Chapter 772 Call Off the Engagement?

Jenny agreed with Evan's logic. A family as wealthy as the Glasses would not possibly be

unprepared for crises.

"Don't worry about it. Mr. Walter will take care of the problem.’ He understood her concern

and offered some words of comfort. She nodded without a word and would rather not fret

over those headache-inducing issues.

They dropped the discussion about the Glasses. A short silence later, Evan casually asked,

’Have you checked out Alec Faust's patient record?'

"Yeah." She nodded but didn't dwell on the case.

"How's his condition? Are you confident in handling his case?" he prodded.

She placed her cutlery on the table and mulled before answering, "50%? His hematoma is

causing pressure on the nerves. There's still a huge risk."

"Why did you agree to perform the surgery, then? If the surgery fails, the Fausts might find

trouble with you." In the days after Evan came home, he researched the Ten Elites of

Bardoff City and learned that the Fausts were at the top of the ranks. Hence, he was rather

concerned about Alec's surgery.

She flashed him a smile. "I don't care which family he belongs to. Since he's here to ask

for help, and I have agreed to operate on him, he will be my patient from now on. I have

no good reason to turn him away." The reason she practiced as a doctor was to save lives.

She would be going against her principles if she rejected Alec's request.

"You haven't changed at all." Evan wasn't surprised at her reply; he knew it was hard for

her to say no. He didn't press on further, even if he was unsure and confused about

Jenny's feelings toward Alec. The question would be meaningless anyway. It'd be great if

Jenny didn't have feelings for Alec; he'd stand a better chance at winning her heart.

However, if the opposite were true, he would not easily give up on pursuing her either.

He heard from Gilbert that Alec had hurt Jenny majorly. With this knowledge, he decided

not to let Jenny repeat her mistakes.

After lunch, Jenny had to return to work in the afternoon, and Evan had no choice but to

leave.

Meanwhile, James was called in for a meeting at the Windsor Manor, where his parents

resided. He entered the living room and saw his parents there. They immediately invited

him to take a seat.

"What's the matter?" He refused to engage in small talk and went straight to the topic. His

parents were slightly irritated by his demeanor but did not fight with him because they

had a serious agenda on hand.

"Dad and I wanted to meet you to go over your engagement with Jolene Walter," Patricia

Nicholson announced. James wasn't shocked because his mom merely confirmed the

guess in his mind before he had come over.

She continued, "At first, your dad and I thought she was still a decent match for you

because she is the daughter of Graham Walter and Rowena Glass, even though she played

dirty. But now..."

She paused for a while to observe Evan's response. He appeared unbothered, so she went

on, "The Glasses are in shambles, and Graham Walter made it clear that he doesn't want

Jolene to inherit the business. I think she's no longer a suitable candidate for marriage."

That was an extremely practical and selfish statement, but to the Ten Elites, marriage was

nothing more than a business transaction.

"So, are you saying I should call off the engagement?" He curled his lips into what seemed

between a smile and a smirk.

"Yes. That is what your dad and I meant." Patricia had never liked Jolene because of the

woman's dirty tricks. She worried that Jolene's marriage to the Windsors would only bring

more trouble. Before this, she was more restrained in expressing her distaste, but she no

longer needed to worry much about calling off the engagement under the current

circumstances. Plus, she never wanted Jolene as her daughter-in-law anyway.
