Chapter 460 It's Best to Fire Him
They ate at the dining table.
Jenny had to admit that Alec's cooking skills were improving. This meal tasted like one in a five-star
restaurant.
"Is Alfred working in your company?" Alec suddenly asked.
Jenny was stunned. She looked at him in disbelief. "Do you know him?"
Alec nodded and told her about the investigation. "You mentioned him last night, so I told Vincent to do
some digging. I didn't think that an illegitimate child would actually exist."
Jenny smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say. She was only suspicious before, but now it was
confirmed. "Why is he working at my company if he's your father's son?" she asked. It couldn't just be a

Alec looked at her, evidently deep in thought. "I think he has ulterior motives. It's best to fire him." He
would never be at ease with someone like Alfred by Jenny’s side.
"That's going to be hard. I just signed a contract with him. If I fire him now, I'll have to compensate him."
Jenny smiled bitterly. She blamed herself for not doing a background check before hiring him.
Alec thought it was hilarious. "I'll pay."
"It's not about the money. It's about my pride." Alfred was the one with the ulterior motive. Why was she
the one who would suffer losses?
"So what are you going to do? Are you going to let him work at your company?" Alec was upset, but he
didn't show it. He knew that Jenny had her own ideas. She didn't like anyone making decisions for her.
Jenny was not going to deceive him. She nodded. "Based on his resume, he's a genius. As long as he
doesn't sabotage the company, I could care less about whose son he is."
Alec couldn't tell if she was joking. "What if...what if his goal has nothing to do with the company but
with you?" he asked. He thought it was a great possibility.
Jenny had not considered that. She thought about it and said nonchalantly, "That's even less of an
issue. He can't beat me. I'd never lose."
Alec smiled bitterly. What if Alfred didn't mean to beat her but had another goal in mind?
He didn't say much, however. "You can make the decisions. You can call me if anything goes wrong."
Alfred was not doing much for now, so Alec couldn't attack him for no reason. Who knew what Alfred
would do if he was backed into a corner?
Alec's men would keep an eye on him. He would not be given a chance to hurt Jenny.
"Alec." Jenny suddenly called him.

"Do you remember what I said about your fear of the dark? That it's a psychological issue?” She didn't
want to tell him about his recent condition, instead mentioning his fear of the dark.
Alec nodded gravely. "What's up?"
"I have a friend who's an expert in this. If you have the time, I'd like to take you for a visit," she said
carefully, afraid of angering him.
To her surprise, Alec was not angered by her words. He smiled and said," That won't be necessary. I
already have a therapist."
Jenny was dazed. "A therapist?"
"Yeah. Vincent found one for me. He's famous in the country. I'm already receiving treatment," he said.
Alec wasn't angry about her bringing it up. In fact, he was a little happy. Deep down, she cared about
him, and that was a good thing.
