When he turned around, he caught sight of Audrey hiding herself fully under the quilt.

Just thinking back on that scene made Jensen’s head throb badly.

It had happened exactly one year ago. Back then, he had already planned a trip overseas to celebrate Nina’s birthday.

He had wanted to tell her the truth. It was never that he chose to ignore her all those years.

When he left Linholt years before, his grandfather had threatened him by using the safety of the Tann family and Nina herself as leverage.

He was told he was bound to take over the Grey family business for life. He could never go abroad to meet Nina unless he proved himself fully qualified to run the entire enterprise.

He had struggled relentlessly for five whole years. That night, he had finally broken through all obstacles and secured his place as the sole legitimate heir of the Grey Group. Yet everything got ruined by that calculated banquet the Grey family had set up for him on

purpose.

It was plainly a warning from his grandfather.

As the head of the Grey Group, he was only allowed to marry Audrey, the well-matched young heiress from Halmont. No one else was ever an option.

“What gives? Where did that Audrey even pop up from? Why does she keep getting in our way?”

Caleb looked utterly furious.

“I’m not even that upset about it, yet you’re far angrier than I am,” Nina said softly.

“How can you stay calm? Didn’t you see her acts tonight? Holding his hand, trying to let him feed her food on purpose-she was obviously staking her claim right in front of you. There’s nothing between you and Jensen anyway. Honestly speaking, if it weren’t for you back in the day, he would’ve suffered badly at the hands of the Mercers. He shows no gratitude at all, and even lets Audrey humiliate you like this. Once this project matter is settled, we ought to cut off all contact with him for good.”

Caleb rambled on endlessly. Though Nina did not voice the same thoughts out loud, she felt

exactly the same way deep inside.

She decided right then that this dinner was the last time she would ever meet Jensen.

From then on, they would go their separate ways and never cross paths again.

The next day, inside The T Company office.

financial support from the Grey Group, this ction project will have to be put on hold

“We’re turning down their investment offer?” Leo frowned in confusion. “But without

immediately.”

“Who said we can only rely on their funds to keep things going?” Nina replied calmly.

“We can always find other investors instead of counting solely on Jensen.”

“Other investors?”

Leo fell into silence, unable to come up with any reliable candidates right away.

Scoring a billion-dollar investment within Linholt was no easy feat. Most local enterprises were not optimistic about their real estate project. Without sufficient funding, the whole plan would stall. If work halted halfway through construction, they would end up suffering huge financial losses.

“I plan to head to Halmont,” Nina announced.

“Halmont?” Leo looked even more confused.

“Audrey actually gave me a good idea last night. The Beaumont Group can also be our potential business partner.”

“But they’ve already teamed up with Chase. They’re unlikely to form close ties with us.”

“If Julian truly intended to fully cooperate with the Mercers, he would never have only sent an assistant to attend the signing ceremony. Everyone chases profit after all. This project holds enormous profit potential in the future. I believe Julian will definitely be tempted. I have to give it a shot no matter what.”

Nina looked straight at Leo and gave her order.

“Book me a flight ticket for tonight. I’m leaving today.”

“Understood, Ms. Tann.”

That afternoon, Nina went back home to pack her luggage. Her mother noticed this and could not help asking questions.

“You just got home not long ago. Where are you heading off to again?”

“I’m going to Halmont to hang out with a friend. I’ll be back in about seven or eight days.”

Hearing she was going out for leisure, Esther kept asking.

“Which friend is it? Is Caleb going with you?”

“He’s not coming along. It’s just an old school classmate you don’t know.”

Esther looked full of doubt after hearing this.

Nina did not have many close friends around her. She could not think of anyone Nina would travel with for nearly a week.

Sensing something romantic was going on, she quietly pulled out her phone and called Marvin in private. She hid in a quiet corner and whispered softly.

“Honey, I think our daughter has found herself a boyfriend!”

As dusk fell, the atmosphere turned quiet inside the Grey Group CEO’s office.
