Jenny didn't mind it at all. Once the man left, she asked Joey, "How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable?""I'm… I'm fine," he said, giving her a feeble smile. His face flushed slightly.When facing his father, he could be cold, but with Jenny, he felt a little embarrassed."Tell me if there are any problems. I'm the doctor in charge of you," she said.Joey nodded. He was then reminded of something and instantly looked upset. "I… I don't have the money to pay for the medical bills."He had heard that the doctor before him was famous, and that the surgery would not come cheap. He was just a child. There was no way he could afford it. Mr. Little had said those things because he knew Joey had no money—he had no means to pay for his education and livelihood, let alone the hospital. He expected Joey to come begging. "It's okay. The hospital has medical aid. You don't have to worry about it. Just lie back and rest." Jenny's heart couldn't help aching when she saw him like this. Altho

Since he had worded it this way, Jenny felt the need to clear things up.She looked at him and said calmly, "I think that someone like you, Mr. Pearson, does not need me to be your friend."She was still calling him Mr. Pearson. It was obvious that she was distancing herself from him.Max's face shifted. Before he could speak, Jenny continued, "I don't want to be involved with your grudge against Mr. Faust. So once this meal is over, we'll call it even."In other words, she didn't want to see him anymore.Max knew what she meant. He looked extremely unpleasant. "Are you sure? Upsetting me in Parrington is not a good decision to make.""Now you're taking it the wrong way. I don't want to upset you. I just don't want to be used like a chess piece," she said, smiling. "Mr. Faust and I aren't close at all. I don't understand the hatred between you two. So why are you dragging me into it?" She couldn't figure it out at all.Max stared at her. She didn't look like she was lying.Afte

Max dropped Jenny off in front of Perry Residence. Jokingly, he asked, "Aren't you going to let me in?""Probably not," she refused. "It's late. You should get some rest, Mr. Pearson.""Max," he reminded her."Max." She didn't argue. She didn't care what she called him. It didn't matter, anyway.Max nodded in satisfaction and opened his door. "Go home, then. You should rest, too."Jenny got out quickly and walked into the condominium, disappearing from his sight.Max was in no hurry to leave, leaning against his car and lighting a cigarette. He raised his wrist to look at the time and smirked. "He's probably coming soon."Right as he said that, a car sped over. It was the same black car that he had seen before.His smirk grew wider. "He's fast."The car stopped in front of him. Alec stepped out with a dark look on his face. "Are you done?""What do you mean, Mr. Faust? I don't understand," Max said. He looked extremely punchable to Alec."Is that so?" Alec smiled. "It seems

He suddenly remembered the last time he went to the Old Mansion. When Warren said someone had come, Alec assumed it was Faye. Now it seemed… that it was Jenny.In a flash, he thought of what Jenny had said about not liking people named Faust, that her ex-husband was named Faust, and that he had never once seen her in two years.He hadn't understood what Stephanie had said before, but now he did.The signs were all there. He had just never thought to think of things from that perspective.He hadn't noticed the call had ended. And he didn't know how he had managed to walk to Jenny's door.He raised his arm, prepared to knock, but he simply couldn't find the courage.…The next day, Jenny prepared to leave for work.She lowered her head and noticed the ash at the foot of the door. She remarked, "Which ignorant fool was this, scattering smoke ash at my door."Alec opened his door and froze. It was only when Jenny walked into the elevator that he rushed in, taking the same elevator

Faye clearly understood his reasons, but she wanted to bring up the topic of the fines anyway. However, he shut her down by saying, "Thankfully, he only got slapped with a fine. As long as he returns the amount he owes and gets his financial house in order, he won't go to jail."She bit her lips and mumbled slowly, "But the fines are hefty. My dad… can't pay the fines."He frowned at her admission and shot her a glance. "It's just a few hundred million. How could Lawrence Solutions not afford that?""My dad…""Faye, you're an adult. Have a mind of your own, and don't listen to everything your dad claims," he cut her off in displeasure, which gave her the jitters. That was the first time he had spoken to her harshly in many years."I got it, Alec. I'll keep out of this and leave it to my dad." She knew that the more she asked for Alec's help, the more he would dislike her. To her, Alec was more important than her parents or Lawrence Solutions.However, she was reminded of the conve
