Chapter 236 We're Not Close

Ex-husband?

Jade began looking at Alec differently. No wonder she thought something was off between Alec and Jenny.

"Hello, Miss Jade," Alec said exasperatedly.

Jade didn't smile at him. "Don't call me that," she sneered. "We're not close."

She didn't know much about Jenny's marriage, but she knew a little bit, at least. She knew that Alec hadn't even visited Jenny once in their marriage. It had angered not only her, but also the entire village. Alec saw the murderous gaze she was wearing, and his heart sank. He said grimly, "I was wrong. I didn't. cherish Jenny. But now I know what I did wrong, so I wish to make up for it. I hope that she'll give me another chance."

However, Jade wasn't moved by his speech. In fact, she was a little angry. "What do you take her for? Do you think she owes you a chance just because you're ashamed?"

"The Fausts of Parrington. I've heard of you. Your family is great, but your character is nothing much to talk about." Jade was not holding herself back. She didn't care that the person before her was Alec Faust whom no one in Parrington dared to upset.

Alec's face shifted, and his lips parted, but he said nothing.

Jade, however, was not going to let things rest. She glared at him and said haughtily, "Maybe you that Jenny is just a village girl and she's not worthy of you. But I think that Jenny is the best woman in the world. Since you couldn't cherish her, you should just disappear."

Jade knew that Jenny was worthy of Alec, but he was the one who wasn't worthy of her. She lived in the village and knew of Jenny's multiple identities. Although she wasn't sure what they were, she knew that Jenny was an interesting woman.

"It's alright, Jade. You don't need to waste your breath." Jenny couldn't describe what she was feeling. She'd heard everything that Jade said and seen the quietened Alec. However, she found that she wasn't as happy as she thought she would be.

Jade looked at her, upset. "Why? Are you feeling upset on his behalf?"

"I'm not." Jenny was exasperated. Why would she be upset?

"Jade, your observation is on point. Jenny is just sympathetic. Don't believe her when she says she feels nothing. Deep down, she likes Alec." Max was speaking up for Alec, and he even batted his eyelashes. Surely Alec was moved that he was standing up for him instead of fanning the flames.

However, Alec rolled his eyes and said nothing.

Jade glared at him. "You will call me Miss Jade."

"Alright, alright, Miss Jade." Max didn't argue. It didn't matter to him, as long as he could make her happy.

Soon after, the waiter served them their food, and they started eating. Alec and Jenny didn't have much of an appetite, so they only ate a little.

It was a hard meal to digest.

The four of them stood on the sidewalk. Jade looked at Alec and said unpleasantly, "Drive her home safely. If anything happens to her, I'll never let you go."

Alec was stunned. He couldn't quite believe his ears.

Jenny was surprised, too. She asked, "Where are you going. Jade?"

"Miss Jade agreed to go to the bar with me. You can sit in Alec's car. Bye!" Max answered for Jade. He ushered her toward his car, leaving behind the dazed Jenny and Alec.
