Chapter 237 He’s My Enemy
Melodious music filled Max’s car.
“Alec doesn’t seem as scary as those people make him out to be.” Jade was scrolling through her phone,
reading up about him.
“Don’t be fooled by his appearance,” Max replied. “He’s only honest with Jenny around. In reality, his
schemes run deep.”
The Fausts wouldn’t have ben as prosperous as if Alec hadn’t been capable.
“You stood up for him, but now you’re talking behind his back. Are you helping him out or not?” Jade put
her phone away and looked at Max.
Max smirked. “Why would I help him? He’s my enemy. But, even though I hate him and want to destroy

but he
had to tell the truth when it came to it.
“Head over heels? Would he have divorced her if that’s true?” Jade didn’t buy it.
Max laughed loudly. “That was just a misunderstanding.” Then, he told her everything in detail, especially
the time when Alec had no idea who Jenny was and made a fool of himself. He laughed while talking
about it.
He thought it’d be something he’d use to laugh at Alec for the rest of his life.
Jade was speechless. “So when he began to have feelings for Jenny, he had no idea at all that she was
his ex-wife?”
“Yeah. Isn’t that hilarious?”
It was. Jade laughed, too. “Well, even so, I still have to keep an eye on him. Who knows if this is all just
an act?” Jade said, still having some reservations about Alec.
Max pursed his lips and said nonchalantly, “Do you need to? I thought you were giving him a chance
when you let him take her home.”
“How could that be?” Jade retorted at once, but she felt a little guilty since that was exactly what she
thought.
It was eerily quiet in Alec’s car.
“Don’t take Jade’s words to heart,” Jenny finally said after a long while.
Alec glanced at Jenny. “What she says is the truth. I didn’t cherish you back then.”
Most importantly, he didn’t know that Jenny was his ex-wife. Neither did he know that he would fall in
love. Now that he looked back, he thought that he was crazy back then. Why didn’t he visit her when

“That doesn’t matter. We’ve missed our chance; we just aren’t meant to be. There must be a reason that
destiny has kept us apart, so I don’t think you should be wasting your time on me.” She thought it was
better to reject him. With Alec’s frequent appearances, she felt her emotions growing complicated. She
didn’t like how it felt and wanted to cut him off completely.
It was a shame that Alec wasn’t the type to easily give up. He didn’t agree with what she said. “If it
weren’t meant to be, we wouldn’t have met after the divorce, and I wouldn’t have fallen for you. I think it’s
just how destiny is challenging us.” Alec stepped on the break, and his gaze trailed toward Jenny. “Don’t
keep rejecting me, Jenny. Give me a chance. No, give yourself a chance.” 1
They locked eyes with each other. Jenny felt her heartbeat quicken. Alec was leaning in, and she
couldn’t quite catch her breath.
