Chapter 854 You Stalker
Unexpectedly, Alec shook his head, his expression solemn. “If Xavier is dead, Luke won’t be able to cause much trouble. And if two people from the Faust family die at once, you won’t be able to withstand Zeke’s wrath.”
The head of the Faust family wasn’t to be trifled with. It wouldn’t matter if Evan’s men were brought in from abroad; if Zeke got serious, not a single one of them would be spared, and Evan himself might even end up in trouble too.
“That’s true.” Evan understood the reasoning as well. He just wanted to see if Alec was intentionally trying to get him killed. However, the result surprised him.
“Don’t worry. We’re working with each other now. I won’t knowingly send you to your death.’ Alec glanced at him, once again able to tell what he was thinking.
Evan sneered coldly and said, “I find it more desirable to work with Xavier to kill you rather than help you kill him.” Alec was even more detestable than Luke, and the threat he posed was even greater.
“Is that so? Are you really going to do that?” Alec remained calm, smiling as he looked at Evan, showing no signs of panic.
Evan felt a little uneasy seeing the way he behaved. He couldn’t help but think Alec was hiding something and hadn’t revealed all his cards yet.
His gaze fell on the restaurant entrance. Noticing Jenny and Luke were coming out,
Evan immediately wound up his car window and said, “Send me the details.” He then started the car engine and left swiftly.
By the time Alec realized what was going on, Jenny and Luke had already reached the entrance of the restaurant and naturally spotted him standing there.
They both frowned, especially Luke, who was extremely peeved at seeing him.
’What’re you doing here, Alec.”
“Just passing by,” Alec responded.
“Passing by? Don’t tell me you’re stalking Jenny,” Luke sneered, finding it hard to believe such a coincidence.
Sure enough, the moment he suggested that, Jenny was visibly displeased. She’d been suspecting Alec was stalking her, and the constant feeling of being watched made her feel very uncomfortable. She felt she was deprived of the freedom to do anything without falling under his gaze.
However, she held back her anger in Luke’s presence. Instead, she told him, “Mr. Luke, you should head back. I hope we can work well with each other in the future.”
“I’ll drive you back.” Luke didn’t want Jenny and Alec to be alone together. He’d finally made some progress with Jenny and didn’t want Alec to interfere.
Unfortunately for Luke, Jenny had no interest in him at all. If it hadn’t been for the sake of their future collaboration, she wouldn’t have agreed to have a meal with him in the first place. “There’s no need. I want to stroll around some more,” Jenny said.
Luke nodded and left, knowing that Jenny was just placating him, but he didn’t want to offend her either. After all, he’d barely made any progress, so it didn’t make sense to piss her off right away.
As he walked past Alec, he whispered, “Jenny is mine!’
After saying that, he left, not caring about Alec’s reaction. He was determined to win Jenny over.
Alec couldn’t help but smile when he heard his words, showing no signs of anger at all. He was pretty darn sure Jenny wouldn’t like him anyway.
When he came back to his senses, Jenny was standing right in front of him. “Have you been stalking me?”
“No.” Alec shook his head. Fearing she wouldn’t believe him, he quickly explained, “I was keeping an eye on Luke. I heard that he was having dinner with you, and I was worried, so I came to check.’
“Really?” Jenny was skeptical but also thought it was reasonable for Alec to have someone watching Luke, considering the chaos within the Fausts.
Alec nodded. “Yes, I know you don’t like being followed. I wouldn’t deliberately provoke you.”
