Chapter 717 I'm Obviously Going Against You
Blake sat next to Alec in the restaurant, observing his eloquence, gentlemanly
mannerisms, and calm and collected temperament as he talked to their client.
This was the man she had fallen in love with. This was who she wanted to be with for the
rest of her life.
Thus, she willingly stood by his side when he was at his weakest. She believed that Alec
would one day take over the Fausts.
Alec's phone vibrated. He paused and looked at the screen.
"Apologies. I need to take this." He sounded apologetic as he got up with the phone in
hand.

Walter...
The caller ID had only one name on it, but Blake could instantly guess it was Jenny.
The rage in her heart sizzled. Alec was her man. She had bet the entire Watkins family on
him, so she couldn't bear to lose him to Jenny.
"You two go so well together, Miss Watkins," their client said. He intended to suck up to
her. Compared to the insignificant Alec, he'd rather win the favor of Miss Watkins.
Blake smiled in embarrassment. Although she was angered by Jenny's call, she didn't show
it on her face. "Thank you."
"When did you get together?" The client was curious. He was trying to gauge whether
Blake and Alec shared a relationship. If they were, he would choose to work with Alec as
well. But if they weren't, he would reconsider it. After all, everyone knew Alec's
reappearance was to compete with the Fausts for the position of the next heir. If one stood
by Alec's side, it would mean they were going against the rest of the Fausts.
If Alec failed, the client would be dragged down as well.
The question made Blake's eyes darken, but only for a second. "It's been a while."
The client relaxed. That was pretty much a confirmation of their relationship.
Alec's chances of success were strong with the Watkins by his side. Based on their
conversation before, this man had excellent capabilities. At least, in this aspect, the other
Fausts could not compare to him.
As they spoke, Alec accepted Jenny's phone call.
"What's the matter?" He sounded cold and a little annoyed.

"I'm busy." Alec remained cold. He was indeed busy. He had to return to the table to talk
business.
With his complete refusal, a twinge of sadness appeared in Jenny's heart. However, she
insisted. "I really need to talk to you. It's important."
"Miss Walter, we are strictly business partners. Why do you think I'd talk to you?" He spoke
emotionlessly.
Jenny was stunned. She gritted her teeth. ’If you don't talk to me, I will terminate all of our
partnerships."'
"Jenny Walter!" Alec was enraged. "Do you know what you're talking about?" "I do. I'm
obviously going against you, the future heir of the Faust family. But I don't care about
that." She had to see him. She already had her own reservations, so she had to see him
now to confirm her beliefs.
