To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 74

Chapter 74 She Would Not Give Up

After Alec was kicked out of Jenny’s place, he stared at her door defeatedly. Then, he sighed and left.

In the living room, Jenny looked grim as she typed furiously on the keyboard. Soon, all the information about the Dickmans was on the screen, ready for her perusal. She went through the data with a grave expression.

Just like Alec had said, the Dickmans were at a different level than the Lawrences. It wouldn’t be easy to take them down, but that didn’t mean she would give up.

Whoever wanted to mess with her needed to be ready for her revenge. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

At Dickman Villa, Steven made a call to his father again. “Dad, what’s Alec Faust up to? How would I have known about his relationship with that woman? Also, I technically didn’t do anything to her.”

Then, he urged his father, “Alright! Go ask him now! If I have to stay at home longer, I’ll go mad!”

After hanging up, he gave it some thought and decided that his father’s promise wasn’t good enough. He made another call.

Not long after, an irritated voice could be heard from the other end. “You’d better be calling me over serious matters!!”

“Yvonne, please come home and save me,” Steven was close to tears when he pleaded to his big sister, looking forlorn and pitiful. Yvonne was initially annoyed to be roused from her slumber, but his tearful voice brought her to her senses. “What’s wrong?”

Steven told her everything and added, “Alec Faust has ordered me to stay at home now. That’s basically house arrest!”

“You deserved it!” Yvonne gritted her teeth, feeling disappointed in her little brother. “I’ve warned you not to be a playboy because you’ll get into huge trouble one day. And you never listened!”

“Yvonne…” Steven sounded more pitiful after getting disciplined by her.

“That’s enough. I’ll be back tomorrow. You’d better not get into trouble with him before that,” she reminded Steven. As annoyed as she was with him, she couldn’t stay out of his affairs because they were siblings. Moreover, she was curious about the woman who was the reason behind Alec Faust’s rage.

He finally heaved a sigh of relief at her promise. “As long as you ask him not to come after me, I’m sure he’d oblige because of your relationship with him.”

“I’m hanging up.” With that, Yvonne ended the call.

Steven chuckled sheepishly. His thoughts wandered to Jenny Walter, and his expression crumbled. “Filthy bitch! Let’s see if Alec will bother to look after you when Yvonne’s back. When that happens…”

Jenny stood at the packed arrivals at Parrington Airport. Soon, she found the two men she had been waiting for.

“Gilbert! Zack!” She waved at them. They heard her voice and headed over.

“Didn’t I tell you not to come? Why are you here?” Gilbert’s gentle voice was peppered with disapproval. Jenny merely grinned at him-she knew he had only said so because he didn’t want to trouble her. “I’m free today anyway. I thought I’d pick you guys up, and we could have lunch together.”

“Okay.” Gilbert nodded and said nothing else. The trio walked toward the airport parking lot. Zack was awfully quiet during the entire walk, which drew Jenny’s attention. “Zack, what’s wrong?”

“I’m fine.” Zack shook his head, but Jenny didn’t believe him. Still, she refrained from pressing on because. they were all adults who had their own secrets. Even siblings needed some amount of space between them.

She opened the car door and asked casually, “Gilbert, Zack, what did you guys do abroad? Why were your there for so long?”

Gilbert glanced at a worried Zack and reluctantly answered on his behalf, “Nothing. Just dealing with some company matters.”
