To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 883

Blake was stunned. Of course. Even if it was Yakov, Zeke would not press charges against him. He might even cover up for him.

After a moment's consideration, she had her answer.

Xavier's killer couldn't be Yakov. Even if it was, Zeke would clear his name.

And if it couldn't be Yakov, there was only one other person.

Alec Faust!

"Mom, do you think this could be Alec's doing?" Blake asked.

Mrs. Watkins was stunned, but then she shook her head. "He probably doesn't have the ability. Besides, the day it happened, Alec nearly died."

"Nearly died?" Blake was shocked. After being forbidden from getting involved with the family business, she lost her means of gathering intel. She had no idea about it at all.

Mrs. Watkins didn't hide anything from her since it wasn't considered big news. "On the day Luke invited him to the opening of a turf club, he lost his footing and fell down a cliff. He nearly died. Your father thinks it's not because he lost his footing but because Xavier and Luke wanted to get rid of Alec."

Blake smiled coldly. It required no speculation. That was definitely what happened.

"Your father even mentioned that the people on the racetrack heard the gunshots. Many people are guessing that Xavier had arranged for Alec to be killed. But no one expected him to be so incredibly lucky. He could survive even that." The more she spoke, the more Mrs. Watkins felt afraid. "Your father even told me it was a good thing that you and Alec broke up. By the looks of it, Zeke will never let Alec get hold of Faust Group, even if his talents truly surpass everyone. He would never let Alec inherit Faust Group as long as he's still alive."

As the head of the Watkins, Mr. Watkins knew very well that when guns were involved, it wasn't just the underlings carrying out orders. Zeke was still the head of Fausts. Without his permission, Xavier would never bring out the guns.
