To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 118

Chaptyer 118 Sudden Development

Stephanie fidgeted anxiously. After a beat, she said, “It’s just that the situation between us is a little complicated. The point is, I can’t explain it right now. Don’t bother with it.”

“Are you sure he’s not a scammer?” Jenny asked suspiciously.

“I’m sure of it.” Stephanie nodded. Of that point, she was certain.

Since Stephanie was so sure, Jenny felt bad about asking further. After all, these were Stephanie’s private matters. She had to give her friend some time. “Alright. Just take care of yourself.”

“Of course.” Stephanie nodded, but her heart ached.

When it came to matters of the heart, she had no resistance at all. She’d already given it all up. The thing was, she still had no clue what she meant to him.

“Mr. Spade!”

Suddenly, someone cried out further ahead. Jenny’s focus was instantly drawn there, where she found an old man with snowy hair crumpled on the ground.

“What happened?” Alec asked, rushing over.

“Mr. Spade collapsed!” a man in a suit said. His expression was panicked. He was a bodyguard tasked to protect Mr. Spade. If something bad happened, he was surely done for.

Just then, Old Mr. Faust came over as well. When he saw the man fainted on the ground, he was anxious as well. “Mr. Spade? Why didn’t he let me know he came?”

The man was a big player in Bardoff. That the man had come to celebrate his birthday was an honor for Zachary. How could he not have known that he was here?

“Mr. Spade mainly came over for a holiday. When he found out that you were throwing a birthday party, he came over to have a look. He told me not to inform you,” the suited man answered.

“Call for an ambulance immediately.” Zachary’s expression was grim. Now was not the time to assign blame. If something happened to Mr. Spade at his banquet, the entire Faust family would be in trouble.

Alec put away his cell phone. He said, “I’ve made the call.”
