Alex could not begin to imagine that Jane would rather beg so submissively in front of a man older than her own father than go home with Alex. How humiliating it was for her to be this determined? At that moment, Alex's heart was instantly filled with frustration to the point that he came close to punching himself to death. However, he remained silent as he watched Jane begged Lenny.
Lenny was, indeed, not too bad of an old man. He sighed sadly, "Little pregnant lady, it's not that I don't want you because you are pregnant. I am especially impressed with how you treat your boyfriend's mother. I respect you for that, but still, I can't take you i n. You are Master Alex's woman."
Jane shook her head. "Master Powell, look at me right now. Could Master Alex of Kidon City want me?? How stupid could he be to want someone that looks like m e? Don't worry, Master Powell. Alex Poole... Master Alex doesn't want me. Otherwise, would I have come t o you with my mother?"
"..." Lenny did not respond. He had indeed been moved by the pregnant woman's action for the past two days, but he also did not want any trouble. However, the woman seemed too pitiful. He thought about the fact that Jane looked rather beautiful, and with a goodlooking face and a certain grace in her, despite her ragged clothes, her aura was not something that
women from small towns could compare to. Women from big cities were different, after all. Once she gave birth and recovered from it, she might come to be useful to him. After thinking it through, Lenny said," You agree to follow my orders from now on, and do whatever I ask you to do?"
Jane nodded frantically. "Mm-hm, I'll do anything you ask!"
"What if..." Lenny thought that it would be best to be honest with a woman like Jane. He was not willing to benefit from immoral methods. He preferred to be straight-forward and transparent about what he did." Let me tell you this, little pregnant lady. I won't possibly marry you."
"I... I don't need you to marry me." Jane said hurriedly.
"As for companions between the sheets, I have more than enough."

"If the matter between you and Master Alex from Kidon City is over and he has abandoned you, no one other than me in this whole wide world would be willing to take you in with you being pregnant and an old lady by your side. There is going to be a price for m e to take you in. Once you give birth and recover from i t, you will need to pay me back." Lenny finally got to the point.
"I will! I will pay you back!"
"I thought about it, and here in the Northeast, we often get European businessmen. Those Europeans have high standards, and with your face and elegance considered, you will need to serve them for me when the time comes."
"..." Jane froze. Was he asking her to... To be a prostitute? Tears streamed down her face. Perhaps this had always been her fate. She nodded. "Okay!"
Behind them, Garrett, who was hidden in the bushes, cursed, "F*ck that bast*rd! To think that Mrs. Poole actually begged for mercy in that old fool's place this morning! Now he's forgotten all about how he barely escaped death! Master, I will go tear that old bast*rd into pieces right now!"
"He is already more sensible than Huron and Cindy," Alex said calmly. "He is an old businessman who got rich by trading. Most of his money had to be earned that way."
In Alex's mind, he felt like the deal Lenny offered was fair enough. Alex even thought that he was doing a good deed. He saved Jane and her mother, and even allowed her to give birth to her child. How could he possibly be wrong?
"But... Master, when will Mrs. Poole's suffering come to an end then?" Garrett said.
