Chapter 325 He Has an Ulterior Motive
Christopher drank his coffee, feeling like he was about to be exposed.
“We’re not going to keep things to ourselves. Why don’t you tell us what your motives are? I’d help you if
I could.” She had agreed to eat with him so she could ask him about it.
A smile tugged at Christopher’s lips. She’d definitely be able to help if she agreed to marry him. The
coffee was running out, so he had to put it down. He met Jenny’s gaze and said, “I was joking, really. You
got together with Alex and not me, after all. I was just angry. I only have one motive: to make you my
girlfriend. Even better, to have you marry me. I would definitely be a better choice
than Alec.”
Alec was instantly upset. What did Christopher mean? Why did he have to drag him into this?
“Ignore him, Jenny. He definitely has an ulterior motive.” Alec regretted taking her there. He should have

Christopher was unwilling to tell the truth. Jenny didn’t ask him anything else, but she was visibly
peeved. “If you don’t want to tell me, then I’ll have to ask you to stop bothering me after this meal.”
“Jenny…”
“If you want to be friends, Mr. Spade, you need to know that friends don’t keep secrets from each other.”
Although unsure of his intentions, she was certain he was just as Alec had said. He had his
reasons.
Christopher found it hard to look her in the eye after that. If this were about anything else, he could use
his status as the heir of the Spade family to subdue her, but how could he do that when it came to
feelings? She’d only feel repulsed by him.
He turned toward Alec, upset. “It’s true that friends need to be honest with each other, but are you sure
that this person next to you is sincere?”
Alec’s advantage was that he had known Jenny longer. If not, perhaps it’d be unclear who would be her
boyfriend now.
“What do you mean? What right do you have to accuse me of being dishonest with her?” Alec stood up.
His patience was at its limit.
Christopher didn’t back down. He sneered at him. “Honesty is not proven by words. Why are you being
so loud?”
“I’m not afraid of you, Christopher Spade. If you upset me, I’ll make sure you never leave Parrington.” It
was a good thing that Christopher stayed in Alec’s city. He would have no means to defend himself if
Alec decided to go for him.
Christopher coughed dryly. He believed that Alec had the ability to do that. “Why? Are you feeling guilty
because I exposed you?”
“You fucker!” Alec was about to rush toward him, but Jenny pulled him back in time, preventing an ugly

“Forget it. We can’t let him get under our skin.”
“Jenny.” Alec was still upset.
“Who cares what he says? Do you think I’d believe him over you? You don’t have to be this mad,” Jenny
comforted him. She didn’t think he needed to be angry. Although she was sure that
Christopher had his motives, she believed in Alec. Hence, she didn’t care about what Christopher had to
say.
Alec heaved a sigh of relief. “Thanks, Jenny.”
“What do you mean, thanks? How can a relationship survive if we don’t even trust each other?” Jenny
didn’t think his thanks were necessary. It was a given that she would trust him.
“You’re right. I was being rash.” Alec sat, deciding to wholly ignore Christopher’s presence.
