Alec was somewhat surprised by the seriousness of her question. He gave it some serious thought for several minutes.After what seemed like a year, he met Jenny's gaze again. "I like how dedicated you are and how strong you make yourself be. I like everything about you."The first time Alec had seen her, she was tending to a patient. The patient hadn't believed in her skill and had called for the hospital director to vouch for her. Alec had stepped in to vouch for her instead. He hadn't thought much of it at first—he just wanted to plant a good impression since he also wanted Jenny to operate on him.But things escalated so quickly after they met. He never imagined that he would fall in love with her. Only after all the time they had spent together did he realize he had fallen for her the moment he got to know her."I'm not as nice a person as you say I am, you know," Jenny huffed. She wasn't a saint."That's alright. All that matters is that I think you are," Alec beamed. Jenny w

Graham couldn't deduce what kind of relationship Jenny had with these women. He just had a strong feeling that theirs was very different from her uncle's. However, he didn't think much of it and pulled out a pouch of cash bills from his pocket. He had prepared it beforehand and handed it to Felicity."A token of my gratitude. For the young one's future." He hadn't prepared anything for Hannah. Granted, it would be strange if he did.Felicity beamed, greedily eyeing the thick pouch. "It must be loaded with cash," she thought. Before she could take the pouch, it was snatched away.Beside them, Jenny opened the newly-acquired pouch and peered inside. "What are you…" Graham asked, confused.There were at least ten thousand dollars in there. Sure, it wasn't much to Graham, but Jenny wasn't about to let her cousin have it so easily. She pulled out two hundred dollars and shoved it to Felicity. "Here. That's about how much our relationship is worth, anyway.""Jenny…" Graham was about

Jenny and Graham had lunch with David and his family, ignoring Hannah and Felicity's bickering. Afterward, they left Orchid Village and went back to Parrington.Jenny's plans were nearly complete. All she had to do now was make sure to successfully rescue Stephanie.Paul hadn't restricted her personal freedom nor stopped her from using her phone, but Jenny hadn't called Stephanie even once to keep Paul clueless about her plans.After dropping her father off, Jenny went to the Walker family home to meet Stephanie's parents."Mr. Walker, Mrs. Walker," Jenny greeted. The husband and wife seemed much more tired than they had ever been."Is everything ready, Jenny?" The two asked her eagerly. "Can Stephanie leave with us now?""Mhm. That's what I'm here for, actually." She knew the two had waited for a long time for their daughter's rescue.Though Stephanie didn't seem that restrained from her personal freedom, nor did Paul stop her from visiting her family, Stephanie had never done

Outside the mansion, Mortimer quietly followed behind Alec, dispirited."Are you happy now?" he asked, no longer having the energy to be angry. There was no point. Alec wouldn't be affected either way.Alec stopped and looked back at him. "You're blaming me for seeing through your crimes? Even wild beasts look after their young. What does that make you?"Mortimer's expression stiffened momentarily. "I never intended for anything to happen to you. I only wanted to set a safe path for your brother's future.""Brother? I don't have a brother," Alec sneered. He was his mother's only son. She never had any more children after."Deny it all you want, Alfred is your brother." Mortimer insisted, ignoring his son's denial. Alec's face grew shadowed with killing intent. "If I were you, I'd make sure both you and your son stay the hell away from this family. Do you really think I won't lay my hands on the both of you? Think I'm that kind?""You—""I'm warning you now. Once things are set

Stephanie shuddered just the slightest when she heard Jenny's name. "Really? When did she come back? She never told me.""She's one of the Bardoff City Ten Elites now," Paul scoffed, ecstatic that Stephanie might never see Jenny again. "She might've forgotten all about you."Stephanie hummed quietly, though she knew deep in her heart that Jenny would never do that.Paul wrapped his arms around her. "Don't worry. Unlike her, I'd never ever leave you behind.""Really?" Stephanie asked.Paul didn't answer, choosing to respond with his actions instead.…The next morning, sunlight filtered into the room and brought life to the mess of sheets and limbs on the bed. Stephanie opened her eyes. The space on the bed where Paul had been was already cold. He must've left for work.She got up and showered, put on some makeup, then started packing her things.She really hadn't known Jenny had come back to Parrington. But the moment she did, she knew her time to leave had come.Stephanie lo
