To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 Don’t Make Me Wait

Gilbert and Max worked quickly. The moment their partnership was confirmed, they eagerly began attacking the Dickmans. They were so fast that the Dickmans had no time to curate a proper response.

In the president’s office in Dickman LLC, Yvonne stood politely before the table and looked at the middle- aged man behind the desk. He was berating her, and she dared not retort.

“Yvonne, you’re my daughter. You should know the pressure that I’m bearing, having you in your position. My subordinates are all accusing me of letting you in through my connections. You must work harder.” The man who was speaking was her father, George Dickman.

Yvonne nodded her head quickly. She looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, father. I’ve disappointed you.”

“Indeed, you have.” George’s face was ice cold. He stared at her for a long while before saying, “But not because of the problems that we’ve encountered today, but rather, because of your future marriage.”

“Dad…” Yvonne bit her lip. She knew what he was going to say.

“The Bloom family’s son isn’t too bad. You should give it a try,” George said.

Yvonne kept her head low. She didn’t want the man before her to see the hatred in her eyes. “Dad, I already have someone I like.”

“Alec Faust, am I right? I know.” George smiled lightly. “Everyone in Parrington knows, but what’s the use? Does he like you back? All this while, you’ve wasted too much time on him. If the Dickmans run into trouble, you know what to do.”

Yvonne’s face turned pale. She looked at her father in disbelief. “Dad, we’ve run into some problems now, but surely that doesn’t mean we need to arrange a marriage?”

“The Pearsons and that boy Gilbert are coming on strong. Although we’re powerful, we should be on our guard.” He looked at his daughter gravely.

Yvonne was silent. George continued, “The Blooms have spoken. If you marry into their family, they will help us counter those two families. With their support, we might even take down Gilbert and the Pearsons.”

Yvonne understood all this, but she could not accept it.

She was his daughter. She was a living, breathing human being. How could she be traded off like property?
