"You should go back to Bardoff City." Paul's voice sounded behind Jenny, and she turned back to look at him, surprised. "There's no point staying here," he said, making Jenny frown.She looked at him. "This is my business."She didn't think they were close enough for her to heed his suggestions."Idiot," Paul said. "Alec's been targeted for murder. It's obvious that he's wronged someone and that someone is not from Parrington."These past two days, he had gone over Parrington with a fine-toothed comb. It was definitely not someone from Parrington. The only other possibility was someone from Bardoff City."I don't know whose anger he invoked in Bardoff City. But you should know. I want you to investigate things clearly when you're back," Paul said. Jenny was about to speak, but he continued. "There's no sign of Alec here. That means he might not be dead. He might have been taken away. If you find them, you might be able to rescue him."It was not impossible. What if their motives

Graham raised an eyebrow. He could sense Jenny's grim tone. "What happened?""You wouldn't have hurt Alec, would you?" She looked straight at Graham, not giving him a chance to escape.Graham was stunned for a moment. He probably wasn't expecting her to ask such a question. He was silent for a while before smiling bitterly, saying, "So, something has happened to Alec, and now you're suspecting me?"Jenny said nothing. Her silence was enough of an answer.Graham felt bitter. He had no idea how Jenny viewed him, but one thing was for sure; she had placed absolutely no trust in him. However, she was asking him this question outright. Could she be giving him a chance?"It was not my doing," Graham said. "Although I don't wish for you to be together, I wouldn't hurt him because of this."Most importantly, he didn't want Jenny to hate him.For whatever reason, Jenny's guard instantly lowered when she heard Graham's words. She believed him. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to be sure. I didn'

Jolene was indignant when she was refused. "Why can Jenny go, but I can't?""Jenny is there to talk about serious matters," Graham said truthfully. He hoped that Jolene would not make a fuss.But Jolene would not hear of it. She merely thought Graham was displaying his favoritism, intending to introduce James to Jenny without regard for her feelings."I don't care. I want to go." She pulled at Graham's arm. She didn't want to miss this opportunity.Graham frowned, expressing his displeasure. "You're not a child anymore, Jolene. Don't be insolent."Since Jenny showed up, Graham had been learning to be a good father. Even if he felt displeased, he didn't act in anger.Unfortunately, Jolene didn't know that. "You're picking favorites, Dad. You stopped caring about me ever since Jenny showed up."Graham didn't retort. It was the truth."We're both your daughters. Can't you treat us fairly?" Jolene asked, still holding out her fantasies.What if her dad was just being silly at the

"Relax. She has married into my family and is now part of the Walters. I will not let her affect our cooperation." Graham knew of James' concerns, so he said them out loud to avoid any doubt between them in the future. He never really liked Rowena, much less the Glasses.Before he inherited the Walters, the Glasses had bullied and tormented him relentlessly. He was merely paying them back for all they did.James understood. He nodded. "With our forces, it would be hard to take down all of the Glasses, though not impossible.""I feel the same way." Graham nodded. It would be no easy feat. Although the Glasses did not compare to them, they were still one of the Ten Elites. They would not be easily destroyed.Jenny grew confident when they said that it was possible. "It's okay. We can take our time taking them down bit by bit.""Let's talk about how we're going to do it, Mr. Walter." James was intrigued by their mission. He was no longer in the mood to exchange formalities with Jenny

Jenny thought that the conversation would end. To her surprise, Graham continued, "Now that Jolene has reached such an important milestone in her life, what about you?""What about me? I'm a divorcee. I'm not in a hurry," Jenny replied, chuckling. Marriage was not on her mind at the moment. There was also Alec in the equation. At the thought of him, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.As if he could read her mind, Graham said, "I know that you and Alec are very close, but I still stand by my view that you two are incompatible. James, on the other hand, is a good fit for you. Be it his family background or his personality, he's excellent in all aspects. Why don't you give that a thought?"When Jenny wasn't around, James told him he liked Jenny and hoped that Graham could help him. It so happened that Graham was worried about Jenny's love life, and he was also pleased that James met all his criteria. Hence, he had no reason to refuse James's request.With a frustrated sigh, she s
