Chapter 14 Inevitable
“He’s coming! He’s coming!” Jenny thought.
Jenny had already heard the increasingly proximate sound of footsteps coming from the door. She
became more and more anxious with every step. She just wanted to disappear. Trying to stay calm, she
looked up again, ready to face Alec. However, only Warren was there in front of her.
Where was Alec?
Why didn’t he come? Was he standing behind?
Jenny stretched her neck to check behind Warren, but nobody was there.
“Where’s that fellow?” Old Mr. Faust’s face fell. When he noticed Warren was the only person who came,
he already had a bad feeling.
“Mr. Alec said there was an emergency. He will come and see you later,” Warren couldn’t do anything
either. Alec said he wanted to leave. He couldn’t possibly stop him.
“Bastard!”
Old Mr. Faust threw a fit. He smashed the ground with his walking stick. “What’s so important that he

“Mr. Faust…”
“Grandpa, don’t be mad. You need to be mindful of your health,” Jenny comforted him. Knowing that Alec
had left, Jenny was relieved.
At the Lawrence’s. When Alec arrived, Faye’s parents were taking care of her in her room. They
immediately left the room to give the two of them privacy when they saw him.
“Auntie called me and said you’re not feeling well. What’s wrong? Why didn’t you go to the hospital?” he
asked.
“I’m fine. My mom was just making a fuss.” Faye felt a little embarrassed. She continued, “Sorry for
making you come. My bad.”
“No worries. I promised your brother to take good care of you.” He stared at Faye. “Are you sure you’re
okay? Why don’t we go visit the hospital?”
“I’m really okay. I know my own body.” Faye shook her head, feeling slightly guilty.
“If that’s the case, I’m going to head back to the Old Mansion now. My grandpa is still waiting for me to
have dinner with him.” After he finished speaking, he prepared to make a move.
“Alec!”
Faye suddenly called out to him with tears in her eyes. “If it wasn’t for my brother’s request, would you
even have noticed me?”
Alec silently looked at her. After some time, he finally answered, “Have a good rest and recuperate. Stop
thinking about all this nonsense.”
“Alec, I…”
“Alright, I’m going. Rest well, and take care.” After that, he left the room.
When Faye’s parents saw that Alec had left the room so early, they started to panic. “Alec, why don’t you

accompany Faye a while longer? She has been asking about you.‘
Alec’s eyes swept across them with a cold gaze as if he could see right through them.
“Take good care of Faye. If something happens to her, the Lawrence family will cease to exist.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnderstood?” he said coldly.
Before Anthony died, he had only asked Alec to care for Faye. He had never mentioned these two
people.
Mr. Lawrence repeatedly nodded. “We will take good care of Faye.”
He understood what Alec meant.
“Good,” Alec got up to leave.
“What about the collaboration?” Mr. Lawrence said through gritted teeth.
Alec replied while walking out of the door, “I’ll get someone to send the contract over tomorrow.” “Alright,
alright. We will surely not let you down.” Mr. Lawrence smiled happily, as did Mrs. Lawrence. Only Faye,
who was standing upstairs, pulled a long face. She looked at her parents disgustedly. “Why did you ask
Alec for another collaboration? Hasn’t he given you guys enough?”
“What do you know? A one–time deal could never compare to continuous collaboration. As long as we
work with Faust Group, we will never have to worry about money.” Mr. Lawrence shot her a glance. He
felt that his daughter was not bright at all.
Faye was so angry that her tears were about to fall. “Have you guys ever thought about how I would look
in front of Alec by doing all this?”
