Chapter 436 What Bad Luck

Graham returned to Walter Castle at night after his work engagements. Rowena and Jolene were in the

living room, and Jolene quickly went up to support him. "Dad, why did you get drunk again?"

“I'm alright." He waved at her, and she helped him to sit on the sofa.

She poured him a glass of water and massaged his shoulders. "Dad, I've told you not to overwork

yourself. Mom and I would feel bad." Jolene heard Rowena scoffing and quickly glared at her so that

she'd shut up in case the situation ended in fights like before.

Graham was patient around his daughter. "Yeah. I'll take note of it next time."

Jolene mumbled unhappily to herself. Seeing that, Graham changed the topic and announced, "Harvey

Spade is in the hospital. You should visit him someday."

Even though he didn't specifically address anyone, it was clear that Rowena had to take charge of the

visit.

"Okay." Rowena nodded. She had gotten wind of the news early on and would have arranged for

someone to pay a visit even without Graham reminding her.

That was right; she would ask someone to pay Harvey Spade a visit on her behalf. As the matriarch of

one of the Ten Elites in Bardoff City, she thought it was beneath her to personally attend to matters

concerning second-class families.

’ I was discussing this with Mom!" Jolene perked up. A day was sufficient for her to collect all the

information. "Rumors had it that Christopher had brought the woman home, but his parents disagreed

with their relationship and had an argument with Harvey Spade. Harvey Spade got too agitated and

had a cerebral hemorrhage," she rattled on.

Graham had no idea about the specifics of the incident, nor was he interested. He only knew that many

were ready to attack the Spades after the hospitalization of its patriarch, and he wondered if

Christopher could withstand the pressure.

“I heard her name is Jenny Walter. We share the same surname. What bad luck!" Jolene had no regard

for those from smaller cities than Bardoff, and it bothered her that Jenny was a Walter too. In her eyes,

her family name was far superior. She was raised as the proud daughter of one of the Ten Elites in

Bardoff, and she couldn't stand the fact that she would share a surname with someone beneath her.

Before Graham got home, she had been discussing with Rowena if they should ask Jenny Walter to

change her surname.

Still, she was smart enough not to bring up the issue in front of Graham, for he hated any abuse of

power.

Graham froze in shock when he heard Jenny's name, and his eyes widened in disbelief. 'What was her

name again?"

"Jenny Walter. What's wrong, Dad?" Jolene stared at him, puzzled by his unnecessary question.

He shook his head and said, "Nothing. I think it's fate that both of us are Walters."

"It's not fate-just bad luck,' Jolene protested, frowning.

Graham was unhappy at her comment and schooled her, "Jo, do you remember what I've taught you?"

Jolene lowered her head and avoided his gaze. He continued, "Wealth doesn't equal impunity. The fact

is that she shares the Walter surname. How is that bad luck?"

He appeared upset upon thinking that Jolene had been raised wrong by her mom. He thought, "She

didn't learn the right values but was quick to absorb bad influence."

Jolene pursed her lips, looking victimized. "Dad, how can you raise your voice at me over an outsider?"

"This has nothing to do with Jenny Walter being an outsider. I scolded you because of your attitude," he

admonished her, but she was in no mood to listen. In her mind, she was wronged when her dad

scolded her over an outsider, and she instantly held a grudge against Jenny Walter, whom she had

never met.

"What's this? How could Dad scold me for a woman from a small city?

That woman is trouble!"
