To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 676 Any Consolation Is Meaningless

Jenny wanted to say that James was her senior and was like family to her. But when she was about to say that, she suddenly noticed Alec's abnormal interest in her affairs. She stared at him suspiciously and said, "Mr. Faust, aren't you getting too involved in my business?"

"Do you really think I care? I was just worried our collaboration would be affected if you were in such a state. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered." Alec sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

"Is that so?" Jenny responded. She couldn't quite shake off the feeling that something was off.

To be exact, something had felt off about Alec ever since he had called her. He hadn't taken the initiative to see her since he went missing. Today, he called her and even handed her information about the Glasses. The reason behind his actions didn't seem as simple as he made them out to be.

"What else do you think it could be? You don't seriously think I care about you, do you?" He spoke sarcastically with contempt in his eyes.

Jenny had suspicions of that being the case, but now, that conjecture was thoroughly overturned.

"That would be the best. You and I aren't close friends or confidants, so you shouldn't ask me about my business in the future." Alec wasn't the only one capable of blunt and insensitive remarks. Two could play that game.

Alec was annoyed and felt that he was wasting his breath. "Rest assured that I'm not interested in your affairs."

"But I'm quite interested in your business, though." Jenny suddenly started smiling. "What's going on between you and Miss Watkins?"

Alec's expression stiffened. He couldn't quite catch up to Jenny's tone, which changed all of a sudden.

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Nothing. I'm just curious." Jenny smiled, not caring if Alec answered her question or not. She was just asking casually.

However, she was indeed a little curious. How did the young lady of the Watkins get involved with Alec? The Watkins was much more influential than the Walters-they were basically second only to the Fausts Why would such a person support Alec? What were her motives for doing so?

Alec gave her an unamused glare and said coldly, "Don't be nosy. We're just business partners. You don't need to know things outside of our collaboration."

Jenny acknowledged what he said perfunctorily and grumbled that he was the one who started the topic first.

"I'll be leaving," she announced. She didn't want to waste her breath talking to him when they didn't have a common ground.

This time, Alec didn't stop her. He realized he'd been paying too much attention to her, which made him feel a little annoyed. He'd just done a therapy session with Blake in the morning, but he couldn't control his emotions when he saw Jenny again.

At that moment, Alec couldn't help but wonder if his fondness for Jenny was really just a psychological problem or if he actually liked her. He quickly dismissed the thought as soon as it arose, thinking it was impossible. He never looked back and wouldn't get hung up on a woman.

With that in mind, he got up and left. He had to keep himself busy, so he wouldn't have time to think too much.

After Jenny left Alec's villa, she walked past James' house and resisted the urge to knock on his door. She stared at the door for a while and left. At this time, any words of consolation were meaningless for him Perhaps he didn't want any comfort either.

As she got into her car, Jenny suddenly remembered that Alec had said he'd merged his company with Paul's. Did this mean Paul had also come to Bardoff City?

"No! I have to warn Stephanie. Otherwise, Paul might bother her again," Jenny thought.

Unbeknownst to Jenny, Stephanie was sitting right across from Paul when she answered Jenny's call. The atmosphere was stifling.
