Chapter 586 Ungrateful
Jenny was happy for Stephanie. "Do your best then. We'll see how we fare."
They chatted leisurely for a while before Stephanie's mother called them to come out for lunch. Jenny joined them
and went to the office right after.
When she reached the building, she realized there were considerably more employees than before. It was a telltale
of further imposed management systems, which pleased Jenny to no end. Alex and Jade were a power duo, far
more effective than she was.
"Jade," Jenny called after knocking on the door.
"You're back." Jade smiled, sitting down with her on the lounge.

wonder where they are now."
"It's not me." Jade shrugged. "You have to thank Alfred, really. I'm still just in charge of the design team, nothing
else."
She hadn't had a hand in the management, trusting Alex to take care of everything. She would place her trust in
whoever Jenny trusted, after all.
Jenny was surprised to hear that.
"Though he might not have had the best intentions at first, nor can I say for certain he doesn't now, one thing's for
sure, he can definitely put in the work," Jade said.
Jenny agreed. It was why she tried her best to convince Alfred to stay and work hard for himself, to let go of his
hatred and his attachment to Mortimer Faust.
It looked like it had worked.
Jade then reported the ongoings from the design department, which Jenny didn't question as much. After all, Jade
was far more professional at this than her.
She was about to look for Alfred when Jade told him he hadn't come in for work. Jenny didn't mind. As long as Alfred
made sure things continued running, he could do whatever he wanted outside the office.
Alfred, on the other hand, had rented a flat near Jeneration Group. He wasn't that well-off, even if he was formally
appointed as the company's vice president. His monthly salary was just enough to get him this place to himself. It
was small, but he didn't mind.
What he minded was the man standing at his doorstep right now. "What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here?" Mortimer huffed, cheeks reddening. "I'm your father. Why can't I be here?"

He felt like he'd get a heart attack one day, triggered by his sons. Why did it seem like Alfred was following in Alec's
footsteps of being obstinate?
Alfred frowned, equally annoyed. "Why aren't you in Parrington? Arent you living at the Old Mansion?"
"I got kicked out of the house because of that brat Alec," Mortimer said, gritting his teeth. "All because of you."
If he had known things would come to this, he'd have strangled Alec to death as a baby. That way, he'd still have
the family inheritance and live comfortably in Parrington.
Alfred scoffed, "What do you mean it was because of me? I never asked you to do anything to him."
He seemed to have heeded Jenny's words, so now he didn't hold such a big grudge against Alec nor salivate after
the Faust Group. As Jenny put it, better to strive and set up his own company than waste his time stealing someone
else's.
"You ungrateful brat, I wouldn't have done that to him if I didn't want you to take over Faust Group!" Mortimer
yelled, cursing whatever he had done in his past life for all the suffering he had experienced through his sons today.
