To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 913

"Grandpa, did the Watkins really kill Dad?" Luke was doubtful about the theory. Even though the Fausts didn't interact much with the Watkins, the two families had no major conflict with each other either. Logically, the Watkins wouldn't have committed the heinous act.

However, he poured over the information that Alec provided him with and ran his investigation. It was confirmed that the Watkins had been in contact with the two assassins, who likely died at the Watkins' hands as well. Despite the solid evidence, he still felt that something was off.

Zeke lifted his gaze but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "What do you think?"

"All evidence pointed to the Watkins, but I still think it's strange." However, Luke couldn't quite pinpoint the reason for his doubt.

Zeke chuckled softly and looked away as he said coldly, "Of course, it's strange because the Watkins family isn't behind the murder."

"They didn't do it? But the evidence…"

"The evidence merely proved that the Watkins had been in contact with the two assassins. But who could be sure that they were the masterminds?" Zeke explained.

Luke furrowed his brows, looking confused. "If the Watkins weren't behind the murder, why did they get into contact with the assassins? They even asked the assassins to frame Alec, so they were obviously guilty."

"My guess is that the Watkins took the risk and contacted the assassins because they wanted to take advantage of the situation and frame Alec." Zeke, experienced with the workings of the real world, harbored a guess too. Indeed, he had accurately explained the plan the Watkins had in mind.

Despite his past conflicts with Xavier, he was still a father who could not bear to see his son dying in Alec's hands. It was impossible to let it slip.

"Grandpa, do you want me to hire someone to get rid of Alec?" Luke suggested.

Zeke shook his head and advised his grandson, "You stay out of this. I'll deal with him on my own."

"Grandpa, this case is not worth getting your hands dirty." Luke was unhappy because he was confident that he could take down Alec. However, Zeke gave him a look, and he promptly shut up. He knew that, in his grandfather's eyes, he was no match for Alec. He wanted to argue with Zeke, but he kept his mouth shut when he recalled his failed plan from the last time.
