Chapter 578 You're Not Scared, Are You?
Alec understood what she meant, so he didn't refute her. 'You have a good point. It's best that Paul learns how to
truly love someone."
Otherwise, their relationship might not make it through all the challenges that arose once things turned serious.
Frankly, Alec was quite similar to Paul in terms of romance. He just wasn't as overbearing—he'd never dreamt of
caging her by his side. Instead, Alec would try and win her over through his actions.
Dinner was soon ready for the three people.
"We're going back to Bardoff City tomorrow, right?" Graham asked, just to make sure.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJenny nodded. "Right away after getting Stephanie out, yes."
Even if Graham was there in person to support this plan, Jenny still didn't want to risk dallying around. It was safer
to leave as soon as possible.
Graham nodded. He wasn't concerned about this Paul Wagner fellow, especially when his territory was limited to
Parrington. Things would be different if the man were situated in Bardoff City. After all, Parrington's powers couldn't
compare to Bardoff City's.
Jenny turned to Alec. "What about you? When do you plan to leave for the city?"
"Maybe in a few days. I still have to work to settle here." He wasn't going to leave so soon, partially because of Paul
too. Paul was his friend, and he would most likely need to console him after losing Stephanie. Alec was already
feeling bad for not helping Paul. It was the least he could do to retain their friendship.
Jenny nodded and ate her food. Graham, however, huffed, "You're not scared of the Glasses, are you?"
Graham preferred taking action once concrete plans were made to prevent the risk of the odds stacked against
him. How could their plan to take the family over be put into action if Alec wasn't going to play his role in Bardoff?
"Don't worry, sir. I won't take too much time," Alec replied kindly. He wasn't going to lose his temper on Jenny's
father, of all people.
Before Graham could respond, Jenny said, "Don't rush things. It'll do us good to make sure we're fully prepared. The
Glass family won't be easy to take down."
Graham was left staring glumly at her. "This wasn't what you said before, dear daughter," he thought. However, he
had lost the right to say things like that when he let the Wilkins family foster her.
After dinner, the three of them returned to their respective rooms to rest. Tomorrow was a big day, after all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn Paul's villa, the man frowned when he noticed Stephanie staring off into the distance, deep in thought.
"What's on your mind?"
Stephanie turned back to glance at him, then shook her head. "It's nothing."
"Are you bored?' Paul went up to her, tone and demeanor much gentler than it used to be.
Stephanie said nothing. In truth, she was worried about her parents. She had barely visited nor called them
because of tight supervision under Paul's command, wanting them to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble.
"Alec says Jenny is back in Parrington. Do you wanna have lunch with her? I'll come with you."
Paul asked something he had never asked before. He didn't like Jenny and didn't want Stephanie to be in contact
with that woman, but he didn't want to see Stephanie upset, either.
