Chapter 851 What Reason Do I Have to Refuse?
Jenny wanted to turn him down, but she was a bit hesitant. After all, she didn't exactly
have any conflicts with Luke. It seemed rather unreasonable for her to refuse him
outrightly. She thought she shouldn't let Alec affect her that much.
As she thought about it, Luke continued, "Jenny, Walter Inc and Faust Group haven't tried
collaborating over the years. I happen to have a good project in hand now. Why don't you
consider it?"
"Since you put it that way, what reason do I have to refuse you?" Jenny agreed with a
polite smile. It was also at that moment she realized the reason why she didn't like Luke.
Luke was the kind of person who would not give up until he achieved his goal, and to do
that, he wouldn't bat an eye when resorting to unscrupulous means. That was why Jenny
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinstinctively disliked him.
However, as Luke had mentioned, both families had never worked together before. If he
really had a good project in hand, Jenny wouldn't mind having a meal with him. After all, it
was just a meal. Why would she need to be apprehensive about such a simple occasion?
Luke wouldn't dare to try anything with her, given her status.
Jenny didn't refuse and got into Luke's car, but to be on the safe side, she sent a message
to Alfred, asking him to come and save her if she didn’t contact him for an extended time.
Right now, Alfred was the only person she could rely on. He was part of her own company
and someone she could trust. Jenny’s thoughts then drifted to Alec and Evan.
Thinking of them gave her a headache, so she thought it was better not to inform them.
Though Jenny didn't want the two of them to know she was having a meal with Luke, it
was futile because they were both well- informed. As soon as Jenny got into Luke's car,
they were informed about it simultaneously.
Receiving the message, both of them had unpleasant expressions on their faces. They
knew what Luke's intentions were. Therefore, they didn't want Jenny to get into contact
with Luke unnecessarily. But since Jenny got into his car, Luke must have said something
Jenny couldn't refuse. It made them worry.
As a result, not long after Jenny and Luke arrived at the restaurant, Alec and Evan also
arrived one after another. They didn't go in to disrupt; they just waited at the door, mainly
to ensure Jenny's safety.
In the car, Evan was feeling irritated. Dealing with Alec was already difficult enough, and
now he had to deal with Luke, another competitor. All of them had ill intentions toward
Jenny. If they were abroad, he would have made those people disappear long ago. But
now, they were in the country, making it inconvenient for Evan to deal with them. Not only
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat, he was afraid Jenny would notice something was off.
When he was lost in thought, someone knocked on the car window. Evan lowered his car
window, and upon seeing that it was Alec standing outside, his expression instantly
became strained.
"What are you doing here?' Evan asked with a gloomy expression.
Alec, on the other hand, remained calm. He smiled as he said, "I'm here to do whatever
you're here to do."
"Don't you think Jenny has too many pursuers?" Alec didn't care about Evan's unamused
expression and continued speaking, his gaze directed toward the restaurant where Jenny
and Luke were located, though they couldn't be seen.
Evan lit a cigarette and glanced at Alec. "Yes, indeed. Every fool under the sun wants her,
not having an inch of self-awareness."
As he spoke, he looked at Alec pointedly, with an implied meaning that he, too, was
included in the "every fool under the sun" category.
