Upon hearing that, Zeke's frown deepened immensely. "He may not be able to resolve everything now, but you should take into account the fact that I'm not dead yet!""How can he be so sure that Yakov won't be able to sort out our family's mess with me watching over him? What arrogance!" Zeke fumed inwardly."Since you don't believe me, let's wait and see." Alec stood up. He didn't intend to do anything to Zeke right then; he just wanted to vent.As he reached the door, Alec stopped in his tracks and turned back. "You're old now. There are many things that you can't do anymore."Zeke's face turned ashen instantly, and he stared coldly in the direction Alec left.Alec quickly disappeared from Faust Manor. He seemed to have come over just to say those words on purpose, and Zeke was baffled about his intentions."Go find out what happened." Zeke had experienced many things and lived for many years. He was aware that Alec's behavior was unusual.The butler nodded worriedly. "Sir, Mr.
Alec was amused by her words and stared at her with a hint of derision. "Do you think we're that close?""Alec, I know you're upset because of Jenny, but you don't have to take it out on me." Blake was displeased. No matter what, she was still a daughter of an affluent family. Although she didn't have much presence within the family, no one else dared to talk to her so rudely.Unfortunately for her, Alec never cared about her status or upbringing.He looked at her impassively, and Blake felt a shiver run down her spine. "I know about Jenny's situation, but I swear it has nothing to do with the Watkins. They wouldn't want to mess with the Walters."Even until now, the Fausts were still keeping an eye on the Watkins. If the Watkins dared to offend the Walters at this time, they would be seeking death."What do you want from me?" Alec was not in the mood to chat with her and just wanted to send her away."I just came to see you. You must be feeling bad about Jenny taking care of Eva
Blake was speechless hearing Alec's words. She didn't expect Jenny would decide to take care of Evan for the rest of his life. If that was the case, she couldn't do anything about it. "I can't possibly ask Jenny to give up on that idea, can I?" Blake started racking her brain for a solution.While she was nagging about the impossibility of it all internally, Alec suddenly spoke up. "If you want me to help you take over the Watkins family, it's not entirely impossible." Upon hearing that, Blake's eyes lit up. "Are you agreeing to help me?" she asked. "I can help you take control over the Watkins on the condition that I can successfully gain control over the Fausts. So, you have to find a way for the Watkins to stir up some trouble, do you know what I mean?" Blake was stunned for a moment, but she soon understood what Alec was hinting at. The Fausts were already in trouble, and giving them more trouble at this time would double the pressure on Yakov and render him unable to cope
Soon, her hair was blown dry. Alec then asked, "Have you had dinner?""Not yet." She'd just come home from the hospital, and all she'd wanted was a shower and good sleep. She hadn't been getting good rest these few days."I'll make something for you." Alec got up, wanting to go into the kitchen.Jenny grabbed him quickly. "There's no need. There aren't a lot of ingredients here. Let's just order takeout."She could smell the alcohol on Alec. He'd just come home and had to be exhausted. She couldn't bear to let him cook for her."That's fine too." Alec did not insist on cooking. He was actually feeling dizzy, but that didn't stop him from cooking for her if needed.They went back to the living room, and Alec shut her door, saying, "You should be more careful in the future. What if someone else besides me were to walk in? That would be dangerous.""Okay." Jenny nodded. She wasn't this careless before. She was probably too exhausted to notice. She was debating with herself whether
Maybe her feelings had been suppressed for too long. Jenny didn't know what was going through her mind. When Alec prepared to leave, she pulled him back and kissed him on the lips.She felt that she had gone mad.But then Alec pushed her away and stared into her eyes. "Do you know what you're doing?""I don't. I don't know anything at all." She didn't want to know, either, and she didn't want to think. She was only following her heart."You'll have to remember that you brought this on yourself." Before Jenny could respond, Alec leaned in and kissed her passionately.How they got to the bedroom and ended up lying on the bed was just a blur in Jenny's head. But when she woke up the next morning, her body ached all over as if a tank had run over her in the night.She came to her senses and stared at the empty bedroom, their clothes scattered all over the floor. It was then that she understood what had happened last night.She and Alec…She held her head, feeling a headache coming.
"There's no need. I'll go over by myself," Jenny declined quickly. Things were incredibly awkward.Unfortunately, Evan refused to leave. "I'm already downstairs. Aren't you going to let me go up? Besides, you have to move all your things. Can you handle them?"God knew how happy Evan was when Jenny agreed to move in with him. He'd come there early to personally bring her over.Jenny wanted to say that she could, but he was already downstairs. He wouldn't leave no matter what she said. "I'll come down to get you.""It's alright. I have an assistant. Just tell me which floor you're on." Evan didn't want to trouble Jenny. He was wheelchair-bound, but that didn't mean he had completely lost his mobility.Jenny had no choice but to tell him which floor she was on. She hung up and looked at Alec anxiously."Evan is coming up. Why don't you…" Jenny opened her mouth to speak but didn't know how to express what she wanted. Alec had made this breakfast. How could she chase him out?Alec k
He said it sincerely. Jenny's eyes reddened as she listened.But Alec wanted to laugh. Evan's words sounded sweet, but he wouldn't have said things like that if he didn't want her to stay with him. He was saying it only because he was sure that she would agree."You don't have to say anymore, Evan. I'm taking care of you voluntarily," Jenny replied. She wasn't cold and ruthless. Evan had sacrificed his life for her. Couldn't she take care of him?Alec said that Evan was being selfish. Jenny felt that if she were to decline Evan, she'd be the selfish one.Jenny's response was just as Alec expected. He glared at Evan coldly. Why hadn't he realized how sly this person was before?Alec said nothing. He knew that he couldn't change anything."Come eat breakfast, Jenny," Alec said. He ignored Evan altogether.Jenny murmured in response and looked at Evan. "Have you eaten, Evan?""Yes, I have. You can go eat." Evan smiled at her. He didn't care if he suffered for a bit, as long as thi
When Jenny heard that, she opened her mouth, yet was at a loss for words. She chose to remain silent.Not long after, they reached Evan's villa. Howard helped her bring her things inside."Jenny, go pick out a room that you like." There were many rooms in the villa. Besides the master bedroom where he slept, every other room was empty."I'll just stay in the room next to yours.=," Jenny said. "It'll be easier for me to care for you.""Alright." Evan nodded and looked at Howard. "Put Jenny's things in the room.""Alright." Howard took her suitcases upstairs.Jenny stared as Howard left. It was then that Evan introduced him to her. "He was my assistant when I was overseas. When he heard about the incident, he flew over to see me. You can order him around in the future.""He…probably isn't just an assistant, is he?" Jenny smiled dryly. She wasn't clueless about what Evan did. How could he have an assistant in this situation?Evan was stunned. He'd forgotten that he had already tol
