Chapter 103 How Dare He!
Although Alec stayed quiet, his ugly expression said it all. Based on his understanding of Jenny, she
would agree. In fact, she would likely be very involved with the plan.
“See you tonight, Mr. Faust. I hope you won’t inform the Dickmans.”
Waving at him, Max entered his car. Alec watched as Max’s flamboyant red sports car rolled out of sight.
Then, he turned to look at Jenny’s floor before he left.
Jenny slept until noon, making up for the sleep she had lost the previous night. Once she got up from
bed, she checked her phone. Morgan had sent her a text, asking her if she wanted to attend Old Mr.
Faust’s party together with her.
After replying to her, Jenny read the texts from other people. Stephanie had sent her one, saying that
she didn’t have time to attend the party and hoped Jenny would send her wishes to the old man well for

It seemed that Stephanie had become very busy now that she had started working for her family after
they almost went bankrupt. She was truly deserving of her title as the Walkers’ heir. Max also texted her,
telling her that he would pick her up at 6.00 pm.
After reading all the texts, she went to wash up before leisurely making lunch for herself. After lunch, it
was still hours before 6 pm. Instead of laying around idly, she searched for news related to the Dickman
Group.
As she had said, she was not a forgiving person, and she would not let Steven off the hook so easily
after he drugged her. Even though she couldn’t bring him down instantly, she could do it little by little. In
any case, she couldn’t sit still and do nothing.
A listed company’s finances were most prone to problems. Therefore, Jenny decided to launch her attack
by targeting that. She was reading seriously when her phone rang.
“Gilbert!” Jenny shouted with a smile the moment she answered the call.
“Are you free tonight? Would you accompany me to a birthday party?” Gilbert asked.
Jenny knew that the birthday party was likely Old Mr. Faust’s. Hence, she replied, “If you want me to
accompany you to Mr. Faust’s birthday party, then I won’t be able to do that.”
“Why?”
“I’ve already promised someone else that,” she replied without specifying who it was.
Knowing her brother’s character, he would tell her to reconsider and stay away from Max if he knew she
was going with him. She decided she would hide it from Gilbert just this once so he wouldn’t worry.
Hearing her answer, Gilbert didn’t pursue further. “Okay, then I’ll ask Zack to accompany me.”
“Yeah, he should attend more events like this. Otherwise, he might become a homebody.”
She didn’t know if it was because people in his line of work liked staying at home, but, anyway, Zack did.
Suddenly, Gilbert got back to business, “The situation with the Dickmans is more complicated, so it’s

Gilbert had not stayed idle. Aside from running his usual business, he also had to mobilize forces to
investigate the Dickmans. Unfortunately, there was no progress.
“It’s okay. Take your time.” She was not discouraged. It would not be so easy to bring down a big family,
so she was mentally prepared for such a situation.
“However, Steven has done many bad things. Should we start with him? Maybe we can send him to
prison for a few years?” Gilbert suggested. He hated Steven so much for attempting to prey on his sister.
How
dare he!
After giving it some thought, Jenny refused the idea. “It won’t be difficult to send him to prison, but if his
family still stands, he’ll be fine. Instead, it will make them warier, which would not be good for us.”
If the Dickmans became vigilant, it would be even more difficult for them to find their weak spots.
