    Chapter 717 I’m Obviously Going Against You


    ke sat next to Alec in the restaurant, observing his eloquence, gentlemanly mannerisms, and calm


    and collected temperament as he talked to their client.


    This was the man she had fallen in love with. This was who she wanted to be with for the rest of her


    life.


    Thus, she willingly stood by his side when he was at his weakest. She believed that Alec would one


    day take over the Fausts.


    Alec’s phone vibrated. He paused and looked at the screen.


    “Apologies. I need to take this.” He sounded apologetic as he got up with the phone in hand.


    ke watched him leave. Her cheery mood had turned sour. Walter…


    The caller ID had only one name on it, but ke could instantly guess it was Jenny.


    The rage in her heart sizzled. Alec was her man. She had bet the entire Watkins family on him, so she


    couldn’t bear to lose him to Jenny.


    “You two go so well together, Miss Watkins,” their client said. He intended to suck up to her. Compared


    to the insignificant Alec, he’d rather win the favor of Miss Watkins. ke smiled in embarrassment.


    Although she was angered by Jenny’s call, she didn’t show it on her face. “Thank you.”


    “When did you get together?” The client was curious. He was trying to gauge whether ke and Alec


    shared a rtionship. If they were, he would choose to work with Alec as well. But if they weren’t, he


    would reconsider it. After all, everyone knew Alec’s reappearance was topete with the Fausts for


    the position of the next heir. If one stood by Alec’s side, it would mean they were going against the rest


    of the Fausts.


    If Alec failed, the client would be dragged down as well.


    The question made ke’s eyes darken, but only for a second. “It’s been a while.”


    The client rxed. That was pretty much a confirmation of their rtionship.


    Alec’s chances of sess were strong with the Watkins by his side. Based on their conversation


    before, this man had excellent capabilities. At least, in this aspect, the other Fausts could notpare


    to him.


    As they spoke, Alec epted Jenny’s phone call.


    “What’s the matter?” He sounded cold and a little annoyed. But Jenny didn’t care about that. She said,


    “Where are you? I need to talk to you.”


    “I’m busy.” Alec remained cold. He was indeed busy. He had to return to the table to talk business.


    With hisplete refusal, a twinge of sadness appeared in Jenny’s heart. However, she insisted. “I


    really need to talk to you. It’s important.”


    “Miss Walter, we are strictly business partners. Why do you think I’d talk to you?” He spoke


    emotionlessly.


    Jenny was stunned. She gritted her teeth. ’If you don’t talk to me, I will terminate all of our


    partnerships.”‘


    “Jenny Walter!” Alec was enraged. “Do you know what you’re talking about?” “I do. I’m obviously going


    against you, the future heir of the Faust family. But I don’t care about that.” She had to see him. She


    already had her own reservations, so she had to see him now to confirm her beliefs.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
