Chapter 17 Walter, Not Walker
Alec continued, “Such a shame. Her plan is going to fail miserably. What makes her think that I will
listen to my grandfather?”
Jenny came back to her senses. She was slightly taken aback. So, Alec thought Stephanie had gone to
see Mr. Faust last night?
She recalled how Warren always addressed her as “Miss Walter.”
It appeared that Alec must have misunderstood. It was Walter, not Walker. Unfortunately, he didn’t
know that. She found it kind of funny, but she couldn’t get herself to laugh after hearing what Alec had
said. Alec meant he wouldn’t let the Walker family off the hook.
“Is there no way to get around this? Mr. Faust, don’t you think that ending your collaboration with the
Walker family just because of this is a little too capricious?” She really couldn’t understand how Alec
could be so irrational.
“I always get my way. Do you have a problem with that, Dr. Walter?” He sneered, ignoring what Jenny
had just said. Seeing him like this, Jenny realized there was perhaps no room for discussion regarding
this issue. Her expression instantly turned dark.
Noticing that she went quiet, Alec smirked. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to help your friend say
something?”
“Since you’ve already made up your mind, I don’t think anything I say will help anyways. If that’s the
case, what else is there to say?” She took a glance at Alec, returning to her cold self.
Alec was upset that she returned to her usual cold self. He looked at her as he asked, “Have you novelbin
decided not to keep up the act anymore just because you think I won’t forgive the Walker family?”
“Mr. Alec, did you know that an illness like Miss Lawrence’s can relapse anytime?” She looked up and
maintained eye contact with Alec. She smirked. After a while, she walked out of the lift. As for Alec, his
expression turned dark right away.
This woman was threatening him!
He hurriedly chased after her. Before he could catch up, Jenny had already gotten in a cab and left.
Through the car window, Jenny saw Alec’s dull expression. Her initial bad mood became slightly better
now. Her phone rang. When she saw it was Stephanie, Jenny already predicted what she would say.
“Jenny, the Faust Group has completely ended their collaboration with the Walker family!” At the other
end of the phone, Stephanie’s voice sounded weak. She even sounded like she was about to cry.
Sure enough, Jenny wasn’t surprised that this had happened. After experiencing Alec’s attitude, she
guessed this would be the outcome.
“Jenny, my family is going to go bankrupt,” Stephanie said. “I told my father about the incident the other
day. Not only did he not blame me, but he also said it wasn’t my fault! Jenny, do you think my dad has
gone mad? He didn’t even blame me for this.”
She initially thought her father would beat her up, but he didn’t. He didn’t even scold her. This only
made her feel even worse. After giving it some thought, Jenny finally spoke. “Calm down first. Even if
you lose the Faust Group as a customer, that doesn’t necessarily mean that your family will go
bankrupt. Parrington is huge. Faust Group isn’t the only company here,” she said.
However, Stephanie didn’t have high hopes.
“If it were just the end of our collaboration, we would have just lose a customer. Even though it has a
big

impact, it wouldn’t bankrupt us. But because our collaboration has always been smooth, my dad always
keeps stock of the products that Faust Group needs, and right now, this batch of ready–stock items is
the source of all of our floating capital.”
Upon hearing this, Jenny now understood the seriousness of this issue. She said to Stephanie, “Give
me the details of these products. I’ll ask around and see if any other company will purchase this batch
of products.”
“Will other companies want to buy them?” She wasn’t confident.
“No matter what, we still have to give it a try. As long as we have a chance, we can’t give up so easily,”
she said to Stephanie.
Maybe because Jenny influenced her, Stephanie quickly got rid of all the negative thoughts and pulled
herself together.
“You’re right.”
After she hung up the phone, Jenny immediately made another phone call.
“Gilbert, I need a favor from you.”
