Chapter 906 When You Turned Me Down in the Past
"Yeah, you should at least give me a chance to get to know you better." Melissa nodded
and looked at Alfred with anticipation.
He ignored her and turned to Jenny. "Why didn’t you think of giving me a chance when you
turned me down in the past?'
The two women fell into silence. The atmosphere was frigid for a moment, but Jenny was
quick. "That's because I know you didn't pursue me out of interest-you just wanted to
compete against Alec."
Alfred had nothing to say against her claim, and Melissa let out a relieved sigh. She’d be
at a loss if Alfred was truly in love with Jenny. Jenny was better in all aspects, and more
importantly, she was her boss. Thankfully, Alfred wasn't truly into Jenny.
"If you have nothing else to discuss, I'll leave." He stood up without any intent to continue

Jenny didn't stop him, worried that he might cause more embarrassment." He'd better
leave now and go back to making money for me," she thought.
Melissa didn't want him to leave, but she knew Alfred wouldn't listen to her.
Soon, Alfred left the restaurant, leaving Jenny and Melissa to finish their meals.
"I hope there's no misunderstanding. His feelings for me are not what you think. You might
not know his relationship with Alec Faust..."
"I know,' Melissa muttered, earning a shocked glance from Jenny. "I've looked into Alec
before, but it wasn't anything major."
Melissa knew the relationship between Alec and Alfred, which was why she immediately
understood the situation when Jenny brought up Alec." More importantly, even if Alfred
likes you, it wouldn't lead to any misunderstanding. He's clearly not into me." She
appeared rather upset.
Jenny didn't know what to say to Melissa. She went ahead and offered words of comfort,
"Straight guys like Alfred know nothing about romance. As long as you don't give up, you
will touch his heart one day." Jenny believed that persistence was the key to dating a
straight guy.
"Okay. Even if you don't point that out, I do not plan to give up on him." After all, Alfred
was Melissa's first crush. If she gave up on him so soon, it'd be embarrassing when the
others learned about it.
Jenny was reassured by Melissa's response—she seemed more resilient than previously
thought. They dropped the topic of Alfred because it was a little upsetting for Melissa.
"By the way, has your senior left?" Jenny was suddenly reminded of the weird man and
asked in curiosity.
Melissa shook her head. "I don't know. We're rarely in contact, mostly because he's hard to
reach, but you can ask Alicia about him. She might know something." Then, Melissa stared

Jenny shook her head dismissively. "That was just a random question. I'm not too
interested in his movements anyway."
"Okay. But I guess he hasn't left. I don't think Alicia invited him over just to get into a fight
with you. She knew that another person was involved in Jonathan's death besides you.’ To
Melissa, the other suspect seemed to be the real culprit. She had told Alicia about her
theory, but she had no idea if Alicia was receptive to it. If Alicia had listened, she would
have gone after Yvonne.
At the mention of Yvonne, Jenny could not help but feel impressed by the woman. Even
after receiving Jenny's warning, Brandon Britt insisted on keeping Yvonne by his side.
Jenny wondered if Brandon ever worried that she would take revenge on the Britts
because of Yvonne. She decided that she had to pressure the Britts using the power of the
Walters. She refused to make life easy for Yvonne-she had yet to make her pay for putting
her in danger by fanning the flames during Randy Glass' bombing incident.
