Chapter 411 Not the Right Time
It was the middle of the night, and Jenny was wide awake after her talk with Christopher. She examined her teachers’ information on the computer screen and found Christopher was right; they were all experts in their respective fields. The martial arts, computer, art, and medical teachers were all renowned professionals in her country.
Even her seemingly ordinary design mentor, Jade, was once a partner of a well-known domestic designer brand. Jenny realized that she might not be an ordinary person, and she became curious about her background. However, she didn’t know who to ask as her grandfather had passed away. Suddenly, she remembered Gilbert, whom her grandfather could have confided in
“Jenny?” Gilbert answered the phone. It was not night yet in his time zone, so he answered almost instantly.
“I want to ask you something,” Jenny said. “Before Grandpa passed away, did he tell you anything?” Gilbert hesitated, having an inkling of what she would ask next. “What do you mean?”
“Did he say anything about my background? Did he tell you anything about my family?”
After a moment of silence, Gilbert sighed. “I don’t know much. Grandpa only said that you were not his biological granddaughter and that your family would reveal themselves when the time was right. Until then, he asked me to protect you.”
He was telling the truth. That was all Horace told him before he passed away. However, Gilbert had discovered more over the years but didn’t intend to tell Jenny yet. He wanted to confirm it again before revealing anything.
Jenny was stunned by the news that she wasn’t biologically related to her grandfather. She couldn’t help but wonder about her real family.
“Jenny,” Gilbert called her, concerned about her state of mind.
“Did Grandpa say anything about my family?” Jenny asked, hoping for some answers.
“No, he didn’t. Maybe he thought the time wasn’t right yet,” Gilbert replied.
Jenny decided that she needed to go to Bardoff City to find answers. Christopher’s grandfather might know something, and so might Old Mr. Faust. However, given her knowledge of Old Mr.
Faust, he wouldn’t tell her what was going on.
Suddenly, she realized how strange he was for insisting Alec marry her in the past; she wondered if it was related to her background. She felt chills all over when she thought about it.
Jenny forced herself to stop speculating and decided to wait until she had more information before making any assumptions.
