To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Are You Interested in Acquiring Lawrence Solutions?

"Why? She saved you." Alec gave her a stern look, which was different from his usual gentleness.

She smiled bitterly and looked at him. "Why? What do you think?" She raised her voice and growled, "Alec, don't you know my feelings after all these years?"

He frowned with displeasure. "I recall telling you early on that you're only a little sister to me-nothing more than that."

He thought she had understood his stance because she hadn't brought up the topic after that. Who would have known?

"True. You have rejected me from the start." She nodded, the smile disappearing from her face. "But I love you. How can I possibly give up on you?"

"And that's why you attacked Dr. Walter?" He frowned again. "You should've come for me instead. What does she have to do with our relationship?"

She wiped away a rogue tear that almost slid down her cheek. "Alec, I know you too well. Even though you're reluctant to admit it, I could tell that Dr. Walter is special to you from the way you treat her. But I cannot accept it! You've only known her for a short time. So what if you were once married to each other? If you were destined to be with each other, you wouldn't have divorced. If so, why would fate lead you to meet her again?"

She was at her wits' end. It felt like the gods were playing with the fates of mortals.

His face darkened. Staring intently at her, he asked, "How do you know she's my ex-wife? Since when?"

"I went to the office to meet you some time ago. And I overheard your conversation with Vincent," she replied. Exhausted, she staggered to the sofa and took a seat. "So, Alec, how do you plan to deal with me? Will you hand me over to Dr. Walter or the police? Don't worry. I'll always remember how well you treated me. I won't blame you no matter what choice you make."

"Dr. Walter is the only one to blame for showing up in front of him again after their divorce," Faye thought. Alec had been mulling the same question the entire ride to Faye's place. He owed his life to Anthony. His dying wish was for Alec to take care of Faye, and Alec promised to do so. Still...

He also knew that Jenny would not let this slip.

While he was deep in thought, Faye looked calm, as though she was mentally prepared for the worst-case scenario.

A long deliberation later, he suggested, "Pack your stuff and take a flight abroad tonight. I've arranged to enroll you in a school there. And don't come home without my permission."

She felt conflicted by his answer. In the end, Alec took Anthony's kindness into consideration and decided to spare his younger sister. On the other hand, Faye knew she might never have the chance to come home after being sent overseas, which would be torture for her.

"What if I refuse?" she asked tentatively, trying one last time to stay. However, his expression fell. "I won't stop you from ruining yourself if that's what you want." He did everything in his ability to save her. He would have no choice if she refused to listen, and he was sure that the late Anthony would not have blamed him in that case.

"Okay. I'll go." She knew very well that she could only make a comeback if she chose self-preservation for

now.

She also secretly vowed to come back for Jenny one day.

Around 8 pm, Jenny woke up from a good nap and felt refreshed. She had a cold look in her eyes when she recalled the incident from earlier.

Later, she made a call. "Gilbert, are you interested in acquiring Lawrence Solutions?"
