To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 659

"You're not collaborating with the Fausts; you're cooperating with me." Alec felt there was a difference between the two. After all, the Fausts didn't belong to him yet.

Jenny raised her eyebrows in response, unsurprised by his reply. "Do you think you have what it takes to strike up a deal with the Walters?"

In her opinion, Alec wasn't qualified enough to bargain for a collaboration with the Walters.

"You can consider it a kind of investment. After I take over the Fausts, our families will naturally be able to collaborate better."

Upon hearing Jenny's words, Alec wasn't offended. He knew he wasn't qualified to work with the Walter family yet, but by the time he could be on equal footing with them, he might not necessarily want to associate with them either.

Jenny fell silent. Looking at Alec, who was right before her, she wondered where he got his confidence.

"Are you so certain that you'll be the one to take over the Fausts? Have you considered the possibility that no matter how well you do, the family head still won't hand it over to you?"

Jenny and Zeke Faust had only met once, but that one meeting was enough for her to ascertain that the old man was no ordinary person.

"That's my business—"

"This isn't just your business. I want to make sure my investment will generate a return. Nobody would voluntarily get into a failed investment," Jenny interrupted Alec.

He fell silent. After a while, he said, "With the support of the Walters and Watkins, I have a great chance of securing victory."

"The Walters and Watkins are external forces. We can't openly support you. I need to know the reason you're so confident." Deliberately showing support for Alec might put her family at odds with Zeke. Therefore, before she was sure Alec would take over the Fausts, the Walters wouldn't show support for him publicly.

Alec looked at her steadily and said calmly, "My confidence naturally stems from my abilities. If the Fausts want to wear me out, they'll have to see if they can hold me down."

Jenny glanced at Alec, finding his behavior strange—it was as if he'd never met her. She'd always been cautious, and Alec should be well aware of this trait of hers.

As they ate, Jenny couldn't help but ask, "The person who chased after you previously was from the Fausts, right? Did you know?"

Alec nodded. It was because he knew that he had decided to return to the Fausts of Bardoff City. Since someone was afraid of his return, he was all the more determined to go back.

"During the time you were missing, did anything happen to you?" Jenny still didn't know what exactly happened to Alec during his disappearance.

Alec raised his head to look at Jenny. While he could tell from Jenny's eyes that she was genuinely concerned about him, he ultimately did not reveal that he'd lost his memory. "Nothing happened. I happened to be saved by someone," he replied.

"That's good," Jenny responded. She then continued to eat without raising any more questions.
