Chapter 801 Don’t Get Too Ahead of Yourself
Zeke’s eyes swept across the room as he nodded. “You’re right. There’s nothing
shameful as long as it’s good for the family. Also, what’s wrong with two single people
getting married?’ He gave Julian a pointed glare, clearly expressing his displeasure
with his remarks. Julian wanted to retort, but Isabelle restrained him. Zeke had made
his thoughts clear. He didn’t care about Luke’s intentions as long as they benefitted
the Fausts.
Frustrated, Julian turned to Alec, asking with his eyes, “They’re talking about your exwife. Why are you so calm?’
Alec didn’t react. He silently ate his food, considering himself uninvolved in the
discussion.
Zeke didn’t look at him but said to Luke, “If you’re interested in her, go after her.
However, don’t use any underhanded methods because I won’t clean up after you.’ He
knew Luke’s character, so he had to remind him not to cause any trouble. Although
the Walters were not on the same level as the Fausts, if there was a falling out
between the families, the Fausts wouldn’t benefit from it.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa, I know what to do.” Luke smiled, feeling confident now that
Zeke had given him the green light.
Zeke didn’t dwell on the topic. Instead, he turned to Alec and said, “You’ve been doing
well lately. That company you’re in charge of has grown rapidly, and the people under
you are all praising you.’
“You’re joking. Those people are just trying to butter me up because I’m associated
with the Fausts,” Alec replied with a small smile, not seriously taking Zeke’s
compliment.
“You’ve proven yourself. Why don’t you start working at the headquarters tomorrow?
We’ll put you in the business development department first. Is that alright?” Zeke
asked.
Although Alec was stunned, he understood what was going on. “Of course, sure. I’ll
follow your arrangements.”
Zeke nodded and reminded Alec to report to the headquarters the next day. Without
another word, he got up and went upstairs to his study room.
After he left, Alec immediately felt several murderous glares landing on him.
“Alec, you have some skill,” Xavier said. He didn’t take Alec seriously at first because
he believed that Zeke wouldn’t hand the Faust family over to an outsider. However,
Alec managed to obtain a position at the headquarters, whereas Xavier had to work at
a smaller company for several years before being able to work there. If word about it
got out, everyone would think Zeke had decided to hand the Faust family over to Alec,
which would not be good news for Xavier.
Upon hearing Xavier’s words, Alec simply smiled and said, “It’s mainly because Mr.
Faust values me and gives me opportunities. Otherwise, how would I manage to do
this?”
Alec never treated Xavier and Yakov with the same reverence he reserved for Zeke
because he was not afraid of them as he knew the power to make decisions within the
Fausts did not lie with them. He even hoped that they would take action against him
soon so that he could seize the opportunity to deal with them. Otherwise, who knows
how long it would take for him to take control of the Faust family.
“Don’t get too ahead of yourself. After all, you’re just an outsider. Do you think my
father will hand over the family to you?” Xavier sneered, believing that Zeke would not
make such a mistake.
Alec put down his utensils and chuckled. “Who knows?”
