Chapter 56 She Likes Pearsons
Max dropped Jenny off in front of Perry Residence. Jokingly, he asked, “Aren’t you going to let me in?”
“Probably not,” she refused. “It’s late. You should get some rest, Mr. Pearson.”
“Max,” he reminded her.
“Max.” She didn’t argue. She didn’t care what she called him. It didn’t matter, anyway.
Max nodded in satisfaction and opened his door. “Go home, then. You should rest, too.”
Jenny got out quickly and walked into the condominium, disappearing from his sight.
Max was in no hurry to leave, leaning against his car and lighting a cigarette. He raised his wrist to look
at the time and smirked. “He’s probably coming soon.”
Right as he said that, a car sped over. It was the same black car that he had seen before.
His smirk grew wider. “He’s fast.”

done?”
“What do you mean, Mr. Faust? I don’t understand,” Max said. He looked extremely punchable to Alec.
“Is that so?” Alec smiled. “It seems that the Pearsons have no more desire to live.”
Max’s expression darkened. He was no longer smiling. “Are you waging war?”
“Isn’t this what you want?” Alec asked.
“Yeah.” Max nodded, unusually grim.
All these years, Alec had never treated him like someone significant. He aggravated him plenty of times,
but Alec simply thought of him as a joke.
Now, he could finally see him eye to eye.
He was satisfied with this. He smoked the rest of his cigarette. “I’ll be waiting.”
He opened his car door and prepared to leave, but then he said teasingly, “Oh yeah. Jenny said she
wasn’t interested in you. You shouldn’t go knocking on her door, Mr. Faust.”
Jenny? How personal.
Alec’s face couldn’t be darker. He gritted his teeth. “Is she interested in you, then?”
“Of course. I think Jenny might have some feelings for me.” Max nodded, smiling. Then, he drove off,
leaving Alec in the dust.
There was a ball of fire in Alec’s chest. He was ignited by Max’s words.
He turned and walked into the condominium. In a few minutes, he was at Jenny’s door, knocking.
The door opened quickly. Jenny had just taken a bath and was wearing her pajamas. When she saw
Alec, she was a little dazed. “It’s you.”
“Who else would it be? Pearson?” Alec asked.
Jenny was annoyed. She was about to close the door. “You can talk to me in the morning. I’m going to
sleep.”

But before the door could close, a hand prevented it from doing so, and Alec stepped into the living
room.
Jenny looked at him, a little angry. “Alec, you’re trespassing. Get out!”
But Alec did not move.
“You…” Jenny was about to scold him, but Alec suddenly walked toward her. She stepped back on
instinct. but was quickly pinned against the wall.
“What… what are you doing?” she stammered. She had never seen Alec like this before. He was scaring
her.
“I warned you to stay away from Max. Why didn’t you listen?” he roared. There seemed to be fire in his
eyes.
Jenny was angered. She said, “Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?”
Great. Alec was storming mad now.
“You don’t like Fausts. Do you like Pearsons, then?” He was almost pressed up against Jenny,
suppressing his anger.
