Chapter 381 Try Me!
Alec lit a cigarette by the door, gazing up at the night sky, deep in thought.
Footsteps sounded from behind him. It was Mortimer, surprised that his son was still there.” You’re still
here. Good. I need to talk to you about something.”
Alec tossed the cigarette on the ground and snubbed it with,his foot. “Really. What?”
“Break up with Jenny Walter and never have any contact with her again,” Mortimer said swiftly, oblivious
to his son’s hostility.
Alec sneered but said nothing.

not fit to be your wife, Alec!” Mortimer had no clue about Jenny’s background. Old Mr. Faust didn’t tell
him either, so Alec wasn’t going to start.
His hands curl into fists by his sides. “A woman like her? She’s a hundred times better than that whore
you ran away with.”
Mortimer’s face darkened immediately. “Don’t you dare talk about her like that!”
“You’re protecting her even after her death? How romantic. Like finds like, I guess.”
Alec’s mother had committed suicide because of them. His perfect family was ruined all because of his
degenerate father. Even Max had suffered, all because of this man and that woman who had long died.
“You fucking brat!” Mortimer lunged at him, fist already midair.
Unfortunately for him, Alec was no longer that sad little boy prone to abuse. He grabbed Mortimer’s wrist,
flinging him away. “You don’t have much time ahead of you, old man. If you want to live comfortably for
your remaining time, I advise you to stay the hell out of my life! As for Jenny -if you touch even a hair on
her head, I’ll make sure you wish you never did!”
So what if this man was his biological father? He had long thought him dead.
Mortimer was unfazed by the threat. He sneered, “Don’t forget that I’m still the head director of the
company,
Alec Faust. I’d like to see what you’re capable of, especially when the board will do what I tell them to do,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeven kicking you out as president.”
Alec didn’t show any fear. “Really? Fire me, then. We’ll see just how much the company depends
on me.”
Mortimer gritted his teeth angrily, then took a deep breath to calm himself. He couldn’t show a hint of
weakness in front of Alec. “Stay away from Jenny Walter if you know what’s good for her, or you won’t
get a warning before something happens to her.”
“Don’t you dare touch her!” Alec warned.
Mortimer grinned menacingly. “Try me.” He had all the power Alec had, given he was still the Faust
Group’s head director.
The father and son glared at each other, each longing to tear at the other’s throat.
Finally, Alec relented. “Just….stay away from her, and I will too.”
