To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 724

"I know you like me, McKenna, but please understand, I only do like you as a sister," Derrick repeated as if he was the one being wronged.

Now that she had seen how big an asshole Derrick was, any lingering feelings she had for him had dissipated entirely. "Just you fucking wait, you dick!"

She'd make sure Derrick would pay for treating her like a lovesick idiot!

As she stormed away, Derrick couldn't help but worry about his job stability. McKenna's father was his superior, after all, so he would be in deep shit if they really planned to punish him. But still, the man was known to keep personal and professional matters apart, so Derrick might not suffer too much at his hands. Plus, it's not like he reached beyond first base with McKenna.

Derrick relaxed upon reassuring himself. Now he should focus on how to score with Jenny.

He gave his friends in Parrington a call to update himself on Jenny's life there. Because of this call, he came to hear Jenny's true identity as the daughter of the Walter family. A family that was one of the Ten Elites of Bardoff City.

Though Derrick had never gotten so much as a glimpse of the Ten Elites, he had still heard of them.

It suddenly felt surreal how close he was to one of the Elites. His worries for life after marriage with Jenny swiftly dissipated as well. Not only would he gain a reputation after marrying her, but he'd also no longer have to worry about not living well.

Derrick snickered at the thought, as if he had actually married Jenny.

Jenny, meanwhile, had long forgotten about him. To her, any more time spent dealing with that man was time wasted.
