To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Who Would Care?

She said nothing. Max, however, didn’t intend to stop just there. “Go on, tell me. What happened between you and Alec? Are you really not going to give him a chance?”

She was silent.

“You know, I don’t think you should blame him for this. It’s his best friend, after all. Plus, I believe he must have made sure Stephanie was alright, which is why he was in no hurry to tell you. Even if you hadn’t found Paul, Stephanie would have come back safely.”

Jenny thought his words made sense. She looked at him and laughed. “Did an alien replace you? You’re backing him up?”

Max treated Alec like his enemy, but he was not fanning the flames. Conversely, he was taking Alec’s side. It was very unusual.

Max coughed dryly to ease the awkwardness. “You don’t know my true motives, then.”

“Really? Pray tell.” Jenny looked at him with a smile, waiting to see how he’d explain this.

“If you get back together, Alec will focus all his energy on you. He wouldn’t control Faust Group as much. And I would be able to seize the opportunity. Besides, you’d be his weak spot. If I had no choice in the future, I’d just take you as a hostage. It’s a better situation for me than before, when he had no weak spots.

His words made sense, but Jenny didn’t believe him. Someone like Max wouldn’t think that far. He derived pleasure upfront.

She thought it was weird, but she couldn’t think of the reason. She stared at Max for a few seconds before saying, “I’m not sure how much Alec had to bribe you for you to say this.”

“Bribe?” Max chuckled. “The bad blood between us can’t be washed away with money.”
