To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 823

"When have I ever not made an improvement?" Alec retorted, rolling his eyes.

Paul shook his head, laughing. "Alright, fuck off then. I still have things to do."

Alec got up. He was about to leave anyway. "Be patient with Stephanie. Do some gestures that are meaningful to her, and don't force her to do anything again. You wouldn't be able to take any of Jenny's retaliations right now."

"Fine, goddamn it. I know I'm no match for either of you." Paul rolled his eyes. Alec clearly just didn't want to get on Jenny's bad side.

Still, even as Jenny was powerful on the surface, she might not have the same reign and tenacity in the underworld where Paul ruled.

Knowing Paul had his backup plans, Alec left the office.

He soon got a call from Zeke, asking him to come over. Alec didn't refuse, having already guessed what it would be for. He might as well explain himself, seeing they were still working together.

Meanwhile, Blake was under her family's spotlight back home, their gazes mixed with contempt, amusement, and ridicule.

Blake knew very well what was on their mind; how much of a laughing stock she was after all the effort to climb onto Alec Faust had gone to waste just like that.

"He hadn't even inherited the family title before he broke up with her," they sneered.

Even Blake found it ridiculous.

"Wasn't your relationship going smoothly? Why the sudden breakup?" Blake's grandfather grumbled. He had held out hope that Blake would succeed with her plans. That was down the drain now.
