Chapter 70 That’s Right-I Did It
On their way back to the city, Max squinted at Jenny and whispered, “Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine,” she answered. After a slight pause, she emerged from her daze and added, “Thanks.”
He shook his head, smiling. “You don’t have to thank me. I did nothing.”
“I’m glad that you came to save me. That itself speaks volumes.” She didn’t mind the fact that he hadn’t done anything to help. It was decided-she owed Max a favor.
As for Alec… Her expression changed at the thought of him. Since Faye was his woman, her actions implicated him too.
*Should I send you back to Perry Residence?” Max could tell she was in a bad mood, but he refrained from asking questions. After all, he was happy enough to see Alec upset. He could figure out the reason behind the grudge later.
Jenny nodded without another word. She was thinking of revenge.
At the Lawrence Residence, Faye sat on her bed with a pale face. She panicked after she was exposed but soon forced herself to calm down.
So what if Dr. Walter found out about my involvement?” Faye thought. Jenny didn’t have concrete evidence, and the phone card was not registered under anyone’s name. The ATM card which Faye used for the transfer was untraceable abroad. Even if Jenny complained to Alec, no one would believe her. Faye’s fear dissipated after she rationalized the situation. She stood up and left her room to meet with Alec, as she could not sit back and do nothing. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
In the living room, she saw someone walking in from the entrance. It was Alec.
“Alec, why are you here?” She smiled and went up to him, but her expression froze when she saw the grave look on his face. He scrutinized the woman with an icy glare as though she was a stranger.
He recalled the time when Anthony entrusted a young Faye to his care. Faye was around twelve years old and loved following him around and calling his name. She looked so innocent back then, but she was a totally different person now upon closer inspection.
She faltered under his gaze. Riddled with anxiety, she said, “Alec, you…”
“Why?” he asked coldly.
“Why what?” She feigned ignorance even though she sensed that his question had something to do with Jenny’s abduction. Still, she refused to believe it.
He seemed even more disappointed when Faye played innocent. “Why did you harm Dr. Walter?”
She knew that Jenny was Dr. Walter after eavesdropping on the conversation between Alec and Vincent. The color drained from her face. “Alec, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I never left my room the entire day. Did someone gossip about me in front of you? You have to trust me! I’m not what they made me out to be,” she explained to him, confident that Jenny had no evidence. She thought no one could hold her accountable as long as she adamantly denied her involvement.
Alec was totally crushed. “You’re not what they made you out to be? Perhaps, I’ve never truly known you.”
“Alec…” Worry seized her, and she went up to grab his wrist, but he flinched.
“When you took the call just now, I was there with Dr. Walter,” he muttered to Faye, whose legs turned
jelly.
“He heard me…” she thought. Others might not recognize her from her voice, but Alec could.
Her mind was buzzing. She attempted to find an excuse for herself, but the cold look in his eyes proved
that he knew everything. Any explanation would be futile.
“That’s right-I did it.” A long pause later, she admitted with a bitter smile.
