Jenny frowned in displeasure. "Madam, despite having 'bad manners,' I still treat everyone with respect. How about you?"She hadn't planned on getting into a fight with Christopher's parents, but Evelyn was too rude and offensive. As a guest, she didn't come to ask for favors and refused to be bullied."You!" Evelyn banged on the table and stood up as though she'd beat up Jenny, but Jenny stared her down fearlessly.Christopher finally gathered himself and hurriedly shielded Jenny. He flashed a stern look at Evelyn. "What do you think you're doing? Jenny is my guest.""She's a guest? Does she deserve to be the guest of our family?" Evelyn didn't attempt to mask her disdain and great dislike for Jenny, who had the guts to talk back to her. She thought, "If this is how she behaves before she marries Christopher, what would happen after she joins the family?"Enraged, Christopher turned to the butler at the door. "Call the guards over and kick them out!" He didn't want to see his par

Christopher hung his head. He understood everything that Jenny had explained to him, but he couldn't stop worrying.While they were waiting in silence, a family in a Bardoff City castle was discussing Jenny."Dad, Mom, did you know that Christopher brought home a woman today?" A young lady beamed as she shared the gossip with her parents. The woman who sat at the head of the table raised her brows, looking interested and surprised. "Oh? What kind of woman is she? I thought people said that Christopher wasn't interested in women."She was Rowena Glass, the matriarch of the Walter family. Seated beside her was the head of the Walter family, Graham Walter. The young lady they spoke to was their only daughter, Jolene."I heard she's from a small city, and I bet she's not up to the standard. Christopher's parents are probably strongly against that woman. Who knows? They might be in a huge fight right now."Jolene was not close to Christopher in the first place. They were acquaintance

Graham returned to Walter Castle at night after his work engagements. Rowena and Jolene were in the living room, and Jolene quickly went up to support him. "Dad, why did you get drunk again?""I'm alright." He waved at her, and she helped him to sit on the sofa. She poured him a glass of water and massaged his shoulders. "Dad, I've told you not to overwork yourself. Mom and I would feel bad." Jolene heard Rowena scoffing and quickly glared at her so that she'd shut up in case the situation ended in fights like before.Graham was patient around his daughter. "Yeah. I'll take note of it next time."Jolene mumbled unhappily to herself. Seeing that, Graham changed the topic and announced, "Harvey Spade is in the hospital. You should visit him someday."Even though he didn't specifically address anyone, it was clear that Rowena had to take charge of the visit."Okay." Rowena nodded. She had gotten wind of the news early on and would have arranged for someone to pay a visit even witho

"If you wanted to kill me, you'd do it whether I tell you or not." Jenny was clever enough not to fall for the attacker's lie. The attacker chuckled at her logical interpretation, her blade still sliding across Jenny's cheek as she contemplated her next move. "You're pretty, but you'd look better with a few scars."Jenny didn't say a word, but she scanned the room desperately to find an escape. Sadly, she was cornered under the attacker's violent domination.When the attacker raised her knife, Jenny braced herself for facial injuries, but the blade merely made a tiny cut on her neck. She felt a pang of pain and some bleeding, but it was not a serious wound. Out of Jenny's sight, the attacker collected her blood in a small tube and tucked it away before grinning at her victim. "Did you feel that everything's ending for you just now?""What do you really want?" She didn't intend to kill Jenny, for she would have acted sooner if she wanted to murder. Jenny had no idea about her ident

Jenny could tell from Alec's tone that he was green with envy. But why? He shouldn't care about her if he was into Quinn Blue. She glanced at him and, considering that he had helped her, said, "I only know that he's not on good terms with his parents."He wanted to say something but held his tongue when he saw the look in her eyes.The night ended with the group of men sent to Christopher's office without any further explanation; the plan was to have him figure it out himself.However, Christopher quickly called Jenny and was instantly up to speed. "Don't worry. I'll answer to you, and I promise I won't let this slip." He clutched his phone with one hand while holding a pen in another, almost bending the pen out of anger. Not only did Ben and Evelyn hinder him, but they also added to his troubles. Life must have been too easy for them.Jenny trusted him and didn't bring up the matter after the call. Still, she could not shake off the thought of that female attacker. She believed th
