Chapter 175 How Dare You Compare Yourself to Her?
In the end, Yvonne didn’t lay a finger on Jenny because someone held her back even before Jenny
reached out to stop her.
“Alec…” Yvonne’s heart sank when she saw Alec appearing out of nowhere. She was anxious that he
might get angry at her for trying to slap Jenny.
Jenny looked at him as well. Since he approached from the front, she guessed he might have taken a
detour from the other side of the wall.
“Huh, he must be afraid that he’d get busted by Yvonne,” Jenny thought. “He’s a huge jerk for dragging
me along while worrying about Yvonne finding out.”
Still, she was mostly angry at herself. After learning that Alec was a jerk, she still fell for his seduction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe more she thought about it, the more she wanted to slap him to calm her anger.
Yvonne’s wrist was in pain from Alec’s tight grip, and she almost fell to her knees. “Alec, I…” Tears
welled up in her eyes as she searched for an excuse.
He let go of her and said in a strict but doting tone, “Dr. Walter is Grandpa’s guest. You’re being a little
rude to her.”
Yvonne was in disbelief at his cool response. She gathered herself and looked at Jenny. “I’m sorry, Miss
Walter. I was too agitated just now. I shouldn’t have been rude to you.”
Jenny remained silent as she examined Alec. Was that all he had to say about the situation? His inaction
weighed heavily on her heart, and she found it hard to breathe.
The memory of their secret kiss in the corner was fresh in mind, yet Alec was now protecting Yvonne, as
though he didn’t care about Yvonne trying to slap her.
Since Jenny didn’t say a word, Yvonne had to speak again, “Miss Walter, I believe you’re easygoing. You
won’t hold it against me, right?”
“Of course. Dr. Walter has always been forgiving.” Alec chimed in. Jenny only had one thought, which
was to escape from their exchange and never see them again.
“I am. Had Mr. Faust not stopped you, I would’ve done the same to you as revenge. We would be even
then,” Jenny smiled and spoke the truth-she had seriously considered the idea just now.
Yvonne’s expression fell upon hearing Jenny’s blunt statement. Jenny walked to the main entrance while
saying, “It’s late. I won’t overstay my welcome. I’ll get going.”
Alec didn’t stop her. When she was gone, he called Warren and instructed, “Get someone to send Dr.
Walter home. Look out for her safety.”
After that, he ended the call and turned his attention to Yvonne. Her heart was palpitating from his

Jenny
would take you away from me. I didn’t intend to hurt her in the first place.”
“You’re worried that she might take me from you?” He smirked as if she had told him a joke..
“Alec…”
“How dare you compare yourself to her?” he fired away with an icy expression. His remark confused her.
One minute ago, he had helped her, but his attitude was different now.
“Did you seriously think I’d marry you?” He broke into a laugh.
“You won’t? Why didn’t you clarify this to the public then?” She was puzzled by his decision to bring up
the topic at this time. He stared at her without explaining. Yvonne was not dumb, though. When she
recalled how Alec had treated Jenny just now, she arrived at the truth-one that made her descend into
madness.
