Chapter 102 No Thanks!

The next day, Jenny was woken up by Max’s phone call.

“What time is it? Why are you disturbing my sleep?” she answered, her tone gruff and unpleasant. It

surprised Max, but he quickly recovered. “Did you not sleep well last night?”

She had a hard time sleeping last night as the image of Alec’s face plagued her mind. As a result, she

didn’t sleep a wink for the first time.

“Is something wrong?” Jenny took a deep breath to steady her emotions.

“Aren’t you going to attend Mr. Faust’s birthday party today? That’s why I’m calling. I’m going to bring you

to a stylist this morning,” Max said. He felt a little hurt as Jenny was the first woman he had treated so

well. Unfortunately for him, Jenny didn’t care at all.

Jenny slapped her forehead. Barely keeping her anger in check, she replied, “If I remember correctly, the

birthday party will only begin at night. Why must I go to the stylist so early in the morning? Is your brain

still asleep?”

“Don’t girls usually spend all day at the stylist?” he asked.

“I don’t know how long it usually takes for others, but I’m quick,” Jenny answered. “Don’t worry about it.

I’ll take care of it myself.”

“In that case… Why don’t you grab breakfast now?”

Max was already in the lobby of Perry Residence, and he was rather unsatisfied that he couldn’t see her.

“No thanks!” With that, Jenny hung up the phone before falling back on her bed to sleep.

Downstairs, Max felt a little down as he stared at his phone. It was rare for him to offer his

companionship to a woman during her styling sessions. How could she reject him so mercilessly?

He wondered why he was wasting time on someone who wouldn’t appreciate his efforts. Wouldn’t it be

better if he agreed to Alec’s terms to cement his position in the Pearson family?

As soon as that thought entered his mind, he spotted Alec, and his expression fell. Even if he were at

death’s door, he would never ask Alec to help!

Spotting Max, Alec’s mood plummeted too.

“I never knew you were such a hardworking person,” he said.

“Well, when it comes to girls, surely I must work harder” Max answered, grinning.

“Unfortunately, not all things can be achieved through hard work alone,” Alec retorted.

In his opinion, even if Alec was not Jenny’s type, Max certainly wasn’t either.

Max responded with a smile, disregarding Alec’s sarcastic remark, saying, “In any case, Jenny is my

date for tonight while a certain someone will be alone.”

“That’s not right,” he added, shaking his head again. “I heard that Miss Dickman is interested in you.

Perhaps you two could get together.”

When Alec’s face darkened, Max grinned wider. “Hey heard that the Dickmans played a role in Jenny’s

kidnapping. I think she might hate them. Alec, if you join me to bring the Dickmans to bankruptcy, Jenny

might begin to admire you.”

The Dickmans had the same status as the Pearsons in Parrington. Both families were not on par with the

Fausts, but they had a good standing nonetheless. If Max managed to destroy the Dickmans and acquire

their assets, the Pearsons would ascend the food chain.

However, Alec merely looked at Max as if he were a fool, saying, “The Fausts and the Dickmans are

close friends. Why do you think I’ll ever agree?”

“So you won’t agree?” Max spread his hands, looking indifferent. “It’s alright. That’s fine. I’m not the one

that Jenny hates anyway. Given her character, I figure she won’t forgive the Dickmans any time soon.”

After musing in thought for a while, he continued, “I heard that Gilbert is Jenny’s eldest brother. Say, if I

propose to join forces with him to deal with the Dickmans, will Jenny agree?”
