Chapter 20 Can’t Locate Your Ex-Wife
In Gilbert’s car, Jenny received a call from Zack. “The Faust Group is now teaming up with the Lawrence
family.”
“The Lawrence family?” She was stunned.
“Yup. The Lawrence family seem to be very close to Alec. Almost everyone in Parrington knows the
family has Alec’s support, so they have been doing quite well these two years.” After saying that, he
asked in a puzzled tone, “Why did you ask me to investigate this? Did that bastard Alec upset you
again?”
“No reason. I was just curious why he suddenly stopped working with the Walker family,” Jenny said.
“That’s good. If he bothers you again, remember to tell me. I will beat him up.” He hadn’t let go of the fact
that Jenny had wasted two years of her life with that man.
Jenny smiled and burst into laughter upon hearing this.
“Alright.”
After hanging up the phone, Jenny looked out of the car window. She sometimes felt that she was

now.
“The Lawrence family is the family of that woman beside Alec just now, right?” Gilbert suddenly asked as
he glanced at Jenny, sitting in the passenger seat.
Jenny nodded. “Should be.”
Other than Faye’s family, Jenny couldn’t think of any other families with the last name Lawrence.
“Then, it appears that Alec had already planned to stop working with the Walker family. Your incident was
a mere coincidence. It didn’t affect that much.” Even if Faye hadn’t talked behind Alec’s back, the plan
was already there all along.
Jenny nodded sullenly. “Yeah. I really thought that if I apologized to him, the Faust Group would continue
working with them.”
Now that she thought about it, she was being ridiculous. Noticing that she was unhappy, Gilbert decided
not to mention Alec anymore. He changed the topic. “There will be a charity dinner tomorrow night. Are
you free?”
“Do you want me to accompany you?” Jenny asked.
“Yes, I still need a plus one,” he said.
Jenny covered her mouth and chuckled. “Of course I can accompany you, but it’s time you find me a
sister -in-law too. How could you expect me to accompany you every single time?”
“Okay, I will,” Gilbert answered half-heartedly as his gaze fell upon Jenny’s face.
At the Faust Group.
After sending Faye home, he returned to the company to work. However, as he was staring at the
document in front of him, his mind couldn’t help but drift toward Jenny. Her voice kept echoing in his
head. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it sounded like the voice he heard that day at
the Old Mansion.
At this moment, Vincent knocked on his door and entered the room.
“Mr. Alec.”

“You asked me to find your ex-wife and gift the house in Charmford to her, but…” He hesitated to
continue.
Alec looked up, seemingly annoyed. “But what? She didn’t like it?”
“No, that’s not it. I can’t locate your ex-wife.” Vincent lowered his head, afraid to look into his boss’ eyes.
“Can’t locate her?” Alec frowned. He was very displeased. “Vincent, I’m very dissatisfied with your
capabilities lately.”
First, he couldn’t find anything about Dr. Walter. Now, he couldn’t even locate a country girl. What did he
need this assistant for? Vincent nodded again and again. He broke into a cold sweat as he admitted,
“I’ve been incompetent. I’m willing to accept your punishment.”
A stern look flashed across Alec’s eyes. He said, “Continue to investigate. I don’t believe a country girl
like her could have gone that far.”
Alec was already upset when he couldn’t find any information about Dr. Walter, but considering she was
famous, he could somehow understand the situation. However, that ex-wife…
“Alright, I’ll make sure to find her.” Vincent nodded.
Feeling slightly relieved, he spoke again. “There will be a charity dinner tomorrow night. Are you going?”
