To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1189

Jenny was ready to leave, but she was not leaving alone. Looking at Pete, she requested, "Now, please send me home."

"Are you asking me to send you home?" He furrowed his brows, displeased at her orders.

She smiled and added, "Eric Dafoe's men are watching me nearby. They will make a move once I walk out alone. I'm not scared of them, but I don't like wasting my time warding them off. I need to get home as soon as possible to check on my dad. Got it?"

Pete, who was initially confused, finally understood the situation. "Are you using me?"

"How can you say that? As partners, you should ensure my safety. Don't you think so?" She lifted a brow at him, feeling completely justified.

Pete was unhappy but had to follow her instructions. After all, the last thing he wanted was to see Jenny harmed. They left the lounge and got into his sports car.

Eric's men were caught by surprise. "That…that woman is with Mr. Pete. Do we still make a move?"

"Of course not, stupid! We'd be damned if we injure Mr. Pete." The assassination plan was thwarted.

When Pete drove Jenny to the villa, they found Eric's men had been taken down. Mr. Ortiz was busy cleaning up at the entrance. When he saw her, he hurried over. "Miss Walter."

"Hey. Is my dad okay?" she asked.

"Mr. Walter is fine. Thankfully you arranged for adequate security, and Mr. Faust came just in time," he answered.
