Chapter 178 Ignore Them

The next day, Alec arrived at the Perry Residence, only to find that Jenny had boarded the earliest flight

to Claymond City. He called Vincent to get the location of Jenny’s program. In the end, he reminded

Vincent, “Send me all her latest updates in the future.”

He refused to be put in a passive position anymore. After the call, he drove to the Faust Group office.

During the trip, he made another call to Max, saying, “There’s an arranged marriage between the

Dickmans and the Blooms. I’m afraid you can’t acquire Dickman LLC with Gilbert anymore.”

“So? What’s your reason for calling?” It was rare for Max not to take jabs at Alec. Not only that, he

sounded exhausted.

Alec passed by the building of Dickman LLC during the call. He slowed down and glanced at it. Then, he

muttered, “I like Dickman LLC’s building.”

“Huh?” Max thought he had misheard Alec.

“I’ll join forces with you to stop the Blooms from helping the Dickmans,” Alec suggested.

Max instantly sat up straight and asked sternly, “Are you serious? Why?”

“No reason. I guess I never liked the Dickmans,” Alec answered, his eyes gleaming with malice when he

recalled the Dickmans’ actions.

Max chuckled. “I bet you’re avenging Jenny because Yvonne Dickman framed her.”

Alec was silent, but Max didn’t expect an answer, for he already knew the truth.

“Alright. I’ll discuss it with Gilbert.” Max hung up and stared at the pile of files in front of him as a

headache crept in. The Dickmans really caused him a lot of trouble lately.

At noon, the Dickmans and the Blooms issued a joint statement to clarify that the marriage to Alec Faust

was a rumor. They also announced Yvonne’s upcoming nuptials with Sam.

The news struck the public like lightning, especially those who had been following the developments of

Alec and Yvonne’s marriage. Everyone was prepared for the wedding, but things took a turn. That

stirred. up a lot of controversies online, but netizens were mostly gossiping about Alec and suspecting

him of canceling the marriage with Yvonne. As a result, the stock price of Faust Group experienced a

slight drop.

Back at the office, Vincent informed Alec of the online chatter and waited for instructions.

“Ignore them,” Alec replied and added, “Publicize our donations this year.”

“Yes, sir.” Vincent was surprised at the directive because Faust Group had always been lowkey about its

charitable contributions. Alec’s decision to announce came as a shock.

He was about to leave when Alec asked him, “Where is she?”

“She’s at Clearwater Village in the Elmwood District,” Vincent answered and submitted a file with

information about the village. “It’s an underdeveloped area with limited internet connection. You might not

reach her for a while.”

Alec frowned after skimming through the information about the village. He wondered how Jenny could

survive living in such poor conditions. Soon, he put away the file and said, “Get the car-ready. We’ll leave

in the afternoon.”

“Mr. Faust, you have an appointment with a client in the afternoon. There are a lot of things happening at

Faust Group lately,” Vincent reminded him of his responsibility as the company CEO. Traveling far to a

remote village without advance notice would only hurt his work at the company. Moreover, he was

concerned about Alec’s safety in a small village like Clearwater. Even though Clearwater had electricity,

there were no street lights, which would be a nightmare for Alec if he were to leave for home at night.

Alec thought it over and sighed defeatedly. “Let’s settle the work at the company for now. Keep a tab on

her life over there. Let me know right away if anything happens.”

“Got it.” Vincent heaved a sigh of relief.
