Yvonne's scheme still worked in the end. Brandon let her stay after what she said, unable to let himself and anyone else think he was afraid of Jenny.Meanwhile, Jenny was sent home by Evan after dropping Stephanie off."Jen, about earlier tonight—""You should get some rest, Evan." Jenny smiled kindly. "I know what you're thinking, and I don't blame you whatsoever, so please don't worry about it."It was obvious Evan was still glum about not having run up to Jenny's rescue at the first second, but to her, it was a blessing in disguise, as she wouldn't have known how to pay back the debt if something had happened to him. As for Alec, well…"I know you don't, but I do." Evan blamed himself for not having saved Jenny before Alec did.Jenny sighed. "Can we drop this? It's in the past now. I really just want to rest for the night.""Alright then." Evan nodded. No point settling it right now when Jenny was exhausted.Jenny nodded and left his car, going back into Walter Castle.E

Blake was boiling with rage in her room. She had finally realized why Alec broke up with her—the man had seen just how little importance she held in her family, so not even breaking up with her would stop their working together.As much as Blake knew it herself, she still couldn't accept it.She had spent so many years trying to win her family's approval. A man like Alec on his way to becoming head of his family could've been her one-way ticket to gaining stronger footing in her family, but that dream had dissipated in just one night.Blake's anger rose the more she thought about it, especially how Jenny was the cause. She played a part in it too. If not for her operating on Alec, he wouldn't have recovered his memories and broken up with Blake."Just let it go, dear. Your father and your brother can handle the business world. You just focus on finding a nice young man to marry, hm?" Oblivious to Blake's train of thought, her mother could only try and console her.Blake snapped, "

As unbothered as Jenny was, she still remained polite. "Of course. You two suit each other very well."At least they wouldn't break other people's hearts now that they could break one another's. Jenny couldn't guess who would be the loser in this relationship, though. Right now, Derrick seemed the most likely, yet Jenny knew he wasn't the kind to bear losses. Who knows what he was planning already?"Let's just forget about what happened before, Dr. Walter. We'll remain as colleagues from now on. I hope you don't mind," McKenna continued.Jenny nearly rolled her eyes. "Rest assured, there has never been anything between Mr. Clearwater and me, nor will there ever be."It had all been in McKenna's head from the start.Derrick felt embarrassed though McKenna scrunched her eyebrows up, upset. "I should hope so. I wouldn't want my boyfriend to cheat on me with another woman."Jenny smiled but said nothing, thinking, "One man's trash, another man's…gold-plated trash, I guess."After

Silence enveloped the car for a moment before Jenny said, "Thank you. You can drop me off now.""Aren't you headed for the police station? I'll drive you." Alec replied, not slowing down.Jenny shook her head. "I can call a cab." She didn't want to be involved with Luke, nor did she want Alec to overthink just because she chose to leave with him.Alec still wasn't slowing down. "I know you don't feel the same way I do right now. In fact, you might even hate me. But you don't need to worry about me doing anything to you. All I'm doing is driving you to the station.""You misunderstand. I just don't want to trouble you, that's all." Jenny didn't hate Alec; she just didn't think him doing this for her right now was appropriate for their current relationship."I don't mind." Now Jenny didn't know what to say. She pursed her lips and left it at, "Alright then."If Alec insisted, there was no point insisting otherwise. It'd be silly to get into an argument over something so trivial.

Jenny was spotted by Evan the moment she walked into the restaurant. He waved her over. "Here, sit. Food's almost ready.""Sorry for making you wait." Jenny went to sit opposite Evan across the table.Evan waved her off but didn't ask her how she got there. He'd seen Alec drop her off from the restaurant windows. Evan respected Alec for being generous enough to drive Jenny over for their dinner, knowing it was with his love rival. He wouldn't have been kind enough to do that himself.The food was soon served, most of it Jenny's favorite. "Eat up while it's hot.""Don't mind if I do." Jenny had been starving since the afternoon, so she quickly helped herself to dinner."This is really good, Evan. Where'd you find this place?""I drove by a couple of times and saw they had a lot of customers, so I figured they must be doing something right. I wanted you to try it out, so here we are," Evan happily answered, passing some mashed yams to Jenny."Wow," Jenny thought. "I wouldn't hav
