Alec left determinedly. Jenny believed she had truly offended him this time, but she didn't care.She picked up the fork and knife to dig in but was interrupted once again by a figure who took the seat across from her. She was about to protest, thinking it was Alec, then she realized it wasn't him, but another person who would equally ruin her appetite."Dr. Walter," Faye chirped. Jenny was speechless by how she was ambushed by Alec, and now Faye. When could she eat in peace?"Miss Lawrence, please get straight to the point. I need to have my lunch." She made no attempt to mask her irritation. She didn't like that woman in the first place. Plus, she couldn't get over the fact that the Lawrences played a role in the incident, which made her trend on Twitter against her will. She was gracious enough not to tell Faye to get lost.Faye's expression crumbled a little. Her mood had been affected earlier because Alec refused to have lunch with her. When shopping with friends, she ran into

The next day, Stephanie treated Jenny to dinner as an apology for standing her up."You were always fooling around. I'm surprised to see the serious side of you after you started working," Jenny joked while sipping on juice. After the Walkers nearly went bankrupt, Stephanie officially started working at Walker Inc. That was why the two had not caught up in a while—Stephanie was too busy getting up to speed at work.Stephanie sighed defeatedly. "I don't have a choice. My dad only has a daughter. Had I not taken over, he would have sold the company for cheap.""I think it's good—you're realizing your purpose in life." Apart from the two years of marriage, Jenny had not taken any break, as her dream was to maximize her potential. Stephanie, who could never understand her ideals, said with a long face, "A workaholic like you will never get me. By the way, how are things between you and Alec?" She stared at Jenny with anticipation, ready for gossip. Jenny rolled her eyes. "What else? H

Jenny overheard the conversation among the three men and soon figured out the situation. Someone had hired these men to abduct her but wanted her assaulted, not killed. Analyzing the situation calmly, she confirmed that there were only three men around her. They were no match for her under normal circumstances. However, she recalled feeling weak and dizzy when they hauled her into the van, and she understood that she must have been drugged. Her only trip out today was for lunch with Stephanie, and the abduction happened after she left the restaurant. She concluded that she must have been drugged at the restaurant.She was focused on thinking because she was not intimidated by the three men at all. Her only goal was to find out the identity of the client who hired them.Soon, the van came to a stop, and someone reached out to lift her. She pretended that she had just woken up."Who are you? What are you doing to me?" she exclaimed, acting terrified. The icy look in her eyes was mas

At that second, a ruthless look crept into Jenny's eyes. She clutched her penknife tightly when Pip walked toward her. Once he was close enough, she could strike him down.Her plan was interrupted when Drew, who was keeping guard at the door, shouted, "Gus! There are cars."Before Gus and Pip could react, a red sports car crashed through the warehouse, followed by a black Rolls-Royce Phantom. Max and Alec emerged from their respective cars with murderous looks in their eyes, scanning the three men in front of them."Who are you?" Gus beckoned to Pip and Drew as he placed a knife on Jenny's neck, holding her hostage. He glared warily at the two intruders.Speechless, Jenny thought, "Why are they here?" She could have ambushed the three men, but with a knife on her neck, she lost the chance to make a move.Max stared at the men, amused. "Of all people, you chose to assault my dear Jenny. Do you want to go to hell?" "Free her," Alec demanded calmly, but he was burning with anger in

On their way back to the city, Max squinted at Jenny and whispered, "Are you okay?""Yes, I'm fine," she answered. After a slight pause, she emerged from her daze and added, "Thanks."He shook his head, smiling. "You don't have to thank me. I did nothing.""I'm glad that you came to save me. That itself speaks volumes." She didn't mind the fact that he hadn't done anything to help. It was decided—she owed Max a favor.As for Alec… Her expression changed at the thought of him. Since Faye was his woman, her actions implicated him too."Should I send you back to Perry Residence?" Max could tell she was in a bad mood, but he refrained from asking questions. After all, he was happy enough to see Alec upset. He could figure out the reason behind the grudge later.Jenny nodded without another word. She was thinking of revenge.…At the Lawrence Residence, Faye sat on her bed with a pale face. She panicked after she was exposed but soon forced herself to calm down."So what if Dr. Wal
