Chapter 442 The Schemes Run Deep
If Alec had talked to her about it beforehand, she might have agreed to play along and pretend to break
up with him. But he had made his decisions and kept her in the dark, not caring if she’d be hurt. She
wouldn’t forgive him for this.
Alec was disappointed. “Alright. I was wrong. It’s a given that you’d punish me.”
“It’s late. I need to get some rest.” Jenny got up and went to her room. She didn’t want to talk to Alec
anymore. She’d already learned what there was to learn. It didn’t matter if it was the truth. It was all that
Alec could tell her.
Alec sat on the sofa, watching Jenny close the door. He sighed helplessly after a while, then went to bed.
Meanwhile, in Fausts’ Old Mansion in Parrington, Mortimer was spending his days aimlessly after Alec

Old Mr. Faust didn’t like seeing Mortimer like that. He said, “If you’d like to have something to do. I’ll get
Alec to let you manage one of the companies.”
“I don’t want his pity,” Mortimer spat. He was Old Mr. Faust’s son. He should have inherited Faust Group.
Why would he need the scraps that Alec gave him?
“Mortimer, don’t you ever feel guilty toward Alec?” Old Mr. Faust was feeling regretful as he watched
Mortimer. Why would he have a son like this?
Mortimer was stunned for a moment, then he snorted. “Why would I feel guilty? He’s been living the good
life here in the mansion, and he’s the president. Isn’t he doing better than I am?”
Old Mr. Faust shook his head, thinking Mortimer was too far gone to be saved. “He’s your son, Mortimer.
But are you a father to him?”
That made Mortimer quiet for a while. “Do you think there’s a point in saying this now?” It didn’t matter to
him if he and Alec made up. The two of them would never be able to live together in peace.
“I just don’t understand why you would let Alec get together with Jenny. Isn’t she just a doctor?” No one
knew what Old Mr. Faust was thinking. Not even his own son. Anyone would only think. about how to
strengthen the Faust family. Old Mr. Faust should have given Alec a princess, not a doctor.
Old Mr. Faust no longer wanted to keep Mortimer in the dark. “Jenny is not as simple as you think.
He was worried that Mortimer would act rashly if he didn’t know of Jenny’s identity. He told Mortimer
briefly about Jenny’s identity, emphasizing, “Do not tell anyone of this.”
Mortimer said nothing, but a strange light flashed in his eyes. So, that was why Old Mr. Faust would
agree to it. No wonder Alec refused to let her go. Their schemes ran deep.-
How could Mortimer let Alec be the one to be part of the Ten Elites of Bardoff City?

quite thought that Mortimer would now leave Alec and Jenny alone.
Mortimer went back to his own home. He didn’t live in the Old Mansion; he had another house. Of
course, anyone would think he lived there alone, but someone else was living with him.
“Get close to Jenny. Make her fall in love with you,” he told the person sitting in the living room in the
dark.
The person lifted up his head and smirked. “Why should I?”
“Haven’t you always wanted to smash Alec to pieces? You can do that if you make her fall in love with
you.” Mortimer smiled.
The person was intrigued. He fell deep in thought, then snapped his fingers. “Leave it to me.”
