Chapter 169 Prepared for the Worst
Yvonne regretted visiting Jenny that night. She wondered what would happen to herself if Jenny followed
through with the idea of remarrying Alec. However, she couldn’t let the opportunity to gloat about the
marriage in front of Jenny go to waste.
At first, she had given up all hopes of marrying Alec, especially after he gave her that murderous look. To
her surprise, Alec released her. When she realized the rumors about her marriage to him were still
circulating online, she started to get her hopes up
“Has he acknowledged the marriage if he hasn’t done anything to get rid of the rumors?” she thought.
She also wondered if Old Mr. Faust had forced Alec to marry her to protect their reputation. No matter
what, she considered the situation manageable. If Old Mr. Faust forced Alec to marry her, she stood a
high chance of getting married to him. The thought of it cheered her up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJenny was in a bad mood after Yvonne left. She had planned to cook dinner but lost all her appetite. For
that, she started cursing Alec in silence. Everything started because of him.
Amid her,irritation, she got a call from Gilbert. He briefed her on the Dickmans’ current situation and
suddenly asked, “Alec Faust is marrying Yvonne Dickman. What do you think of it?”
“What does that have to do with me? Why do you even ask me, Gilbert?” Jenny wondered why everyone
was concerned about her relationship with Alec when there was none.
Gilbert felt relieved after learning about her stance. “You’re his ex-wife, after all. I just wanted to get your
opinion. Do you think he’d marry her? And would he help the Dickmans after the marriage?”
She understood that he was concerned about Alec helping the Dickmans. If that happened, it would be
impossible for them to crush the Dickmans. She thought it over and answered, “I have no idea. We need
to be prepared for the worst, either way.”
Alec seemed to have no intentions of helping Yvonne’s family, but it would be tough for him to watch his
in-laws go bankrupt without lending a hand after he married Yvonne.
“Yeah, you’re right.” Gilbert nodded. He was not defeated. Anyway, he benefitted enough from the
Dickmans, and even if he stopped right there, he would not suffer from any loss.
After the call with Gilbert, Jenny couldn’t stop herself from checking news about Alec on social media
apps. Soon, she realized she was acting weird and forced herself to turn off her phone.
She did not like how uncool and lame she was. She believed that she had developed such weird
behavior because of Alec and decided to stay away from him.
Vincent knocked on the door of Alec’s office with an anxious heart. He found Alec working, which was a
normal sight.
“Mr. Faust,” he called but hesitated.
Alec did not look up. “What’s the matter?”
“George Dickman called. He wanted to set a time to…discuss the marriage with you.” Vincent secretly
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthought that George was playing with fire. Alec was clearly uninterested in Yvonne, but not only did her
family not stay away from Alec, they created gossip online, thinking that Alec would be forced to marry
Yvonne for real.
Vincent thought the Dickmans must be delusional, and Alec had shown enough restraint not to take them
down.
Alec finally stopped what he was doing and looked at Vincent. He scoffed. “Sure. I’ll visit them tomorrow.”
“Huh?” Vincent thought he misheard his boss. “Are you visiting the Dickmans?”
Visiting them at the height of the rumors might lead to more confusion. The public would think that Alec
was there to get the blessings of his future in-laws.
“Yes! Of course I’ll visit them,” Alec sneered. If Yvonne wanted to marry him so badly, he would not
disappoint her.
