To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)

Chapter 67 I Can't Wait

Steven felt uneasy after learning about Jenny's background, but even if he knew that Dr. Walter was Alec Faust's ex-wife, he would still put his hands on her. After all, it was rare to come across a beauty like her. If he didn't try her, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Of course, he was smart enough to keep his thoughts to himself, or else he might risk getting beaten up by Alec.

He pressed his bruised cheek and explained the situation to Alec. He wrapped up with honesty, "She's not here. My men couldn't find her too."

Alec obviously didn't trust his words. He scanned the villa and stared at Steven. Steven felt a chill down his spine, like he was the target of a predator. "Alec, I swear I am telling you the truth!"

They were distracted by Alec's ringtone. Alec quickly took the call and briskly left the villa, leaving the others wondering what had been said.

Seeing that, Steven heaved a relieved sigh. Once Alec was gone, he immediately ordered, "Get the car. I need to go to my dad's."

He had a taste of Alec's scary character and needed protection from it. At the door, he was stopped by at few bodyguards dressed in black. "Mr. Dickman, Mr. Faust has given orders to keep you at home until he finds Jenny Walter."

"A-Alec Faust!" Steven ground his teeth in hatred, but he dared not go against the man.

A few cars sped down the roads in the countryside. Alec got a call from Vincent, who reported on the clues he found in the surveillance footage. Apparently, Jenny Walter was abducted by another group of mer who had nothing to do with Steven Dickman. His face turned ashen, and he stepped harder on the accelerator.

At that moment, a red sports car in the left lane caught up with him. Max rolled down the car window, looking serious, and said, "Alec Faust, want to bet if Jenny would agree to marry me if I save her?"

As Max expected, he did not get an answer, but that was fine. He stepped on the accelerator and overtook Alec's car. As he was driving a hot rod, it was impossible for Alec to catch up with him.

In the abandoned warehouse, Jenny finally succeeded in cutting the ropes, but she kept quiet about it. Instead, she calmly addressed the abductors, "Sir, can't you take off the blindfold since I'm already tied up? You should at least let me see where I am."

The leader of the group looked solemn. He stared squarely at her for a long time, as he was always cautious. "You'd better behave. Don't pull any tricks. We can kill you if we want to."

"It's the blindfold-it's uncomfortable," she whined.

"Gus, it doesn't matter. Let's take it off." Then, the dirty one named Pip came up to her and took off her blindfold. She scanned the three men, but their faces were hidden under sunglasses and masks. Apart from their height and body shape, she could not pick up other details.

With a few quick scans, she could tell that the three were amateur-probably some street gangsters. Their client must be dim-witted for hiring amateurs and taking on the high risk of doing so.

Suddenly, a text arrived on Gus' phone. He read the message and smiled. "The money's in." After that, he started coordinating his men. "Pip, I'll take the video. Drew, stand guard at the door." "Heh heh. I can't wait." Pip walked over to Jenny while taking off his jacket.
