Chapter 150 What Was the Use of Pretending?
When he got to the condominium, Jenny was already at the gates. She looked like she was about to leave. That was why he asked.
“I wanted to see Zack and Gilbert. I don’t want my gates to be surrounded by people every day.” The previous incident made her realize that this matter had to be settled quickly.
“I’ll go with you,” Alec said.
Jenny frowned. She glanced at the wound on his arm. She parted her lips to refuse, but Alec said, “I’m fine. It’s nothing.”
She was speechless. Alright. Since he thought that one large patch of red skin meant nothing, she didn’t. have to pity him..
The car started toward Gilbert’s villa.
Right as they reached the entrance, they bumped into Zack and Gilbert, who were about to leave. Jenny was surprised. “Zack! Gilbert! Where are you guys going?”
“Jenny?” Gilbert was shocked. “Are you alright? We just heard that someone was attacking you and were about to go to your condo.”
“I’m fine.” Jenny shook her head and looked at Zack. “Zack, has the footage been recovered?”
Zack instantly lowered his head, not daring to meet Jenny’s eyes. He felt ashamed. “Not yet. It should be done soon.”
He hadn’t done a lot of footage recovery jobs before. He didn’t think that it would be so hard.
“I’ll do it.” Jenny didn’t blame him. She knew that Zack had already tried his best. This wasn’t his area of expertise.
They went into the villa together. It was then that Gilbert noticed Alec, and he frowned. “Mr. Faust?”
“Gilbert.” Alec nodded.
At his words, Gilbert’s heart ached. He retorted, “Who do you think she is? Do you think you can marry her just because you want to? It’s not just her. As part of her family, I wouldn’t let her get back together with
her ex.”
Alec’s expression shifted. He no longer looked at Gilbert as kindly. “Family? I’m afraid you don’t want to be just her family, Gilbert.”
Gilbert’s face twisted, and he shot up from his chair. “Alec Faust! What do you mean by that?”
“Don’t you know what I mean?” Alec smiled mockingly. They were both men. What was the use of pretending?
Gilbert clenched his fists and glared at him in hatred. “I’m warning you to cut the crap. You have no right to comment on things between Jenny and me.”
“Are you afraid that Jenny will find out you have feelings for her?” Alec’s words hit the nail on the head. Gilbert didn’t reply, merely keeping a sour expression on his face.
