In This for Our Own Gain
"When have I ever not made an improvement?"
Alec retorted, rolling his eyes.
Paul shook his head, laughing.
"Alright, fuck off then.I still have things to do."
Alec got up.He was about to leave anyway.
"Be patient with Stephanie.Do some gestures that are meaningful to her, and don't force her to do
anything again.novelebook You wouldn't be able to take any of Jenny's retaliations right now."
"Fine, goddamn it.I know I'm no match for either of you." Paul rolled his eyes.
Alec clearly just didn't want to get on Jenny's bad side.
Still, even as Jenny was powerful on the surface, she might not have the same reign and tenacity in the
underworld where Paul ruled.
Knowing Paul had his backup plans, Alec left the office.He soon got a call from Zeke, asking him to
come over.
Alec didn't refuse, having already guessed what it would be for.He might as well explain himself, seeing
they were still working together.
Meanwhile, Blake was under her family's spotlight back home, their gazes mixed with contempt,
amusement, and ridicule.
Blake knew very well what was on their mind; how much of a laughing stock she was after all the effort
to climb onto Alec Faust had gone to waste just like that.
"He hadn't even inherited the family title before he broke up with her," they sneered.
Even Blake found it ridiculous.
"Wasn't your relationship going smoothly? Why the sudden breakup?"
Blake's grandfather grumbled.He had held out hope that Blake would succeed with her plans.
That was down the drain now.
"It was because of Jenny Walter!" Blake complained.
"They were in a relationship back then, and now Alec wants her back."
But her grandfather didn't care why, only how.
"So? Is there no hope left for you and Alec Faust?"
"I won't give up, Grandad.Please let me try ag—"
"That's enough!"
Blake's father roared.He had never had a good impression of her daughter, so the news didn't surprise
him one bit.
The man gazed at his father, saying, "Dad, Alec contacted me before the news was released.He's
assured our cooperation continues even though he's broken up with Blake.All terms and conditions as
before still apply."
Alec was choosing to work directly with the Watkins instead of through Blake.
"Can we trust him?"
"We're all in this for our own gain, Dad.Whether we can trust him is irrelevant."
While Blake's grandfather grew silent in thought, she wanted to speak up again when her mother
stopped her,novelebook gesturing for her to keep her mouth shut.
Blake pouted, fuming in silence.
After a while, the old man nodded.
"Alright.I'm still uncertain if that kid can win the title in his family.It'd be good for us to continue working
with him for the time being, but we still have to be careful lest that old fox finds us out."
"Alright."
