To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 924

Not seeing the need to worry further now that Vincent knew his boss had a plan in mind, he changed the topic. "Well, sir. This is the info on the shares you wanted me to look up. Unfortunately, most of them are reluctant to sell."

Faust Group was still churning out dividends annually, so the shareholders wouldn't sell their rights off that easily, even if Alec were to offer a great price.

"As expected." He didn't mind. Those shareholders would be scrambling to sell their shares once something happened to Faust Group later. "What about those projects?"

Faust Group was a large company handled by an equally large family. Alec doubted all their projects were acquired by clean hands. All he needed to do was do some digging for dirt to come up.

Vincent nodded and handed Alec another sheaf of documents. "Many issues turned up for two projects in particular. I've listed them out for you here, sir."

"Thank you. You can leave it here."

"Do you plan to use these to take down the other Fausts, sir? Wasn't your plan to take over as heir instead?" Would there be a need to inherit the family if his boss planned to defeat them now?

Alec huffed a quiet laugh, eyeing his assistant. "Do you think I'd be that careless?"

Vincent blinked in surprise, then shook his head. "No, sir. Apologies, I shouldn't have assumed."

He should've trusted Alec's judgment from the start. After all, it's not like he hadn't borne witness to how intelligent the man was when it came to these decisions.

"Go on then." Alec waved him off. He knew Vincent only worried because of how big a threat the Fausts were.

But to Alec, they were nothing more than empty shells, long rotten within. Best to burn out all the maggots inside before taking over as head of the family.

Based on her observation, it wasn't Evan's first time doing it. He likely cooked and cleaned by himself too. To Jenny, it was a sure sign of a man who'd never let his wife and children get the brunt of life.

"Why don't you consider being with a man like me, hm?" Evan teased all of a sudden.

Jenny's face instantly fell. "Evan—"

"Alright, I'm done with the dishes. I'll visit you another time. You won't shut me out then, right?" Evan cut her off, not wanting to hear what might come out of her mouth next.

Jenny swallowed what she'd wanted to say. "Of course not. We're family."

Upon hearing that, an upset expression flared across Evan's face before it quickly disappeared.
