Chapter 177 Blind to the Truth
When Old Mr. Faust finished talking, Alec chuckled and asked, “Is Jenny angry? Why do I feel that she
doesn’t care?”
He desperately wanted to pick up any emotions, including anger, from Jenny’s expression, but he found
nothing. She had an air of indifference regarding his relationship with other women or his lack of
protection for her.
“You’re blind to the truth. I’m sure Jenny’s angry at you,” Old Mr. Faust assured him.
Alec glanced at him but wondered if he was telling the truth. After all, his grandpa could say anything just
to get them back together. After a pause, he said, “Maybe. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about this. I’ll
handle it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You will?” Old Mr. Faust sounded unconvinced. “You’d better not mess up and anger her even more.”
Judging from Alec’s actions, he might come up with ways to make Jenny hate him more.
Alec glared at Old Mr. Faust and wondered, “Is he really my grandpa?”
“I’m going home. You should rest early.” Alec gave up on arguing with his grandpa because it was futile.
Old Mr. Faust chuckled and said, “Why don’t you stay the night? You’ll be alone in Faust Mansion
anyway.” Speechless, Alec knew that Old Mr. Faust was hitting where it hurt the most, and he left without
looking back. 1
Old Mr. Faust was fine with Alec not staying because he only casually suggested it anyway. Feeling jolly,
he said to Warren, “Didn’t I say they’re a good match? Take my word for it-they’ll be back together in no
time. It’s their destiny.”
“You’re right,” Warren concurred and nodded.
It was midnight when Jenny was done packing her luggage at Perry Residence. However, sleep eluded
her as the memories from the secluded corner with Alec occupied her mind. She was bothered by the
kiss on the lips that didn’t happen and further upset by the thought of Alec speaking up for Yvonne. She
tossed and turned on the bed but could not fall asleep. Finally, she gave up and opened her laptop to
work.
At the Dickmans’, Yvonne shut herself in her room to throw a fit. Once she was finished, she marched
into the study.
“Dad!” she called out to George Dickman, who stared at her without warmth.
“What’s the matter? Did your trip not go smoothly?” He was asking for the sake of it because he knew
how it went, judging from Yvonne’s outburst in her bedroom next door.
She nodded at him and said, “I will marry Sam Bloom.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oh?’ George was surprised. He thought she came to ask for more time.
She explained, “I gave it some thought. I’d rather marry Sam Bloom than marry someone like Alec Faust.
He clearly doesn’t love me. At least that fatso isn’t as difficult as Alec.”
She understood that her hands would be tied if she married Alec. She’d have to submit to him. However,
things would be different if she married Sam Bloom. She had a few interactions with that fatso before
and concluded that he was naive. She believed she could one day control the Blooms’ wealth if she
executed her plan well.
Since there was a slim chance that she could marry Alec or take over the Dickmans, her only hope lay
with the Blooms.
George beamed and felt glad that she agreed with his idea. “That’s right! I told you that the Blooms are
really sincere about the marriage. You’ll be happy if you marry Sam!”
“Yes. You’re right.” She dropped her head to hide the resentment in her expression.
