Chapter 228 A Herd of Mindless Sheep
When Alec left the apartment, the sky had turned dark, He walked alone by the road. He didn’t drive,
merely walking around aimlessly.
Meanwhile, Jenny was not as calm as she had made herself out to be. She lay in bed, tossing and
turning, unable to sleep.
When news of the Dickmans’ bankruptcy spread, Jenny had just finished performing surgery. She
received the message that Gilbert had sent, as well as a copy of the information on the fashion design
company she wanted.
She looked through it carefully and changed her clothes, heading straight toward Dickman LLC, though it
shouldn’t be called that anymore.
When she arrived, Gilbert and Max were both there. They were arguing over shares, both wanting to
have the bigger slice of the pie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJenny didn’t interfere in their matters. Even if Gilbert was her brother, it was best if she kept a distance
from their affairs. But when they saw her coming, they stopped arguing. “Jenny, are you sure that you
want to succeed that design company? It’s in bad shape and in the red.”
“It’s okay. It’s still easier than building a new company from scratch.” She didn’t want to waste her time
on that, which was why she vied for the one under the Dickmans.
Gilbert didn’t question her anymore. “Alright. I’ll get someone to bring you over.”
“Okay.” She nodded.
Max spoke up, smiling. “I’ll send you there. I happen to be free.”
“You? What are you planning to do?” Gilbert frowned. Even if they were business partners, it didn’t mean
he liked Max.
Max wagged his eyebrows at him. “What am I going to do? Relax. I’m not going to bite or anything.” He
walked toward Jenny. “Let’s go.”
Jenny didn’t refuse. It didn’t matter who brought her over. She couldn’t be bothered to care about why
Max was being so friendly.
They walked out of Dickman LLC and drove toward the company.
Jenny flipped through the documents in the car. Dream Vonne Designs was founded two years ago.
They specialized in local luxury items.
Jenny frowned as she looked through the documents. First of all, she didn’t like the name. It was obvious
that Yvonne had thought of it. Second of all, they claimed to be in the luxury market, but besides the
pricing, nothing about the designs or the quality seemed luxurious. It was no wonder they were neck-
deep in debt.
She was deep in thought and didn’t notice Max looking at her.
“I hear you and Alec have fought again,” he couldn’t help saying.
Jenny looked up and turned toward him. “Who did you hear that from?”
“You don’t have to know. Just tell me if it’s true.” He didn’t need to hear it from anyone. A simple
investigation into what had happened between Paul and Stephanie would tell him everything he needed,

Jenny eyed him and said coldly. “Why don’t you think about securing your position in the Pearsons
instead of concerning yourself with us?”
She had heard that there were some shifts in the Pearson family. A few chairmen were conspiring to
make Max step down from his position. How absurd it was that he would have the time to poke his nose
into her affairs.
“They’re just a herd of mindless sheep. Why should I be afraid?” Max didn’t care. He had not thought.
anything of them at all.
Jenny scoffed lightly. “Don’t be so cocky just yet. If you don’t have the Pearsons backing you up and
upset those people, they will not let you go so easily.”
“Oh, you’re worried about me? Could this be cheating?” Max teased.
Jenny was rendered speechless. She didn’t want to speak with him anymore.
