Alec, meanwhile, had gone to meet Zeke to talk to him about the breakup with Blake.
"I didn't feel like we were compatible after some time together.That's why I chose to do it," Alec explained.
Though it was just a way to placate them, and they both knew the real reason why, Zeke still didn't point it out.
"I see.Might as well save everyone some time, hm."
"Yes.Thank you for understanding."
Alec gave him a bow out of respect.
The two conversed briefly for several more minutes, with Alec reporting how the company was doing and getting the old man's approval before he finally left. novelebook Zeke immediately dropped his polite mask afterward.
"Why do you think he broke up with Blake Watkins?" he asked his butler, who had appeared behind him.
The butler gave it some thought, then said, "Probably because he doesn't think he needs the Watkins" help to become family head."
No one had any idea where he got that confidence from.
"I doubt it.Do you really think the Watkins would call off their deal with Alec just because they broke up with one of their many children?"
The butler nodded in understanding, saying nothing in return.
After a moment, Zeke said, "For some reason, I'm starting to wonder if I made the right choice."
His butler was surprised to hear that.
"Do you find Alec hard to control?"
"Yes.He's not easily manipulated."
Had he placed his family at risk by letting Alec return? "Are you sure you're not overthinking things, sir? So long as you never let him, Alec would never be able to succeed as family heir even if he did accomplish great feats."
It's not like the kid could force Mr.Faust, right? Zeke nodded in agreement, still asking, No word from Xavier and Yakov yet?"
"I believe they're working together, sir.They should be launching their plans soon.Can't really let Alec become head of the family, can they?" the butler replied.
"Let's give them a boost then.Better to eradicate the outsider soon."
Now that Zeke had accomplished his plan, there was no reason to keep Alec around anymore.
Things would only spiral out of his control if he did.
The butler nodded.
"Very well, sir."
