Chapter 129


    The thought of being manipted by a young girl tarnished his image as the Supreme One.


    How could be face the world if this became known?


    “Let’s go,e to my house to get the Aether Script,” Zoey urged, tugging at Sebastian’s arm and


    guiding him toward her car.


    “Wait a moment, I have some things to take care of first. I’lle to your house Inter,” Sebastian


    replied, resisting the impulse to follow immediately


    His promise to Lucy echoed in his mind–a vow to protect Jenny that he wouldn’t abandon.


    After all, the Aether Script was securely housed at Zoey’s ce, so it could wait a little longer.


    “Alright then, let’s exchange phone numbers,” Zoey suggested.


    Meanwhile, a group of young men and women conversed at a coffee shop’s window–side table.


    Their designer clothes hinted at affluent backgrounds


    Just then, another young woman approached the group


    “Jenny, over here,” Winnie rk called out eagerly.


    “Sorry I’mte, didn’t mean to keep you all waiting.” Jenny apologized as she joined them.


    Winnie said with a teasing smile, “We’re not in a rush, but Mr. Zatch sure is.”


    A blush spread across Jenny’s face as she nced at Harrison. Their unspoken connection was


    undeniable, needing only the slightest encouragement to blossom.


    So, where are we going next? Winnie inquired.


    “How about karaoke?” suggested Ryan Thompson, Winnie’s boyfriend, and Harrison’s sidekick


    Despite Ryan’s wealthy background, his family wealth paled inparison to the immense Zatch


    fortune.


    The karaoke outing was a n he and Harrison had concocted earlier, with the unsavory aim of


    getting Jenny drunk and exploiting the situation.


    Although Harrison was aware that patience would eventually win Jenny’s affection, his long–


    standing desire for her made him impatient.


    “Sounds good to me.”


    “I agree too.”


    “Since no one has any objections, let’s head over now,” Harrison chimed in.


    “Hold on a minute, I have another friending,” Jenny Interjected.


    Though she wasn’t particrly fond of Sebastian, he was still a guest of her family.


    “Who is it?” Winnie asked, her curiosity piqued.


    “The son of one of my mom’s friends,” Jenny replied with a hint of unease in her voice.


    “I’ve never heard you mention him before. It wouldn’t happen to be an ex–boyfriend, would it?”


    Winnie teased.


    A surge of anxiety washed over Jenny. She hesitated, then blurted out the truth, “He and I are


    betrothed.”


    “What?” Winnie gasped, clearly shocked.


    Her offhand joke had hit unexpectedly close to home. Though not an ex–boyfriend, he was indeed


    her fiancé.


    Harrison’s smile froze immediately at her words.

    Sensing his displeasure, Jenny quickly added, “I only found out yesterday myself. It’s aplicated


    situation and he’s quite unsophisticated. We’re going to break off the Engagement in a couple of


    days.”


    Past then, Sebastian entered the entier shop, drawing everyone’s attention.
