Ch. 1081..1090
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1081-Standing Up After Gilbert left, Marigold remained there. There was a warm sensation on the back of her hand, and when she lowered her head to look, she realized that it was her own tears.
"Why are you crying? What's there to cry about?" she muttered to herself, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes and putting on a smile.
Aside from her child, there was nothing in the world that deserved her attention and energy. She lowered her head and caressed her stomach." My child, from now on, you will be my rock."
She was already looking forward to the birth of her child. Even if she encountered many criticisms in the future, she would not be shaken.
When Alec returned home from work, he was surprised to see Howard waiting for him at his door.
"Mr. Faust, Evan would like to see you."
Alec glanced at Evan's house and frowned. "Must I visit him just because he wants to see me? Who does he think he is?"
Howard didn't stop him from leaving. He merely said, "Evan said that if you want him to accept treatment, you must visit him."
Alec stopped in his tracks. What could Evan want from him? Could he have suddenly had a change of heart and wanted Dr. Gaarder to examine his injuries?
Alec wasn't sure, but he had to take the risk. "Great."
He followed Howard to Evan's place but didn't see anyone in the living room.
"Where is everyone?" He eyed Howard suspiciously, worried that Evan might have set a trap for him.
"He is in the study," Howard replied, leading Alec upstairs.
Although Alec was wary, he still followed him. He had to find out what Evan was up to. If he really wanted to attack him, he would have already done so.
Howard pushed open the door of the study and announced, "Mr. Faust is here."
"Alright, you can go out first," Evan said, waving Howard away.
Howard turned and left, closing the door behind him.
Alec looked at Evan, sitting in a wheelchair not far away. In an unfriendly tone, he asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Alec, aren't you curious why I refused to let Dr. Gaarder check my injuries? "
Evan flashed a smile that Alec couldn't decipher.
"At first, I was curious, but now I'm sure you're not injured. You're just pretending," Alec replied. Although he had no evidence, he was sure he was right.
He expected Evan to argue with him, but Evan nodded in agreement." You're right, I'm not injured."
Alec was shocked. Before he could react, Evan stood up from the wheelchair and sauntered toward him, looking completely fine.
After recovering from his shock, Alec's mood worsened with each passing moment. "Evan! You deceived Jenny!"
"Yes, and what about it? Do you have evidence?" Evan didn't deny it and looked at Alec, challenging him.
Alec couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed him and said, "I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup, and then I'll have the evidence."
Since Evan showed his true colors, Alec wouldn't hold back. He didn't need Dr.
Gaarder to check his injuries. He just needed a reliable doctor to do the checkup, and Evan's lie would be exposed.
Evan didn't resist. He allowed Alec to drag him out of the house, wearing a little smile that Alec didn't notice.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1082-Don't Even Dream About It To Alec's surprise, Evan began to resist as soon as they left the room, which was strange because he didn't try to resist him in the study.
"Alec, do you think I will go to the hospital with you? Don't even dream about it,"
Evan said with a cold sneer before lying down in the corridor.
Despite that, Alec was determined to drag him to the hospital. He wanted to see how Evan could spin another lie when Jenny was informed of his lack of injuries.
However, Evan refused to stand up, so Alec pulled him up and dragged him downstairs.
Since Evan couldn't beat him, he had to bring him to the hospital no matter what he said.
After struggling to drag the person to the stairs, when Alec was about to continue dragging him down, Evan suddenly laughed.
It stunned Alec, who was busy dragging him across the floor. Puzzled, he commented, "You really are something else. How can you manage to laugh in this situation?"
"Alec, did you know why I called you here?" Evan looked at him calmly, without any sign of panic.
Alec knew Evan had something up his sleeve, but he couldn't figure out what it was. Hence, he didn't dwell on it too long. "No matter what you're up to, you must go to the hospital with me today!’ he said and began to drag him downstairs.
After two steps down, Evan suddenly grabbed his hand, asking, "Alec, what would Jenny think of you if I fell from here?"
It caught Alec by surprise. Before he could recover, Evan attacked him without warning. Due to the pain, Alec instinctively released Evan, which sent the man falling down the stairs.
The truth was, Evan could have stood without Alec's help. However, he chose not to, planning to fall down the stairs.
Hearing the loud noise, Howard appeared before Alec. "Boss!" he cried out, eyes red with tears. He ran over to pick Evan up, ready to leave.
However, Alec stopped them. "No one is taking him away today."
Since things had already escalated to this point, even if he knew that Evan was plotting against him, he wouldn't yield. He had to bring Evan to the hospital for a full body checkup. There was no way he would let Howard take him away.
"Mr. Faust! Are you trying to secretly kill him while Miss Walter is not here?"
Howard asked.
With a stoic expression on his face, Alec replied, "If you don't want anything to happen to him, come with me!" He wouldn't let Howard take Evan away, as he wanted Evan to be sent to a hospital that he trusted. Who knew which hospital Howard would take him to?
"Don't cross the line!" Howard shouted in anger.
If Alec paid a little more attention, he would have realized that Howard was not in a hurry. Just as the two were at a standstill, Howard caught a glimpse of a figure at the door and suddenly raised his voice, "Mr. Faust, how could you do this to him? Just because his presence affects your relationship with Miss Walter doesn't mean you can push him down the stairs!"
Alec frowned, failing to understand Howard's sudden burst of anger. Just then, there was some movement at the door, and Jenny appeared, which cleared up Alec's confusion.
"What's going on?" Jenny asked as soon as she entered the house. Alec's back was facing her, and as she walked closer, she realized that Howard was carrying an unconscious Evan.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1083-All That Trouble Jenny hurried toward Howard and looked at the unconscious Evan.
Confused, she asked, "What happened to Evan?" "Alec pushed him from the top of the stairs!" Howard answered, looking at Alec directly.
Alec was exasperated but managed to speak before Jenny could say anything.
"I'm taking him to the hospital."
"No thanks! I don't trust you," Howard said, refusing his offer. Turning to Jenny, he asked, "Miss Walter, can you please take us to the hospital?"
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Jenny answered anxiously. Evan was already unconscious, yet they were busy arguing.
Jenny led Howard out of the villa, and Alec followed behind them. "Which hospital are you taking him to?"
"Bardoff Hospital, of course! It's the closest hospital." After all, Jenny worked there.
Alec frowned as realization struck him. "No! Let's go to another hospital."
"Are you trying to kill him?" Howard would not allow Alec to take Evan to another hospital. They had their people stationed at Bardoff Hospital. Hence, Evan had to be sent there, or their plan would fail.
Upset, Jenny rushed to open the car door. "Alec, don't waste our time!"
"Jenny…" Looking at Jenny, Alec wanted to tell her how Evan had orchestrated everything, but he knew it would be pointless-Jenny wouldn't believe him.
Jenny took Howard and Evan away, leaving Alec behind. He was angry but had no way of venting his frustration. "Evan! You really went through all that trouble just to do this!"
He had figured out that Evan had called him over to trick him, but he would not let him succeed. With that thought in mind, Alec left. He didn't forget that he still had Evan's man in his hands, and as long as he made him confess everything, Alec would have all the evidence he needed.
At the hospital, Evan was sent to the emergency room, where Jenny and Howard waited anxiously at the door.
"What's going on?" Finally, Jenny had time to ask for details. She believed that Alec wouldn't push Evan down the stairs. Surely, there was another reason.
With a solemn expression, Howard answered, "He told me he regretted not letting Dr. Gaarder examine his injuries. In fact, he wanted to make a speedy recovery, but because he had no confidence, he was afraid to hear something that would make him even more desperate and discouraged, so he refused Dr.
Gaarder's examination. However, he'd been thinking it through for the past few days and told me to bring Alec over. He wanted his help to make an appointment with Dr. Gaarder. I don't know what they were talking about in the study. When I saw them, Alec was dragging him out of the study. Then they argued in the corridor, and Alec pushed him down the stairs." He didn't elaborate further, as Jenny knew what happened after.
Jenny was in a low mood as she knew it was out of character for Alec to attack Evan.
As if afraid that Jenny wouldn't believe him, Howard continued, "Actually, he's pretty strong. If it weren't for his current condition, Alec might not have been able to take him down."
In other words, Evan couldn't defend himself from Alec because he had saved her. Jenny felt guilty. She had come to take care of Evan, but not only did she not take care of him well, she had also worsened his condition
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1084-He Planned Everything An hour later, the lights in the emergency room turned off, and a doctor walked out of the room.
"The patient's life is not in danger, but the condition of his lower limbs is more severe than before," the doctor announced solemnly.
Upon hearing that, Jenny felt uneasy. "Is there still a chance for recovery?" she asked.
Glancing at her, the doctor didn't give a clear answer. "It's hard to say. It's not very likely right now, but it's not impossible. Miracles can happen in this world."
Jenny didn't ask further, knowing the possibility of a miracle happening was slim.
Evan was transferred to a hospital ward and woke up shortly after. When he saw Jenny, he smiled at her. "I'm sorry, Jenny, for making you worry."
"Evan, I'm sorry," Jenny apologized, unable to meet his eyes. If it weren't for her, Evan would have been able to resist Alec. If it weren't for her, Alec wouldn't have deliberately made things difficult for him, and this wouldn't have happened.
Seeing her feeling so upset, Evan also felt uncomfortable. He wanted to reach out and touch Jenny's head, but he couldn't lift his hand due to the effects of the anesthesia. Although his injury was fake, he did sustain some injuries from falling down the stairs, just not as serious as they had thought.
"Jenny, it's not your fault. You don't have to apologize." Evan smiled and shook his head, not wanting Jenny to blame herself too much.
Evan had his worries before executing his plan. If Jenny found out the truth one day, how would she look at him? Would she hate him?
Thinking of that, he felt a little scared, but he wanted to have Jenny so badly that he continued with his plan despite his fears. Fortunately, he would be leaving this place soon.
Jenny stayed at the hospital all night to take care of Evan. It wasn't until dawn the next day that she returned to Evan's place to get some clean clothes for him.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Alec waiting at the door.
Jenny's feelings were complicated at this moment. She believed that Alec was not evil. Nonetheless, she couldn't forgive him for what he did to Evan. No matter his reasons, he shouldn't have pushed him down the stairs.
"Jenny." Seeing the disappointment in her eyes hurt him. He didn't fear nor care for Evan's schemes. All he was concerned about was Jenny.
Jenny stopped in her tracks and looked at the man in front of her, waiting for him to speak.
"I didn't push Evan. He fell down the stairs by himself," he explained. "You know what kind of person I am. I won't stoop to his level."
Jenny remained silent.
"He suddenly told Howard to call me over. Do you know what he said to me in the study room?" Alec finally understood why Evan had egged him on the room.
From the beginning, he was planning to frame him.
"He told me that he had planned everything, that he kidnapped you, and even his injuries were fake. He even stood up in front of me. How could I behave rationally in that situation?" Alec asked her, then continued, "The only thing I thought of at the time was to take him to the hospital for an examination. As long as we did a full-body examination, everything would be clear. He has people at Bardoff Hospital. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been diagnosed with such severe injuries. That's why I stopped you from sending him to Bardoff Hospital. I just hoped we could go to a different hospital for the examination."
Then, he fell silent, waiting for Jenny to speak
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1085-What Did He Give You?
"Alec, I know maybe you didn't mean to, but it doesn't change what happened.
You haven't even asked about Evan's condition once. Aren't you too heartless?’ Jenny asked, casting him a look heavy with disappointment.
Alec hesitated. Jenny's disappointed gaze delivered a blow to his heart.
"Jenny, since I know his injury is fake, why would I bother asking about his condition? Nothing will happen to him."
Jenny walked away and entered Evan's house. She didn't want to talk to Alec anymore; she just wanted to calm down.
"Jenny, I'm telling the truth. Evan's leg injury is fake. He can even stand up like normal," Alec said, trailing behind her. He had to convince Jenny to bring Evan to another hospital for an examination.
"Enough!" Jenny shouted. "I've seen the surveillance footage. You dragged Evan out of the room. Even if his injury is fake, must you pick on and bully him?"
Jenny considered it bullying. Having watched the surveillance footage in which Evan had been completely defenseless before Alec, she couldn't find any other word to describe it.
Looking into her eyes, Alec understood that he had lost to Evan. The man knew Jenny too well, and he had calculated his every move, leaving Alec completely defenseless to his schemes. But he wouldn't give up. He looked at Jenny with a firm gaze. "Jenny, I know you don't believe me now, but I won't give up so easily.
I will find evidence to show you that all of this is Evan's plan."
With that, he left.
Jenny watched his retreating figure, feeling uneasy in her heart. She wanted to believe him, but the facts were right before her. What else could she believe?
Jenny went back to her room and slept for a while. After taking a shower, she returned to the hospital to take care of Evan.
As he had promised, Alec didn't give up. After taking over the Faust family, his power grew, and investigating things became more convenient.
He went to visit the person who kidnapped Jenny in the dungeon. It was his first time interrogating him since taking over from Blake.
"What did Evan give you that you would risk your life for him?" The man had been looking down, but when he heard Evan's name, he suddenly raised his head to look at Alec.
The man sneered, "Evan? I don't know who that is.' "It seems that Evan must have done a good job. He treats you well, doesn't he?"
Alec completely disregarded his reply, steering the conversation in his desired direction.
When the man remained silent, Alec continued, "But do you really think he's good to you? If I were to release the information I have about you, what do you think Evan would do?"
Alec grinned at him. Still, the man remained silent.
Alec didn't bother to continue talking to him as he knew a stubborn person like that man had to be hit by reality on his own terms.
"Wait and see. I'm sure Evan will send someone soon. Whether they come to save you or to kill you will depend on your luck."
With that, he left.
After leaving the dungeon, Alec didn't idle around. He sent someone to find the doctor who attended to Evan. The medical record had to be fake- Evan must have bribed that doctor.
What Alec needed to do now was to find evidence of the bribery.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1086-Get Rid of Him Unexpectedly, despite Alec's thorough investigation of the doctor's background, he found nothing. Did the doctor help Evan for free? No way.
Alec frowned as his temples throbbed. "Continue to investigate. Since his finances are fine, then investigate the people around him. I don't believe he didn't take a penny from Evan."
"Okay," Vincent responded. He could tell that Alec was irritated.
He placed the lunch on Alec's desk, cautiously saying, "Have a meal first, sir.
You will have stomach pains if you don't eat on time."
Alec waved his hand, disinterested.
"Mr. Faust, even if you don't care about yourself, you should think about Miss Walter. You promised her to take good care of yourself," Vincent said, having no choice but to mention Jenny.
Indeed, when Alec heard Jenny's name, he perked up slightly. However, as soon as he remembered what had happened yesterday, his mood turned sour again. "She doesn't have time to care about me. I'm afraid she is busy taking care of Evan,’ he grumbled.
"That's because Miss Walter was deceived. As long as you take good care of yourself and investigate the truth clearly, she will naturally come back." Vincent knew the whole story and had complete faith in their president. However, he also knew that from Jenny's perspective, Alec's attitude toward Evan could lead her to believe that Alec had done something terrible.
Therefore, it was useless to say anything unless they found evidence.
Perhaps because he agreed with Vincent's reasoning, Alec finally picked up the food.
"Go do your job."
Seeing Alec ready to eat, Vincent breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his words were only effective when they involved Jenny.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, when Jenny had gone out to buy food for Evan, Howard walked into the man's ward and whispered, "Boss, we found the missing man."
"Where is he?" Evan's eyes wavered.
"In Alec's hands, and he's still being held captive," Howard replied.
That was not good news for Evan. "Find a way to get rid of him," he said.
"Boss, what do you mean?" Howard could hardly believe it.
"Although he might not betray us, who knows what he has told Alec?
Therefore, we cannot keep him alive." Evan was ruthless and merciless. He would not take the risk even if the man had yet to reveal anything. He would not let his underlings, who knew everything, appear in front of Jenny. Even if Jenny did not believe them immediately, she would become suspicious.
Howard’s face became solemn as he disagreed with the decision. After all, he considered his comrades his brothers. Since he was still alive, they should save him. However, he was powerless to change Evan's decision.
At that moment, Jenny entered the hospital room and noticed the ugly expressions on their faces. She asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?” Evan looked at Howard, who understood the message conveyed by his gaze.
"Miss Walter, his condition is getting worse. I think we should find a renowned doctor to examine him. He can't go on like this for the rest of his life," Howard said.
Jenny agreed with it and nodded. "Yes, Evan, you should have thought of this earlier."
If Evan had accepted the examination when Alec brought Dr. Gaarder before, they wouldn't be in their current situation. Alas, Dr. Gaarder had left the country, and finding a doctor at his level would be difficult.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1087-1 Don't Want You to Be Unhappy "I’ve been investigating Dr. Gaarder's whereabouts these past few days, and I've found out where he is now,’’ Howard suddenly said.
The news caused Jenny's eyes to light up. "Have you really found him?" She couldn't believe it and looked at Howard in disbelief.
"Yes, he's abroad and has no plan on coming here again," Howard said. After all, he had just left the country, so it was understandable that he didn't want to return.
Jenny thought the same way and said, "Have you contacted him? Is he willing to treat Evan?’ Dr. Gaarder was internationally renowned and had previously been rejected by Evan, so it was likely that he would reject them this time.
"Dr. Gaarder is willing to do it, but on the condition that we go to his hospital abroad for treatment/ Howard said.
Jenny thought it made sense and said, "Then let's go. We cant miss an opportunity like this."
"Jenny, will you come with me?" Evan asked nervously.
After a brief moment, Jenny answered, "Of course, I promised to take care of you, didn't I?"
Besides, she wanted Evan to accept the treatment.
"Dr. Gaarder has seen my medical records and said that even if I go for treatment, I won't recover in a short time, which means we'll have to stay abroad for a long time. Are you willing to?" Evan was very nervous.
If it was a short period, he wouldn't worry so much, but for a long time, no one could say for sure how long it would take.
When Jenny heard that Evan didn't know how long they would have to stay, her expression shifted. She had grown up here, and her career and family were also here; hence, she was afraid of the prospect of going abroad indefinitely.
The light in Evan's eyes dimmed a little. ’It's okay, Jenny. If you don't want to go, we won't go. Actually, I think it's fine the way things are now.’ "But this is your only chance!" Howard exclaimed, upset.
"That's enough!" Evan interrupted him. ’I can't be so selfish. This is Jenny's home, so how can I force her to leave with me?"
Howard pouted, very unhappy.
"Evan, why don't you get treatment over there? I will visit you whenever I have time. What about that?" Jenny suggested.
Evan, however, smiled bitterly. "Jenny, I'll be honest with you. After the accident, I've always felt that life is meaningless. I might have died long ago if it weren't for you."
"Evan…" Jenny looked at him in shock.
"It's okay, Jenny. As long as you're by my side, even if I have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of our lives, I'm willing to do it." Evan only had one goal in mind, and that was to make Jenny stay by his side.
Jenny sighed. Instead of answering, she said, "Let me think about it."
"Jenny, don't force yourself. I don't want you to be unhappy," Evan said as she left.
She walked out of the ward and took a deep breath. She felt an immense amount of pressure on her shoulders.
Howard followed her outside.
"Miss Walter, I know I have no right to ask anything of you, but…ever since the accident, he has been really down. If it continues like this, I'm afraid he won't last much longer. So, I'm begging you to go with us. Maybe we can cure him quickly, and then you won't have to worry anymore. What do you think?"
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1088-More Evidence Jenny didn't return to Evan's house when she left the hospital. Instead, she went to Walker Inc to look for Stephanie.
Now, Stephanie was the general manager of Walker Inc, and although the Walkers were not yet well-known in Bardoff City, they were moving up in ranks each day.
Looking at Stephanie, all dressed up and proper in her blazer, she exuded the air of a successful woman.
"Stephanie, you are really amazing." Never had Jenny expected that there would be a day that Stephanie would become like this.
Fate was unpredictable in many ways.
For instance, Jenny became a daughter of the Walter family, and after finally handing the reins of the company to a reliable management team, she thought she could be free from then on. However, at that moment, she felt that she had lost her freedom completely.
She couldn't just ignore everything. Evan was her savior, so she couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
"Jenny, you don't seem to be in a good mood." Stephanie poured her a cup of coffee and sat down beside her.
Jenny sighed. She came to find Stephanie just to voice her frustration. She told Stephanie everything that had happened recently and asked, "Should I go?"
"Well, I don't think you should. I wouldn't support that," Stephanie said."
Although Evan saved you, it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your life for him.
If you like him, then it's different. You have been taking care of him, but if you still follow him abroad, your relationship with Alec will be over." Jenny was aware of that.
Stephanie held Jenny's hand and said, "Jenny, I know you feel guilty, but there's a limit to things we can promise others. You should think about yourself. Don't only think about others."
Stephanie's words made sense to Jenny, but she couldn't bring herself to not do anything about Evan.
"But if I don't go, Evan won't go, and he will be ruined for life." Although there was no guarantee that Dr. Gaarder could cure Evan, at least there was a chance. But if she didn't go, there would be no chance at all.
"That's his choice. If he chooses to do that, the consequences are his responsibility, not yours." Stephanie didn't like the way Evan pressured Jenny to go.
Jenny still couldn't decide, and upon realizing that, Stephanie suggested,"
C'mon, let's go somewhere else. I'll treat you to dinner.’ "Okay." Jenny nodded in agreement, realizing that thinking like that would not lead to a solution.
With that, the two of them walked out of Walker Inc.
Meanwhile, Alec was drinking in a private room at a bar, with Paul sitting opposite him. Both of them were not in a good mood.
"The doctor you asked me to investigate, this is what I found about him,’ Paul said, throwing a stack of information at Alec.
Alec was surprised to hear that. When he asked Paul to try and find some clues, he hadn't been expecting any results.
As he paged through the information, Paul added, "The transaction was performed very cautiously through the black market; that's why you couldn't find it." Only people involved in the black market like him could find it.
"Thank you." After reading the information, Alec thanked him sincerely.
Paul nonchalantly nodded at him and downed a glass of wine. "Even if you have this, Jenny may not believe you."
"I know, of course, there has to be more evidence than this."
Something was about to happen that night, and the confession of Evan's man was the evidence he needed the most. However, that man needed to be hit by a dose of reality before he would open his mouth.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1089-Goodbye Alec and Paul didn't drink for long and soon left the bar. Alec went back early and waited for news. He had already sent out the message, and Evan would definitely take action. With such a huge bargaining chip in Alec's hands, Evan wouldn't sit still.
Night fell, and Trey Ulmer crouched in a corner. It was pitch black all around, and he was filled with despair. It had been a long time since he was caught, and he could no longer distinguish between day and night.
Even so, he still clenched his teeth and refused to expose Evan-he believed in his boss. He was confident that he would come to save him. It was this trust that kept him going until now. Otherwise, when he was being tortured by Blake before, he would have collapsed long ago.
Footsteps echoed in the darkness, and Trey immediately became alert." Alec!
What are you doing here? I told you, I won't say anything.' Even though he had not seen the person yet, Trey guessed it was Alec. After all, this was the man's territory, and he was eager to get his confession.
However, the person merely walked closer until he reached the cell. Under the moonlight, Trey saw a person clad in black with a mask and a hat, and he couldn't tell who it was.
"Who are you?' Trey asked directly, feeling uneasy.
Maybe he was afraid that Trey would cause too much commotion. The person said, "Don't make a sound. I'm here to save you."
"Howard!" Although the person didn't reveal his identity, Trey recognized his voice immediately. His eyes filled with tears in an instant. Evan had sent someone to save him! His days of suffering were finally over.
Howard could see the hope in Trey's eyes, which made him unable to look directly at him. He took out his lock-picking tools from his bag and quickly opened the cell door.
"Trey, you've suffered a lot."
"As long as Boss is fine, I'm willing to endure any hardship," Trey said, elated.
He hadn't been abandoned, which meant a lot to him.
Conflicted, Howard looked at him. "Go quickly, don't let anyone find you."
Trey nodded and walked ahead. He didn't want to stay there for a moment longer.
However, before he could leave the place, he noticed Howard picking up his gun through the shadow on the ground. Instinctively, he dodged to the side.
With a loud bang, a bullet was fired at him, but it didn't hit him.
"Howard! You…’ Trey was shocked. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have died.
Howard looked guilty as he approached Trey slowly, who was hiding in the corner. "Trey, I have no choice. The boss won't let you live, and I can't keep you."
"Why? I didn't say anything!" Trey didn't understand. He would understand if he said something he shouldn't have and the boss wanted to kill him, but he hadn't said anything. Wasn't it too heartless to hurt him like this?
Howard smiled bitterly. "It doesn't matter whether you said anything. It was already decided the moment you were caught."
Trey understood, and he smiled too. So that was the true nature of his trustworthy boss. He trusted him, but the other person didn't trust him at all.
"Goodbye, Trey. From now on, I will pray for you at this time every year,"
Howard sighed, approaching Trey.
Cornered, he had no chance to escape. Trey didn't want to escape either. His hopes were destroyed, and he couldn't accept it. He thought it might be better to just die.
While he wanted to die, Alec didn't. At the moment when Howard was about to shoot, Alec fired first, and the bullet hit Howard's shoulder, causing the gun in his hand to fall to the ground
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1090-sure if he hit him or not.
All he knew was that he had to leave. If he fell into Alec's hands, everything would be over, so he fled.
Alec didn't go after him, as Howard was not his target, to begin with. With a click, the dungeon lights were turned on, and Alec saw Trey hiding in the comer.
He had been shot in the thigh, but it wasn’t a big deal.
He walked over to him. "So, do you still believe that your boss will come to save you?"
Trey remained silent. He was still processing a mental breakdown and had no mood for conversation.
Nonetheless, Alec didn't have anytime to waste. "Even now, you still won't confess?"
"I told you not to waste your time. I won't say anything." Although Trey had lost all hope for Evan, he still had his principles.
Alec frowned—he didn't expect him to be so stubborn. It was annoying that he still refused to speak even at this point.
He tried to control his temper and explained the deception that Evan had played on Jenny and him. "You also have a wife and daughter," he finally said. "Have you ever thought about what you would do if they were deceived like this?"
Since being tough didn't work, Alec had to try a softer approach. It turned out that Trey was someone swayed by kind words. After hearing Alec explain the whole thing, he laughed and said, "No wonder he did such a senseless thing at that time, so that's why."
At that time, he and his colleagues didn't understand Evan's behavior. Although they didn't question him, they found his actions strange.
Unfortunately, Evan never explained it to them. Finally, he found out the true reason from Alec.
He found it very funny.
Seeing that Trey was moved, Alec continued to explain, "I did it to save the person I love, do you understand?"
Perhaps it was the emotions Alec displayed, or perhaps Trey was no longer as stubborn as before, as he confessed to everything. Alec made sure to record it so he wasn't afraid of Trey retracting his statement. However, he still wanted Jenny to hear it with her own ears.
"Trey, I'll bring her here later. Can you tell her what you just told me again?" Alec asked him sincerely.
After a stunned silence, Trey nodded. "Okay."
Before Alec left the dungeon, he sent someone to bring Trey out of there and treat his gunshot wound. Then, he went to find Jenny, feeling very excited that everything was about to come to light.
He had a witness from Evan's side, as well as the records of the doctor from Bardoff Hospital who had taken the money. This time, he didn't believe that Jenny would disregard his claims.
To his surprise, by the time he found Jenny, she and Stephanie had already gotten drunk to the point where they were having trouble even walking, let alone listening to Trey's words.
"You came just in time. Take Jenny back," Stephanie said, a bit surprised to see him but still trusting Alec.
Taking Jenny from Stephanie's hands, Alec was about to leave, but Stephanie added, "You probably don't know yet, but Evan wants Jenny to go abroad with him. If you don't want to lose her, you should think of a solution quickly. From what I can tell, Jenny will probably agree to his request."
Jenny felt strongly responsible for Evan and couldn't bear to see him spend his whole life in a wheelchair because of her. Hence, even if it meant sacrificing her happiness, she was willing to do it for him.
