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. "
Alec was confused. "Why would he suddenly make such a decision?""I don't know," Blake replied. "Maybe it's because he feels guilty about what your grandfather did for him. Perhaps he's trying to make up for it now?" She didn't know the real reason.Perhaps giving Alec the opportunity to compete among the Faust family was a form of compensation, especially since the opportunity was rare. However, Alec didn't think the head of the Fausts in Bardoff City was so kind. It was likely that he was using him to sharpen the skills of the eldest sons and grandsons of the Fausts. They weren't qualified to inherit the Faust family if they couldn't handle the challenge. However, if they came out on top, it would show they were capable and worthy. Naturally, the current head of the family would trust them to take over the reins. As for an outsider like Alec, could the Fausts entrust themselves to him?Alec's eyes, however, shone brightly. It was still an excellent opportunity. If he didn't ch
Alec contacted his friends and family in Parrington, including Old Mr. Faust, Vincent, and even Paul, but not Jenny. It wasn't until the next day that Jenny learned from Vincent that Alec was still alive. She couldn't believe it, feeling both happy and finding it surreal.Jenny and the Windsors had just implemented their plan to take down the Glasses. Before she even had a chance to investigate the Glasses, she was told that Alec was fine. She wondered if it was a work of the Glasses or if Alec had escaped from them on his own. Jenny had many questions to ask, but above all that, she was eager to see Alec. After the call with Vincent, she was about to call Alec when it finally hit her. Vincent had told her that Alec had contacted them a few days ago, so why hadn't he contacted her?Feeling a little suspicious, she eventually dialed Alec's number. She had to confirm whether he was really safe. The phone rang for a long time before he answered. Jenny suddenly realized her palms wer
Even though Alec had lost his memory, he had seen pictures of Jenny, so he recognized her the moment she appeared. He had the impulse to rush over and hug her, but he resisted. On the one hand, it was because they were in Faust Manor, and on the other hand, he chalked his desire to embrace as his unresolved psychological issue."What are you doing here?" he asked coldly. He had no intention of telling anyone about his amnesia as he thought it was unnecessary since he could learn everything about himself from the information he had been given. If others knew about his amnesia, they might do something to him.Jenny didn't understand why he was being so cold. He had only been missing for a few days, so why did it seem like he had changed completely? She had already decided to reconcile with him, but he behaved as if he didn't like her one bit, as if his previous affection had been forced. "I thought I was clear enough," Alec said, looking at Jenny stoically. At that moment, Jenny
Zeke nodded. Without warning, his tone turned sharp as he said, "Since you've divorced, it means you're not meant to be together. It's better to keep your distance from each other in the future.""Mr. Faust, this is a matter between Alec and me. You're interfering too much." She was already angry with Alec. Hence, hearing Zeke say that only made her more furious. "Alec is a good kid. He is a capable person who knows his limits. I have high hopes for him, and I don't want him to be disturbed." Zeke was not upset by Jenny's angry rebuttal. If a few words from a young person could anger a person of his age, he would have learned nothing during all the time he had lived.While Jenny didn't understand the relationship between Alec and the Fausts, she understood what Zeke meant. He was telling her that she was not worthy of Alec.It made sense to her as the Fausts were at the top of the Ten Elites in Bardoff City while the Walters lagged. Hence, it was expected that he would look down
After a moment of silence, Zeke smiled and said, "This can only mean that either he was putting on an act in the past or the act is happening now."The butler thought for a while before expressing his opinion. "I think he was pretending before. Perhaps he never really liked Jenny and was only clinging to her because he knew she was the daughter of the Walters. Now that he is part of the Fausts, he must feel that he is out of her league, so there's no need to pretend anymore."There were many people like that who only cared about their own interests and benefits. It didn't matter to them whether they liked what they were doing or the people they were associated with.His butler's suggestion made sense to Zeke. "Keep an eye on him," Zeke instructed. "Whether he is pretending or not, it will become clear over time.""But sir, why do you insist on bringing back those Fausts who are outsiders? Are you really planning to hand over the Faust family to them?" The butler was confused. He
"What do you want?" Jenny asked. She didn't have time to participate in the act he was putting on.The Fausts seemed really complicated. She had just met with Alec, and Zeke had pulled her aside for a talk. Now an innocent-looking young man appeared out of nowhere, but who knew what he was up to?Julian Faust was embarrassed by her bluntness. When he stayed silent, Jenny was about to enter the car and leave. However, Julian didn't intend to give up just yet. He stopped Jenny again and said, "I really just want to hitch a ride with you. I'm not up to anything else.""Does the Fausts not have a driver? Even if there is no driver, you expect me to believe you can't afford to buy a car?" Jenny sneered, finding his lack of intelligence amusing. The way she ruthlessly tore into him made Julian more embarrassed. "Just because we have a car doesn't mean we can't hitch a ride. I think you're very charming. What's wrong with trying to hitch a ride with you?"Jenny just looked at him silent
