    Chapter 866 Victory Could Be Hers


    “Can I stay?” Jolene looked at him anxiously.


    James refused. ‘You chose to leave, so you should fuck off as far away as possible and never appear


    in my sight.”


    “I…” Jolene stammered, at a loss for words.

    If she could have figured out why he refused to let her go earlier, she wouldn’t have insisted on leaving.


    What a pity it was that she had not analyzed anything before. She merely thought that her days, if


    spent there, would be dull and dreary.


    Jolene bit her lip, deciding to try her luck. “Well, in that case, I’m going to leave now.”


    She tugged on her suitcase, preparing to leave.


    Seeing that she was actually going to leave him, James was stunned. He thought Jolene would beg


    him for another chance. He wasn’t expecting her to leave just like that.


    Was this what she meant by liking him? It was very half-assed.


    Jolene walked with her suitcase in tow, murmuring to herself. If James were near, he would have heard


    her counting to a hundred. She wanted to see how far along she’d get before James told her to stay.


    “Seventy-seven, seventy-eight…”


    “Stop right there!”


    James’ voice sounded from behind. Jolene smirked. So, Rowena was right. She turned, pretending to


    be bewildered. “Is there something else?”


    “Are you leaving just like that?” James asked.


    “Of course. You’re not letting me stay. What else can I do?” she said.


    James was incredibly frustrated. He felt that he was being manipted, but he thought it was


    impossible. How could she manipte him? He was clearly the one making all the decisions.


    In the silence, Jolene’s heart thumped hard. However, her anxiety dissipated when she heard James


    say, “Get the fuck in the house!”


    Jolene smiled. She said nothing, going into the vi with James.


    She was back in this familiar ce. But this time, she had apletely different outlook on things.


    Perhaps this time, victory would be hers.


    In the following days, Jenny didn’t meet with Alec even though he called every day. He would not stop


    calling even if she refused to pick up, as if to test the waters.


    Jenny didn’t know what to say. She hadn’t yet given the matter any careful consideration, which was


    why she neither picked up nor met him.


    Alec looked at his phone in Faust Group. The familiar robotic voice was ying.


    Jenny had not picked up once more. He sighed, a little exasperated.


    “Mr. Faust, Luke has said that his new turf club will beunching soon. He has invited you to the


    launch.* Vincent walked in. He was transferred over to thepany and was Alec’s assistant once


    more.


    Something in Alec’s eyes shed. “Have they finallye?’


    He had waited for days. He thought that the people from that family would have moved ages ago. They


    were unexpectedly patient, waiting until now to strike.


    “Mr. Faust, they don’t bear good intentions. I’m afraid of the danger.” Vincent frowned. Ever since Alec


    hade to Faust Group, this was the first time Luke invited him to a gathering. It was unusual, no


    matter how one looked at it.


    Alec was not surprised. He smiled, saying, “It will always be dangerous. The question is for whom.’


    The Fausts had their n to attack him. Likewise, Alec had a n to defeat them.


    “Tell Evan to begin the n. Tell him to consider the consequences if he fails,” Alec said.
