To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 You? Team Up With Me?

Max was drinking wine on the balcony. Unlike the others, he wasn’t entertaining guests. He didn’t care about all this. He had his own ways of improving the Pearson family.

A figure strode onto the balcony. Max looked up to see who it was. When he did, he frowned, expression darkening.

“Max, are you interested in discussing an alliance?” Yvonne asked, beaming. Her lips were scarlet, her smile bright. Although she could not compare to Jenny’s classic beauty, she had her own charm.

In Parrington, Jenny wasn’t the only one who received the attention of the masses. If everyone didn’t already know that Yvonne was interested in Alec, she would have countless men pursuing her.

Max drained his wine in one gulp. With a slightly playful expression, he asked, “Alliance? Do we have anything in common for an alliance?”

“Of course we do,” Yvonne answered.

She approached Max, the scent of her perfume suffusing the air and assaulting Max’s nostrils. He became very discomfited.

Max took a few steps to the side, not trying even slightly to hide his distaste. “You’re a scion of the Dickmans. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to use your feminine wiles against me?”

“Max…”

“Don’t shoot those looks at me. I’m not interested in you.” He despised anyone who was involved with Alec Faust.

Yvonne paled. She had never been put in such an awkward position before in her life. She put away her frozen smile. Without wasting time, she asked, “I heard that you’re pursuing Jenny Walter?”

“Yeah? So?” Max raised an eyebrow, feeling intrigued.

“I can help you,” Yvonne said.

Max laughed out loud. Leaning against the railing, he looked at her with interest. “And why would you?”

“You want her, while I want Alec. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to see them remarried.” She was candid. With a man like Max Pearson, lies were useless.

Max nodded, seeming to acquiesce. “You have a point.”
