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
Howard didn't fret about the matter. He looked at the room next door, seemingly struggling to find the words to say. "Do you really like Jenny, sir?""I'm warning you, don't you dare harbor any ill-intentions toward her." Evan's face turned sour. He would not allow anyone to lay their hands on Jenny, not even Howard.Howard turned pale, understanding what Evan meant. "You care too much for her. That's not good."If he cared too much about her, she would become his weakness. If Evan had a weakness, he would not be able to be the commander of his assassins."This is my personal business. It's none of yours." Evan waved him off, clearly not wanting to talk about it anymore.Howard had no choice but to stay silent."You may leave." Evan sat in his wheelchair once more, becoming immobile.Howard's eyes flickered. He left the bedroom, saying nothing.After he left, Evan left his room and knocked on Jenny's door.Jenny was lying on the foreign bed. She wasn't sleepy, so when she hear
Alec wasn't too surprised. It was to be expected. "There are many families in Bardoff City. Plenty of them have their sights set on the Fausts. They never had the chance to strike before, but now they do. Of course, they'd have to kick them down. We'll just wait. As long as Zeke does not think of a plan quickly, those people will only grow more aggressive, and the Fausts will be destroyed."When that time came, they might even be bankrupt. After all, the Fausts were not doing clean work."What if Zeke would rather let the Fausts be destroyed than look for your help?" Vincent knew that Alec's ultimate goal was to inherit the Fausts. He was afraid that Zeke would be stubborn.Alec sneered, not worried at all. "Relax. He'd never sit by and watch if that happened."Alec knew how much Zeke valued the Fausts. That was precisely the reason Alec was sure he would become their last hope."Okay." Vincent harbored no doubts. He trusted Alec's abilities fully.He hadn't yet left the room. Al
"I just moved in. I'll be your neighbor from now on." He didn't want Jenny to put all of her effort into taking care of Evan. It didn't matter if she had no feelings for him now. They could develop in the future.In Alec's eyes, after what had happened the previous night, Jenny was already his. Evan was trying to fight him for her. Well, that would depend on whether he couldJenny was speechless. Alec was on the second floor of the villa next to them. He wasn't kidding."You've got too much time on your hands, Mr. Faust." Evan sneered, suppressing the anger in his chest."Not really. I'm just rich." Although Alec still hadn't inherited the Fausts, money was not a problem.His words incensed Evan. Alec was rich; that was true. Evan busted his ass off overseas, sacrificing his life for money, and was still nowhere as rich as Alec.Sometimes he was amazed by how unfair life could be.Alec was born into a more affluent family than he was. That was fine because Evan could fight for t
"What are you doing, Alec?" Jenny glared at him. She hadn't expected him to move and to be so near.Alec smiled at her. This villa was built in the perfect spot. Even if Jenny and Evan stayed in the same room, he would be able to see their movements. It was so convenient."Have you had your lunch?" Alec asked.Jenny nodded, thinking that he simply had nothing to do. "You look carefree.""Not really. I just miss you," Alec said those tender words with a tender look on his face. Jenny blushed, unable to describe what she was feeling.Just before she was about to speak, Evan pushed his window open next door. He glared at Alec coldly and said, "Do you know what being a public nuisance means?""Was I being that loud? Were you tossing and turning in bed, perhaps?" Alec mocked. He hadn't even been able to talk with Jenny.Evan didn't plan on arguing with him. He looked at Jenny. "You can go over to his house if you'd like to say anything to him. I'd like to rest.""Sorry, Evan," Jenny
