At the dining table, Jenny was not in a good mood because of what had transpired with Alec. Meanwhile, Jolene was in a good mood. Seating between James and Brandon, she alternated between enquiring about James's well-being and putting food on Brandon's plate.

Glancing at her, Jenny wondered how stupid Jolene was exactly. Did she think both of them would be interested in her?

Jolene's actions wouldn't make James like her. In fact, they would make Brandon uncomfortable. It was a lose-lose situation. However, Jenny didn't voice her opinion. After all, Jolene and Brandon's relationship would be elevated to the next level that day.

During dinner, Brandon professed his love for Jolene before Graham and Rowena and expressed wanting to marry her. Jolene wasn't very happy, and an unpleasant expression formed on her face.

She glared at Brandon, wondering why he had to do that when James was watching. If James misunderstood, wouldn't she lose her chance with him?

"The Britt and Walter families are a good match, but it depends on what Jolene thinks," Graham said. He had no objections; it all depended on Jolene.

Of course, Jolene was unwilling to marry Brandon, but she couldn't make it too obvious. Otherwise, Brandon might get angry and say nasty things that might not favor her situation.

She made eye contact with Rowena, who quickly caught her cue and said, "My little Jolene is still young. I'm not ready to marry her off so soon. Why don't you consider Jenny? She's my daughter too and is at the right age for marriage."

Brandon and Graham's faces fell as soon as she said that.

Snorting, Graham said, "Jenny isn't in a hurry, and I have other plans for her."

This time, Rowena's face fell. "You have made plans for Jenny but not for Jolene?"

His favoritism was blatant. Clearly, he wanted Jolene to marry so that there would be room for Jenny. There was no way Rowena would allow Graham to have his way.

"Jolene is not young anymore." Everyone present understood the meaning behind his words.

Jolene's face turned pale, and Rowena didn't look good either. However, they didn't want to make a scene since Brandon and James were there.

After the meal, Rowena left Walter Castle, but not before giving Jenny a fierce look. It seemed that she blamed everything on her.

Although Jenny was innocent, she didn't bother arguing with Rowena. She was waiting for Rowena to take action against her. If she didn't, where would Jenny get her evidence? Little did Jenny know, it would nearly cost her her life.

Jenny and James remained in the living room while Jolene and Brandon headed out. Although Jenny saw them walking toward the garden, she didn't disturb them as she figured it wasn't a good time. "Your father and I have already started to take action against the Glasses. I reckon they will have a few rough days ahead of them," James said, trying to make small talk with Jenny. Jenny nodded and hummed. "It's no rush. Take it slow."

After knowing Alec was fine, she wasn't anxious any longer. Although she hadn't found out who had attacked Alec, it was probably not the Glasses. Judging from the actions of the Fausts, it was probably someone from their side. However, she didn't know who.

But what did it have to do with her? Since Alec had made his stance clear, why did she bother worrying about it? Jenny decided not to pay attention to anything related to Alec.
