Chapter 942 Invisible
"Do you have that much confidence in yourself?’ Jenny asked. Yes, they escaped
unscathed, but who knows if luck would be on their side next time?
Their food was then served. Alec immediately served Jenny some soup, replying, "Here.
Well talk while eating."
Jenny dug in hungrily, having not eaten anything because of what happened earlier.
"It's not just confidence, actually. If we've done sufficient preparations, all we need left is
luck," Alec reassured her. "Like this time. As precarious as the situation was, all of us had
prepared backups, which minimized the threats."
Jenny had Paul contact the station while Alec had Vincent bring reinforcements; that was
partially why they made it out alive today.

hadn't told Paul to get the police? Or what if Zeke had decided to press the trigger on the
gun against her temple?
Alec said gently, ' Don't worry about it, Jenny. You won't be put in such danger next time."
He wouldn't let Zeke have another chance to threaten them. The Faust family would be in
danger this time forth, so Alec would jump on this chance to take all of them down.
Jenny pursed her lips but said nothing. The Fausts had nothing to do with her after all.
Only Alec.
While eating, Paul suggested they hang out afterward, to which Jenny rejected the offer. To
her surprise, Alec was onboard.
"It'd help our digestion." Alec didn't want to be apart from Jenny so soon. Yes, they lived in
the same building, but spending time together outside was different.
Paul shared the same view. Though Stephanie didn't want to talk to him, he still felt better
being able to be by her side.
Jenny and Stephanie shared a look, both sighing. Finally, Jenny relented," Alright. I did plan
on hanging out with Stephanie today."
What a delayed girls' date, huh.
As if making up for his sins, Alec proceeded to buy loads of gifts and items for Jenny and
Stephanie while they walked into the mall.
"Thank you, but I can't accept these, Mr. Faust." Stephanie felt guilty, knowing Alec was
only doing it because he cared about Jenny.
But Alec disagreed. "I’m responsible for what happened to you today. I wouldn't be able to
forgive myself if you didn't accept these."
Stephanie wanted to argue further when Jenny tugged on her sleeve. "Just take them. He

Jenny wholeheartedly agreed with Alec being responsible. She could let it go if only she
was involved, but dragging in a total outsider was just inappropriate.
"I can buy these for you if you don't want them from his pocket," Paul offered excitedly.
Stephanie instantly shook her head. "I'll accept these then. Thank you for being so kind,
Mr. Faust."
At least she wouldn't owe Alec anything by accepting these gifts. As for Paul, well...
Paul stiffened, mood plummeting into the seven hells below.
He ended up silently-and disparagingly-trailing behind his friends, deciding it was better to
stay invisible.
He had never imagined feeling so blue just because someone refused a gift from him.
