After he said those words, Jenny's expression changed slightly as she looked at him and asked, "Did she offend you somehow?""Not really. I just don't like that kind of woman." Jolene's success in her scheme indirectly encouraged other women who intended to make a move behind the scenes to take a leaf out of her book. Julian would have to watch every drink he had from then onward. Countless women would try to carry out their plans at any cost, not caring about the consequences."If you want to teach her a lesson, that's your business. Don't drag me into it." Jenny didn't want to be implicated later on if Julian did something and blamed it on her for teaching him. She wouldn't be able to explain herself to either the Fausts or Graham.Hearing her response, Julian felt aggrieved. "Jen, I just wanted to help you express your anger.""Come on. Don't pretend to be innocent in front of me, Mr. Faust. Just tell me what's your purpose in approaching me." She was tired of playing along with
The question seemed to weigh heavily on Julian. Jenny stared at him in silence for a while before he slowly spoke up, "That's not exactly the case."Then, he continued, "Although Grandpa has summoned many members of the Faust family back from everywhere, the biggest threat among them is Alec. After all, someone could easily obtain information about his abilities the moment they looked into it. Grandpa has praised him immensely. He has just returned to the Faust family but has secured himself a position in Faust Group. No one else was given this much recognition."Julian himself had only recently joined the company. On the other hand, Alec had only been back for a short time, but he'd become a part of Faust Group. It was obvious that Zeke valued Alec a lot, naturally making the rest of them nervous.As an outsider, Jenny could see through Zeke's intentions at a glance. He purposely directed the attention of his sons and grandsons toward Alec, as he believed that Alec would be a good
Listening to what Julian said, Jenny thought about the oppressive atmosphere in the Faust family. It was no wonder Julian would have such thoughts.She pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since you're not interested in inheriting the Faust family and your only goal is to prevent Xavier from inheriting everything, why not consider supporting Alec? If he inherits the Faust family business and assets, it won't affect you, right?"Julian looked at her in shock. He blinked a few times, unable to believe what he'd just heard. "You want me to support him?"Jenny nodded."Have you really divorced Alec? It sure doesn't seem like it." Julian looked at Jenny suspiciously. If they were divorced, Jenny shouldn't be helping Alec.Jenny was speechless and rolled her eyes at him. "What's wrong with my suggestion? You're not interested in inheriting the Faust family anyway.""Although I'm not interested, that doesn't mean my dad or sister isn't. If they find out that I intend to support
Stephanie was drinking champagne. Because of Paul's reappearance, she felt a little unenthusiastic about everything that day. However, she didn't refuse when someone approached her for a conversation. After all, she couldn't afford to offend anyone who attended the banquet, so she drank the wine the other party offered. But soon, she realized that something was wrong with it. She had only taken a few sips and already felt a bit unstable on her feet."Miss, are you drunk? Let me take you upstairs to rest." A young man from one of the rich families approached and held Stephanie by her arm, leading her out of the banquet hall.Stephanie was feeling groggy at that moment, and she didn't even know who the person next to her was. "No...I don't want to go..." she murmured softly, but the young man didn't care. He came to the banquet today to find prey and had been eyeing Stephanie for a long time. She was beautiful and didn't come from one of the prominent families, which made her the per
"I am her best friend, so I should have the right to thank you on her behalf. After all, you and Steph are not that close," Jenny said as she walked forward and lifted Stephanie from the bed.For someone who had practiced martial arts, lifting Stephanie was not a big problem for Jenny. It even seemed quite easy for her.Her words were like a slap to Paul's face, and his face fell drastically. "If you really are her best friend, you should protect her instead of letting her end up in this situation," he countered.Jenny fell silent. She realized that she had been careless today. On top of that, she didn't expect someone to use such despicable means at a banquet held by the Walters.Her gaze swept over the unconscious young man as she said coldly, "I'll seek justice for Steph in this matter for sure, so you don't need to worry, Mr. Wagner." After saying that, Jenny carried Stephanie away, not caring how Paul felt about her words.Long after Jenny and Stephanie had left, Paul stood
"Do you not know Steph?" Jenny asked in disbelief. Even she couldn't believe what she was saying, but Alec's response suggested that he had no idea who Stephanie was.He quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Who is she? Why would I waste my time to get to know her?""Alec, what's wrong with you? Steph is my best friend. You've met her before; you know her. Why are you reacting like this now?" It seemed as if he'd never met Stephanie, and Jenny couldn't understand how the situation came to this.Jenny's words made Alec realize that despite his investigation and reading up on information related to them, there were still many missing pieces. Stephanie was a good example right now. She had no connection with him, but they knew each other because of Jenny, and they had met before. However, he had no memory of this person.Not wanting Jenny to know about his amnesia, he tried to cover it up by saying disdainfully, "So what if I know her? Since I'm not interested in her. Why would
"Hmph, who knows," Alec said coldly, clearly skeptical.His tone made Jenny feel uncomfortable, and her expression hardened. "Alec, you need to understand that we are in a business partnership. I'm not your subordinate, and you have no right to act all high and mighty with me."Seeing her angry, Alec frowned slightly. "I'm just reminding you not to get too close to the other Fausts. They might have ulterior motives when they approach you.""That would be none of your business, Mr. Faust. After all, I'm not very familiar with you either." Jenny glanced at him, her expression indifferent.Alec was slightly annoyed. He sneered, "That's true. Considering that you have quite a few men around you, you're not likely to be interested in that idiot, Julian."At his words, Jenny's already unhappy expression turned into one of immense displeasure as she looked straight at Alec. "Mr. Faust, are you unhappy with the men around me? Or are you hoping to be one of them?""Shameless," Alec scolde
Jenny pursed her lips and said, after much deliberation, "It wasn't me who saved you. When I arrived, you were already safe.""Huh?" Stephanie was puzzled. If it wasn't Jenny, then who else could it be?"It was Paul. He'd already taken care of that lecherous man when I arrived." Despite not liking Paul, Jenny chose to tell Stephanie the truth.As for what Stephanie would choose, Jenny would leave it up to her, but she wouldn't allow Paul to keep her constantly bound to him. She wanted Stephanie to have the right to choose instead of being denied the chance by Paul.Hearing that Paul was the one who saved her, Stephanie felt conflicted deep inside, but she quickly smiled and said, "Tch! Who cares if he saved me? He wouldn't use saving me as leverage against you, would he?" It wasn't that Stephanie was prejudiced and thought badly of Paul, but she didn't have a good impression of him currently.Jenny shook her head. "No, he didn't say anything."When it came to something like tha
