Evan was shocked and then incensed. "How dare she!"

"Evan, if you want me to stay, you need to guarantee my safety," Jenny said. If those people from Evan's group wanted to harm her, it would be too easy for them. This place wasn't her home country, and these people all had guns. Even if she was skilled, she couldn't dodge bullets.

Evan didn't even consider why she was willing to stay and just smiled while promising, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to do anything to you."

Jenny then walked out of the room, and Howard was called in. Jenny didn't know what Evan had said to Howard, but the way Howard looked at her changed when he came out.

"Let's go. I'll take you to your room," Howard said, looking at her warily.

He led Jenny to a room in the castle that had a particularly good view of the sea. If she opened the window, she could see the ocean outside. Jenny was very satisfied with the room. At least it was much better than the dungeon she was in before.

Howard looked at her as she stood by the window and said, "I don't know what you said to Boss, but since you're staying, it means Boss treats you like one of his own. I hope you won't betray his trust." There weren't many people living in this castle. There was only Evan, himself, Olivia, and now Jenny. Howard had the feeling that Jenny wasn't the type of person who would easily submit and thought she could be planning something even now.

Jenny turned around and smiled at Howard. "Haven't you been persuading me to stay? Now that I'm staying, you don't seem too happy."

Howard shrugged and didn't say anything in response. Of course, he hoped Jenny would stay, but she had to be sincere. However, he also knew that Jenny wouldn't really want that.

"Take care of yourself," Howard said before leaving the room.

Jenny watched the door close, and her eyes became cold. There was no hint of the smile she had just shown.

When Howard went back to Evan's room, Olivia was there. She'd just found out that Jenny had also moved into the castle and was now complaining about it.

"Evan, how could you let that woman move in? Everything here is confidential. What if she..." Olivia was angry, and even more so that Jenny was staying on the same floor as Evan. The problem was even she didn't have that privilege.

Evan's gaze became as cold as ice as he glared at her. "Olivia, know your place. Jenny is my woman. If you dare to disrespect her again, don't blame me for being merciless." Olivia was stunned. She had been with Evan for so many years, and this was the first time he'd said such harsh words to her. Her eyes reddened as tears welled up instantly. "Boss, it's already arranged," Howard spoke up in a timely manner, dispelling the awkward atmosphere in the room.

Evan nodded and instructed him, "Assign a few people to protect her, and don't let anything happen to her."

"Boss, this is our territory. There shouldn't be any problem," Howard said with a dry laugh. Now that everyone knew Jenny was Evan's woman. Who would dare to touch her? Evan snorted coldly and glanced at Olivia in an insinuating manner. "I've been away for some time, after all. It could be that some people are no longer loyal to me, and I wouldn't know." Howard was helpless and could only nod. "Okay. I'll assign people to protect Miss Walter."

Olivia sat still with her head down. She wasn't an airhead and knew Evan's words were directed at her. She felt aggrieved but didn't argue. She had indeed wanted to lay her hands on Jenny, but she only wanted to scratch her face so that Evan would be disgusted when he saw her.

But now, she wanted nothing more than to kill Jenny.
