Chapter 877


    Chapter 877 As Expected of Mr. Faust


    Jenny gave him a thumbs-up after he was done. ‘As expected of Mr. Faust.” “Don’t tease me, Jenny.’


    Alec felt embarrassed. He was afraid that she would have a bad impression of him. He wasn’t just a


    mindless killer.


    If he did not make a move on the Fausts, Xavier would never let go of his hold on his position. Alec was


    forced to do it.


    Jenny smiled lightly. “I’m not teasing you. I’m honestly admiring you. You’re a natural businessman.


    The Fausts will be yours, and you will bring them to the new light.”


    Although the Fausts looked to be in their prime, Jenny could feel that the family wasn’t as amazing as


    they looked. They were only tough on the outside. Otherwise, Zeke would not have done this to select


    his heir. He would not be so worried if they were truly capable.


    Alec didn’t care about it right now. What he cared about was something else. He looked at Jenny and


    asked, “Can you forgive me now? I didn’t tell you because I didn’t know if it was in my right to do so.


    What if I told you about it, and you told me it was none of your business? What would I do, then?”


    That was something she could picture herself saying.


    A trace of embarrassment shed through her eyes, but it disappeared quickly. “It’s the same now. You


    needn’t ask for my forgiveness because it has nothing to do with me.”


    Alec was silent. Then, emotionally, he said, “When are you going to stop torturing me, Jenny?”


    “Do you really want to be with me, Alec?” Jenny suddenly asked.


    He nodded at once, his gaze sincere. “Yes!”


    “When are you going to learn to prioritize your safety? I don’t want to have a boyfriend who might lose


    his life any time.” What if they married, and she became a widow?


    Jenny got up and left the ward. Alec rested against his pillow, saying nothing.


    Jenny’s worries were justified. He was always putting himself at risk. He wasn’t just unlucky; he actively


    put himself in danger. This would not provide security for any woman.


    He sighed, murmuring, “I have to be the head of the Fausts as quickly as possible.”


    Once he was the head of the family, he would not be in such danger. He would be able to provide


    security to Jenny.


    He was still lost in his thoughts when the door was opened once again. But this time, it was Evan who


    walked in.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    He looked exhausted. He looked at Alec angrily. “I think you should have told Jenny everything from


    the start.”


    “What’s up? Are the Fausts pressing close?” Alec asked.


    Evan had personally participated in Xavier’s murder. Alec knew that. Evan was also the one who


    nned the escape route. As long as they escaped before the Fausts could react, there wouldn’t be an


    issue.


    But judging by his response right now, it probably hadn’t worked.


    Evan sat on the chair, his spirits low. “I underestimated them. They were fast. Before my men could


    clear the area, the Fausts had already cordoned off every exit. They can’t leave through the proper


    channels now.”


    Although they were masked and gloved when they broke in and did not leave any traces, Evan did not


    want to risk his men getting caught. They followed him into the country. He wanted to see them leave in


    peace.
