Chapter 908 Getting Help Was Easy, but Sending Away the Helper Was Tough

Author: Taylor
Jenny didn't overstay her welcome in Yvonne's room. Neither did she care about the identity of Yvonne's attacker. It was none of her business; she wanted nothing to do with it.

When Alec met up with her, she deliberately told him about Yvonne to observe his reaction. There was no change in his expression, as though Yvonne was a stranger to him. She was bored by his reaction and grumbled, "You were close with her. Why don't you look like you care?"

"Jenny, you're impossible sometimes." He sighed and smiled at her in defeat. She was puzzled by his remark, and he explained, "Were you hoping for any reaction when you brought up Yvonne? Did you think I'd care about her?"

She pouted. "It was a casual talk. If you hate the topic, just forget I've ever brought it up."

"No, it's not that I hate the topic. I think you underestimated my feelings for you." He never had feelings for Yvonne and couldn't care less about her getting beaten up and hospitalized. Even if she was dead, he wouldn't sho

    He chuckled at her question and asked her instead, "Are you worried?""Of course! Who isn't worried about their safety?" Given how influential the Fausts were, she figured she couldn't take them down even as the head of the Walters. Zeke Faust was a merciless man from the way he silently agreed to Xavier's attack on Alec. He was definitely not easy to deal with. "Why would you agree to have dinner with me, then?" he inquired, as he did not see any hint of fear on her face. She took a bite and said nonchalantly, "I can't possibly give up on my normal life out of fear."Agreeing to dine with Alec and getting closer to each other was part of her normal life, and she wouldn't change that for anyone, even if that meant risking her safety. She did not believe that keeping a distance from Alec would make her safe from Zeke Faust. If the old man set his eyes on her, he wouldn't go easy on her no matter how far she stayed away from Alec."Yeah, you're right." He nodded in agreement. "D

    Alec spent some time cooking up a reply. A while later, Jenny heard him muttering, "Well, we're just acquaintances. You know what happened between me and him. We would never be close."Even though Mortimer was in a coma at the hospital, and there appeared to be no conflict between Alec and Alfred, they knew that they would never be true friends, considering the bad blood between them."Right. So why did he tell you?" Jenny asked, feeling confused."He probably…doesn't want to see you dating Evan Clarke." Alec was surprised too when he received the tip from Alfred, but he thanked the man and didn't prod much.She was speechless at Alec's answer, but she couldn't deny the possibility of Alfred doing so. If Alfred was getting along fine with Alec, it made sense that he would rather see Jenny dating his half-brother than Evan Clarke.She stopped asking questions and took the elevator to her place. She had hired a cleaner to clean up the unit the day before. The apartment was ready for

    Sensing her rage, Alec burst out in laughter and handed Jenny a glass of cocktail. "Try this."She accepted it and took a sip. Then, she complimented his skills, "It's nice. But the alcohol isn't too strong. It tastes like juice instead.""Yeah, it's not good to overdrink." He deliberately added only a little alcohol into her cocktail so as to not affect her sleep. Jenny looked amused but said nothing as she slowly sipped on the drink. Alec made himself a cocktail and asked, "Has Walter Inc told you about the charity fund?" His staff had visited Walter Inc on the matter, but he was unsure if Jenny was briefed on the progress. "Yes, they told me about it." She nodded."How's the girl's mother doing? She's able to undergo surgery without worries, right?" he asked, but his only goal was to learn more about Jenny. Truth be told, he was not interested in the others."Yes. We have scheduled the surgery, and I'll be her surgeon," she added. He glanced at her and noticed no worried

    "Did you just wake up?" Alec asked with a smile, breakfast in hand. Jenny nodded and moved to the side to make room for him. He entered her living room and placed the breakfast on the dining table. "Do you want to wash up first?""Alright." She returned to her senses and rushed toward the bathroom.Alec watched on with a huge grin. He could tell that Jenny had a girly side despite putting up a cold and independent front. However, she'd only show her true side in front of people she trusted.He believed that his hard work had resulted in progress because Jenny never behaved in that way in front of him before. This proved that she trusted him to some extent. It was good news, but he still had work to do to win her heart.After washing up and changing out of her pajamas, she joined him in the living room, the blush still lingering on her cheeks from the embarrassment. She casually asked him, "Why are you up this early?""It's not too early. It's a habit of mine." He always woke up ea

    "Grandpa, did the Watkins really kill Dad?" Luke was doubtful about the theory. Even though the Fausts didn't interact much with the Watkins, the two families had no major conflict with each other either. Logically, the Watkins wouldn't have committed the heinous act.However, he poured over the information that Alec provided him with and ran his investigation. It was confirmed that the Watkins had been in contact with the two assassins, who likely died at the Watkins' hands as well. Despite the solid evidence, he still felt that something was off.Zeke lifted his gaze but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "What do you think?""All evidence pointed to the Watkins, but I still think it's strange." However, Luke couldn't quite pinpoint the reason for his doubt. Zeke chuckled softly and looked away as he said coldly, "Of course, it's strange because the Watkins family isn't behind the murder.""They didn't do it? But the evidence…""The evidence merely proved that the Watkins had b

  • To Be Yours Again   Chapter 914 Don't Overwork Yourself

    Jenny was done with the morning rounds. She chatted with the patients scheduled for surgery the following Monday to make sure they were okay before she left the hospital. Two hours before noon, she stood at the hospital entrance, looking lost. She didn't know where else to go after that. A gust of cold breeze lifted the hem of her skirt. She shivered, and her mind was instantly clearer.She recalled that Alfred told her about Jade's struggles, and she decided to check in with Jade in case her friend needed help. However, she didn't find Jade in the office, and according to the assistant, she had gone to a client meeting.Jenny shook her head in defeat. As the boss, she didn't work as hard as Jade and felt a little guilty. Was she too laid back for a company CEO?With that in mind, she decided to visit her office. Indeed, Jenny had an office in Jeneration Group. The CEO's office was also located in the best spot on the top floor. The floor only had two offices—hers and the general

    By noon, Jade was not back yet, and that got Jenny worried. Which client was she meeting, and why did she spend the entire morning there? Feeling anxious, she went to Jade's assistant to ask about the client. Unfortunately, the assistant had no clue, which only fueled her worries. She called Jade without even thinking if she might interrupt the meeting. To her dismay, Jade didn't pick up.Jenny had a bad feeling that something had happened to Jade, for she always took her call. She wasn't too concerned at first, but the unanswered call worried her. She rushed to Alfred's office and instructed him to look into Jade's client. At the same time, she ordered Melissa to pin down Jade's whereabouts. As long as Jade was within Bardoff City, they should be able to trace her down fairly soon. Even after making the arrangements, she felt perturbed.Alfred made some calls to get someone to look into Jade's whereabouts. He saw how worried Jenny was and reassured her, "Don't worry.

    "What do you think you're doing?! Let me go!" The receptionist screeched, pinned under Alfred's hold. Irritated by her voice, Jenny was about to shoot Alfred a look to make him shut the woman up when he instantly shoved a tablecloth into her mouth. Silence settled in the space.Jenny soon found the footage clip depicting Jade and the client she had come to discuss the business deal with. To her surprise, there was more than one client, the other turning out to be Jade's ex-husband, Hayden Lowe.Jenny had heard much from Jade about this man, so she could recognize him from the footage. She never imagined he'd have the guts to see Jade.As the panic in her heart picked up, Jenny continued fast-forwarding the video.The client soon left the private room, leaving only Jade and Hayden within, which was strange as there wouldn't be much to discuss between the two.What happened next pretty much hit the core of Jenny's anxiety.Hayden carried Jade out from the room, who looked very mu

    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
