To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 I Don’t Want Trouble

“Yes.” She nodded and gave him a confused look. He chuckled wryly and asked nonchalantly, “Are you going to let this slip?”

She raised a brow questioningly and waited for him to speak again.

“The Dickmans are very influential in Parrington. Gilbert’s power alone isn’t enough to get rid of them,” he explained.

“So?” She smiled as though she could anticipate his next words, but he wasn’t bothered by it. He offered, I can help.”
