Chapter 403


    Chapter 403 Business Opportunity


    Alec was taken aback at how fast Natalia called it off. He wasn’t upset, though-he wasn’t interested in


    Natalia anyway. “I see. Alright.”


    Looked like Natalia didn’t hit his marks either. No wonder he was so indifferent. She huffed and got up


    to leave before her anger started peaking. “Goodbye.”


    “Why don’t you have lunch first, Miss Cruz? We’re already here. I want to discuss a business


    opportunity with you.”


    “Oh? Sure.” Natalia sat back, now curious as to what Alec had in mind.


    The two had their lunch, oblivious to Jenny’s terrible mood.


    After dropping Morgan off, the car was filled with tense silence.


    “Don’t you wanna know who the woman is? Alec’s female friend?”


    Who was she?


    All Jenny knew was that she wasn’t from Parrington; otherwise, she’d have seen her profile during her


    investigation.


    “She’s Natalia Cruz from Bardoff City’s Cruz family.” Christopher had seen her a couple times during


    public events but never spoken to her. She was a proud woman, that one.


    Cruz family from Bardoff…


    “You noticed, too, right? Alec’s heading straight for the winning prize after dumping you.” Christopher


    snorted. “The Cruz family is just about the same level as mine, but they’re still pretty influential here in


    Parrington.”


    Jenny had a feeling Alec wouldn’t do that. It was very likely that he wanted to work with her on


    business terms only.


    “The Fausts don’t have any connections to the Cruzes, both socially and in the business world,”


    Christopher added, bursting her bubble.


    It was met with a re. “And why are you telling me all this? Why would I care who Alec is with now


    that we’ve broken up?”


    Just then, Christopher’s car came to a stop outside Perry Residence. She stepped out and left,


    mming the door behind her. That man was truly infuriating.


    Christopher smiled, murmuring to himself, “You’re more interesting than I thought, Jenny.”


    He had adamantly refused when his grandfather told him to pursue her, but as time passed, he slowly


    realized how much more attractive she was. Maybe having her as his wife wasn’t such a bad idea.


    Good thing Jenny didn’t know this. She’d give him a tongueshing for sure.


    Christopher took out his phone. “Look into what the Cruzes are up to, dipping their toes in Parrington.”

    At the Old Mansion, Mortimer eagerly asked Alec, “What’d you think of the Cruz girl? Not bad, right?”


    Alec hummed in response.


    Mortimer grinned, now hopeful. “Then you should continue keeping in touch with her. She’s much


    better than that Walter girl.”


    Hearing this, Alec’s hackles rose. He hid his fierce expression from Mortimer, making sure he didn’t see


    the dangerous glint in his eyes.
