Chapter 544 Am I Prejudiced?

Despite wanting to stay, James left Jenny's room out of consideration of her injuries and recovery. After he left, she

finally returned the missed calls on her phone. First on her list was Jade, followed by Graham. She informed them

that her phone had died but did not bring up the topic of her injuries. She hid the truth from Jade because Jade

would be worried, and she didn't tell Graham because nothing would come out of it.

At this moment, she had no evidence pointing to Rowena and Jolene. If she blindly accused the two in front of

Graham, he might think she was up to no good just to bring them down.

She needed sufficient evidence to show Graham the true face of Rowena and Jolene, for she wanted him to deal

with them with his own hands. That was the main reason she refused James' help. Only by showing Graham the

true colors of his wife and daughter would he be disappointed in them.

After responding to all the missed calls, no.velxo she finally got to Alec. She was kept waiting for a long time before

he picked up.

"Were you looking for me?" she asked, wondering if he had seen the gossip online.

On the other end, Alec was staring at the news about Jenny and James on his computer. His eyes pierced through

the photos with a profound look in his eyes. "Yeah. Why was your phone turned off?" he asked, holding back the

anger inside him.

After some consideration, she decided not to tell him about the attack. He'd be worried if he learned about it, and

there was no guarantee that he wouldn't go up against Rowena and Jolene.

She made up an excuse instead and changed the topic of the conversation. "Why did you look for me?"

"Nothing much," he replied.

"Okay."

There was a short silence between them as they tiptoed around their words. Noticing the awkward shift in the air,

she blurted out, "Have you seen the news online?"

"Mm," he grunted. no.velxo He knew that he should trust Jenny. Moreover, since they weren't dating anymore, he

didn't have the right to grill her over her private life.

"The netizens are making things up. He's my senior from school, and you knew it too," she clarified.

Of course, Alec knew James' relation to Jenny, but that only upset him more. He could tell that James was interested

in her, and the two were growing uncomfortably close to each other by the day. Moreover, James was part of the

Windsor family, making him the perfect partner for Jenny with his social status.

In the past, Alec had scoffed at the concept of a good match in relationships, but he finally had a taste of inferiority

when he fell victim to it.

Jenny was rather unhappy at his silence. "Did you really think that I'm involved with him?" She was overcome with

an unexplainable disappointment. She hadn't planned to pick a fight with Alec for not noticing that she had fainted

in the photos-she even wanted to explain the situation to him. To her dismay, he suspected that she was involved

with James.

"I trust you, but I don't trust him," Alec muttered.

A little furious, Jenny chuckled loudly at his answer.no.velxo "Alec Faust, you should not judge others with prejudice.

There's nothing between James and me-you're overthinking.’

"Am I prejudiced?" Now, Alec was unhappy as well. He definitely didn't overthink when he suggested the obvious

fact of James being interested in Jenny. He fully trusted his intuition when he examined James' behavior from a

man's perspective, which was usually accurate.

"Aren't you?" Jenny was angry and amused at the same time. "You've been staring at that photo for a while. Did you

notice that I had lost consciousness in the photo? I thought you would trust me even if you overlooked that detail

that would've shown you I was attacked. Looking back, perhaps I was too trusting of you."
