Chapter 152 Problem
They caught quite a bit of attention in the grocery store. In addition to their dashing and beautiful
appearance, they were not unknown members of the public.
Fortunately, the video recorded by the surveillance cameras in the hotel had been uploaded to the
Internet, and it clearly showed that Jenny had been knocked unconscious and brought into the room. It
successfully cleared the suspicion surrounding her.
At the moment, the police were spending their best efforts tracking down the burly men who had brought
her to the hotel, and they were convinced that useful findings would arrive soon.
“What would you like to eat, Jenny?” Gilbert all but ignored everyone. His gaze was fixed on Jenny as if
she was the only person in his world.
Jenny, on the other hand, didn’t like being stared at. She took out a mask from her bag and put it on,
“Well, anything is fine. Anything you cook is great.”

Jenny nodded in response. Meanwhile, Alec quietly observed them without voicing his opinion. He didn’t
mind that Gilbert didn’t ask him what he wanted to eat as he was well aware that Gilbert didn’t even want
to invite him to dinner in the first place.
But did he care? No. That wasn’t enough reason for him to leave them alone.
“Does your arm still hurt?” Jenny suddenly turned to look at him, pursing her lips. Her eyes were
unreadable.
Alec shook his head. “It’s alright. Don’t worry about it.”
“Who told you I’m worried? I just don’t want to owe you a favor.” She loathed owing favors, especially
those that were difficult to repay. In fact, she wished she had been injured instead of being in debt for a
favor.
Alec revealed a small smile, not taking offense to her words. “Don’t worry. You don’t owe me anything. I
did it willingly, so you aren’t in any way indebted to me.”
However, his reply only made Jenny feel more indebted. Ultimately, she decided she couldn’t repay the
debt through Alec. Instead, she would visit Old Mr. Faust someday. Since he was Alec’s family, treating
him well was equivalent to returning Alec’s favor, right?
Meanwhile, Alec was unaware of the thoughts going through her head. Suddenly, he frowned as he
scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze. Something was wrong.
“What’s the matter?” Jenny sensed Alec was behaving strangely. However, she found nothing amiss
when. she observed her surroundings.
Alec shook his head. “Someone is watching us, and I don’t think they mean well.”
Jenny instantly became wary. After what happened in the morning, she knew many people were easily
confused. Even the video the hotel had released was useless to them. Although she had been knocked
out and brought into the room, they insisted that wasn’t proof that she didn’t kill Steven.
“Where are you looking at? I don’t see,” Jenny asked in a low voice.
Frowning, Alec replied, “The one in the red shirt on your right, the two people in black behind them, and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe two in blue on our left seem a little suspicious.”
Apart from them, there were a few other people that Alec found suspicious. However, he didn’t want
Jenny to be afraid when he wasn’t certain. Hence, he didn’t point them out to her.
He reached for his phone and sent Vincent a message, asking him to bring his men over. Regardless of
whether these people had ill intentions, he decided to take them all away to question them. There was no
way he would allow the situation from that morning to repeat.
They dared to attack Jenny with boiling water in broad daylight. If they became a little bolder and used
sulfuric acid, the consequences would be disastrous.
Jenny studied the people Alec pointed out. She didn’t feel as strongly as Alec did about them. While she
could tell they were peeping at her, it wasn’t too obvious, and they were glancing at her at the same
frequency others did.
Nevertheless, she didn’t let her guard down. She knew that it was highly likely that there was a real
problem if Alec felt that way.
