Chapter 1040


    Chapter 1040 I''ll Consider It


    "Leave?"


    Evan gazed at him questioningly.


    "And go where?"


    "Back overseas.To our home.We don''t have to worry about all this anymore once we go back."


    Not even Alec could take them on at that point.


    Evan stayed silent as if actually considering it.


    "We can take advantage of Miss Walter''s guilt right now and bring her overseas with us, saying we''ll


    find treatment for you there.She might actually agree toe along."


    Howard really didn''t care if Jenny agreed.


    Even if she didn''t, they had ways of taking Jenny with them.


    Surprisingly, Howard''s suggestion was quite appealing to Evan.


    He had a firm rule at his home overseas, and not only could Jenny stay with him for up to several


    years, but he might even give up on the act, iming that treatment overseas was much more


    effective.


    At that point, he could do all he wanted, and no one could stop him anymore.


    But...


    Evan was worried he might be pushing Jenny too far with the request.


    Having her take care of him was already something against her will.


    Howard grew agitated the more quiet Evan was.


    "Boss, if you''re worried Miss Walter won''t agree toe with us, I can always—"


    "That''s enough.I''ll consider it.Do nothing until I say so, understood?"


    Evan knew what Howard was suggesting, but it was still too early to resort to that right now.


    Howard sighed, feeling d.It being taken into consideration was better than nothing being done at all.


    Around midday, Jenny knocked on Evan''s study.


    "Lunch is ready, Evan."


    The door was then swiftly opened while Evan just as swiftly sat back into the wheelchair.

    A gentle smile was on his face.


    "Wow.That was fast."


    "Mhm.I''ll wheel you downstairs."


    Jenny stepped in for Howard and pushed Evan toward the elevator, heading to the first floor.


    Zack spotted the two while setting up the table but said nothing.


    Evan turned to Howard.


    "Get that Romanee Conti from the cer."


    "Right away!"


    Howard nodded excitedly.His boss had gotten that bottle from an auction years ago.He''d been eyeing it


    for ages, hoping to get a taste.


    Finally, the time hade! As the table filled with people, this New Year''s lunch was bound to differ


    from all the other years as neither Jenny and her siblings were having it at their own home, nor was it


    just the three of them anymore.


    "The first toast belongs to Gilbert, without a doubt.Just look at all this food!"


    Jenny raised her ss at Gilbert.


    Evan continued, "I''m really sorry once again.You''re my guests, yet here you are having to cook for us."


    If only he could have, he would.


    "It''s alright.We''re no strangers,"


    Gilbert grumbled, not wanting to rain on Jenny''s parade.


    As sses were raised and "Cheers!" rang through the room, everyone had a taste of the fine wine.


    Zack eyed the bottle, saying, "That''s some good red."


    "I''m d you like it."


    Evan had saved the bottle just for Jenny.


    The addition of the rest of these people didn''t bother him since he had achieved his goal.Howard,


    meanwhile, was buzzing with glee.


    "Of course, it was good wine," he thought.


    "It cost the boss several million dors."
