Chapter 306 Too Much
Jade expressed concern about David, knowing that Jenny was grateful to him. “What about your uncle?”
she asked.
Jenny replied confidently, “He’ll understand. He’s not unreasonable.”
Jenny also warned Jade to avoid being seen by Felicity, explaining that she had told Felicity that the
company belonged to a friend but had not revealed that Jade was the general manager. If Felicity knew
that Jade was working there, she would start acting up as Jade had once lived in Orchid Village.
Jade reassured Jenny that Felicity wouldn’t have the opportunity to come to their floor, which was

Just as Jade was about to ask how things were going between Jenny and Alec, the office door opened,
and Max entered without knocking. He greeted Jenny like an old friend and sat on the sofa, indicating
that he had been there before.
Jenny wondered why Max hadn’t visited her in a long time, but she soon found out why. She smiled
mischievously at Jade, “Jade, why didn’t you tell me?”
Jade looked confused and asked, “What do you mean?” When the realization hit her, Jade said, “Don’t

knew exactly what she was thinking.
“My kindness comes at a high price,” Jenny replied.
Although Max’s face fell slightly, he forced himself to say, “My family owns many luxury shopping malls
across the country. If your brand wants to set up a store in one, I can give you a discount.”
“A discount?” Jenny found his offer amusing. “The best location, half the rent.”
Max scoffed, “Impossible!” She was asking for too much!
