"She's Jenny Walter. A friend of mine." Christopher introduced her without elaborating, not wanting Alexandra to know too much.A friend?A woman's intuition was always accurate. Alexandra could tell from the look in Christopher's eyes that he treated Jenny differently. Although they weren't doing anything out of line, she felt threatened."Hello, I am Christopher's girlfriend, Alexandra." Alexandra reached out her hand to Jenny and smiled sweetly.Although Jenny was surprised that Christopher had a girlfriend, she didn't ask any questions. She felt it was good that he had a girlfriend around him so he wouldn't be too sad.She reached out and shook hands with Alexandra. "Hello.""Christopher's friend is my friend too. Let's hang out together in the future," Alexandra said.Jenny nodded and said, "Then I'll go first.""Okay." Christopher nodded and watched her leave.After she left, Alexandra looked at Christopher and asked, "She's from the Walter family, right?"There weren't
Rural villages often had no internet connection, and little was known about it, making it difficult for anyone outside to find information. It made Jenny think that Lynette might have come from a rural village.If that really was the case, it would be difficult to find Lynette."There's no way your mother is from some rural village," Graham said confidently. Jenny remained silent, waiting for him to continue. "Although she has not specifically told me about her family, given her behavior and how she recognized various brands, she should be from a well-to-do family."He remembered that he had given Lynette many things, including some famous brands and even some expensive but niche brands, but Lynette could recognize them all, which proved that she had exposure to those things."If that's the case, there is only one possibility." Someone was hiding Lynette's identity, which made it impossible for them to find her.Graham turned solemn as he knew anyone who could do that had to hav
Hugo didn't care."How dare you delay the divorce just because you're hospitalized? How much time would it take for you to sign the papers? I think you just don't want to leave and want to keep spending my family's money!""Hugo!" Helga was exasperated, and her chest was heaving violently. "How much of your money have I spent? How can you be so heartless?"She only spent the money she earned and hadn't spent a single dime while staying in the hospital. How could he say such things without betraying his conscience?"Don't get too worked up." Jenny walked over to calm Helga down. She looked at Hugo and said coldly, "Given her current condition, she cannot be discharged. Are you willing to be responsible if something happens to her?""What can happen? I think you're just taking her side." Hugo muttered softly. He was not as harsh toward Jenny as with Helga, but he still wasn't polite to her.Helga was so furious that she began coughing violently. Jenny knew that things couldn't go
Hugo never imagined Helga would dare talk to him like that.Pointing at her, he shouted, "Fine, woman! Before this, you pretended like you didn't want anything, but now you are fighting me on this. What can you do to me if I don't give in?""If you don't give in, I won't agree to the divorce!" Helga sneered. Anyway, she wasn't the one who was in a hurry.Hearing her say that, Hugo was furious. "No way! We must divorce!""If you want a divorce, give me the savings!" Helga now understood that she had no reason to give Hugo's mistress any advantage. How could she and her daughter live if she gave them everything?Hugo's face turned red with anger, but he still had no intention of agreeing. Jenny couldn't stand it any longer and said to him, "Hugo, even if you look past the fact that Helga has been your wife for many years, you should still think of your child. She is still young. Can you bear to let her live in poverty? She calls you 'dad.' The savings is not much for you. You still
After sending Helga back to the hospital and ensuring she was fine, Jenny left the ward. It was already time to get off work, and she remembered that she had made plans to have dinner with Stephanie, Leonard, and Alec that evening. Since she planned it, she couldn't be late.She hurriedly packed her things and headed out of the hospital. Alec was already waiting for her at the entrance."Dr. Walter, please get in the car." Alec waved to her, calling her Dr. Walter on purpose.Jenny glanced at him but didn't comment on it. "Come on, let's head to the restaurant.""Okay." Alec nodded, opening the passenger door for Jenny before getting into the driver's seat. The car pulled away, and the two departed from the hospital.Across the hospital entrance, Evan sat in his car, looking in the direction they had gone for a long time without moving."We suffered heavy losses this time. Almost none of the people we brought back from overseas are left. We're in big trouble," Howard Young said,
Jenny and Alec had chosen the restaurant and had already taken their seats. They were waiting for Stephanie and Leonard to arrive."By the way, did Leonard agree to come?" Jenny suddenly remembered to ask Alec. If Leonard didn't, their efforts would have been in vain.Alec glanced at her and chuckled helplessly, "Do you have so little confidence in me? Do you think I can't handle him?"Although Leonard had an unyielding personality and was not easily manipulated by others, Alec understood men to a certain extent.In terms of interests, Alec offered something Leonard would find hard to refuse. In terms of romance, Stephanie was there, giving him less reason to refuse Alec's invitation.Just then, Leonard appeared at the entrance of the restaurant. To Jenny's surprise, Stephanie arrived with him. The sight of them made Jenny smile instantly, wondering if it was fate that they came at the same time.Jenny waved at the two of them, gesturing for them to come over and sit down. Stepha
Leonard smiled as he took a sip from his glass. "Do you really need to ask that, Mr. Faust?" Alec returned his smile. If it wasn't for Paul, he would think that Leonard and Stephanie were quite suitable for each other. He sighed inwardly and worried about Paul. How could he deal with such a strong competitor?"Mr. Faust, why don't we talk about our cooperation?" He was unfamiliar with Alec and didn't want to talk to him about Stephanie. Alec regained his composure and began explaining the cooperation he had in mind.Meanwhile, in the restroom, Stephanie was annoyed with Jenny. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Jenny asked, a little puzzled."What are you trying to do? Why did you ask Leonard so many questions?" Stephanie pretended to be displeased. Although she knew that Jenny meant no harm, asking so many questions on their first meeting was inappropriate. Although they had met at the police station before, this was their first proper meeting.Jenny's grin grew wider, and
Jenny and Stephanie returned to the dining table to see Leonard and Alec chatting happily. It seemed that their cooperation was going well.Jenny turned to look at Stephanie. She didn't get an answer to her question when she asked Stephanie whether she still liked Paul. Stephanie said she didn't know.Although she had rejected that man many times, she would occasionally think of him and couldn't let go of their past as easily as she had imagined. It didn't seem right if she said she didn't have any feelings for him."Stephanie," Leonard called. He was sitting opposite her, looking at her. "What are you thinking about?"He noticed that Stephanie's gaze drifted off, and she didn't react when he helped her with the food."Huh? Nothing," Stephanie said, feeling a bit embarrassed. There was no way she could admit that she had been thinking about Paul."If there's anything I can help with, let me know. Don't be shy," Leonard said. They weren't close to each other, even though they were
