At that second, a ruthless look crept into Jenny's eyes. She clutched her penknife tightly when Pip walked toward her. Once he was close enough, she could strike him down.

Her plan was interrupted when Drew, who was keeping guard at the door, shouted, "Gus! There are cars."

Before Gus and Pip could react, a red sports car crashed through the warehouse, followed by a black Rolls-Royce Phantom. Max and Alec emerged from their respective cars with murderous looks in their eyes, scanning the three men in front of them.

"Who are you?" Gus beckoned to Pip and Drew as he placed a knife on Jenny's neck, holding her hostage. He glared warily at the two intruders.

Speechless, Jenny thought, "Why are they here?" She could have ambushed the three men, but with a knife on her neck, she lost the chance to make a move.

Max stared at the men, amused. "Of all people, you chose to assault my dear Jenny. Do you want to go to hell?"

"Free her," Alec demanded calmly, but he was burning with anger in

    Once she defeated the three men, she stepped on one of their faces and turned around to address Max and Alec. "I told you I didn't need your help."They were too shocked to speak, and "savage" was the first word to appear in their minds.Yes, savage. They had never seen a woman this skilled in martial arts.Jenny shifted her attention to her abductors. "Call your client."In an odd display of loyalty, the man stayed silent and still. She smirked at his defiance and flashed a knife in her hands. Without hesitation, she slashed his arm."Ouch!" The man yelped. She bent over and hissed like a demon, "Make. The. Call. Or you can guess where I am making the next cut.""I will! I'll make the call." Gus nodded furiously, panting heavily in pain. She nodded in satisfaction. Knowing that they were amateurs, it was no surprise that they'd rat out their clients.Once the call was connected, they heard a female voice trembling with anticipation and glee. "Is the job done?

    On their way back to the city, Max squinted at Jenny and whispered, "Are you okay?""Yes, I'm fine," she answered. After a slight pause, she emerged from her daze and added, "Thanks."He shook his head, smiling. "You don't have to thank me. I did nothing.""I'm glad that you came to save me. That itself speaks volumes." She didn't mind the fact that he hadn't done anything to help. It was decided—she owed Max a favor.As for Alec… Her expression changed at the thought of him. Since Faye was his woman, her actions implicated him too."Should I send you back to Perry Residence?" Max could tell she was in a bad mood, but he refrained from asking questions. After all, he was happy enough to see Alec upset. He could figure out the reason behind the grudge later.Jenny nodded without another word. She was thinking of revenge.…At the Lawrence Residence, Faye sat on her bed with a pale face. She panicked after she was exposed but soon forced herself to calm down."So what if Dr. Wal

    "Why? She saved you." Alec gave her a stern look, which was different from his usual gentleness.She smiled bitterly and looked at him. "Why? What do you think?" She raised her voice and growled, "Alec, don't you know my feelings after all these years?"He frowned with displeasure. "I recall telling you early on that you're only a little sister to me—nothing more than that."He thought she had understood his stance because she hadn't brought up the topic after that. Who would have known?"True. You have rejected me from the start." She nodded, the smile disappearing from her face. "But I love you. How can I possibly give up on you?""And that's why you attacked Dr. Walter?" He frowned again. "You should've come for me instead. What does she have to do with our relationship?"She wiped away a rogue tear that almost slid down her cheek. "Alec, I know you too well. Even though you're reluctant to admit it, I could tell that Dr. Walter is special to you from the way you treat her. Bu

    The call with Gilbert lasted for an hour, during which the fate of the Lawrences was discussed and sealed. After Gilbert told Jenny that he'd be back in town the next morning, Jenny wrapped up the conversation with satisfaction."The Lawrences…" she mumbled and added, "How should I deal with Faye now that I've gotten rid of them?"She gave it some thought and said to herself, "Never mind. I'll leave it to the police. I guess spending the rest of her life behind bars is not too bad of an idea."At that moment, her thoughts were interrupted by the ringing doorbell. Dressed in pajamas, she went to open the door, but her expression soured when she found Alec standing in front of her.She wanted to shut the door in his face, but he was faster, putting himself between her and the closing door. Then, he marched into her place."Alec Faust, trespassing is a crime," she reminded him through gritted teeth, badly wanting to throw him out. To her dismay, he did not look threatened and instead

    "Faye took a flight abroad an hour ago," he confessed defeatedly, watching as Jenny became angrier by the second. He didn't want their relationship to worsen, but he had to protect Faye.Fuming, she attacked him out of the blue. "Alec Faust, you're asking for it!"His eyes flickered, and he dodged her attack swiftly. "Calm down…"She launched her second attack while he was pleading. This time, she went all out."Calm down? How can I calm down?" she thought. The two fought in the cramped living room space, but Alec was mostly on the defensive instead of attacking her.Ten minutes later, Jenny was visibly exhausted, while Alec remained calm and composed. Even his hair was in perfect shape. The next minute, she came to a stop and lazily combed through her hair. "Your skills are better than I expected."From a young age, she had trained to quickly and aggressively defeat opponents under an expert, and she had been nearly invincible since. Alec's excellent combat skills came as a surp

    After Alec was kicked out of Jenny's place, he stared at her door defeatedly. Then, he sighed and left.In the living room, Jenny looked grim as she typed furiously on the keyboard. Soon, all the information about the Dickmans was on the screen, ready for her perusal. She went through the data with a grave expression.Just like Alec had said, the Dickmans were at a different level than the Lawrences. It wouldn't be easy to take them down, but that didn't mean she would give up.Whoever wanted to mess with her needed to be ready for her revenge.…At Dickman Villa, Steven made a call to his father again. "Dad, what's Alec Faust up to? How would I have known about his relationship with that woman? Also, I technically didn't do anything to her."Then, he urged his father, "Alright! Go ask him now! If I have to stay at home longer, I'll go mad!"After hanging up, he gave it some thought and decided that his father's promise wasn't good enough. He made another call.Not long after,

    As Jenny drove out from the parking lot, Steven met up with Yvonne at the airport. He pointed in Jenny's direction and said, "She's that woman.""She does look attractive," Yvonne remarked and nodded."I looked into Jenny Walter—she's a doctor at Parrington Hospital and has a good reputation." He smirked, looking unbothered. Yvonne was surprised. "Oh! She's not just a Barbie doll, then."Right. Alec would never fall for a Barbie doll.While driving, Steven muttered nervously, "Alec called away the bodyguards at the entrance this morning. I think he's done putting me under house arrest."That should have been a good news, but Steven felt uneasy about the sudden change. Hence, the first thing he did after he was free was to hurriedly fetch Yvonne from the airport."He's about to make a move on our family." She stared at her phone screen, which was showing their free-falling stock price since the morning. Alec must have had something to do with this.Steven was slightly taken aback

    "Mr. Faust, Dickman LLC's stock has reached the price limit," Over at Faust Group, Vincent handed Alec a tablet. Alec took a glance and nodded with satisfaction. "Keep an eye on them. Whatever project they're after, I want it too.""Yes, sir." Vincent nodded and silently prayed for Dickman LLC, whose owners were in hot water after Steven offended Alec.He wanted to speak but was interrupted by a knock on the door. He opened the door and was shocked by who he saw. "M-Miss Dickman!""It's been a while, Vincent." She smiled at him and asked, "Is Alec in?""Yes, he is." Vincent turned around to steal a glance at Alec. Yvonne strolled into the office, smiling from ear to ear as she looked at the man behind the desk. They hadn't seen each other for some time, but Alec remained as handsome as ever."Alec," she called. He frowned but remained unemotional. "Why are you here?""Work's not too busy. I thought I should visit home," she explained, unconcerned about what Alec was feeling. "S

    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
