realized he was being tailgated. His stalker was fierce and relentless, refusing to lose him. After that, Alec's car was found at the bottom of a cliff. No one knew what had happened between the two events.Old Mr. Faust had not received his call when it happened. Obviously, Alec w
"The wind is getting stronger, Miss Jenny. Let's go. There are people looking for him down there," Vincent said. He knew how important Jenny was to Alec, so he couldn't let anything happen to her, especially now. Or else, if Alec survived and returned to find that something had happened to Jenny, he could not imagine what would happen.Jenny had no intention of leaving. She turned toward him and said, "Vincent, could you help me get a waterproof suit?""Miss Jenny, are you…""I wouldn't be able to forget it unless I went down there myself." Even though many people were looking for him, Jenny still wanted to do it personally.What if they were slacking off? What if they missed a clue that Alec had left behind?Vincent wanted to stop her, but Paul appeared. "Get her ready. We have no reason to stop her if she wants to sacrifice herself for Alec.""Mr. Wagner…""What a pity she didn't treasure him when he was still around. Now she's putting on a show. I don't know what she means by
What Paul said made sense. Jenny understood him, but she had no idea what else she could do. She could only try.What if?What if Alec hadn't gone the predictable route and quietly snuck up on land?When Paul saw her keeping up the search, he cussed at her and left. But before going far, he turned back. "Is Stephanie…doing alright?"He'd lost all contact with her once she moved to Bardoff City. He initially planned to move there like Alec, but he had not expected this to happen."She's doing pretty well," Jenny answered. At least, Stephanie seemed fine to her.Disappointment flashed through Paul's eyes. He couldn't seem to accept that Stephanie could do well without him.When it came to Stephanie, Jenny didn't mind saying more to Paul. She stood up, looking at the silent man before her. "Aren't you going to give up?""Why would I give up? She's my woman and forever will be," Paul said naturally; he didn't think anything was wrong with his words.Jenny was speechless. She rolle
In the Faust Manor in Bardoff City, a middle-aged man looked at the bodyguard behind him. "Is it done?""Yes. The target is dead, and the ones remaining are not worth worrying over," the bodyguard replied.The man nodded in satisfaction. As long as the few influential ones were dead, the rest were mere jokes. Even if the old man spoonfed opportunities to them, they wouldn't be able to cope."Does that old man know?" he asked."Probably not.""Good. Get someone to leak the news to him. Crush his spirits. Make him give up on handing over the Fausts to these outsiders. Faust Inc is mine!"A ferocious look flashed over his face.…Jade was working hard in Jeneration Group. She knew that something had happened to Jenny, so she had to work extra hard to keep the company to not trouble Jenny."Miss Weston, someone is here for you." Her secretary knocked on the door and walked in."Who is it?""His name is Max Pearson, and he says he's your friend."Max.Jade's expression shifted.
Jade's words made Max incensed. He looked at her as if wanting to catch a glimpse of something different in her eyes.Unfortunately, he found nothing."Max, I'm honestly not suited for you. Your feelings for me are probably just a fleeting crush. As long as we see each other less, your feelings will vanish." Jade felt upset seeing him like that. Max was good to her and helped her out many times, but she couldn't get together with him for that reason alone. It was unfair to both of them.Her words didn't comfort Max in the slightest. On the contrary, it made him even angrier. "We've never even tried. How would you know that we wouldn't work? Do you think all guys are jerks just because you've met one?"Jade's face grew stiff. "I'm sorry."Max was furious but couldn't unleash his anger with Jade acting that way. "I hope you'll think about it. We can't live in the past forever. It's time you moved on." With that, Max left.Jade's eyebrows furrowed when she watched him leave. "Am I r
"You should go back to Bardoff City." Paul's voice sounded behind Jenny, and she turned back to look at him, surprised. "There's no point staying here," he said, making Jenny frown.She looked at him. "This is my business."She didn't think they were close enough for her to heed his suggestions."Idiot," Paul said. "Alec's been targeted for murder. It's obvious that he's wronged someone and that someone is not from Parrington."These past two days, he had gone over Parrington with a fine-toothed comb. It was definitely not someone from Parrington. The only other possibility was someone from Bardoff City."I don't know whose anger he invoked in Bardoff City. But you should know. I want you to investigate things clearly when you're back," Paul said. Jenny was about to speak, but he continued. "There's no sign of Alec here. That means he might not be dead. He might have been taken away. If you find them, you might be able to rescue him."It was not impossible. What if their motives
Jenny knew he had misunderstood, so she hurried to explain. "No, Grandpa. I'm not giving up on him." She then told him about Paul's suspicions. "I want to head back to Bardoff City to investigate. If Alec was really kidnapped, he might be waiting for us to save him right now."She wouldn't find any clues staying in Parrington, so she might as well head back to Bardoff City. She might found out something.Old Mr. Faust knew he had misunderstood her. "That makes sense. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.""It's alright, Grandpa." Jenny smiled. She didn't mind. "I will definitely find Alec, so you must take care of yourself.""Alright. You may go. I believe in you." He smiled at her, feeling warmth in his heart.Although Jenny had not yet agreed to be Alec's girlfriend, her attitude showed that she liked him. No matter what, his grandson's efforts were not in vain.After a simple conversation with him, Jenny immediately rushed to the airport. She couldn't meddle in Faust Group's aff
