Chapter 163 Down
Meanwhile, in Perry Residence, Jenny was in the shower. When she exited the shower, she noticed she
had a missed call. To her surprise, it was from Alec.
After a moment of thought, she called him back, but no one answered. Frowning, she wondered what
was going on.
Flinging the phone aside, she lay on the bed, ready to sleep. However, five minutes later, she found
herself calling Alec again.
Alec rarely called her, and it was even rarer for him not to pick up her call. Suddenly, Jenny thought of
the people who had stared at them in the grocery store. Perhaps their target wasn’t her, but it was Alec
instead.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that thought in mind, she began to worry. She dialed his number again, but she still received no
answer. Nonetheless, she didn’t give up and dialed once more.
Just as she thought she wouldn’t receive an answer again. The call connected, and she hurriedly asked,
” Alec, are you okay? Why was there no one on the phone just now-”
“Miss Walter?”
It was not Alec on the other end of the line, but Yvonne, whom she hated.
“Alec is taking a shower. Are you in a hurry to speak to him? Do you need me to pass him the phone for
you?” Yvonne asked, making sure Jenny could hear the sound of water from the bathroom.
Jenny was at a loss for words. She felt stupid for thinking that something could happen to the mighty
Alec. Why would he call her when he was with Yvonne?
“Miss Walter?” Yvonne called.
“There’s no need,” Jenny said coldly. “I called the wrong number.”
“Oh.” As soon as Yvonne finished speaking, Jenny hung up the phone.
Sneering. Yvonne turned off the shower and walked out of the bathroom. Watching the man lying on the
bed, she grinned as she removed her clothes and climbed into bed with him.
That night, Jenny slept very poorly. She had a dream that lasted all night, but she couldn’t remember
what she had dreamt about when she woke up.
In the morning, she dragged herself out of bed to make breakfast for herself despite her fatigue. Since it
was Sunday and she wasn’t on hospital duty, it was a rare day off. However, she didn’t feel like resting,
so she went to see Gilbert after breakfast to enquire about the current situation of the Dickmans and to
seek his help with the clothing brand.
With that, Alec cropped up in her mind. For some reason, Jenny felt a little down, as if a heavy weight

thinking about him. She had nothing to do with him, so why was he on her mind?
Little did she know, a piece of shocking news had flooded the Internet, and the main character of the
news was Alec.
Alec woke up naked beside Yvonne, who was also naked. However, that was not the worst part. Before
he could ask any questions, a large group of reporters rushed in with their cameras to take pictures. By
the time Vincent arrived, the reporters had already circulated the photos, and it was too late to stop them.
When all the reporters had finally been chased away, Alec glared at Yvonne, livid. She was still lying on
the bed.
“I drank with you when you were sad because you were my friend, and this is how you treat me?” he
spat, his voice cold as ice.
