To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 111

Chapter 111 Worth More Than A Hundred Millon

Alec felt like he was collateral damage in the exchange. Jenny was also stunned. Had Old Mr. Faust forgotten that they had already divorced?

After a while, Old Mr. Faust returned the lapis lazuli stone to its place while giving Yvonne and her friend a disdainful look. "From how you treat this lapis lazuli stone, I'd have thought you were the richest person in Parrington. It's worth more than a hundred million dollars, you know."

Even though he was directing those words at her friend, Yvonne still blushed with embarrassment.

A hundred million dollars?

Who'd have thought this rock could be worth more than a hundred million?

Moreover, where did Jenny even get that much money? What was her relationship with Old Mr. Faust?

Everyone's curiosity was piqued.

Some even suspected that Jenny was one of Old Mr. Faust's illegitimate daughters. After all, hers was the most expensive gift tonight. Why would she give him such an expensive gift if they weren't related?

Wif

Old Mr. Faust knew what the others were thinking. He glanced at them and said sternly, "Jenny is Alec's

so she's my granddaughter-in-law. What's so surprising about her giving me a lavish gift?"

Alec's wife?

Everyone's jaws dropped in disbelief.

Was she the wife that Alec had been forced to marry?

It didn't seem like it.

"Are you confused about something? Jenny and Alec are divorced." Max appeared, holding a wine glass. He had been watching from the sidelines for a while and hadn't planned to interfere, but what Old Mr. Faust said didn't quite agree with him. He walked over to Jenny and told Old Mr. Faust and Alex purposefully, "Jenny is my date for tonight."

Old Mr. Faust frowned. "What relationship do you have with Jenny, Pearson?"

"We're friends," Max answered cheerfully. "Of course, that may change soon. I'm confident that Jenny will agree to be my girlfriend."

Exasperated, Jenny gave him a side-eye, but she did not refute him. If this could make Old Mr. Faust stop trying to get Alec and her back together, then she might as well leave it be.

Hearing this, Old Mr. Faust was furious. He was angry that Max was trying to take Jenny away from Alec, and also the apparent fact that Alec was letting him.

"Even though Jenny and Alex are divorced, she still calls me Grandpa. To live up to the name, I'll need to help her vet her partners." Old Mr. Faust examined Max from head to toe. "She's out of your league. Just give up."

Max was speechless. He could see that Old Mr. Faust was still trying to get Jenny and Alec back together, but he wasn't about to back down so easily. "Unfortunately, I don't think you have any say in this." Seeing that Old Mr. Faust was about to rebuke him, Jenny interrupted, "Grandpa, it's your birthday today. Don't let these frivolous matters affect your mood."

"You're right." Old Mr. Faust nodded. "That's a wrap, people. Let the banquet resume."

The crowd dispersed reluctantly. Yvonne was still stunned when she was dragged away by her friend.

Jenny also made to leave with Max. After all, she was also a guest at the banquet.

"Jenny, can we talk?" Old Mr. Faust stopped her.

Jenny didn't refuse. "You can leave first," she told Max.

"Okay." Max nodded, then said with a grin, "Don't forget, you're my partner tonight. Don't get too close to other men."

"Don't worry, I won't forget it even if I wanted to," Jenny said in exasperation.
