Chapter 803 I'm Just Afraid I'll Disappoint You

Author: Taylor
The banquet was held half a month after Graham's discharge from the hospital. By then, his body had mostly recovered, but he was far from his former self.

In the lounge of the banquet hall, Jenny donned a light blue, high-end custom-made dress and left her long wavy hair styled loosely in a relaxed do. Although she was stunningly beautiful, her expression didn't carry much joy. She knew the purpose of the banquet.

"Dad, you're still young and capable of running the company. There's no need to pass it on to me now." She couldn't manage the company, and even if it was entrusted to her, it would only be managed by other employees and professionals, which was meaningless.

Graham sat down beside her. He wasn't angry when he heard her say that. "I'm getting old. After this incident, I suddenly realized something…I used to think there was still a lot of time, and I wanted to wait until later to look for your mother. Now, I understand that accidents are always around the corner. So I don't

    Although Alec appeared expressionless, he was quite annoyed. His gaze shifted to Luke and Julian standing not far away. He knew what was going on between them since their previous dinner conversation. Although he knew it was impossible for Jenny to be interested in those two, he couldn't be sure if he understood Jenny anymore."Alec?" Blake saw that he was lost in thought while staring at Luke and Julian and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there something going on with them?""Nothing," Alec shook his head, not intending to say anything to her.Blake's face fell. Since Alec's memory recovered, he had not been as transparent with her as before. It was clear that he had his guard up against her. That was not good news, and she needed to find a way to overcome it.At the banquet, with people crowding around, Stephanie found a quiet corner to sit in and enjoy her champagne. She was not qualified to attend this kind of banquet, nor did she want to. However, since Jenny was the star o

    Once the three of them exited the stage, Jenny muttered, "Dad, why didn't you stick to the plan?""From now on, Evan will help you manage Walter Inc. Why not let everyone know about your relationship?" Graham laughed as if he couldn't see the resentment in Jenny's eyes.Jenny rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "Are you serious?"Feigning ignorance, Graham made an excuse and left, leaving the two of them alone.Evan smiled at Jenny and said, "Don't be angry with Mr. Faust. He only wants what's best for you and hopes you have more people to rely on.""In this day and age, it's every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost. Can we truly rely on others?" Jenny had never considered such a thing. Evan, however, couldn't help but laugh at her. He even playfully flicked her forehead. "You're still so stubborn after all these years. Can't you give in a little?"If Jenny yielded a little, he would be willing to give her anything, even his life. Standing so close together, an

    Evan, who was standing nearby, had been observing everything. His face was shrouded with gloom, and his eyes flashed with a murderous gleam, but he quickly composed himself because he was beside Graham.Blake also noticed Alec and Jenny as she never let Alec out of her sight. When she saw him leave with Jenny, she was tempted to rush over and scream that Jenny was a homewrecker. But she held herself back. She was at the Walters' event, representing the Watkins. It would not be good for either of them if she did that.…Alec locked the door behind him after they entered the lounge.Jenny frowned and eyed him suspiciously. "What are you doing?""I'm just worried that someone might come in suddenly. Did you think I would harm you?" Alec asked with a wry smile. Was he such a terrible person in Jenny's eyes?Jenny didn't think he would harm her; she just found his behavior puzzling. "Can we talk about it now?" she asked.Alec nodded and walked over to sit down. He motioned for her to

    Alec didn't argue against that. He nodded and said, "Yes, even if I lose my memory, I will fall in love with you again."Jenny opened her mouth, but no words came out of it."Isn't it true? Haven't you noticed that even though I lost my memory, I still paid more attention to you than others? I still cared about the other men around you and felt unhappy about them." Alec sighed. Even he had to admit that he was bound to Jenny by fate.Jenny felt a pang in her heart. Perhaps she believed him, or perhaps she felt that Alec was making excuses. Looking at him, she said, "There's no point in saying all these now. After all, you have a girlfriend.""Blake and I are just in a business relationship." Alec knew she misunderstood, so he quickly explained."A business relationship?" Jenny sneered at the thought. She was not a young child who was easily deceived.Sighing, Alec told Jenny everything—from the moment he was awakened by Blake to their collaboration and the development of their re

    Jenny did not return to the event immediately after leaving the lounge. Instead, she went to the restroom to touch up her makeup. After confirming that she looked fine, she was about to return to the venue."What is going on between Evan and the Walters? From the looks of things, they're grooming him to be their successor."Before Jenny could leave the restroom, she heard the discussion outside the door. Not wanting to be discovered, she quickly hid in a nearby storeroom."Who knows? Maybe he has an extraordinary background.""An extraordinary background? Well, I think Mr. Walter wants to find a son-in-law, and Evan is the person he chose."After that was said, everyone was shocked, but after thinking about it, they felt it made sense. How else could they explain Graham's actions?"Jenny is now in control of the Walters by herself. Graham must be worried, so he found himself a capable son-in-law, killing two birds with one stone."Everyone nodded and agreed, "But I heard that Je

  • To Be Yours Again   Chapter 809 What Do You Want to Talk About?

    Jenny reluctantly replied to Brandon with a smile. Although she disliked him, she wouldn't disrespect him on such an occasion. After a few exchanges, he left. Soon after, Yvonne came to talk to Jenny. "Let's talk, Jenny," she said calmly.Jenny, mildly intrigued about what she had to say, let out a light chuckle as she asked, "What do you want to talk about?""Let's forget about the past and focus on our new lives. I won't come to trouble you in the future, and I hope you won't make things difficult for me either," Yvonne said. From how Brandon treated Jenny, she was worried that if Brandon knew about her grievances with Jenny, he might change his mind about her. Yvonne was with Brandon now, not to become his woman but to pursue greater things. If Jenny caused her any problems, her plans would be ruined.Jenny was amused. Wondering where Yvonne got the confidence to say such things, she asked, "You? Trouble me? Yvonne, do you think you are in the position to say that?"She had

    Yvonne made no retort to her accusations. In the face of such a large power disparity, refuting Jenny was futile. It would only result in a more severe beating."Get lost! Disappear from my sight," Jenny said, frustrated. The very sight of Yvonne disgusted her.Yvonne got up and left, but she made a mental note to make Jenny pay when she married Brandon and took over the Britts. She thought she could manipulate someone as long as she shared the same bed with them as she had in her previous marriage. However, she forgot she was in Bardoff City, and no one there was that easy.Jenny was so angry that it took her a while to calm down. When she turned around, Evan was still there. He had seen everything that had just happened, which made her feel a little embarrassed.Evan handed her a glass of juice and said, "Are you thirsty? You talked for so long.""Thank you, Evan," Jenny said as she took the glass from him. The juice tasted rather good."She isn't worth your time or words. I'll

    Halfway through the night, Stephanie finally got her hands on Jenny. "We finally meet, Miss President.""Not you too." Jenny rolled her eyes, having been pestered enough tonight.Stephanie giggled. "I'm genuinely congratulating you here! Now, no one will push my family or me around in Bardoff anymore!""No one here bothered you in the first place," Jenny teased, though she knew Stephanie didn't really concern herself with it, nor did her family. In fact, they had been keeping a low profile ever since they moved there. In a way, it was like repaying Jenny's kindness of looking after them by not causing more trouble.The two women observed the flow of the crowd in the hall from their spot on a nearby couch. Stephanie sighed, "I really never imagined this day would come." She never imagined she might come to Bardoff City, nor would Jenny become the head of the Walters. "Me neither." Jenny nodded. She hadn't recovered from the shock and surprise of these past few weeks either. Some

    That afternoon, Gilbert called off his engagement to the Silveras. He did not pick up a single one of Lottie's calls. When he found Marigold, she was taking Caleb on a stroll around the neighborhood. It had been a while since she'd taken notice of anything related to Gilbert. She suddenly felt how nice it was to have her mental energy spent somewhere else, no longer being so hung up on that man. However, when Gilbert appeared before her, her heartbeat quickened. "Why are you here?" Marigold said, snapping out of her reverie. Gilbert smiled lightly. Without saying much else, he pulled her into an embrace. "Didn't you say that I could come to see you once everything is settled?" Marigold was stunned. She was in disbelief. "So, what you're saying is it's all over?" "Didn't you read the news?" Gilbert was speechless. "No. I didn't want to care." Every time she saw anything about Gilbert and Lottie, she felt miserable. She'd rather save herself the pain and block out anything

    In the end, Esther went with Gilbert's suggestion. However, she did not trade Bradshaw Operation's projects with Jenny. She went with the Silveras. For one, she did not trust the Walters. On the other hand, the Silveras and the Bradshaws were going to be united through marriage. They deserved to be trusted more. Gilbert didn't mind. After all, if anything happened to the Bradshaws, the Silveras would not help. With those projects in hand, they would only fall further into debt. The plan was going smoothly. Gilbert had not gone to see Marigold once. He knew that before subduing the Bradshaws, going to visit Marigold would only endanger her. After all, Marigold was safe. Nothing had happened, and Caleb was growing up healthily. One month later, things began to feel off in Bradshaw Operations. After Faust Group received their money, they did not start the project. No one knew what they were doing. Esther was feeling antsy. She prodded Gilbert to ask if there was anything wro

    That very afternoon, Esther and Gilbert rushed to Faust Group to sign the deal. Gilbert said he was worried that Alec would change his mind, so he urged Esther to sign it. Only through a written contract would they be able to relax. Esther thought it made sense and agreed to rush to Faust Group with Gilbert.In the meeting room, Alec looked at the two people before him, expressionless. "You have a good son, Mrs. Bradshaw." "I'm flattered. My son had Bradshaw Operations' interests at heart. He'll inevitably be a little insensitive. Please don't hold that against him, Mr. Faust." Esther smiled. She didn't mind Alec's sarcasm because it didn't matter. As long as Bradshaw Operations could truly benefit from this, she didn't care how much Alec mocked her. Alec smiled coldly and slid the contract over to her. "You may flip through it." Esther took it and read through it seriously.If this project succeeded, they would reap massive rewards. However, it required a massive upfront inv

    In the following days, Gilbert headed over to Faust Group infrequently during the day. To others, he was there to talk business with Alec. But in reality, it was a different scenario altogether. Vincent brought Gilbert a cup of coffee in Alec's office. Because of all the times he'd been there, Vincent knew what he wanted without having to ask. Alec had a cup of coffee placed before him, too. Everyone thought that Gilbert was trying to convince Alec to give him one of the shares, which was why he always came there, but that was not the case. The collaboration was a set-up. As long as the Bradshaws signed the deal on the project, they would not escape unscathed. Gilbert had planned this for a long time just to trick the Bradshaws into accepting the project. However, the scheme had to be executed perfectly. Since Gilbert buttered up the project in front of the Bradshaws, Alec had to feign disinterest in his collaboration. Otherwise, it would seem suspicious if Alec, a smart ma

    After the engagement party, Gilbert officially had a stronghold in Bradshaw operations. Because he was already very capable, he had a lot of supporters. No one challenged him in the company. Most of them sucked up to him because they knew that if things went well, he would be the heir of the company.Gilbert didn't really care about that. He didn't even want to be there for long. He knocked on Esther's door and walked into her office."Come, sit." Esther was all smiles when she saw him. It was more sincere than before.She used to doubt him a lot, but now, although she still had her reservations, she mostly believed in him. In her eyes, no one would reject the chance to inherit Bradshaw Operations. This was basically manna from Heaven. Gilbert just didn't know it back then, and now he did. Gilbert sat down in front of Esther and began reporting the information he had gathered, as well as his thoughts on Bradshaw Operations and his plans for the future.When he presented the inf

    Gilbert and Lottie's engagement party was held at Bardoff Grand Hotel on Saturday.A ton of people showed up to their engagement party. After all, the Bradshaws and the Silveras were pretty big names in Bardoff City, and plenty of the other families knew of their true wealth. They all came to attend the party. Jenny and Alec had both received invites. Jenny was Gilbert's sister, and on top of that, they represented the Walters and the Fausts. It was to be expected. At first, Jenny didn't want to go. The party held no meaning to it. It was just a show put on for Esther. It would be a complete waste of her time. However, she was talked into it by Alec. It would be weird if she didn't go. Zack brought Janet to the party. He found Jenny and was in a daze. "Wasn't Gilbert courting Marigold? Why is he engaged to Lottie?" Jenny rolled her eyes. "What have you been doing, Zack? You're really bad at keeping up." Gilbert had been courting Lottie for a while now. If Zack paid attention

    Gilbert drove to Jenny's villa, but he was in no rush to get down. He didn't unlock the doors, either. He obviously wanted to talk to Marigold. But Marigold evidently didn't want to. "I want to take my child and leave." She was afraid. What if Gilbert and Lottie married and took her child away? She no longer believed in love. The only thing she believed in was her child. Gilbert tightened his grip when he heard that. "Marigold, the engagement is only for Esther to see. I have no feelings for Lottie." "Who knows? People change. You said you didn't have feelings for me, too." Marigold found this all very amusing. Perhaps this was fate. Gilbert wanted to keep explaining, but Marigold did not give him the chance to. "Just let me and Caleb leave. If what you say is true, you can come to find us once everything is over." And if Gilbert didn't come looking for her, the truth would unfold itself, and she would give up all hope. Gilbert understood that Marigold had already made

    Marigold was miserable throughout dinner, but she persevered till the end without being too dramatic. After dinner, they walked to the entrance of the shopping mall.Gilbert went to get the car. Lottie stood with Jenny and Marigold. Watching Gilbert leave, she turned toward Marigold. "I heard that you used to like Gilbert very much." "It's all in the past. It's not worth mentioning." Marigold didn't want to talk about it. She was afraid that Lottie would see that she still liked Gilbert. Most importantly, she was afraid that Gilbert's plan would be ruined. Lottie smiled. "That's true. The past is the past. You're such a nice person. You'll definitely be able to find someone better suited for you in the future." Marigold pursed her lips. Gilbert soon brought the car over. Lottie was about to get into the car, but before she did, she suddenly turned to Marigold and said, "Gilbert and my engagement party will be in a few days' time. If you have the time, you're more than welcom

    Everyone was shocked to hear her speak so suddenly. Lottie was stunned, and she explained, "You've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just think that if the child follows his father, it'll help him develop better, and you'll be less stressed." "I don't need your concern. I can raise my child alone," Marigold snorted. She did not hold back at all. Lottie looked unpleasant. Gilbert had no choice but to step in. "We'll have our own child together. And whoever likes it the most will get to keep it." Although they knew that Gilbert had meant this for Lottie to hear, Marigold found it extremely upsetting. She looked at Gilbert, and for a moment, she was unable to tell if he was being genuine. She thought of all that Gilbert had said to her last night, saying that he didn't like Lottie and had no intention of marrying her. But he looked to be truly in love. Marigold didn't think she could tell if he was faking it. "I'm sorry. I need to go to the restroom." Marigold didn't w
