Chapter 157 Who?

Jenny grew up in Orchid Village. She had grown up there for as long as she could remember, and

everything there was familiar to her.

As a child, she started to learn various skills. However, she didn’t learn them from school but from the

teachers in the village. She always thought that her teachers were amazing as they knew everything.

Back then, she didn’t think it was strange. She thought children in other villages all grew up the same

way.

She eventually matured into an adult, studied in Parrington, earned her master’s and doctorate degrees,

and married Alec. The more she learned, the more Orchid Village seemed off to her.

Every teacher in the village who taught her was a master of their craft. For example, Mr. Birkett was a

famous painter. However, he stayed in that village just to be her teacher. There had to be a reason, but

Jenny didn’t know why.

She had asked her grandfather before but didn’t get an answer. All he told her was not to think too much,

and she would know the answer when the time was right.

“Jenny?”

Alec didn’t wait for Jenny to reply. Seeing her lost in thought, he couldn’t help but shake her out of it.

After coming to her senses, Jenny looked at him. “My grandfather hired a lot of teachers for me since I

was a child. Hence, although I grew up in the countryside, I know a lot of things.”

She didn’t go into the specifics as she didn’t want too many people to know how strange her life in

Orchid Village had been.

“Wow, your grandfather was very kind to you.” All of Jenny’s teachers were extraordinary people.

Jenny chuckled lightly before playfully saying, “Well, now that I’m an adult, I feel that way, but as a kid, I

remember thinking he was too strict.”

Reflecting on her childhood, Jenny realized she had experienced little joy. Every day, she ran back and

forth between different teachers’ homes without any time to rest.

Reluctant to study, she had complained to her grandfather, but it was to no avail. However, thinking

about it in the present, he must have done it for her own good.

“That’s true.” Alec nodded in agreement. “I was also forced to learn this and that by my grandfather when

I was young, and I even ran away from home once.”

*Really?” Jenny was surprised. “Well, I’ve never done that.”

They laughed as they chatted, sharing a peaceful conversation for the first time since they met.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Jenny went to open the door, and she was

not surprised to see Vincent.

“Vincent.”

“Miss Walter.” Vincent nodded at her, trying to suppress his urge to find out what exactly was going on

between Jenny and Alec. “Is Mr. Faust here?”

Alec had informed him that he was at Jenny’s house. Hence, Vincent deliberately waited downstairs for

more than 30 minutes before coming upstairs, just to give Alec ample time to do whatever he wanted.

“Yes.” Jenny stepped aside, revealing Alec in the living room.

Alec got up and walked to the door, saying to Jenny, “Goodnight. Sorry for disturbing you.”

”

“It’s fine.” Jenny shook her head. After getting acquainted with him, Alec didn’t seem as annoying as he

had been at the start.

“See you later.” Alec walked out of Jenny’s apartment before turning back to say, “If you need anything.

come to me immediately.”

Jenny was surprised for a moment before answering, “Okay.”

Taking the key from Vincent, Alec headed to his apartment.

Jenny’s expression turned solemn after she closed the door. She was not a fool. She knew Alec didn’t

return to Faust Mansion because he didn’t want to worry the old man, but also because he wanted to

protect her in Perry Residence.

It made her wonder. Who exactly were those people?
