Chapter 544


    Chapter 544 Am I Prejudiced?


    Despite wanting to stay, James left Jenny’s room out of consideration of her injuries and recovery. After


    he left, she finally returned the missed calls on her phone. First on her list was Jade, followed by


    Graham. She informed them that her phone had died but did not bring up the topic of her injuries. She


    hid the truth from Jade because Jade would be worried, and she didn’t tell Graham because nothing


    woulde out of it.


    At this moment, she had no evidence pointing to Rowena and Jolene. If she blindly used the two in


    front of Graham, he might think she was up to no good just to bring them down.


    She needed sufficient evidence to show Graham the true face of Rowena and Jolene, for she wanted


    him to deal with them with his own hands. That was the main reason she refused James’ help. Only by


    showing Graham the true colors of his wife and daughter would he be disappointed in them.


    After responding to all the missed calls, she finally got to Alec. She was kept waiting for a long time


    before he picked up.


    “Were you looking for me?” she asked, wondering if he had seen the gossip online.


    On the other end, Alec was staring at the news about Jenny and James on hisputer. His eyes


    pierced through the photos with a profound look in his eyes.


    “Yeah. Why was your phone turned off?” he asked, holding back the anger inside him.


    After some consideration, she decided not to tell him about the attack. He’d be worried if he learned


    about it, and there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t go up against Rowena and Jolene.


    She made up an excuse instead and changed the topic of the conversation.


    “Why did you look for me?”


    “Nothing much,” he replied.


    “Okay.”

    There was a short silence between them as they tiptoed around their words.


    Noticing the awkward shift in the air, she blurted out, “Have you seen the news online?”


    “Mm,” he grunted. He knew that he should trust Jenny. Moreover, since they weren’t dating anymore,


    he didn’t have the right to grill her over her private life.


    “Theizens are making things up. He’s my senior from school, and you knew it too,” she rified.


    Of course, Alec knew James’ rtion to Jenny, but that only upset him more. He could tell that James


    was interested in her, and the two were growing ufortably close to each other by the day.


    Moreover, James was part of the


    Windsor family, making him the perfect partner for Jenny with his social status. In the past, Alec had


    scoffed at the concept of a good match in rtionships, but he finally had a taste of inferiority when he


    fell victim to it.


    Jenny was rather unhappy at his silence. “Did you really think that I’m involved with him?” She was


    ovee with an unexinable disappointment. She hadn’t nned to pick a fight with Alec for not


    noticing that she had fainted in the photos-she even wanted to exin the situation to him. To her


    dismay, he suspected that she was involved with James.


    “I trust you, but I don’t trust him,” Alec muttered.


    A little furious, Jenny chuckled loudly at his answer. “Alec Faust, you should not judge others with


    prejudice. There’s nothing between James and meyou’re overthinking.’


    “Am I prejudiced?” Now, Alec was unhappy as well. He definitely didn’t overthink when he suggested


    the obvious fact of James being interested in Jenny. He fully trusted his intuition when he examined


    James’ behavior from a man’s perspective, which was usually urate.


    “Aren’t you?” Jenny was angry and amused at the same time. “You’ve been staring at that photo for a


    while. Did you notice that I had lost consciousness in the photo? I thought you would trust me even if


    you overlooked that detail that would’ve shown you I was attacked. Looking back, perhaps I was too


    trusting of you.”
