Chapter 728 Don't You Dare Leave!
Jenny was obviously unaware of Yvonne and Brandon’s tussle in bed. All her focus was
directed on countering Melissa's attacks. Luckily for her, Melissa was no better than
Jonathan, so she wasn't at much risk of losing her life that day.
It took at least ten rounds of single-handed combat before Melissa finally tapped out. "I
think we can stop now.*
Jenny nodded, seeing Melissa's smarts at play. She knew she'd lose if the fight continued,
so she might as well stop now to save her pride.
But Alicia disapproved of that decision. “Why are you surrendering, Ms. Collins? You're still
standing, aren't you?’
To her, winning meant beating up your opponent to the extent that they could no longer

Melissa's face immediately fell. Did Alicia expect her to suffer from mortal injury before
calling it quits? "Miss Walter and I are only challenging one another's skill and strength,
not fighting to the death. I surrendered because I was unable to best her. There's no issue
with that when it comes to trial by combat."
"But why couldn't you defeat her...* Alicia whined.
She'd heard from her brother about how powerful those practicing martial arts with him
were, so why was this happening? First, her brother dies at Jenny's hand, then Melissa fails
to overpower her. Was Jenny really that powerful?
"I wouldn't have taken on your request if it weren't for your brother," Melissa said without
sugarcoating it. *A loss is a loss. I pray you don't seek to harm Jenny from now on, as you
won't be her match whatsoever."
As solid as that advice might be, Melissa didn't know if Alicia actually took it to heart.
Meanwhile, Jenny was finding Melissa quite a virtuous character. At least better than
Alicia. That was why she didn't include Melissa in her to-watch- out-for list.
After some conversation with Melissa, Jenny turned to leave, but not before telling Alicia,
"I'm truly sorry about your brother's death, Alicia, but he was without a doubt liable for the
crimes he committed. I don't think anything was wrong with my sending him to prison.
"As for his suicide...l never anticipated that. I cant do anything to change your mind if you
insist on attaching my fault on that.’
Jenny wouldn't apologize, however, because she didn't feel she'd done anything wrong.
A pity Alicia stopped listening to reason whenever she thought about her brother. "You're
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsorry? You were the one responsible for all this!"
To that, Jenny remained silent.
"Jonathan wouldn't have died if it weren't for you! He would never have killed himself. You
must've sent someone to kill him!" Alicia screamed.
Jenny shook her head. "You can report me to the police if you insist on justice. I'm sure
they’ll give you the answers you need."
"The police?" Alicia scowled. "The police wouldn’t help someone like me. All you rich
people would've bribed them over to your side."
Yep. Waste of her time. "Alright, whatever. Feel free to continue seeking vengeance. I'm
not going anywhere.*
Jenny wouldn't do anything to Alicia now that she was the sole descendant of the Flynn
family, provided the girl didn't try something heavy-handed.
Apart from Jonathan's fellow disciples, there was no one else Alicia could find to fight
Jenny on her behalf.
"Don't you dare walk away!" Alicia screeched as Jenny left, running up to her.
