It took a long while for Jolene to prop herself up. She looked at James and Jenny standing together as if they were the couple and she was the mistress.A thunderstorm of emotions surged through her chest."I'm your fiancée, James! How could you do this to me?" Jolene looked at James with tears in her eyes, holding back her pain. She thought he would appreciate her effort these past few days and would at least stand up for her at that moment.Alas, he did not.Jenny looked at her coldly, but James' gaze was even colder.He walked toward her and lifted her chin. "Who let you in here? Who do you think you are?""I…""If you want to stay in my house, you'll have to suck it up. Don't you dare say that something is going on between Jenny and me. Even if there was, you have no right to point it out." His tone was ice cold. He was gripping her hard, and her chin quickly turned red.Jolene was so angry that she burst into sobs, but crying was no use. James would only hate her even more
Jenny had no idea what Rowena and Jolene were conspiring, but she had her own line of defense.Jenny knew something was up the night Rowena snuck off with someone for a secret meeting. Once Jenny learned of the person's identity, she knew at once that Rowena was planning something.Rowena probably didn't know that she had long been targeted by Jenny. The moment she did anything to harm the Walters, Jenny would instantly be able to use something against her.But before Jenny could find out Rowena's secret, Randy found her."Jenny." Randy looked at the beautiful woman before him, his eyebrows furrowing.Jenny was a little surprised to see him. "What's up, Randy?"Since leaving Walter Inc, Jenny had been looking for a job at a hospital. What she truly wanted was to be a doctor."I have something to ask you," Randy said. "The Glasses have been losing quite a few projects lately, and our research shows that it might have something to do with Walter Inc."He stared hard at Jenny as i
Blake raised an eyebrow. She walked toward Randy."Mr. Glass," she said. Although she disliked Randy, he was still the successor of the Glasses. She could use him to her advantage.Randy immediately cleared up the expression on his face when he heard her. When he saw that it was Blake, he smiled. "Miss Watkins. What a coincidence that you're here.""Yes. Alec and I are here on some business," she said, looking at Alec.Randy only now realized that Alec was there, too. He deflated a little. "Oh, it's Mr. Faust."Alec was the director of Faust Group. Everyone called him Mr. Faust to not embarrass him since he was part of the Ten Elites. However, he was only a pawn to the Fausts. He would basically never reach the inner workings of the company."Why don't we have a meal together since we've bumped into each other?" Randy looked at Blake with a smile. He directed his question to her and couldn't care less about Alec.Blake hesitated. She looked at Alec, who was walking over. "I have
Everyone was spreading rumors about them being together. Since both Alec and Blake had not cleared anything up, it was considered a confirmation.They were in agreement. Blake would help him inherit the Fausts if Alec agreed to be with her."How can I tell them about something like this?" Blake shook her head. Her parents would rage at her if she did.Moreover, Alec might think that what they had was fake, but Blake didn't share the same sentiment.She noticed he was unhappy and said, "It's fine if you don't want to go. We're just going to have a simple meal. I told my father you wished to be the Fausts' next heir. He thinks favorably of you. He's probably inviting you over to talk about this."Alec did not want to join the Watkins because he did not think he and Blake were a couple. At most, they were collaborators.But Blake was a psychologist. She saw through Alec's heart clearly. She knew that what he wanted right now was to inherit the Fausts. Hence, when she brought the mat
For whatever reason, when Derrick heard that Jenny was still uncertain, he sighed in relief. Did that mean that Jenny might not get the job after all?Jenny didn't know what he was thinking, but when she saw his face visibly relax, she felt speechless.What did her interview have to do with him? Did he have to care so much?"Why did you suddenly resign from Parrington Hospital? Did something upset you?" Derrick was curious.Jenny shook her head, not wishing to tell him too much. "It's a personal reason. Didn't you also mention that Bardoff Hospital offered more career advancement?"She hadn't forgotten that gleeful look on Derrick's face after he mentioned that he worked at Bardoff Hospital. Why was he so unhappy now that she was here?Derrick smiled dryly and rubbed his head as if to relieve himself of the awkwardness. "That's true. You're brilliant. You'll definitely shine in Bardoff Hospital.""Thank you." Jenny smiled.Derrick glanced at the time and said, "Have you eaten y
Jenny quickly forgot about her encounter with Derrick. She hadn't even taken it to heart and hadn't the slightest idea that she was already marked.After leaving the hospital, she went to the company. Not Walter Inc, though. She went to Jeneration Group, which was being managed by Jade and Alfred. Though technically, it was mostly Alfred doing the managing. Jade was spending most of her efforts on designs.Jenny didn't think it was a bad thing. Jade was best at fashion, after all. She was working extra hard, probably because of her ex-husband. She wanted to take the brand to greater heights to surpass the company she had once built.Alfred was in his office when he saw her and said, amused, "Oh, a rare visitor.""Oh, stop it." Jenny rolled her eyes, though she felt guilty. It had indeed been a while since she last came there.If it weren't for Jeneration Group making it on the news, letting her know that it was growing bigger and stronger, she would have forgotten all about this c
Jenny nodded. She had been considering it for a while. She thought that she was being too passive. If she inherited the Walters one day and had no means of gathering intel, a lot of things would be stuck in passive stages. Hence, she came to talk to Alfred about building a channel through which they could gather information.After a while, Alfred spoke. "We could do that, but I have no idea how."He had not done anything like it before. If he ever needed to find something out, he would have hired a private detective or gone to ask someone he knew. He had not wondered about where they got their information."Actually, it's easy. Do you know what makes people talk?" Jenny smiled as she popped the question at him. She obviously already had something in mind.Alfred was stunned. Tentatively, he said, "Alcohol?"Jenny nodded. That was precisely it. People were only willing to talk when they were drunk. On top of that, they would talk with no filters over their mouths."Are you suggest
The food in the cafeteria was truly amazing. Jenny was satisfied, and she praised Alfred. "You're great at your job. Even the food in the cafeteria tastes good. You're really putting a lot of effort into this.""Of course. After all, I come here every day." He was all alone. Eating in the cafeteria was the most convenient thing for him to do.Jenny felt embarrassed. "What if I…get you an assistant? Don't tire yourself out.""It's fine. I don't need one yet. If the workload becomes too much, I'll figure it out." He had the final say in whatever happened in the company. Jenny wouldn't even know if he had hired one, or several, assistants."Okay. You'll have to go by your judgment. Take care of yourself because I'm putting this company in your hands. Who else is going to handle it if something happens to you?" She said it sincerely, but in Alfred's ears, they sounded unpleasant.He glared at her in a huff and said, "I'm just a tool to you, aren't I?""Uh…""I thought we were friend
