Chapter 924


    Chapter 924 I Shouldn''t Have Assumed


    Not seeing the need to worry further now that Vincent knew his boss had a n in mind, he changed


    the topic.


    "Well, sir.This is the info on the shares you wanted me to look up.Unfortunately, most of them are


    reluctant to sell."


    Faust Group was still churning out dividends annually, so the shareholders wouldn''t sell their rights off


    that easily, even if Alec were to offer a great price.


    "As expected." He didn''t mind.


    Those shareholders would be scrambling to sell their shares once something happened to Faust Group


    later.


    "What about those projects?"


    Faust Group was argepany handled by an equallyrge family.


    Alec doubted all their projects were acquired by clean hands.


    All he needed to do was do some digging for dirt toe up.


    Vincent nodded and handed Alec another sheaf of documents.


    "Many issues turned up for two projects in particr.I''ve listed them out for you here, sir."


    "Thank you.You can leave it here."


    "Do you n to use these to take down the other Fausts, sir? Wasn''t your n to take over as heir


    instead?"


    Would there be a need to inherit the family if his boss nned to defeat them now? Alec huffed a quiet


    laugh, eyeing his assistant.


    "Do you think I''d be that careless?" Vincent blinked in surprise, then shook his head.


    "No, sir. Apologies, I shouldn''t have assumed."


    He should''ve trusted Alec''s judgment from the start.

    After all, it''s not like he hadn''t borne witness to how intelligent the man was when it came to these


    decisions.


    "Go on then."


    Alec waved him off.He knew Vincent only worried because of how big a threat the Fausts were.


    But to Alec, they were nothing more than empty shells, long rotten within.


    Best to burn out all the maggots inside before taking over as head of the family.


    After Vincent left, Alec went back to work, but not before texting Jenny that he wouldn''t be back tonight.


    He asked her to eat dinner and get to bed early, but he never received a response after.


    Unbeknownst to him, Jenny hadn''t eaten the dinner he had sent due to therge portion of food Evan


    had already made for her.


    The man was currently washing the dishes in the sink while Jenny awkwardly scratched her nose.


    "Now I really don''t want to have you over anymore.What kind of guest cooks for their host and even


    washes the dishes after?"


    Evan didn''t mind.


    "No need to be so polite.We''re friends, no?"


    Jenny fidgeted at the side, wanting to help but finding no means to.


    "You''d make a good husband and father, Evan." Evan paused slightly.


    He smiled.


    "Really? That''s the first time someone''s said that to me."


    "Really."


    Jenny nodded surely.


    Based on her observation, it wasn''t Evan''s first time doing it.He likely cooked and cleaned by himself


    too.


    To Jenny, it was a sure sign of a man who''d never let his wife and children get the brunt of life.


    "Why don''t you consider being with a man like me, hm?" Evan teased all of a sudden.


    Jenny''s face instantly fell.


    "Evan—"


    "Alright, I''m done with the dishes.I''ll visit you another time.You won''t shut me out then, right?"


    Evan cut her off, not wanting to hear what mighte out of her mouth next.


    Jenny swallowed what she''d wanted to say.


    "Of course not.We''re family."


    Upon hearing that, an upset expression red across Evan''s face before it quickly disappeared.
