To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 726

Randy, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up, "Dad, I don't think the other families will just sit back and let them destroy us. Their system would fall into turmoil too."

Rowena nodded. "Randy is right. We need to find allies in the other families too. I'm sure we'll find a way out of this."

"I hear you." Wayne nodded contemplatively, though he still felt uncertain. Why would the Walters go through all that trouble if things were that easy?

Still, there was no better option now. All they could do was take things one step at a time. If worse came to worst, he could ask the other Elite families' help to defeat the Walters. He could even air out all the spoils for their taking. There must be one family who'd step in to help with that condition in mind.

While the Glasses were in the midst of discussing their battle plans, the Walters and Windsors were no longer hiding their motives. Their plans were quickly put into place, even slowing down the Glasses' progress.

After work, Jenny went to the location of the challenge sent to her. She still couldn't guess who it was that sent it to her. The location was a grassy field out in the Bardoff countryside, away from the hubbub of the city. Jenny stood waiting for a while before footsteps sounded from behind her.

It was a woman she hadn't seen before.

"Jenny Walter?" she asked before Jenny could speak.

Jenny nodded. "And you?"

"I practiced under Madam Olanna alongside Jonathan Flynn. This is his kid sister, who tasked me to serve this trial to you," Melissa explained. She wasn't close with Jonathan, but they were still disciples under the same master, so she couldn't exactly reject his sister's request for her help without looking bad. That was why she had sent the trial by combat challenge in the first place.

But after hearing who Jenny trained under, she finally understood why Jonathan lost.

Jenny meanwhile remembered Alicia Flynn. When she had Zack investigate why Jonathan was on her tail back then, they stumbled across information on his kid sister, Alicia, how she was hospitalized and needed money for her treatment. That was the reason Jonathan accepted Yvonne's task—she would pay for his sister's treatment. In the end, Jenny wired the money to the hospital so Alicia could get treated.

Basically, she went and saved someone who was set on destroying her.

Jenny really didn't know what to feel about the situation. She gazed at Alicia, whose eyes were burning with killing intent. "So you want to kill me?"
