To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 933

"I think you may have overestimated how important I am to him. He's not an idiot. You really think he'd cave just because you have me in hand?" It's not like Zeke would even guarantee her safety if Alec died.

That was how she was even more certain that Alec wouldn't give up so easily.

Yet Jenny wouldn't lie and say she wasn't worried.

Zeke disagreed, however. "On the contrary, I think you're quite important to him. He might even risk it all for you."

"Wishful thinking, sir." Jenny laughed gently, though she wasn't in the mood to laugh.

"We shall see then."

Jenny chewed on her cheek, guessing Alec was probably on his way over right this second. She just wasn't sure if he'd done enough preparations for the conflict.

No way would he come empty-handed, right?

In truth, Jenny pretty much guessed it right. Alec wasn't there to meet his death, but he wasn't going to risk Jenny's life either. Hence, he'd already prepared to save Jenny, even at the cost of his life.

Zeke closed his eyes slightly as if resting. So, Jenny turned to scan her surroundings, watching for any openings she could use later.

A commotion soon came at the door as if someone had come. Jenny looked at it, knowing it was most likely Alec outside.

Zeke opened his eyes, too, nodding at Jenny. "Let's go take a look, shall we?"

Yet it couldn't be more apparent now that it was just an act the old man put up. In truth, he was far crueler than anyone in the family.

"I don't understand what's happening, sir," Alec said as if he really was clueless.

Zeke ignored him, saying instead, "You know, if you hadn't hurt Xavier, I wouldn't have even considered going to this extent."

Sure, he had never imagined letting Alec take over, but neither had he longed for the boy's death. But when things got out of control, especially with his son's death at Alec's hand, he really couldn't just sit by and watch on anymore.

That was why Alec needed to pay with his life today.
