As Mr. Lawson and Jenny chatted away, Morgan watched and listened silently. Although she couldn't join the conversation, she wasn't upset at all. Soon, the clerk returned to them with the item Mr. Lawson had asked for and handed it to Jenny."This is the premium paintbrush that just arrived. Mr. Faust likes this one the most," Mr. Lawson said with a smile.Jenny nodded as she inspected it. Based on her understanding of Old Mr. Faust, things pertaining to art, such as paintbrushes and canvas, had a special place in his heart. In the past, whenever Jenny visited the Old Mansion for dinner, she would visit Mr. Lawson's store to buy something for Old Mr. Faust, which brought him great joy each time. Jenny handed the item to Morgan, saying, "Give this to him. He'll like it.""Okay." Morgan had no doubts about Jenny's decision. "How much is it?" Mr. Lawson smiled at her and jokingly said, "Money is not important.""What do you mean?" Morgan was confused."It's 108 thousand dollars

Jenny left immediately after saying that. Thinking that she was leaving in embarrassment, Yvonne felt very proud of herself. Just as she was about to say something to Alec, he approached Mr. Lawson."Mr. Lawson," he greeted him respectfully."Well, if it isn't Mr. Faust," Mr. Lawson said, glancing at him indifferently."My grandfather will be celebrating his birthday the day after tomorrow. Will you be free?" Alec didn't know if his grandfather had sent an invitation letter to Mr. Lawson, so he decided to invite him in person just in case.Mr. Lawson sat on a chair and squinted at him. "I'm a busy, old man. I don't have time to attend his party.""Mr. Lawson—""Mr. Faust, I'm running a business here." With that, Mr. Lawson instructed his staff to remove them from his premise. Before that, he had a good impression of Alec before. Now, however…His eyes landed on Yvonne. He decided a man with a girlfriend like that must have a poor eye."You—" Annoyed that Alec had been rejecte

After another upsetting encounter with Alec, Jenny considered moving out so she wouldn't run into him again. Meanwhile, Alec gave Max a call."Mr. Faust, why are you calling me so late at night? Don't tell me you're calling just to chat with me." They didn't have anything to talk about.Gripping his phone, Alec said, "I warned you to stay away from Jenny, but you won't take my words seriously, will you?""Alec, who do you think you are? Why should I take your words seriously?" Max sneered, thinking that Alec was an interesting person."Hasn't life been difficult for the past few days?" Alec asked. "Your family is eager to take you down. Now that the opportunity is presented to them, they won't let you off the hook so easily.Max gritted his teeth in silence and hatred. The Fausts were undoubtedly at the top of the food chain in Parrington. When Alec had told him that he would take action against the Pearsons, Max didn't take him seriously as he thought the Pearsons weren't too

"I assumed they wouldn't invite you," Max said with a scowl. "Was it that bastard Alec who invited you?""No, it was his grandfather," Jenny replied. "Considering my previous relationship with him, it makes sense for him to invite me, especially since I was married to Alec."Max's expression darkened. "I didn't realize you and the old man were on good terms.""Yeah, not too bad," Jenny said.The room fell silent until Max said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow. Is that alright?""That's fine," Jenny agreed, not wanting to go back on her promise.Max got up and headed toward the door, but Jenny stopped him with a question. "I've been curious about this. Why do you hold a grudge against Alec?"She had never heard of any feud between the two families. However, from Max's behavior, she could tell that something big must have happened between Alec and him, which made her curious.Max's hands trembled slightly, and a look of distress crossed his face, which made Jenny regret asking. When

The two found a table at the joint and sat down. Alec showed his dislike of the surroundings clearly on his face, causing Jenny to laugh. "You don't seem to like this environment, so why did you choose to live at Perry Residence?" she asked. "If you lived at the Faust Mansion, you wouldn't have to put up with this kind of place within ten miles."Alec didn't answer. The Faust Mansion was a private property with few people in its compounds, which was perfect for a picky person like Alec. He used to live at the Faust Mansion before he got married, but after the marriage, he didn't want to live there because Jenny was there, so he found a place near his company. However, after getting divorced, he was going to move back, but he hadn't expected to see Jenny again. Now, he wasn't sure if he still wanted to move.Jenny looked at Alec for a few seconds, then said sarcastically, "It's not easy for you. You couldn't go back home after getting married."She didn't bother hiding her sarcasm,
