    Chapter 882 What Lead


    Jenny didn’t see the couple fight. She was staring at Alec. “How is the food? It isn’t too bad, is it?” “It’s


    pretty good. It’s no wonder youe here often,’ he said.


    Jenny pouted, still feeling a little embarrassed. ‘I’m sorry. I’m not refusing you on purpose. I just haven’t


    thought it through yet.”


    “I know.” Alec smiled. He understood her inner struggles. If it were him, he’d be struggling to make a


    decision, too. He wouldn’t know if he were a reliable shoulder to cry on.


    Jenny opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But the more she looked at Alec, the harder it was


    to speak.


    “You don’t have to overthink it. Go with the flow. I’d still be a pretty confident person.” Alec smiled. He


    believed that Jenny liked him, so he didn’t worry too much.

    Jenny nodded, saying nothing as she continued to eat.


    In the Watkins’ residence, ke watched as the news on the Fausts was deleted one by one. She


    couldn’t help guessing what the family was like now.


    Who had killed Xavier?


    She knew she couldn’t just sit there waiting to die. So, she got up from her room and walked to the one


    next to it.


    “Mom.” She pushed the door open.


    Her mother beckoned for her to sit next to her. ’You haven’t been going outtely. Areyou still angry


    because your father and grandfather refused to let you get involved in the family business?”


    “No.* ke shook her head. She was angry still, but she couldn’t admit it.


    “I know you feel upset, but the family can only have one heir. You know this. ” And it was to be ke’s


    brother, not her.


    ke pouted, saying nothing. She changed the topic. “Mom, that’s thest thing on my mind. I was just


    here to ask you about the Fausts. You know, Alec and I…”


    She didn’t finish her sentence. Her mother would understand what she meant.


    Her worry, however, didn’t arise from her concern for Alec. Instead, she wanted to see if there was any


    way that she could add fuel to the fire. After all, Alec had betrayed her, and she hadn’t yet exacted her


    revenge.


    That was right. In her eyes, what Alec had done was a betrayal. They had agreed to cooperate and


    benefit each other. But then, he bit her off. He had betrayed her trust.


    Seeing that ke wasn’t angry, Mrs. Watkins felt at ease. “It’splicated. Xavier has suddenly been


    murdered, and Zeke has been investigating the murder these past few days. Apparently, they have a


    lead.’


    “What lead?” ke asked.


    “They’ve caught a few people.” Mrs. Watkins didn’t know much. These were all what her husband had


    told her.


    ke frowned. That didn’t seem right. “Those people were justckeys. The real criminal is the


    mastermind behind it.”


    “That’s right. But how can they be found so easily? If they dared tomit such a thing, they were


    confident they would never be found,” Mrs. Watkins said.


    ke considered it for a moment and asked, “Doesn’t Zeke have suspects? Yakov and Alec stand to


    benefit the most from all of this.


    Doesn’t he suspect them?”


    “He probably does. However, they don’t have any evidence. Plus, his son was killed. He probably


    wouldn’t want his other son to pay with his life.” Mrs. Watkins thought that even if it was found to be


    Yakov, they wouldn’t demand that justice be served.
