To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 964

Jenny didn't quite agree with what he said. "Alec may be the mastermind behind the whole Xavier incident, but why did you agree? You know he's using you, yet you still agreed. Did you two reach some kind of a deal?"

Evan wasn't stupid; he wouldn't have made a deal that would only bring him losses.

At that moment, Evan was at a loss for words. Could he tell Jenny he didn't get anything from Alec in return? Alec had threatened to expose his identity to Jenny. He wouldn't have agreed to it if he hadn't been anxious about how Jenny would see him once she found out what he'd been up to.

Who would have thought that Jenny would find out what he'd tried so hard to keep hidden so soon despite his efforts to cover it up?

If he knew it would turn out like that, he should have just told Jenny the truth from the beginning. Then, he wouldn't have ended up being used by Alec.

"I'm grateful that you saved me. But at that time, I think Alec had no choice. After all, he didn't have as many men as you did. Knowing that you had the manpower, it was reasonable for him to approach you for help."

Jenny didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If she were Alec, she would do the same.

"Aren't you aware you've been speaking up for him every single time?" Evan chuckled, but his smile looked somewhat strained.

If he couldn't see how biased Jenny was toward Alec, then he really was a fool.

Jenny came to her senses and didn't deny it. "I believe he wouldn't use me."

Evan looked downward and lowered his head, not letting Jenny see the killing intent that flashed across his eyes.

"Okay. Since you trust him, what else can I say?" He forced a smile, aware that he'd reached a dead end.

After a brief silence, the two finished their meal and walked to the restaurant's entrance together.

Realizing they were about to part on bad terms, Evan refused to let things end that way between him and Jenny. "Let's still be friends, Jenny."
