Chapter 881 Whatever You Say

Author: Taylor
Jenny coughed, obviously awkward.

Alec had indeed often asked her out during the time he was hospitalized, and she had always refused. She didn't think he'd be talking about it now. Did he have to be so petty?

She said nothing else. They would eat in the cafeteria, then. The food there was honestly pretty good, at least to her. As for Alec's tastes, that was none of her business.

"I saw Zeke in the hospital this morning. He was here to see you, wasn't he?" Jenny asked, curious.

Alec nodded. "You say you don't care about me, but you do, really. Haven't you noticed?"

"What do you mean? Zeke was so noticeable. I would have seen him as long as I wasn't blind." On top of that, everyone in the hospital was talking about it. Even if she hadn't seen him, she would have known.

What a pity that Alec couldn't care less about her denial. "He was here to see me. He's caught two of Xavier's killers and wants me to interrogate them."

"What?" Jenny instantly grew worried. "They won't give you a

    Jenny didn't see the couple fight. She was staring at Alec. "How is the food? It isn't too bad, is it?""It's pretty good. It's no wonder you come here often," he said.Jenny pouted, still feeling a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I'm not refusing you on purpose. I just haven't thought it through yet.""I know." Alec smiled. He understood her inner struggles. If it were him, he'd be struggling to make a decision, too. He wouldn't know if he were a reliable shoulder to cry on.Jenny opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But the more she looked at Alec, the harder it was to speak."You don't have to overthink it. Go with the flow. I'd still be a pretty confident person." Alec smiled. He believed that Jenny liked him, so he didn't worry too much.Jenny nodded, saying nothing as she continued to eat.In the Watkins' residence, Blake watched as the news on the Fausts was deleted one by one. She couldn't help guessing what the family was like now.Who had killed Xavier?She kn

    Blake was stunned. Of course. Even if it was Yakov, Zeke would not press charges against him. He might even cover up for him.After a moment's consideration, she had her answer.Xavier's killer couldn't be Yakov. Even if it was, Zeke would clear his name.And if it couldn't be Yakov, there was only one other person.Alec Faust!"Mom, do you think this could be Alec's doing?" Blake asked.Mrs. Watkins was stunned, but then she shook her head. "He probably doesn't have the ability. Besides, the day it happened, Alec nearly died.""Nearly died?" Blake was shocked. After being forbidden from getting involved with the family business, she lost her means of gathering intel. She had no idea about it at all.Mrs. Watkins didn't hide anything from her since it wasn't considered big news. "On the day Luke invited him to the opening of a turf club, he lost his footing and fell down a cliff. He nearly died. Your father thinks it's not because he lost his footing but because Xavier and Luke

    Alec walked into Faust Manor. At once, he saw Luke walking toward him grimly."I know you did it, Alec!" Luke glared at him, hatred seeping through his eyes.Alec acted dumb, asking, "I don't know what you mean.""Quit with the act. You killed my father, didn't you?" Luke got closer to him, looking as if he would fight him.Alec waved his hand, pretending to be innocent. "You're using me as a scapegoat. Don't you remember what I was doing when your father died? I nearly died in your hands. Why do you have the memory of a goldfish?"Luke was at a loss for words. He didn't think it would be Alec since he simply didn't have the time or energy to do it.However, Zeke was sure that it was him. Luke believed him."Zeke told you things, didn't he? Don't be so stupid, Luke." Alec shook his head in exasperation, thinking that Luke was beyond help.Luke was upset. Before he could ask what Alec meant, the man spoke. "Zeke has only two sons. And now one of them is dead. Forget who killed h

    She did not continue with the topic and decided to bring up Jolene. "I hear that Jolene did not follow Rowena in the end.""Yeah." James nodded and then smiled. "I knew you would ask about this.""I was just curious about what you were thinking. Otherwise, I'd worry." Jenny thought that Jolene could not compare to James. However, if James accidentally liked Jolene back, she could do nothing about it. She was worried that something like that would happen, which was why she was so anxious to ask him the question.James ate and looked out the window as if considering his answer. Jenny grew anxious.After a while, he said, "I wasn't really thinking. I just thought a free nanny would be nice. I wouldn't be the one at a disadvantage, anyway. Why would I refuse?""You're not someone who has to cut back on a nanny's fees," Jenny said. This excuse was a stretch. It was unbelievable."Well, I just thought it would be too easy to just let her go like that. Making her stay is a sort of pun

    Jolene was shocked to her core. "Why…why would she think that?"She was extremely agitated. She really wanted to know if James had any feelings for her, any at all."Now that I think of it, you think the same, don't you? You wanted to leave, but then you came back." James was no fool. Jolene's actions were weird. She definitely had an ulterior motive.Jolene was fearful of his gaze. She waved her hands quickly. "What? I don't…""Really?" James straightened his back, leaning toward her.With the close distance, Jolene was utterly dazed. Ever since that night in the hotel, they had not been this close. She could hear her heartbeat, beating a mile a minute. In her frenzied state, she suddenly said, "That's right. I thought you liked me, even if only a little bit."James smiled. But it was not a smile that heralded good news.In the spur of the moment, like a crazed woman, Jolene kissed him instead of pulling back.For a moment, James had no idea how to react when the warmth pres

    Jolene didn't end up kneeling until the morning. She was so tired at night that she had dozed off. She thought that James would scold her harshly in the morning. However, when she woke up, he had left the villa, and she had a blanket around her shoulders.She looked at the blanket, smiling.Jenny had no idea about what had happened between James and Jolene. After her meal with him yesterday, she had no other intentions of interfering. It was between them, after all. Although Jenny didn't like Jolene, she couldn't break them up on purpose.She didn't want to care about it any longer, opting to let things unfold naturally. She went to the hospital to work. It was just like any regular hospital day but with different patients.Sometimes, when Jenny looked at them, she'd wonder if she could save more people if she were stronger."Doctor." A tiny voice interrupted her thoughts. Jenny looked down, seeing a young girl. Her mother was currently under Jenny's care.She bent over and p

    In the end, Jenny couldn't convince her to undergo the surgery. She had no way to solve her problems. Although she was confident in the surgery, she couldn't guarantee success.Of course, Jenny could pay for the surgery. However, it would not solve the problem. People like her were rampant, and there would be more in the future. She couldn't save them all.Besides, when Jenny suggested the idea, the mother refused at once. She didn't know what to do.Feeling frustrated, Jenny knocked on the director's door."Jenny," he said politely. He knew she was skillful despite her young age and knew of her identity.Jenny smiled at him and sat down. "Patient number 23 says that she wants to be discharged."The director was stunned. He was trying to remember who it was. He soon did. She was a mother with a little girl next to her. It was quite memorable."Why so sudden? Isn't her surgery scheduled after two weeks?" The director was surprised. He had seen her records and knew that surgery co

    Jenny walked out of the director's office. Her work today was basically done. Because of her low spirits, she left the hospital to rest at home.Alec called right at that moment. After his stay in the hospital, their relationship changed for the better. They contacted each other frequently.When Jenny got to the coffee shop, Alec was already waiting."Chilly, isn't it? Here, have something warm." Alec pointed at the hot coffee on the table, expressing his concern.Jenny nodded. The first notes of winter were descending, and the wind was growing frostier. Even her coat couldn't keep her warm. Thank goodness the coffee shop had its heater on. After downing the cup of hot coffee, the cold left her bones, and she grew warm."You got off work early today. Looks like nothing much went on in the hospital today," Alec said. He just wanted to know more about Jenny.Jenny nodded. She was disheartened; perhaps it was because winter was coming and because of the mother and daughter in the ho

    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
