Upon recalling Albert’s past, Helen sank her head and said, “I… I failed to do right by him. I’ve just stood by and seen him lead such a life.”

Since Helen and Rena got on well, Helen started to share her worries.

Rena patted Helen’s hand, offering some reassurance.

Since then, Helen had become a distinguished guest of the Fowler family. From time to time, she would come and pay Rena a visit.

Strangely enough, although Albert would also come to her home, he and Helen had never actually bumped into each other.

Rena went upstairs, carefully leaned her back against the sofa and stared at the ceiling as she let her thoughts run wild.

Once Waylen was done unpacking their Luggage, he approached Rena and placed an arm around her shoulder.

“What’s wrong?” he asked her.

“Anything bothering you?”

Rena placed her hand atop his and fiddled with his fingers.

Then, with a sigh, she said, “Albert’s mother just told me something about Albert. After listening to her, I can’t help but feel sorry for Albert.”

Waylen just smiled. He instantly knew what she was guilty about. It was about Albert and Aline having sex.

Waylen, however, didn’t think it was a big deal.

“Oh? The guilt weighed you down?” Waylen deliberately teased.

Though sensing the teasing in his tone, Rena clarified, “Not that serious.”

Rena knew how to coax Waylen and bring a sense of security in him.

She turned around, pressed her face against his stomach, and said,

“Wlaylen, you’re my love story.”

As Waylen smiled, the look on his eyes softened.

In the next half month, Rena attended several banquets with Helen.

Although these events weren’t grand enough, they were all attended by dozens of celebrities.

Once they had attended enough of these events, people started to know about a lady named Helen, who was connected with Zoey. Helen was Zoey’s daughter’s age.

Besides, Helen often showed up with Rena.

Given Helen’s connection with Zoey and Rena, no one dared to mistreat Helen.

Rena thought she had done enough and could move on with her plan.

She employed Albert to work in the company. From time to time, she would even give him useful advice.

Since Albert had inherited Kyle’s business acumen, he quickly picked things up. Besides, he never wanted to disappoint Rena.

When Kyle heard of Albert’s rapid progress, he called Rena to thank her.

“I just managed to give Albert a leg up, Kyle,” Rena told Kyle.

“Albert did well with the opportunities I offered to him.”

The two of them exchanged casual small talk for a while. During that,

Rena was secretly maneuvering the conversation toward the project she desired to secure for Mark’s sake.

Coincidentally, Kyle happened to look for cooperation on this.

Kyle didn’t mind working with Mark since the cooperation could bring him countless exclusive benefits.

If the cooperation was established, he could form a connection with the Fowler family and also give a helping hand on Albert’s promising career.

It was like killing multiple birds with just a single stone.

Thinking of this, Kyle agreed to her proposal, which sent Rena over the moon.

“Well, let’s meet at the charity party next week,” she said to Kyle.

“We can sign the contract by then.”

Kyle chuckled.

“Rena, you truly are a skilled businesswoman,” he complimented her.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go back to the business world? I have many projects in hand. If you want to, I would love to share some of the work with you or Mark. Of course, it would be better if Albert could continue to learn something from your substantial guidance.”

Rena just smiled silently.

She did all these to get Albert occupied with work and make it less possible for him to show up in her life.

She wanted Albert to take charge of the family business willingly.

That way, he might fail to make time to chase after her anymore.

Albert had stated he had a crush on her. Moreover, he kept showing around her. Although Waylen didn’t voice his displeasure about this,

Rena knew she needed to do something.

Although Rena had lots of thoughts swirling in her mind, she didn’t blurt any of them out loud.

Their phone conversation was ended.

But mere seconds after, her phone rang again. This time, Vera’s name was flashing on the screen.

Upon connection, Vera hastened to tell Rena that Aline was sentenced in advance because of various interferences.
