Blake sat next to Alec in the restaurant, observing his eloquence, gentlemanly mannerisms, and calm and collected temperament as he talked to their client.This was the man she had fallen in love with. This was who she wanted to be with for the rest of her life.Thus, she willingly stood by his side when he was at his weakest. She believed that Alec would one day take over the Fausts.Alec's phone vibrated. He paused and looked at the screen."Apologies. I need to take this." He sounded apologetic as he got up with the phone in hand.Blake watched him leave. Her cheery mood had turned sour.Walter…The caller ID had only one name on it, but Blake could instantly guess it was Jenny.The rage in her heart sizzled. Alec was her man. She had bet the entire Watkins family on him, so she couldn't bear to lose him to Jenny."You two go so well together, Miss Watkins," their client said. He intended to suck up to her. Compared to the insignificant Alec, he'd rather win the favor of Mi
Alec was quiet. Jenny knew that he was furious, but she said, "Well? What's it going to be?"She had already made up her mind to see him even if he refused. No matter what, she just had to talk to him today."Fine. You win." Jenny was proved victorious. Alec needed the Walters' help.They arranged for a place to meet, and he hung up. He turned and walked back into the restaurant.He sat in his original place and began talking with the client as if nothing had ever happened. Blake snuck glances at him, but nothing unusual could be seen on his face. She secretly sighed in relief.Alec would probably not fall in love with Jenny. He had lost his memories. When it came to familiarity, Blake was the one most familiar with him.Not long after, the deal was finalized. They all walked out of the restaurant together.Blake and Alec said goodbye to the client. "You're really amazing," Blake couldn't help praising Alec.Although Alec's authority didn't compare to the other Fausts, he was a
Alec's frustrations were put to rest with a nice cup of coffee sliding down his stomach. "Talk."Jenny nodded and straightened her back. She stared straight into Alec's eyes when she said, "You've lost your memories, haven't you?"Alec's eyebrows raised, and anger flashed in his eyes."I've called Grandpa and Paul. I've deduced from their words that you have indeed lost your memories," Jenny continued before he could speak. She stared at him, attempting to detect any changes in his expression. Surprisingly, he remained calm.There was silence.A few moments later, Jenny broke the silence. "Why aren't you answering my question?""I think you're hilarious. I don't know what to say," Alec sneered, his tone full of sarcasm. He leaned forward, placing his weight on the table. "Losing my memories? Have you watched too many movies, or are you just brain-dead? Why are you telling such jokes?""Jokes?" Jenny asked. Alec's reaction was making her even more certain of it. "I thought it was
"You can go ahead being deceived by her if you like. It has nothing to do with me. I just want to tell you to visit your grandfather in Parrington if you can. Don't you know that he's in the hospital right now?" Jenny had given up on whether he liked her or not.Alec's face darkened. "I don't need you to remind me of it.""If you don't, you'd have gone back to Parrington. Do you really think he would care if you have amnesia?" Jenny couldn't figure him out. If he honestly lost his memories, Old Mr. Faust would only help him. He wouldn't hurt him.Jenny grew frustrated seeing Alec like that. She said, "No one really cares that you've lost your memories. Don't keep thinking that everyone is out to get you. They'd have to be powerful enough for that. You've lost your memories, not your emotions, Alec. I don't want you to do anything you might regret."She had given Old Mr. Faust a call before. She could tell that he truly missed Alec. On top of that, he sounded weak. It was obvious th
The Glasses were in an uproar. They had called her early in the morning, demanding to know why she hadn't informed them of such important news.Rowena would have liked to, but she had no idea what was happening. Graham had done this all behind her back. He had not let her in on anything.Jenny took her phone out and took a look at the news. It was true.Who had leaked this?It could not be the Walters or the Windsors. The Glasses were suspicious, but since they could not confirm it, they had no reason to make themselves implode. It would not have benefitted them at all.She kept her suspicions to herself. She ignored Rowena, which incensed her. "Jenny Walter! I know you don't like me, but you didn't have to convince your father to go against my family! The Glasses are my family. What would the outsiders think of you making Graham do this? Aren't you afraid that the Walters will be counterattacked?"Jenny looked at her and smirked. "You think too highly of yourself, don't you?"C
Jenny smirked. "You think too highly of me. I could never change my father's decision.""Are you really going to turn the family against all the other Elites in Bardoff City, Jenny?" Rowena asked harshly.Jenny hummed nonchalantly. "You should tell Dad if you're worried about the Glasses. He might be able to help.""You!" Rowena yelled, about to lunge at Jenny. But she held herself back, knowing she was no match for Jenny.She took a deep breath to calm down. "Let's hope you don't regret your choices today," she said before leaving dramatically. Jenny didn't know where she was going or what she would do next, but something told her it wasn't anything good.She then called Alfred to have some of his men keep an eye on Rowena in case she messed with their plans. She also reminded him about the bar opening. It was best to do it soon; otherwise it'd only get tiring for him if he had to keep handling errands alone.Jenny soon finished her breakfast and left for Bardoff Hospital. T
"You really are here! I was getting worried you wouldn't be coming." Derrick had been looking out for news of Jenny these few days as he needed to decide whether he should date McKenna. When his colleague said a new neurologist was coming in, he immediately thought it might be Jenny, and sure enough, here she was.Displeasure flared in Jenny's eyes for a split second before she responded, "Mhm. Today's my first day.""I'm glad to hear it. Wanna celebrate?" Derrick then decided to take action. While McKenna's father was a director, Derrick had bigger appetites beyond mere nurses, and Jenny was right up his alley.Jenny just didn't want to be involved with this man. She didn't have a good feeling about him. "Not today, I'm afraid. I already have plans.""Great! Let's go, then. We're all friends, aren't we?" Derrick beamed as if they were really close friends.Jenny could only maintain a polite smile. They were acquaintances at most, even while studying. As much as she wished to get
"I know you like me, McKenna, but please understand, I only do like you as a sister," Derrick repeated as if he was the one being wronged.Now that she had seen how big an asshole Derrick was, any lingering feelings she had for him had dissipated entirely. "Just you fucking wait, you dick!"She'd make sure Derrick would pay for treating her like a lovesick idiot!As she stormed away, Derrick couldn't help but worry about his job stability. McKenna's father was his superior, after all, so he would be in deep shit if they really planned to punish him. But still, the man was known to keep personal and professional matters apart, so Derrick might not suffer too much at his hands. Plus, it's not like he reached beyond first base with McKenna.Derrick relaxed upon reassuring himself. Now he should focus on how to score with Jenny.He gave his friends in Parrington a call to update himself on Jenny's life there. Because of this call, he came to hear Jenny's true identity as the daughter
