To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 What a Load of Crap

The branch office of the Faust Group was relatively unknown in Bardoff City, as it was less influential relative to the many big names. However, as most people paid attention to the developments of the Glass family, they noticed that the family had been making moves against the Faust Group, which piqued their curiosity.

The outsiders mistook the actions for the Glass family's ambition to acquire Faust Group, but only Jenny knew that Rowena and Jolene were behind the recent moves. Worried that Alec would struggle to fend off the attacks, Jenny wanted to call him out of concern but held back in the end. Based on her understanding of him, he would definitely turn down her offer to help when his ego acted up, just like the average man.

With that in mind, she decided to ask James for help later. Well, she wasn't exactly asking him to actively intervene.no.velxo It'd be great if he could at least hold off the Glass family. Moreover, a stronger Glass family would be bad news for the Walter family.

Deep in thought, she didn't notice that the cab had veered off the route to the restaurant.

"We're here."

She snapped back to reality when she heard the husky voice of the driver. She looked out of the window and saw a stretch of wilderness. That was when she realized that something was wrong.

"What a load of crap," he snickered, to her dismay. She wasn't a talkative person either, but she had to buy herself time somehow or risk losing her life. Her decision not to fight him was proven wise-after fending off his attacks, she realized she was no match for him.

"Rowena and her people have gotten smart. Now that they know I am skilled in martial arts, they would spend a fortune hiring the best to take me on. They're no longer as dumb as they were," she mused. Despite not knowing who she had called, she hoped the person who picked up would understand that she was in trouble and bring help. Otherwise, she might meet her end that day.

While they were busy sparring, James received a call from Jenny. He thought she had something to say, but he heard nothing from the other end, which was puzzling. As Jenny did not switch on the speaker mode, he could only pick up some rustling noises without knowing what was happening. Nevertheless, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
