Chapter 827 What Does That Have to Do With You?
Jenny would've agreed to dinner with Luke if it weren't for her needing to go to the police
station. She had just inherited the title of the family's head, after all. There was no reason
not to keep the peace with the Fausts.
"You misunderstand, Mr. Luke. I really do have an errand to run. The police need me to
make a statement at the station about what happened last night.’
Sometimes it didn't seem like there were any upsides to inheriting the title. If it weren't for
her family, she wouldn't consider going out for dinner with Luke Faust.
The man believed her. "Why don't I drive you there? I have time."
"Uh...no, thank you." Now Jenny was at a loss for what to do. She really, really didn't want

Just then, Alec came by. "Hey, Jenny. Off work already? C'mon, let's grab dinner."
Jenny was surprised to hear that, then quickly recovered upon realizing what Alec was
doing. "Yeah. Okay."
"Let's go." Alec ignored Luke entirely. He'd usually show him decent respect in front of
Zeke, but they were nowhere near the man right now, so.
Jenny was about to leave with Alec when Luke grabbed her by the wrist." Didn't you say
you had to go to the station? You turned down my offer for dinner, but here you are
accepting Alec's?"
"Of course she is. What are you to her?" Alec forcefully pried Luke's grip off of Jenny, then
stood in front of her protectively.
Luke sneered, eyeing the two. "How bold of you, Alec Faust. Less than a day after breaking
up with that Watkins girl and you're already trying to climb into Jenny's bed. Is she better
for your cause now?’
"What does that have to do with you?" Alec scoffed. No use wasting his breath on
someone from such a low level compared to him. The only thing they shared was a last
name.
Luke turned to Jenny. "I take it you choose him, then."
"I'm afraid I don't understand you, Mr. Luke. I did plan to have dinner with Alec after the
trip to the station. I just never imagined him to come over so early." Jenny acted innocent,
neither wanting to have dinner with Luke nor piss him off.
Yet to Luke, that was a clear rejection, sufficient for him to note it in his black book. With a

Alec then left with Jenny in his car, leaving Luke to stare silently at the vehicle fading into
the city streets.
He had seriously considered courting Jenny and one day marrying her, so one day he'd not
just gain more recognition with Zeke but also own everything the Walters had. It looked
like that dream just went up in smoke.
Well, if he couldn't have it, no one else could.
His father had taken action against Alec. Might as well let him take care of Jenny too.
Alec and Jenny were oblivious to the plan. Even if they weren't, they couldn't do anything
to prevent it. All they could do was grit their teeth and persevere through whatever
difficulties came their way.
