Chapter 1238 Do You Think You Still Have a Chance?
Faye felt that Anthony had understood it too late, unlike her, who had understood it many
years ago. That was why she yearned to be with Alec so much. But now, she understood
that she had no chance to stand by him, for he was too powerful and beyond her league.
"So, what do you want to do now? How can I help you?" Faye asked.
"I want you to go find Alec and ask him to let us off. I'll never bother him again," Anthony
said. After these few days, he came to terms with reality and knew he couldn't match up
to Alec.
"Do you think we still have a chance?" Faye asked, frowning.
"Yes, of course. You've been with him for so many years. He must have some feelings for
you. As long as you speak up, he'll definitely agree," Anthony analyzed.
Unfortunately, Faye wasn't so optimistic. "Anthony, you just made me see things as they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwere. But why can't you see it now? If Alec had any other feelings for me, I wouldn't be
here today," Faye said with a bitter smile.
Anthony's expression froze. Faye was right; Alec didn't like her at all. Even if she took the
initiative to approach him, Alec wouldn't spare her a second glance.
He slumped weakly in his chair and looked at the pile of files before him." So, we're
doomed? We can only wait for our demise to be upon us?"
Faye bit her lip. She knew what her brother was thinking. They had come a long way from
being orphans with nothing; if they had to go back to square one, it was even more
unbearable than death itself.
After a moment of silence, she decided to give it a try. "I'll go find Alec, but you have to be
prepared. The Wardleys may have to pay a lot."
"I know," Anthony said. He wasn't stupid. Even if Alec agreed to let them go, the Wardleys
wouldn't be the same as before henceforth.
After talking to Anthony, Faye went straight to the hospital without wasting anytime.
It was already the third day since Alec woke up in the hospital. He could barely get out of
bed, but as for Jenny, she had completely recovered, and everything was back to normal
for her.
At noon, while the two of them were eating, Faye knocked on their hospital room door.
Seeing that it was her, Alec didn't have much emotion and remained cold, but Jenny was a
little curious. She wondered, "Why is she here to find Alec at a time like this? Doesn't she
know the situation the Wardleys are facing now?"
"Sorry, Alec, I didn't know you were having lunch. Did I disturb you?" Faye's tone was
gentle, and even her gaze toward Jenny had changed. In the past, she was always full of
hostility toward Jenny, but now there was none of that at all. On the contrary, there was
even a hint of unctuousness.
"Well, this is interesting," Jenny thought, amused at Faye's attitude. It seemed that her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpurpose for coming today was different from what Jenny had in mind.
Alec looked at her and said calmly, "Since you know you're disturbing us, why don't you
leave now?"
In the past, Alec had some fondness for Faye. After all, she'd been like a sister to him for
so many years, but that was no longer the case. Alec felt that he was being merciful by
not making a move against her personally. He'd only targeted her family so far.
"I'm sorry. I'll leave now!" Faye had come to ask for a favor. At this point, she didn't dare to
offend them.
Seeing that she really wanted to leave, Jenny stopped her. "Since you're already here,
leaving now won't make much sense. You've already interrupted our meal anyway, so why
not tell us why you came?"
As Jenny said that, she'd already put down her spoon. Obviously, she was no longer in the
mood to continue eating.
