Chapter 423 So You Agree?
Alec was busy at the Faust Group when Natalia arrived. Frowning, he asked, “What are you doing
here?”
He didn’t want to be seen with Natalia by the media as they were about to break up, and he didn’t want
to give them any reason to speculate.
Natalia was embarrassed but decided to talk to Alec after witnessing Jenny’s behavior toward her
earlier that night.
“Are you still busy?” she asked as she approached him.
Alec was not in the mood to entertain her and asked, “What’s the matter?” He viewed their relationship
as strictly business, so he didn’t see any need to be polite.

Alec’s expression changed suddenly, and he glared at her. “Have you been spying on me?”
Natalia chuckled nervously. “Do I need to spy on you? Your breakup with Jenny is common
knowledge.”
Alec didn’t understand why Natalia was concerned about the topic and said, “What does that have to
do with you? If you’re ready, we can announce our breakup tomorrow.” If he hadn’t promised her to wait
for three days, Alec wouldn’t have even waited for a moment longer.
“Well, that may be possible.” Natalia agreed, feeling it would be better to break up sooner rather than
later. If Alec’s relationship with Jenny was ruined by the delayed breakup, she would feel extremely
guilty.
Alec was surprised and asked, “So you agree?”
Natalia replied, “Why not? I thought we could wait a few more days to tell my parents, but nothing will
change.”
Sooner or later, she would have to face the music.
Alec’s expression improved, and he said, “Okay, we’ll announce it tomorrow. So, why did you change
your mind?” He had promised to wait another three days, so Natalia agreeing to announce their
breakup the next day was strange.
Natalia bit her lip, unsure whether to speak or not.
Alec noticed her confusion and asked sharply, “What’s the reason?”
Natalia hesitated before confessing, “Actually, I went to see Jenny before coming here.” She avoided
eye contact as she spoke.
Alec stood up angrily, confronting her. “You went to find her? Why? What did you tell her?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I just told her that we are breaking up and that you got together with me because you had no choice,”
Natalia explained quickly.
Alec’s expression turned cold, and his voice became icy. “So, you told her about my father?”
Natalia nodded, not understanding why both Alec and Jenny acted so weirdly about his father” Was I
not supposed to?”
Alec was angry. “That is my business. Who gave you permission to tell her about it?”
Alec could only imagine how upset Jenny was. He hadn’t told her his father had returned, so she might
think he was lying again.
He felt an oncoming headache. He and Jenny had misunderstandings because of Quinn, and now
Mortimer was added to the equation. How could he explain everything to her?
He thought he wouldn’t need to tell her about Mortimer after getting rid of him, but now, it seemed
unavoidable.
