    Chapter 540 What a Load of Crap


    The branch office of the Faust Group was rtively unknown in Bardoff City, as it was less influential


    rtive to the many big names. However, as most people paid attention to the developments of the


    ss family, they noticed that the family had been making moves against the Faust Group, which


    piqued their curiosity.


    The outsiders mistook the actions for the ss family’s ambition to acquire Faust Group, but only


    Jenny knew that Rowena and Jolene were behind the recent moves. Worried that Alec would struggle


    to fend off the attacks, Jenny wanted to call him out of concern but held back in the end. Based on her


    understanding of him, he would definitely turn down her offer to help when his ego acted up, just like


    the average man.


    With that in mind, she decided to ask James for helpter. Well, she wasn’t exactly asking him to


    actively intervene. It’d be great if he could at least hold off the ss family. Moreover, a stronger ss


    family would be bad news for the Walter family.


    Deep in thought, she didn’t notice that the cab had veered off the route to the restaurant.


    “We’re here.”


    She snapped back to reality when she heard the husky voice of the driver. She looked out of the


    window and saw a stretch of wilderness. That was when she realized that something was wrong.


    “Where are we?’ she asked, but the driver didn’t turn around. She didn’t have a clear view of his face.


    “At your grave.” She heard the husky voice once again. The man had gotten out of the car and opened


    the door to the back seat. When he pulled her out of the car, she didn’t resist because it would be


    difficult to fight him in the cramped space anyway.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Rowena and Jolene must have been impatient, for they had immediately hired someone to get rid of


    her after the eventst night.


    With one nce, Jenny could tell he was a tough nut to crack even before taking him on. By now, she


    had learned her lessons and acknowledged that


    Bardoff City was full of skilled opponents. She was far from invincible in the city with her current skills.


    Therefore, her first reaction was to buy time. She dialed a number using the phone hidden in the bag,


    even though she had no idea who she had called.


    “Mister, calm down. You’ll be sentenced for murder. Do you n to ruin your life at such a young age?”


    She tried persuading the man, but he charged at her impatiently. Speechless, she grumbled, ‘We


    should at least chat. Why the rush?’


    “What a load of crap,” he snickered, to her dismay. She wasn’t a talkative person either, but she had to


    buy herself time somehow or risk losing her life. Her decision not to fight him was proven wise-after


    fending off his attacks, she realized she was no match for him.


    “Rowena and her people have gotten smart. Now that they know I am skilled in martial arts, they would


    spend a fortune hiring the best to take me on. They’re no longer as dumb as they were,” she mused.


    Despite not knowing who she had called, she hoped the person who picked up would understand that


    she was in trouble and bring help. Otherwise, she might meet her end that day.


    While they were busy sparring, James received a call from Jenny. He thought she had something to


    say, but he heard nothing from the other end, which was puzzling. As Jenny did not switch on the


    speaker mode, he could only pick up some rustling noises without knowing what was happening.


    Nevertheless, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
