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
Jenny was happy to see Jade. They hadn't seen each other in a while. "I thought you weren't in."Jade was busy with La Vie Jen Rose. Jenny knew this, which was why she hadn't gone to see her. However, Jade appeared to be in a good mood. Things were probably going well. "I take it that things are going well?""Of course. What could go wrong with me in charge?" Jade smiled. She was capable, and Jenny was backing her up. Everyone knew that Jenny was the future heir of the Walters. Based on that fact alone, no one dared to trouble Jade.Jenny gave her a thumbs up. "We know you're good."Alfred saw that they were beginning to chat, and he finished his food quickly. "You girls can talk. I'm going back to the office to handle some stuff.""Don't tire yourself out," Jenny said. If Alfred were to break down, she would be unable to replace him.Although he knew why Jenny was so concerned, Alfred still felt happy. "Don't worry. I won't let you down."After that, he got up to leave. Only Ja
Jade sighed. She put down her utensils and said, "I know what you mean, but I just can't let it go. I wouldn't be in the mood to be in a relationship unless I surpassed him."Whenever she thought of his betrayal, a surge of anger would wash over Jade. She had to succeed. That was the only way she would let things go.Seeing how determined she was, Jenny couldn't say much else. "But this would be unfair to Max.""I know. That's why I've never led him on. In fact, I want him to give up." Jade knew that she shouldn't be comparing herself to her ex-husband. Anyone would think that she couldn't let him go. However, she didn't care about that as much as proving herself.Jenny sighed. "Love is so complicated.""Oh, how old are you? Are you old enough to be saying stuff like that? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Jade teased.Jenny shook her head. "Don't think I'm inexperienced just because I'm young, Jade. I'm a divorcee, too."Although she and Alec hadn't betrayed each other, J
"I don't need you to remind me. I know." Although Yvonne was helping her, Alicia felt indifferent toward her. If Yvonne hadn't employed her brother to be her bodyguard, he wouldn't have ended that way.Yvonne didn't care about her bad attitude. In her eyes, she didn't have to care as long as they could go against Jenny.Jenny had long forgotten Jonathan Flynn. She'd also forgotten about his sister, much less anticipate her coming to look for her.At night, Jenny received a call from her senior, who was a psychologist."How is the psychologist I recommended before?" He had called to ask specifically about that. If the treatment wasn't going well, he planned to recommend another one to Jenny.Jenny suddenly remembered the matter and asked, "I never got to know her name. Who is she?"Alec said that her treatment was effective, but Jenny felt that there was something off about him. She wanted to find out for herself."Her name is Blake Watkins. She's a real beauty." Her senior chuck
