The next morning, the wonderful smell of breakfast wafted from the kitchen as Jenny left her bedroom. The only person who would've come by so early to cook for her was Alec. Was he here?Jenny went to the kitchen, and to her surprise, she found Morgan at the stove."Morning, Jenny. Breakfast's ready." Morgan switched off the stove, plating bacon and eggs.Jenny stared at her in surprise. "You know how to cook?""Mhm." Morgan nodded. It wasn't a big deal to her.Jenny, meanwhile, grew gloomy. Why did it seem like everyone around her knew how to cook but her? Why didn't her grandfather hire a chef to teach her when she was young?They were about to eat when the doorbell rang. Morgan instantly got up. "I'll get it."When she opened the door, she saw Alec standing coolly outside. "M-Mr. Faust?" Morgan asked in surprise. Why was he here? Hadn't he divorced Jenny already? Were they…getting back together?Seeing it wasn't Jenny, Alec frowned. "Why are you here?"Morgan was about to

On the way to the Goldings' villa, Jenny received a phone call from the police telling her Miller had been charged in court and that the judgment would be released soon. Jenny was pleased with it, as she didn't want the man harassing his son.She stepped out of the car with Morgan when they reached the large villa. They were greeted warmly, likely to be the result of Morgan telling them what had happened.Jenny and Morgan's parents went to the study to discuss the investments while Morgan stayed in the living room. She didn't know much about such goings-on, after all.An hour later, the three left the study. Morgan guessed the discussion ended well on account of the smiles on her parents' faces. She relaxed instantly. Finally, they would be rid of the bankruptcy rumor."Thank you, Jenny." Morgan nearly bowed to her. She really didn't know what to do to repay this favor.Jenny smiled and waved a contract in her face. "It was a contractual agreement, not a gift."Plus, she benefite

The two happily ate dinner, enjoying each other's company."Had a busy day?" Jenny asked, sneaking a peek at Alec's desk filled with mountains of documents. She felt bad. He always seemed so relaxed and unbothered around her, even cooking for her sometimes. Turns out he was actually really occupied at work.Alec nodded. "Yeah. Company's going through a peak period."He didn't tell her about what was strange with work lately. It seemed like someone was directing all the chaos hurtling at his company. But without any evidence of who it was, he had decided not to tell Jenny first in case she worried."You really don't need any help with the Goldings?" Alec asked.Jenny shook her head and swiftly took out the contract she had signed earlier. "Everything's settled."Alec read the contract, then smiled. "Not bad. I thought you were gonna give it all without taking anything in return." The contract stipulated clearly that Jenny would get 40% of the Golding company's shares in exchange

Jenny couldn't exclude that possibility. She tried to console herself. People had exes, even her—it was normal. But the fear that she might just be a substitute terrified her. Jenny hated how fragile she felt. It had never been like this before she got into this relationship. She couldn't stop imagining what Alec was up to when he wasn't spending time with her.Did he still talk to that other woman?She even considered asking Alec who that woman was and whether she was just her substitute. She stopped herself every time, pretending nothing had happened. Every day that she worked, she pushed these doubts from her mind. But Alec only got busier and busier with work, increasing her anxiety."Hey Steph, wanna grab lunch together?" Jenny finally called Stephanie. She needed to find someone to vent to before she lost her mind.Stephanie was already waiting for her at the café, and she immediately noticed the weird look on Jenny's face."What happened? You don't look okay. Have you bee

Mortimer Faust's expression was equally ugly. Being called dead by one's own son was not an easy thing to go through. He was about to argue when Old Mr. Faust yelled, "Don't you dare talk! If you had been here for Alec, he wouldn't be so upset with you!"Mortimer winced and said gently, "Dad, things were complicated back then. I didn't have a choice.""Didn't have a choice?" Alec sneered. "What terrible situation would've made you abandon your wife, I wonder!""I…" Mortimer tried to retort but couldn't find anything to say."Where's your whore now, hm? Abandoned her too?" Alec hissed."She died." Mortimer sighed, sadness lingering in his eyes.Alec couldn't be more pissed off than he was right now. "So you come crawling back only after your mistress dies?! I should kick you out right now, you fucking—""Alec Faust, I am your father!" Mortimer roared.Alec sneered. "My father. Is. Dead." No way was he going to accept this man as his father now.Old Mr. Faust hurriedly stopped
