To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 I’m Sorry, I Can’t Help You

When Alec returned to Faust Mansion from the company at 8.00 pm, he spotted Yvonne standing outside.

“What are you doing here?” he asked as he got out of the car and approached her. His feelings were rather complicated. He could guess why she was there. After all, everyone in Parrington knew what was happening to the Dickmans. There was only one reason Yvonne would come to him now.

A little embarrassed, Yvonne cast her bloodshot eyes upon him. “Alec, can you help my family just this once?”

“Let’s go in to talk.” Alec didn’t agree, nor did he refuse,

Yvonne didn’t move from her spot. “I won’t go in. I came today to hear your answer.”

Hearing that, Alec didn’t insist. After staring at her for a long time, he finally said, “I’m sorry, Yvonne. I can’t help you.”

“Alec, if you don’t help my family, my dad will make me marry into the Blooms. The rest of my life will be traded for the sake of an alliance between the Dickmans and the Blooms. Can’t you help me?

She looked at him pleadingly, wishing he could help her, even if it was only for this one time.

With a deep frown, Alec said solemnly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let your father do that to you.”

While he couldn’t help the Dickmans, he could help Yvonne avoid the arranged marriage. However, that was not what Yvonne wanted.

“That’s all you’ll do?” Suddenly, Alec seemed so unfamiliar to her. Perhaps it was because she had never truly understood him.

“Yvonne, even though the police didn’t find evidence against you, we both know why Steven died. The most I can do for you is to not do anything.”
