"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
Jolene became even more suspicious when she heard that. She felt that something was off. "I'm telling you, I'm James' fiancée now. He won't let you off if you dare to plot against me behind my back." Jenny smirked. "You're overthinking it. I have no intention to plot against you."Jenny knew James' personality quite well and knew that Jolene would be in for a miserable time after she moved in with him. As such, Jenny didn't need to plot against her at all."Really?" Jolene couldn't believe it.Jenny nodded and said, "Hurry up and pack. Don't keep your fiancé waiting.""Okay." Jolene nodded, thinking it made sense as she turned to continue packing her things.Throughout their conversation, Rowena silently stood on one side, staring at Jenny suspiciously. Under normal circumstances, Jenny should have stopped Jolene. After all, if Jolene and James' relationship escalated, it wouldn't be good for her.Could it be that she was quite certain that Jolene and James wouldn't develop f
Rowena snorted coldly. It was obvious to her that Jenny had some ulterior motives. "Don't be too proud. Even if Jo moves out, you won't be the one calling the shots here. As long as I'm here, I'm the lady of this house!""It's okay. That won't be the case soon." According to Graham's plan, he would soon hand over the Walter family to her. At that time, Rowena wouldn't be the lady of the house anymore.Rowena's expression changed slightly as she struggled to control her anger. "Is that so? We shall wait and see.""Sure, let's wait and see." Jenny wasn't afraid of her either.Both of them returned to their respective rooms. Just as Jenny was curious about what Rowena would do, she heard footsteps downstairs. She walked to the balcony and happened to see Rowena leaving Walter Castle. She wondered where she was going at such an hour.After some thought, Jenny took out her phone and made a call. "Help me keep an eye on Rowena. I want to know who she's meeting."She was definitely meet
"These are all my luggage, James. I'll tidy them up quickly," Jolene said.As she was about to go over and tidy up her luggage, she was pushed to the floor by James. He looked down at her with disdain, not hiding the disgust in his eyes. "Hmph! You wouldn't be thinking of sharing a room with me, would you?""James..." Jolene felt uneasy, especially with James' current demeanor. It made her have the urge to run away."Go to the servants' quarters downstairs; that's where your room is." James didn't even look at her as he walked toward the bathroom. Soon, the sound of water splashing came, and Jolene was still on the floor, feeling lost.The servants' quarters? But she was the Windsors' future lady of the house. How could she stay in the servants' quarters?Then again, she thought of James' demeanor a moment ago and couldn't help but feel scared. After hesitating for a while, she finally dragged her luggage downstairs. Moving her luggage upstairs had already exhausted her. Now,
After carefully cleaning up the spilled coffee on the floor, Jolene left the master bedroom. Right as she stepped out of the door, she couldn't help but burst into tears.She'd been the princess of the Walter family for so many years. When had she ever done such things?She returned to the servants' quarters and called Rowena, hoping that her mother could come up with a solution for her. However, the phone rang for a long time with no answer, and her heart grew colder with each ring.Jolene couldn't have imagined that, at that moment, Rowena was lying in the arms of an old man. He was considered old because he was about a decade older than Graham. The man was Boris Walter, Graham's first cousin once removed.If Graham had seen this scene, he would probably be so angry that he would want to shred the man into pieces.Boris held Rowena in his arms as he lit a cigarette, feeling satisfied.Although Rowena was a bit older in age, she had the charm of a mature woman, and Boris even th
