Marigold was most afraid of Paul since she was a child. Under his scrutiny, she tensed up and held her breath. "Killing her wasn't my plan." She lowered her gaze and dodged his eyes."Not your plan? But the speed at which you charged at me seemed to say otherwise. You didn't look like you would spare me." Jenny was slightly terrified after she checked the surveillance footage of the incident. Had it not been for Alec's timely appearance, she could've lost her life.Marigold wanted to retort but held her tongue when she sensed Paul's sharp gaze. "I planned to brake the car right in front of you as a scare. But the brake wasn't working, and that scared the heck out of me as well.""Do you think that sounds believable?" Jenny stared at Marigold in disbelief. Marigold gritted her teeth. If Paul weren't around, she wouldn't have wasted her time responding to Jenny's interrogation. "Believe it or not, it's all up to you. I never intended to kill you," she scoffed and lay back on the bed

Alec was worried that the deal would fall apart, and he advised Jenny, "Take the factory and let this slide. It won't affect how you protect Stephanie later."In his opinion, protecting Stephanie was tangent to the factory deal in exchange for Marigold's freedom. No one would agree to such conditions—not even himself. Therefore, he knew that Paul would never agree to both requests.Jenny thought it through and agreed with Alec. What mattered most was to secure the immediate benefit. Instead of hoping that Paul would keep his promise to stay away from Stephanie, Jenny believed it was wiser to grow her power so she could better protect her friend."Alright. I'll get the factory, and Marigold gets her freedom." She nodded and sealed the deal. Worried that Paul might walk back on his words, she quickly had him draft an agreement. After they signed it, she finally allowed him to leave the hospital with Marigold.Alec walked Paul to the hospital entrance. "It's just a factory. Don't take

At that moment, Jenny shone brightly in Alec's eyes. He stared at her admiringly for some time. "Jenny." Feeling touched and excited, he asked, "Does that mean you're willing to be my girlfriend?" "No." To his disappointment, she shook her head. She added, "I need more time for observation." His eyes lit up, and he grinned. "Sure. I can wait." As long as she was working toward accepting his feelings, he could afford to wait. Jenny changed the topic and brought up the factory, "I will have someone draft a new agreement and get it delivered to you. You'll own 40% of the shares, just like before." "I don't need that many shares. 10% is enough for me," he replied. He no longer turned down her offer, but he refused to accept all the shares. Seeing her frown, he explained, "You deserve the factory. It was Marigold who wanted to take your life. You're worth more than the factory." If Paul were not a friend, Alec would have gotten everyone in the Wagner Family to make it up to Jenn

Standing outside the room with an insulated food container in her hand, Jenny listened to Alec's words. She felt glad and conflicted at the same time, not knowing whether to enter the room. After listening to what Alec had to say, Old Mr. Faust's expression sank, and he fell silent for a long time. "Do you still want to be with her even if it would cost your life?" he sounded distant and unhappy. Alec nodded without hesitation. "Yes." Old Mr. Faust gave him a long look and finally sighed in defeat. "Whatever. Do what you want." Alec heaved a sigh of relief after his grandfather yielded. "Grandpa, you don't have to worry. I'm not that weak. I can protect Jenny and myself." Underneath Old Mr. Faust's silence, he had come up with a plan. He couldn't afford to wait, for no one would know how long it'd take for the family in Bardoff City to discover Jenny's existence. She might be in greater trouble if her birth family's enemies found out about her before anyone else. Old Mr. Fa

Jenny dodged his question and asked instead, "Aren't you going to speak up for her?" "I gave her one last chance when she framed you for the murder." Alec looked frigid. "Even if you don't do anything against her this time, I will not let this slip." Somehow, her heart fluttered with joy when she heard his promise. She said, "We'll need to go against the Blooms to deal with her." She had a rough idea of what to do but had not found a loophole yet. "The Blooms…" Alec muttered, "They're definitely not an easy target. Remember, they're old money in Parrington with hundreds of years of history and lots of connections. It will be complicated." Even Alec dared not guarantee that he could ostracize the Blooms in Parrington. However, in the event that he wanted to make a move, he'd have to get rid of the Blooms once and for all. Else, he would be planting a ticking time bomb for the future. "That's why I'm still thinking hard." Jenny had no bad blood with the Blooms, and her actions
