Blake was able to give a confident and eloquent speech only because she had prepared her excuse before the visit. Alec indeed suffered from mental health issues before, and as long as that was undisputed, her arguments would stand.Alec understood her explanation. Before the memory loss, he had noticed an odd development in his obsession with Jenny, which was why he had sought her help to prevent things from getting out of hand. The memory loss that came after was an unexpected development."I do not intend to argue on the details, but I'd like to make it clear that our relationship is strictly business. I have no interest in you, and you shouldn't have any feelings for me." He gave her a cold glance. No matter how Blake explained herself, he couldn't bring himself to like her. Still, he needed to keep her around because he had to rely on the Watkins' support.His words didn't anger Blake. She'd take anything as long as he didn't suggest a breakup. "Okay. I got it. Our goal is to cr
Graham turned back and looked at Jenny. Seeing that she had no reaction, he nodded and said, "Alright then, Miss Watkins and Mr. Faust, take care on your way. I'd see you off, but…""No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Walter. Take care of your health." Blake smiled and pulled Alec to leave.Surprisingly, Alec didn't lose his temper. After nodding to Graham, he followed Blake out. Once they had left, Graham looked at Jenny with concern and asked, "What's going on between you and Alec?""I have nothing to do with him. Don't worry too much about it," Jenny replied. Perhaps because she had experienced too much, she was no longer hung up on love and romance. It would be great if she met someone who also liked her, but it was fine if she didn't. Graham didn't press the topic any further. With a smile, he said, "Alright, I won't worry about it."Alec and Blake ran into Evan outside the ward the moment they walked out. The man was surprised to see them. "Hello, Mr. Faust, Miss Watkins."
Jenny was unaware of what her father was thinking. Even if she knew, she would probably be at a loss at how to react. "Dad, wait here with Evan. I'll go to the kitchen and have a look." Since Graham had just been discharged from the hospital, she needed to remind the kitchen staff not to make anything too spicy or heavy.Graham nodded as she left. After all, he wanted to have a private chat with Evan. After Jenny left, Graham looked at Evan with a smile. "Evan, I heard you just returned from abroad. What are your plans for the future? Are you planning to go abroad again?""Mr. Faust, I don't plan to leave again this time," Evan replied. His tone was full of respect.Graham was growing increasingly pleased with him. Grinning, he said, "I have lived for so many years, and I can see you have feelings for Jenny. Am I right?""You have good eyesight, Mr. Faust," Evan did not deny that he liked Jenny. If Graham couldn't see that, he would be a fool.Graham was even happier when he h
Seeing his persistence, Graham didn't say more. He was willing to grant his request. Although he had already picked out some reliable people to help Jenny, having someone he trusted to oversee the company was still better. Even if Jenny ended up not working at the company later, Walter Inc would have no problem. If Evan could pursue Jenny and end up with her, that would be perfect. Imagining that, he couldn't stop himself from smiling, which puzzled Evan.Evan wondered if he had said something funny. "Mr. Walter?" He called out to him. Whether Graham agreed or not, he wanted to hear the answer.Hearing his call, Graham realized he had been distracted and let out a dry cough. "I have no objections, but I still have to talk to Jenny about it. After all, the company will soon belong to her. If she refuses, I have no choice."Although he felt there was no reason for Jenny to refuse, he still had to ask her. Since she was about to become the president of Walter Inc, she deserved some r
Jenny was startled for a moment. It scared her a little. "Evan, are you kidding me?"Evan merely laughed. They both knew he wasn't joking. Nonetheless, since Jenny pretended she didn't know, he didn't say more or pressure her for fear of invoking her resentment.Meanwhile, Graham couldn't help smiling. He had never seen his daughter afraid, which was quite an interesting sight. He secretly applauded Evan, who smiled and thanked him. It felt good to have his support. After contemplating it for a moment, Jenny finally agreed. "Evan, I'm glad you work at Walter Inc, but let me tell you first that you should never force yourself to stay because of me. If you don't want to do it anymore in the future, just tell me.""Don't worry, I won't force myself to remain in a miserable situation," Evan replied, nodding.Just like that, a decision was made. Soon, dinner was ready, and the three of them walked to the dining area to enjoy a hearty meal.Compared to the happy atmosphere in Walter
"We haven't decided to do that yet," Alec answered truthfully. After all, they hadn't been together for long, and it was too soon to consider marriage."The Watkins and the Fausts are a good match. If you feel it's appropriate, you should set the wedding date soon," Zeke said.Alec nodded, wondering what his intention was. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."Zeke didn't say much after hearing his answer. Instead, he looked at Luke and Julian, scolding them, "What about you two? When are you planning to get married?""Grandpa, I haven't even found a girlfriend yet. How can I get married?" Julian pouted, feeling that his grandfather was being unreasonable.Completely disregarding his reply, Zeke turned to Luke. After all, he was his eldest grandson and was at a marriageable age.Luke put down his utensils and asked seriously, "What do you think of Jenny Walter, Grandpa?"Instantly, the mood in the room changed. Julian sneaked a glance at Alec, whose expression turned dreadful. Th
Zeke's eyes swept across the room as he nodded. "You're right. There's nothing shameful as long as it's good for the family. Also, what's wrong with two single people getting married?" He gave Julian a pointed glare, clearly expressing his displeasure with his remarks. Julian wanted to retort, but Isabelle restrained him. Zeke had made his thoughts clear. He didn't care about Luke's intentions as long as they benefitted the Fausts.Frustrated, Julian turned to Alec, asking with his eyes, "They're talking about your ex-wife. Why are you so calm?"Alec didn't react. He silently ate his food, considering himself uninvolved in the discussion.Zeke didn't look at him but said to Luke, "If you're interested in her, go after her. However, don't use any underhanded methods because I won't clean up after you." He knew Luke's character, so he had to remind him not to cause any trouble. Although the Walters were not on the same level as the Fausts, if there was a falling out between the famili
After dinner, Alec did not stay in Faust Manor. Since he started managing a subsidiary company, he found an excuse to move out. After all, it was uncomfortable to live under their watch every day.Seeing him leave like that, Xavier was furious. "Are you just going to let him act that way?" he asked Yakov.Addressed by his elder brother, Yakov asked, "What are you planning to do?""If we have a fight, it's the Fausts' internal matter. We shouldn't let outsiders interfere, don't you think?"Yakov nodded. "You're right.""Since that's the case, let's take care of him first." If Alec hadn't performed so well and didn't attract the attention of Zeke, he wouldn't want to kill him. After all, if their father found out, he would likely be unhappy. However, if Xavier didn't get rid of him, something bad might happen. Hence, he decided to team up with Yakov. If Zeke found out, they would both be implicated, and neither would have the upper hand in the situation.Yakov didn't object to the
