Chapter 229 Who Would Care?
She said nothing. Max, however, didn’t intend to stop just there. “Go on, tell me. What happened
between you and Alec? Are you really not going to give him a chance?”
She was silent.
“You know, I don’t think you should blame him for this. It’s his best friend, after all. Plus, I believe he must
have made sure Stephanie was alright, which is why he was in no hurry to tell you. Even if you hadn’t
found Paul, Stephanie would have come back safely.”
Jenny thought his words made sense. She looked at him and laughed. “Did an alien replace you? You’re
backing him up?”
Max treated Alec like his enemy, but he was not fanning the flames. Conversely, he was taking Alec’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtside. It was very unusual.
Max coughed dryly to ease the awkwardness. “You don’t know my true motives, then.”
“Really? Pray tell.” Jenny looked at him with a smile, waiting to see how he’d explain this.
“If you get back together, Alec will focus all his energy on you. He wouldn’t control Faust Group as much.
And I would be able to seize the opportunity. Besides, you’d be his weak spot. If I had no choice in the
future, I’d just take you as a hostage. It’s a better situation for me than before, when he had no weak
spots.
His words made sense, but Jenny didn’t believe him. Someone like Max wouldn’t think that far. He
derived pleasure upfront.
She thought it was weird, but she couldn’t think of the reason. She stared at Max for a few seconds
before saying, “I’m not sure how much Alec had to bribe you for you to say this.”
“Bribe?” Max chuckled. “The bad blood between us can’t be washed away with money.”
So it wasn’t a bribe. Jenny couldn’t think of anything else.
Max obviously didn’t want to say, and Jenny could not be bothered to ask. At this moment, the car
stopped at Dream Vonne Designs. She got out and walked straight in.
Max didn’t leave; he followed behind her. “I’m going to be your bodyguard. No need to thank me.”
Jenny rolled her eyes. Who would care?
They walked into the company, but someone at the front counter stopped them. Before Jenny could
speak, Max said, “Dickman LLC is bankrupt. Your company has been sold. The woman before you is
your new boss. Tell everyone in here to have a board meeting.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Uh…” The clerk was stunned.
She knew that Dickman LLC was bankrupt, and she was worried about her future. Now that these people
said that they were her new boss, she panicked.
“The legal procedures will be carried out shortly. Tell everyone to attend the meeting,” Jenny said, not
denying Max’s words.
Jenny’s voice was not loud, even emotionless, but she sounded trustworthy. The clerk nodded in a daze
and went to inform everyone.
Max glanced at her, surprised. “I didn’t think that you’d be so calm. You look just like a boss.”
“Thanks. But compared to you, ! have much to learn.” Jenny went inside the building.
Max was pleased. He tagged behind her. “That’s true. But don’t worry. If you run into anything that you
can’t solve, you can come to me for help. I promise to help in whichever way I can.”
Jenny ignored him and didn’t tell him that she and her brothers were taught together when they were
little. Managing a company was no problem for her at all.
