To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Killed His Father?

Jenny and Max were enjoying their conversation. She discovered that he was pretty interesting. At least he wasn't repulsive. As the dinner had come to an end, Jenny followed Gilbert and left together. Before they left, Max said reluctantly to her, "Goodbye, Dr. Walter."

"Okay, goodbye." Jenny waved at him before she got in the car and left.

Max finally wiped the smile off his face when the car vanished in the darkness. He reached up to massage his face to relieve the numbness in his cheeks. He turned around just to see Alec standing behind him.

"Alec Faust. Are you trying to scare this late at night?" he said unhappily as he took a few steps back. After all, he couldn't beat this guy. Alec stared at him with a dark expression.

"Don't involve unrelated people in our business."

Max laughed. He rubbed his ears and asked in disbelief, "What did you say? I must have misheard. You actually care about a woman?"

"Max, just because I didn't bother about childish actions in the past doesn't mean I won't take action against you," Alex said in a deep voice. For years, Max had been giving him trouble. Alec didn't bother. After all, he was also one of the victims of that incident back then.

However, there was a limit to his patience.

Max's expression turned ugly upon hearing Alec's words, "So, you're saying that I've only been getting away with it all these years because you didn't bother to do anything?"

"Duh. What did you think?" He looked at Max like he was mentally-retarded.

He successfully triggered Max. Max pointed at Alec as he said, "Alec, stop acting like you're so mature. Do you really think you're all that? If you're really such a tough guy, kill me then." "Otherwise, I'm going to kill you and your entire family sooner or later!"

After he finished speaking, Alec finally replied calmly with a look of disdain, "Is that so? I only fear that you don't have that capability."

"You just wait and see!"

Max turned around in anger. He had only taken two steps forward before he turned around again and said. to Alec, "By the way, you're interested in Dr. Walter, aren't you?" "No," Alec answered.

"No?" Max sneered. "Really? Well, I plan to go after her and make her my girlfriend. What do you think?"

As soon as he said that, Max felt a sudden drop in temperature, but his smile grew wider.

"Up to you," Alec finally said after a long while. He didn't say anything more and got up to leave.

Max clenched his fists tightly as he watched Alec walk away. He said through gritted teeth, "Up to me? We shall see if you really don't care or you're just acting like you don't."

On the other side of Gilbert's car, Jenny massaged her temples, feeling a little tired. it seemed like she wasn't cut out for dinners like this.

"How did you know Max?" Gilbert suddenly asked as he drove. He didn't look too happy either.

"I met him at the dinner just now," Jenny answered before she asked, "Why?"

"Nothing. He's just an unpredictable person. You should stay away from him," Gilbert said as he knitted his brows.

Jenny nodded. She never planned to get close to Max anyway.

"The Pearson family wasn't doing well a few years back. Max suddenly killed his father when the family was about to go bankrupt and successfully took over the company. That's how the family became what it is today," Gilbert continued, afraid that Jenny wasn't taking it seriously. At present, the Pearson family was also a force to be reckoned with in Parrington. They may not be as powerful as the Faust family, but they shouldn't be underestimated.

"He killed his father?" Jenny was in disbelief.

"That's what everyone says. There must be some truth to it then," Gilbert answered. He continued, "He's exceptionally dangerous, not as harmless as he seems."

Jenny nodded, indicating her understanding.

Soon, the car stopped outside the entrance to the neighborhood. Jenny waved goodbye to Gilbert. It was only after the car disappeared from sight that she walked to a store on the other side of the road for some food before walking back.

What shocked her was that Alec was standing before the elevator doors, looking as though he'd been waiting for her.

Jenny shook her head. It must be a coincidence. After all, Alec lived here as well.

She walked over without looking at Alec, pretending that she didn't know him.

However, Alec didn't behave the same way. Ever since Jenny showed up, his gaze had been glued on her.

That deep and unflinching gaze made Jenny feel uneasy all over. Just as she was about to ask what Alec meant by this, the other spoke up first.

"Is that that you'd accept any other man as long as it's not me?" he asked casually.
