Chapter 273 What Help Can You Offer Me?
On their way home, after they made the necessary arrangements for Joey, Jenny was suddenly
reminded of Justin and Lilian. “Do you have any updates on the adoptive family?” she blurted out to Alec.
“Yeah, I found one, but we haven’t gotten in touch with them,” Alec answered. He would always fulfill
Jenny’s request to the best of his ability.
She sighed in relief after learning that. She had been busy with work and had no time to care for two
children. Therefore, she sent them to Orchid Village and entrusted them to the villagers’ care. Still, she
couldn’t leave them in the village for the long term and planned to find them an adoptive family so that
they could resume their daily lives.

proud of her skills.
Alec agreed to let her take over because he knew that Jenny was blessed with detective skills. “Sure.”
Soon, they arrived at Perry Residence. As it was late, they wished each other good night and returned
home to rest. When they fell asleep that night, someone was losing sleep elsewhere.
At the Wagner Manor, sounds of items crashing were heard from an eastside villa. The maids scurried
away to hide when they witnessed Marigold’s outburst.
“Damn it!” While throwing and breaking stuff, she cursed, “Jenny Walter, you drove Gilbert away! I won’t
let this slide!”
At the height of her fury, she was interrupted by her phone ringing. Her expression darkened when she
saw the caller ID. “Why are you calling me?”
“Why the hostility? I’m here to help.” Yvonne’s sympathetic voice didn’t convince her.
“Help me? What help can you offer me?” she spat in disdain and refused to engage further with Yvonne.
Yvonne chuckled calmly in the face of her anger. “Aren’t you upset because Gilbert left? You knew that
Jenny was the reason behind it. Don’t you want to teach her a lesson?”
Yvonne’s words resonated strongly with Marigold, who had always wanted to find an opportunity to teach
Jenny a lesson but had no idea how to go about it, which contributed to her anger.
“Let’s meet up and have some drinks.” With that, Yvonne hung up and sent Marigold the address of a
bar. Marigold gritted her teeth and hesitated as she stared at the address. She was not naive and knew
that Yvonne was using her to get back at Jenny. After some deliberation, she concluded that since she

met with her? Perhaps, Yvonne would have a better idea for dealing with Jenny.
After making a decision, she quickly changed and left the Wagner Manor.
Jenny woke up early on Monday morning, ready for a busy day ahead. As usual, Alec rang her doorbell
and delivered breakfast.
She joked, “You’re making me wonder if the Faust Group is faring well. You don’t look busy at all.”
“Well, if the Faust Group goes down, could you take me in and look after me?” He beamed at her and
waited eagerly for her answer.
She rolled her eyes at him and took the food. “No!”
“That can’t be. Dr. Walter, you’re a kind soul. Are you going to watch as I die of hunger on the streets?”
He walked up to her and put on a pitiful face.
She dug into the breakfast and casually remarked, “Don’t worry. With your looks, you’ll have sugar
mommies lining up to pay your bills if you go bankrupt. You won’t die of hunger.”
