Chapter 166 What Am I Doing?
When Jenny checked the news in the afternoon, Alec’s upcoming marriage remained a hot topic. The
Dickmans’ official admission of Alec and Yvonne’s marriage pushed the news to trend again.
She checked the comments under the news on her phone. The majority of the comments praised the
future bride and groom as a match made in heaven and congratulated the couple-a marked improvement
compared to the malicious gossip back when she married Alec.
She chuckled, turned off her phone, and asked herself, “What am I doing?”
She reminded herself that Alec’s marriage was none of her business, and she wondered why she’d
spend the whole morning thinking about it.
At Faust Group building, Vincent was dragged to the pantry and surrounded by a crowd. “Vincent, is Mr.
Faust marrying Miss Dickman for real?”

“You’re his assistant, and you know him best. Just tell us-we promise to keep it a secret!” Someone was
unhappy at Vincent’s silence because he was obviously ignoring them. He was Alec’s assistant, so he
couldn’t possibly know nothing.
“Well…I really don’t know a thing!” Even if Vincent knew the details, he’d be stupid to leak them. If he
spread gossip when Alec was still upset, the consequences would be dire.
“Vincent, just tell us!”
“Right! Just tell us…”
“Are you all too free because there’s not enough work going around?” Silence fell on the pantry when the
crowd heard a cold voice. Vincent turned around and saw Alec at the entrance. Feeling jittery, he
mumbled, “Mr. Faust.”
Alec ignored him and scanned the other faces instead. “I hired you to work, not to gossip.”
“Sorry, Mr. Faust…” everyone mumbled and dodged his gaze.
“There will be a one-month bonus deduction for each of you. If this happens again, you’ll be fired
immediately.” His frosty eyes traveled through their faces before returning to his office. Vincent quickly
followed him.
Everyone in the pantry finally relaxed when the two men disappeared from their field of vision. Someone
was sweating bullets, a perfect example of how much stress they had gone through. A month’s worth of
bonus was huge, but it was not as bad as losing their job at Faust Group. They let out a collective sigh of
relief.
In Alec’s office, Vincent stared anxiously at his boss. “Mr. Faust, the Dickmans’ misled the online chatter
into believing your marriage to Miss Dickman. Do you think we should…”
“Let it be,” Alec said.
“About Miss Dickman…” After some hesitation, he finally blurted out the question because Yvonne was

Upon hearing the mention of Yvonne, Alec looked at him with a murderous gleam that disappeared
quickly in his eyes. “Let her go.”
“L-Let her go?” Vincent thought he had misheard his boss.
“Everyone knows that I’m marrying her. I can’t have her under our capture. We have to let her go.” As the
main character in the news, she would have to show up for the public to believe in the marriage.
Vincent was perplexed at Alec’s actions. Why did he sound like he would marry Yvonne for real?
“That can’t be! I thought he was in love with Miss Walter?” Vincent wondered. He was confused but
dared not ask more questions. “We got a call from the Old Mansion. They want you there, probably to
discuss.
Miss Dickman.”
Given the explosive circumstances, Old Mr. Faust was calm enough not to pay Alec a visit.
