Jensen reacted exactly the same way back then. He acted unwilling on the surface and showed obvious reluctance in his manner, yet he still obeyed without hesitation.

A little while later, Jensen walked out of the office.

Kent froze the moment he caught sight of his strange look. “Sir, what happened to your face…”

“I know, don’t say a word,” Jensen replied in a calm tone, acting as if this sort of thing happened all the time. He then headed straight for the restroom.

Staff members along the way all stared at him curiously, but Jensen made no attempt to hide himself.

“What’s wrong with Mr. Grey today?”

“No idea what’s going on with him.”

Back inside the office, Nina simply smiled softly at the sight.

Truly, Jensen was always steady and composed no matter what happened, whether during their high school days or in the present.

Meanwhile at the Mercer Group, Chase looked utterly stunned the second he heard the news.

“The engagement is called off?”

He could hardly believe the Grey family would break off their alliance with the Beaumonts.

“It’s confirmed,” his secretary told him. “Sir, if this is true, won’t all the favors Audrey promised us fall through?”

Chase’s expression turned grim. This was exactly what he had feared most.

Though the Mercer family was now getting financial support from the Beaumonts, a sudden withdrawal of funds from their side would deal a

vastating blow to his business.

“Leave me alone for now.”

After sending his secretary away, Chase immediately dialed Audrey’s number.

At that moment. Audrey had already been driven out of the Grey Group. Seeing Chase’s

incoming call only irritated her further. She picked up quickly, sounding annoyed.

“I told you not to contact me unless I reach out first! Why are you calling me out of nowhere?”

“I heard you’ve ended your engagement with Jensen.”

Audrey’s face darkened instantly. She had not expected word to spread so fast.

“This is all your fault! Didn’t you promise to take care of Nina? I even got my brother to fund your projects, yet you’ve made no progress at all. How could you let her go to Halmont freely?” she snapped sharply over the phone.

Chase grew tired of her temper tantrums, yet he forced himself to stay patient.

“I’ve been trying every possible means to make a move, but Jensen keeps Nina too well protected. I simply never get the chance.”

“Hmph, he shields her so closely…”

Envy surged wildly inside Audrey’s heart. Nina had merely appeared beside Jensen earlier than her, yet she had easily won his affection.

She had done so many things just for Jensen, but he never seemed to notice her efforts at all

“I’ll create an opening for you. No matter what methods you use, you have to make Nina yours. Otherwise I’ll tell my brother to pull out all his investment funds. I will never allow Jensen to marry anyone but me, never!”

Audrey hung up the call right after finishing her words. Chase’s face turned completely cold.

Who does Audrey think she is? She’s nothing but a spoiled woman who relies entirely on her brother. Without Julian backing her up, she has nothing at all.

He felt furious being ordered around like that, but he held back his anger the second he thought she could help him get close to Nina. As long as he could win Nina over, he did not care about anything else.

Just then, Katrina pushed open the office door and walked in with Wilder beside her.

“Get out!” Chase blurted out instinctively.

Katrina was startled by his sharp tone, and little Wilder even started crying out of fright.

“Don’t cry, sweetie. Daddy isn’t mad at you,” Katrina comforted the child, then shot Chase a
