Chapter 479 I Just Want Your Life
Jenny chuckled and didn’t take it seriously. “Who knows? I’m not interested in him anyway.”
She wasn’t joking; she really wasn’t interested in Derrick. Hence, she didn’t care about what he was up
to. It had nothing to do with her as far as she was concerned.
Upon hearing Jenny’s words, Alec inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief once more. It was good that
she wasn’t interested in him. He was dreading that Jenny might somehow be interested.
Alec drove at a consistent speed. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Perry Residence. After Jenny
got out of the car in the underground parking lot, she noticed that Alec was still inside and hadn’t gotten
out yet. She asked, “Do you have something else to do?”
“Yeah. There’s still some work at the company,” Alec replied.
“Since you had something to do, you didn’t have to come and pick me up. It was troublesome for you to
make that extra trip.” Jenny felt a little guilty. She thought Alec had come to pick her up after finishing
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthis work.
Alec had a smile on his face as he said to her, “It’s no trouble at all. The time spent with you is the most
relaxing time in my day. I wish I could be with you every day.”
Although it sounded cheesy, Alec meant every word he said.
Jenny’s cheeks became slightly flushed. She didn’t expect him to be so candid and glared at him.
exasperatedly. “Who wants to be with you every day? Just because you have the time for that doesn’t
mean it’s the same for me.”
Besides, if she remembered correctly, she hadn’t forgiven this man yet, right?
Alec didn’t argue with her. As long as Jenny understood his feelings, that was enough. “Go back
quickly. I’ll leave now.” Alec waved at her and drove away.
Jenny watched his car disappear and then turned to enter the elevator, pressing the button for her floor.
While waiting for the elevator, Jenny kept thinking about her relationship with Alec. Sometimes, she
couldn’t figure out her own feelings toward him.
If she said she didn’t like him, it wasn’t convincing as she didn’t really mind when he got closer to her,
and she even looked forward to it. But if she said she liked him, she couldn’t get over the fact that he
had deceived her before. She sighed, unable to figure it out. Therefore, she decided to just let it be and
see how it played out.
As she was thinking about that, footsteps approached from behind. Someone stood beside her,
seemingly also waiting for the elevator.
Jenny turned her head to look, thinking it was just a neighbor from the same residential building.
However, as soon as she saw the person, her hair stood on end, and she quickly moved aside by
several steps.
“Hey, little girl. What a coincidence. We meet again.” The woman smiled at her, seemingly harmless.
Jenny didn’t think the same. Although the woman didn’t kill her when they last met in Bardoff City,
she knew she wasn’t a match for her. If this woman wanted to kill her now, Jenny might not be able to
put up a fight.

“I don’t want anything,” she replied, smiling faintly. In the next second, her glare suddenly became
murderous. “I just want your life.”
Jenny wasn’t surprised to hear that. She didn’t think this woman would spare her every time they met.
She might have been just testing something out the last time, and this time, she was really going
through with what she came to do.
“Do you have a grudge against me or something?” Jenny asked because she was sure that she’d
never met this woman before.
The woman chuckled. “No, not exactly. But you’ve offended someone who’s above me. I’m just doing
what I’m told, so don’t blame me if you die, okay?”
She acted innocent, and Jenny cursed inwardly, “How dare you pretend to be innocent when you’re
here to kill me?”
“I don’t understand. Why would someone like you work for someone else?” Jenny was stalling for time,
not in a hurry to fight her opponent.
