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
When Rowena returned to Walter Castle, it was already 2 in the morning. She had just walked into the living room and was about to quietly go back to her room when the lights in the corridor were suddenly turned on.She was startled and turned around to find that the person who had turned on the lights was Jenny. Her heart raced uncontrollably faster. "Jenny, why aren't you asleep at this late hour?""You're not asleep either, and you just came back so late. What were you doing, Rowena?" Jenny smiled, and under the illumination of the lights, her eyes seemed to be glowing, making Rowena feel like she had nowhere to hide.Rowena tried to suppress the panic in her heart and said expressionlessly, "I felt sad because Jo moved out, so I went to talk to a friend.""Oh, really?" Jenny smirked with a hint of sarcasm.If it weren't for the fact that she had just received information from the person she sent to follow Rowena about her entering a hotel, she might have believed her words.Ro
Graham would have said yes to her request without hesitation if she had said that yesterday. He would even feel glad that this daughter of his had become sensible.Everything was too late now.Graham threw the newspaper he was reading to Jolene. He said nothing and continued eating breakfast.Jolene was puzzled but still lowered her head to look at the newspaper. Her eyes widened in disbelief in the next second, and an incredulous expression overtook her features. "This...these reporters are simply spouting nonsense."The newspaper reported extensively on her moving to James' villa last night. Some speculated that they were about to marry, while others said she was shameless. There were all sorts of comments, and most of them weren't positive."Dad, I was too impulsive yesterday. I shouldn't have moved in with him so soon." Jolene apologized with her head down. She'd rarely admitted her mistakes all these years.Unfortunately, Graham was unmoved.Jolene was helpless, so she coul
Jenny put down her cutlery and looked at Jolene with a sympathetic look. "Have you ever considered the possibility that he abhors you?""No! That's impossible! It must be you!" Jolene refused to admit it.Jenny shook her head, thinking that Jolene was hopeless, and got up to leave. Before she left, she reminded Jolene, "Remember to go back early. If you go back late and upset James, you won't be able to return to Walter Castle, and you won't be able to stay with the Windsors as well."With that, Jenny left, ignoring Jolene's angry shouts behind her.Jolene was furious and helpless. She cursed Jenny vehemently in the dining room, but what good would that do? Anyone who saw her behaving like that wouldn't think much of her. Even Rowena, who was sitting beside her, looked indifferent.Rowena dismissed the servants and let Jolene curse until she was out of breath before asking, "Do you feel better now?"Jolene finally stopped. She clenched her jaw and remained silent."Perhaps I've
