Chapter 1305 They Won't do anything to Me
Upon learning that Jenny would have dinner with Alfred and Mortimer in the evening, Alec insisted on going with them. He was worried about Jenny meeting them alone.
In the car, Alec was driving while Jenny leaned against the car window. In annoyance, she said, “You don’t have to worry so much. They won’t do anything to me.”
“Who knows?” Alec didn’t want to take any risks. “I’ll accompany you. If they have any ill intentions, they won’t dare to act on it.”
“Alright, alright, whatever you say.” Jenny didn’t want to argue with Alec. After all, she would be discussing the matters entrusted to her by Old Mr. Faust. Hence, there probably wouldn’t be any conflicts or arguments.
The car soon arrived at the restaurant. Alfred and Mortimer hadn’t arrived yet, so Jenny chose a seat and waited for them.
It didn’t take long before the two of them arrived. They were visibly surprised to see Alec there as well. But when they thought about it, it was expected as Jenny and Alec were about to get married. Hence, Alec would be worried if Jenny met them alone.
Mortimer felt a little bitter knowing that Alec still had his guard up against him, afraid that he would plot against Jenny again.
“Please take a seat,” Jenny said, waving them over when she spotted them. Alfred and Mortimer walked over to her table and sat down.
Alfred didn’t bother to greet Alec. Since their relationship was destined not to improve, he found no reason to exchange perfunctory greetings. He took out the documents he had brought and handed
them to Jenny. “These are the recent projects of the company. Take a look.”
Jenny didn’t refuse. Since Alfred was willing to report to her, she had no reason to reject. It was just a matter of spending a few minutes to see how the projects were going. However, she couldn’t understand the details of the project. After a brief look, she returned the documents to Alfred.” Everything looks fine. It’s up to you to decide.”
“Okay,” Alfred put away the documents, aware that Jenny didn’t understand them. But that didn’t matter, as he just wanted her to be aware of the projects.
After discussing about Jeneration Group, Alfred looked at Jenny and asked, “So, what else do you want to talk about?”
Jenny didn’t plan to beat around the bush either. She looked at Mortimer and said, “Alec and I just returned from Parrington a few days ago.
Grandpa hopes that you can go back and accompany him.”
Mortimer was stunned when he heard that.
“His health is not good now, and as his only son, you should be by his side,” Jenny added. She didn’t mention how he was inconveniencing Alfred by staying with him as she was afraid it would make Mortimer unhappy.
When Mortimer fell silent, Alfred said, “It’s up to you. If you want to go back, go back. If you don’t want to, it’s fine to stay in Bardoff City.”
Before he realized it, Mortimer’s gaze turned to Alec, clearly wanting to hear his opinion. Unfortunately, Alec completely ignored him and didn’t say a word. After a moment, Mortimer finally made a decision.
“I will go back to Parrington.”
Even though Alfred was taking care of him, it was not his hometown. It would be better for him to return to Parrington and stay with Old Mr. Faust. He already had too many regrets and didn’t want to miss spending time with his father in his final moments.
With that, Mortimer was about to leave. He couldn’t stand how Alec ignored him.
“Since we’re already here, let’s have dinner before leaving. There’s no rush,” Jenny said, leaving Mortimer no chance to refuse.
They all had dinner together. While The atmosphere at the table wasn’t particularly pleasant, it didn’t escalate into an argument.
