To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 180

Chapter 180 | Never Thought You'd End up Like This

The Blooms would only help the Dickmans if Yvonne married Sam as soon as possible. Dickman LLC wouldn't last long under the current circumstances otherwise.

Although the wedding venue was magnificently decorated, one could tell that it was hastily set up. Alec attended the event upon receiving the invitation out of respect for the Blooms, even if he couldn't care

less about the Dickmans.

The Blooms were as influential as the Fausts in Parrington. Not only that, the family had a long history of doing business. The Fausts started to build their empire from Old Mr. Faust's generation, but it was nothing compared to the Blooms, who had hundreds of years of history and owned countless assets just

like the Fausts.

At the event, Alec listened to the conversations around him with a glass of wine in his hand. Most of the guests were mocking the marriage.

Max and Gilbert were among the guests as well. Even though they were in a bitter fight with the Dickmans, they attended the event out of courtesy after receiving an invitation from the Blooms.

Max spotted Alec and went up to him. "Oh, you're not marrying Yvonne! I thought you would."

"Marry her if you like her. I won't hold you back," Alec remarked.

Max chuckled and said, "Unlike you, I'm not her childhood friend, nor did I sleep with her. I have no reason to marry her." Alec's expression fell. He warned Max coldly, "You'd better watch your mouth. Remember that you're asking for my favor." Max sneered and said indignantly, "I didn't! We're working with each other."

"Is that so?" Alec smirked and questioned, "I wonder which of us would suffer a greater loss if we canceled the partnership?"

That immediately shut Max up. Of course, he would suffer the greatest loss if the partnership fell through.

but he'd never admit to that.

"Gilbert and I have agreed to work with you against the Dickmans." Max changed the topic while staring at the bride and groom, who were in the middle of a ceremony. He added, "Are you sure you want to go against the Dickmans? It's not too nice to turn against your family friends."

Max was astonished when Alec proposed the partnership yesterday. He always assumed that Alec would never hurt the Dickmans because of the long history between the two families, but Alec surprised him. Alec downed the wine in the glass and retracted his gaze. "If Yvonne wasn't dead set on hurting Jenny, I wouldn't have to go up against the Dickmans."

In the end, the only reason he went against the Dickmans was because of Jenny.

Max stared at him with a cheeky grin. "I never thought you'd end up like this." Alec frowned and looked at him. Max went on, "I thought I'd never replace your Achilles' heel, but look what I found today."

When Alec was first married, Max had planned to look into the background of his new.bride and use her to threaten him. But he soon ditched the plan after Alec showed no interest in his wife. After some twists and turns, Alec unexpectedly fell in love with Jenny. Perhaps, the two were destined to be together.

"I'm curious how in love you are with Jenny, and how much you're willing to give up for her." Grinning wickedly, he wondered aloud, "Would you hand over control of Faust Group to me if I abduct her to blackmail you?"

Alec was as cold as winter. "I strongly advise you against trying it."

"Oh? You sound like you really care about her." Max lifted a brow in amusement and was tempted to put his plan into action.

"If you don't want the Pearsons to end up like the Dickmans, I advise you to drop that plan," Alec warned. him with a threatening tone and shot a frosty look at him.
