She wasn't a fool. She knew that the Glasses would not be so cunning.But what if? What if the Glasses thought that Jenny and Alec were close enough that they could kidnap him to threaten her? After all, everyone knew that Jenny was the most likely to inherit the Walters.If they could make her give up the Walters by threatening Alec's life, the Walters would fall into Rowena's and Jolene's hands.The more she thought about it, the likelier she thought it to be. The Glasses may have had that in mind when they attacked Alec.She made up her mind to investigate the Glasses thoroughly."The Glasses are not much weaker than the Walters. I probably wouldn't find anything out if I were to investigate them. It would be easy for such a huge family to hide someone," Graham said slowly. He wanted to urge Jenny to give up, but he didn't say it in the end. If he did, he would be very cruel.She was his daughter. Although he disliked Alec, he didn't want her to be miserable. He might as well
Jolene was indignant when she was refused. "Why can Jenny go, but I can't?""Jenny is there to talk about serious matters," Graham said truthfully. He hoped that Jolene would not make a fuss.But Jolene would not hear of it. She merely thought Graham was displaying his favoritism, intending to introduce James to Jenny without regard for her feelings."I don't care. I want to go." She pulled at Graham's arm. She didn't want to miss this opportunity.Graham frowned, expressing his displeasure. "You're not a child anymore, Jolene. Don't be insolent."Since Jenny showed up, Graham had been learning to be a good father. Even if he felt displeased, he didn't act in anger.Unfortunately, Jolene didn't know that. "You're picking favorites, Dad. You stopped caring about me ever since Jenny showed up."Graham didn't retort. It was the truth."We're both your daughters. Can't you treat us fairly?" Jolene asked, still holding out her fantasies.What if her dad was just being silly at the
Jenny thought that she and Graham were early. However, James was already sitting in the private booth."Mr. Walter." James got up from his chair and greeted Graham with a smile.Though the Windsors and the Walters were not friends, they were still acquaintances. James and Graham had greeted each other before. He didn't know that Jenny was his daughter, so their conversations were usually brief. Now, it was different.Graham was surprised to find James being so polite. Before, they had only nodded in acknowledgment. "Mr. Windsor.""Just call me James, Mr. Walter." James had a smile on his face, looking amicable. Graham found this all very puzzling. However, he said nothing.When they sat down, James handed the menu to Jenny. "You can choose whatever you want. You don't have to be so polite around your senior.""Senior?" Graham was bewildered. Why hadn't he heard of this from Jenny before?James was surprised, too. He didn't think that Jenny had never brought up their history to G
"Relax. She has married into my family and is now part of the Walters. I will not let her affect our cooperation." Graham knew of James' concerns, so he said them out loud to avoid any doubt between them in the future. He never really liked Rowena, much less the Glasses.Before he inherited the Walters, the Glasses had bullied and tormented him relentlessly. He was merely paying them back for all they did.James understood. He nodded. "With our forces, it would be hard to take down all of the Glasses, though not impossible.""I feel the same way." Graham nodded. It would be no easy feat. Although the Glasses did not compare to them, they were still one of the Ten Elites. They would not be easily destroyed.Jenny grew confident when they said that it was possible. "It's okay. We can take our time taking them down bit by bit.""Let's talk about how we're going to do it, Mr. Walter." James was intrigued by their mission. He was no longer in the mood to exchange formalities with Jenny
Upon seeing James, Brandon greeted him, "Mr. Windsor? You're here too?" James simply nodded expressionlessly, clearly not interested in talking to Brandon. Brandon could tell, so he turned his attention to Graham, who was the real reason he was there. He quickly started chatting with Graham and was able to make him laugh.Jenny sat beside them, quietly eating, pleased with the situation. "What are you planning?" James whispered to her, sensing that there was a reason she had brought Brandon. Jenny grinned and answered, "Don't you think Brandon and Jolene are a good match?"It caught James by surprise, but he quickly understood what she meant. After taking a look at Brandon, he grinned back at her and said, "Yes, they are indeed a good match."After the meal, the four of them left the restaurant. Graham patted Brandon on the shoulder and said, "Pay me a visit whenever you're free." "Sure, Mr. Walter," Brandon replied happily. From Graham's tone, it seemed he would not oppose
Jenny thought that the conversation would end. To her surprise, Graham continued, "Now that Jolene has reached such an important milestone in her life, what about you?""What about me? I'm a divorcee. I'm not in a hurry," Jenny replied, chuckling. Marriage was not on her mind at the moment. There was also Alec in the equation. At the thought of him, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.As if he could read her mind, Graham said, "I know that you and Alec are very close, but I still stand by my view that you two are incompatible. James, on the other hand, is a good fit for you. Be it his family background or his personality, he's excellent in all aspects. Why don't you give that a thought?"When Jenny wasn't around, James told him he liked Jenny and hoped that Graham could help him. It so happened that Graham was worried about Jenny's love life, and he was also pleased that James met all his criteria. Hence, he had no reason to refuse James's request.With a frustrated sigh, she s
His father nodded. Then, he asked, "Do you think Jolene is that person?"After a moment of thought, Brandon answered, "I understand what you're trying to say. You're suggesting that it's more likely to be Jenny, right?""Don't you think so?" his father asked. "I think that Jenny is better than Jolene in terms of ability, conduct, and connections.""I agree." Brandon didn't refute his father's statement. "However, regardless of that, Jolene is the rightful daughter of the Walters. Jenny is an illegitimate daughter."Graham had not married Jenny's mother back then. Even though they were in love, the Walters did not acknowledge their relationship. Therefore, Jenny was not a proper daughter of the Walters.Jolene, however, was different. She was the daughter of Graham and Rowena. Regardless of how bad the relationship between Graham and Rowena was, they were still married."That makes sense." His father agreed with his point of view.In a family like theirs, there were many illegiti
The woman didn't care about Alec's distrust and thought it was normal. "You can check for yourself, but you have to wait until you're feeling better," she told him."I will," Alec replied.After reading through all the materials, Alec's expression became solemn. The woman observed him silently, a smile playing at the corner of her mouth.All the information she gave Alec was true, and she even helped him discover why the Fausts had targeted him, though she had altered some details."Is there something about a former wife in the information?" Alec inquired when he saw the name Jenny, his heart racing."Yes, her name is Jenny, but you've been divorced for a long time," the woman confirmed."Why did we get divorced?" Alec asked, puzzled."You didn't like her, after all. You were arranged to marry her by your grandfather, and there were no feelings at the time," the woman explained candidly. She didn't see a reason to hide that from him since the information was readily available. "
