To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 73


    Chapter 73 This Is on You


    “Faye took a flight abroad an hour ago,” he confessed defeatedly, watching as Jenny became angrier


    by the second. He didn’t want their rtionship to worsen, but he had to protect Faye.


    Fuming, she attacked him out of the blue. “Alec Faust, you’re asking for it!”


    His


    eyes flickered, and he dodged her attack swiftly. “Calm down…”


    Sheunched her second attack while he was pleading. This time, she went all out.


    “Calm down? How can I calm down?” she thought. The two fought in the cramped living room space,


    but Alec was mostly on the defensive instead of attacking her.


    Ten minutester, Jenny was visibly exhausted, while Alec remained calm andposed. Even his


    hair was in perfect shape. The next minute, she came to a stop andzilybed through her hair.


    “Your skills are better than I expected.”


    From a young age, she had trained to quickly and aggressively defeat opponents under an expert, and


    she had been nearly invincible since. Alec’s excellentbat skills came as a surprise.


    “You’re not too bad as well.” He smiled and let out a small sigh of relief after noticing that she didn’t


    make any move. He got her some water. “Have a drink. Quench your thirst.”


    She red at him before epting the ss of water. “I’m telling you-this isn’t the end of it.”


    “I know.” He nodded and added, “How did you get caught by the three men if you are this skilled?”


    Silence ensued. It was a mystery she had not had the time to look into.


    “Someone spiked your drink when you went to the restroom during lunch with Stephanie,” he finally


    revealed.

    She raised a brow but was not too surprised because she did have her assumptions. “Miss Lawrence


    was well-prepared, it seemed. She even got me drugged before the abduction.” She chuckled after


    realizing that Faye was more meticulous than she had thought.


    Alec shook his head and said, “It wasn’t Faye.”


    Her eyes darkened. “It wasn’t her?”


    “It’s Dickman-Steven Dickman, the guy who tried to pick you up at an eventst time,” Alec exined,


    hoping that he could divert Jenny’s hatred away from Faye and himself.


    She looked taken aback at first but realized it was usible after all. In theirst encounter, she had a


    hunch that Steven Dickman was a sketchy character, but his boldness was beyond her imagination.


    She thought, “How dare he drug me.”


    Jenny wondered if the coincidence was good or bad luck for Faye. Had Jenny been taken by Steven’s


    men, Faye wouldn’t have been implicated. However, it was all thanks to Steven’s men who drugged


    Jenny that Faye’s hires could get their hands on her without much fuss.


    “I can take down the Dickmans for you,” Alec offered in time. He added, “The Dickmans are more


    difficult than the Lawrences.”


    She nced at him and smirked. “No thanks. You shouldn’t expect me to forgive Faye by telling me


    about Steven Dickman. Dream on!” Alec’s motive was apparent to her, and she would never let him get


    his way.


    Alec shed her a bitter smile, feeling defeated. Indeed, Faye did something wrong, and he was Faye’s


    guardian. Jenny’s dislike of him was understandable.


    He had wanted to say something, but she was one step ahead of him. “Faye has slipped away, and this


    is on you.”


    “Dr. Walter…”


    “You’d better pray that none of your dark secrets fall into my hands. Otherwise, I’d take care of you


    along. with Faye,” she warned coldly.
