To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1033

Alec straightened up, smiling gleefully. "You say that, but we both know you're just begging for my help right now."

Their statuses had swapped for good, so Alec felt like he could finally express displeasure with the old man's tone.

"Yes," Zeke gritted out quietly.

Seeing him surrender, Julian snarled, "Show some respect, Alec Faust! Didn't you always want the title as the family's head? Well, now you have it, so you better at least be grateful to Grandad!"

"Julian!" Zeke grunted, glaring at his grandson.

But Alec remained unperturbed. He gazed at Julian. "Why should I be grateful? I wouldn't be here today if you all had a plan to deal with your family crisis, no?"

His words were replied with silence.

"So, shouldn't you be grateful for me instead for saving the family from being wiped out in Bardoff City?" Alec grinned.

Julian had never been so disrespected in his entire life as a Faust. But Yakov held him back from retorting.

When Xavier was still around, Yakov had considered aiming for the family head in competition with his brother. When Alec showed up, the two teamed together to take him down.

At that point in time, Yakov hadn't given up yet.

But after his brother died and the mantle of the family passed onto him, he realized he didn't have what it takes.

He barely knew how to manage a business and keep the company going. He couldn't even compare to his late brother, not to mention Alec himself.

That was why Yakov had truly been over all this family head bullshit. All he felt when Zeke mentioned passing the mantle to Alec was relief.
