"So, you think I purposely said I didn't like you to protect you?" Alec didn't understand Jenny's train of thought. He couldn't comprehend how she could come up with such an idea.

It was Jenny's turn to frown. She could sense the sarcasm in Alec's words, proving her assumption was way off the mark. She took a deep breath and tried to keep her emotions under control. "It's not like you haven't done this before."

"That was in the past."

Alec's expression became solemn. He felt ashamed he'd done such a thing before. He couldn't imagine putting in so much effort just to protect a woman. Then again, he had unresolved mental issues and wasn't in a normal state of mind at that time.

"What's done is done. So be it," he thought. Now that he was cured, he wouldn't do such a thing again.

"So, you no longer have any feelings for me now?" Jenny asked, still hoping for a different answer.

Alec nodded without hesitation. "No, I don't."

"I don't understand. What made you change overnight?" Jenny asked in disbelief.

Was everything before just an act? But why would Alec bother to put on an act at that time?

Alec knew that Jenny might continue to pester him if he didn't dispel her doubts. He asked, "I had serious mental problems before. Did you know that?"

"Yes. I even recommended a psychologist to you." Jenny nodded, not understanding why he brought that up suddenly.

"She recommended a psychologist to me?" Alec wondered silently; he had no impression of that at all. He further pondered if she was the one who introduced Blake to him. But even if that were the case, it didn't matter to him.

"The thing is I'm completely fine now. All my previous actions were caused by mental problems, which caused me to be obsessed with you. But now that I'm no longer in that state, I won't follow you around anymore. Do you understand?" Alec felt he'd laid it all out as clearly as possible.

Jenny was so surprised that she forgot to close her mouth, which had gaped open in shock. It was really too shocking. She'd thought of many reasons, but it never occurred to her that it would be that particular

reason.

"Are you sure...that mental problems can have such a big impact?" She still found it hard to believe.

Alec knew what she was thinking and was quick to respond. "If not for this, how do you explain why I don't have any feelings for you now?"

"No feelings at all, huh?" Jenny sighed inwardly.

She smiled bitterly, as she couldn't come up with an explanation either. Maybe Alec was right. She had sensed that something was wrong with him before. However...

Did he really lose all his feelings for her once he became normal again? It seemed too surreal.

"How did you come to this conclusion?" Jenny wanted to ask more questions. After all, if she didn't clarify this matter, she would probably feel troubled until she got to the bottom of it. Alec glanced at her and replied, "A psychotherapist suggested it."

"Is that so?" Jenny thought to herself and didn't know what else to say. Perhaps that was the truth. She sighed and seemed resigned. "Okay. Since that's the case, I won't bother you in the future." "That won't do." It was Alec who spoke up this time.

Feeling surprised, Jenny turned to look at Alec. He continued, "Didn't you say you would represent the Walters to collaborate with me? Was that just a lie?"

He suddenly emanated a dangerous aura. Jenny had never seen Alec like this before. She had no doubt that he would flip the table if she nodded.

"Of course...not." Jenny forced a dry laugh.

"But then, you just returned to the Fausts. Can you represent them in this situation?" Jenny was doubtful whether Alec had indeed secured the trust of the Fausts in such a short span of time.
