To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 687 Becoming the Heir

The question seemed to weigh heavily on Julian. Jenny stared at him in silence for a while before he slowly spoke up, "That's not exactly the case."

Then, he continued, "Although Grandpa has summoned many members of the Faust family back from everywhere, the biggest threat among them is Alec. After all, someone could easily obtain information about his abilities the moment they looked into it. Grandpa has praised him immensely. He has just returned to the Faust family but has secured himself a position in Faust Group. No one else was given this much recognition."

Julian himself had only recently joined the company. On the other hand, Alec had only been back for a short time, but he'd become a part of Faust Group. It was obvious that Zeke valued Alec a lot, naturally making the rest of them nervous.

As an outsider, Jenny could see through Zeke's intentions at a glance. He purposely directed the attention of his sons and grandsons toward Alec, as he believed that Alec would be a good challenge to make them grow and improve. Zeke was ruthless; he didn't consider whether Alec could handle the onslaught.

"Even so, Alec shouldn't pose such a big threat to you guys." After all, Julian and the others were the ones who held actual power within the Fausts, which was completely different from Alec's situation. Zeke seemed to hold high expectations for Alec by allowing him to join Faust Group. However, Jenny wasn't sure if Alec had any real power in the family. It was possible that he might not even be able to order the staff around.

Julian nodded and whispered beside Jenny, "Actually, I don't really care about it. It's mainly because my cousin, Luke, seems very wary of Alec. That's why I started to become concerned too. After all, Luke's much smarter than me.'

"

Luke, the Faust family's eldest grandson, had the best chance of inheriting the family. Most importantly, he was Xavier's son.

"However, now I think Luke might be right. Look, it's only been a few days, and he has already struck up a connection with the Watkins. That's enough to show how capable he is." Julian's face turned grim. Jenny reached out and patted his head. "You're young, but you try to look mature beyond your years. How unattractive."

"How dare you pat me." Julian touched his head, furious.

"What's wrong with that? You're just a kid." Jenny rolled her eyes at him. Julian was just an immature child who hadn't fully grown up, despite his efforts to appear sophisticated and mature.

"You...just wait. I'm going to tell my sister on you," Julian said, getting up as if to report the incident to his sister.

Jenny looked at him with a faint smile, not the least bit flustered.

The way she looked at Julian made him feel a little embarrassed. "Forget it. I can't be bothered to deal with you."

"Are you interested in inheriting the family business?" Jenny asked suddenly.

Julian shook his head. "No, I like painting. My dream is to become an artist."

"Then why bother competing with them? Just be yourself and do what you want." Jenny looked into his eyes, speaking from her heart.

She wouldn't be bothered to take over the Walter family if any other Walter could inherit it. However, it was fine for her. Even if she eventually inherited the Walter family business, she didn't need to watch over it every day. She could still do what she liked, but she had to endure it for now.

Jenny's words made Julian fall silent, and he sat beside her. "It's not that easy. Being born as a Faust means we're destined to compete with each other. If I don't fight for my place and Uncle Xavier ends up inheriting everything in the end, my family and I will suffer miserably."

Julian wasn't foolish. If he wanted to survive in the Faust family, he had to compete. He had understood it since he was born.
