To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 859

After Jenny finished speaking, the living room fell into complete silence, which made her somewhat worried. In fact, that wasn't the first time she'd said such things. From the very beginning, when Evan decided to join Walter Inc, she'd made herself clear. It was simple: she didn't like him.
