To Be Yours Again by Taylor

Chapter 577

Chapter 577 Stay the Hell Away

Outside the mansion, Mortimer quietly followed behind Alec, dispirited.

"Are you happy now?" he asked, no longer having the energy to be angry. There was no point. Alec wouldn't be

affected either way.

Alec stopped and looked back at him. "You're blaming me for seeing through your crimes? Even wild beasts look

after their young. What does that make you?"

Mortimer's expression stiffened momentarily. n.ovelxo "I never intended for anything to happen to you. I only

wanted to set a safe path for your brother's future.'

"Brother? I don't have a brother," Alec sneered. He was his mother's only son. She never had any more children

after.

"Deny it all you want, Alfred is your brother." Mortimer insisted, ignoring his son's denial.

Alec's face grew shadowed with killing intent. "If I were you, I'd make sure both you and your son stay the hell away

from this family. Do you really think I won't lay my hands on the both of you? Think I'm that kind?"

"You-"

"I'm warning you now. Once things are settled on my end,n.ovelxo I'll make sure both of you beg for my mercy. Just

you wait," Alec hissed, then stormed away from the mansion.

Mortimer angrily gnashed his teeth. This brat really wouldn't give him rest. He was just as mean as his grandfather.

Since Mortimer couldn't stay there any longer, he started plotting his next move. He wasn't about to give up that

easily. Alfred was also Faust—why couldn't he have a share in the family too?

With that thought in mind, he went looking for Alfred to plan what to do next.

Oblivious to this, Alec went back to the office to continue working. Halfway through, Paul gave him a call, inviting

him out for a drink.

Alec refused the invitation. n.ovelxo Tomorrow was the day Jenny would execute her rescue plan, which success

was surer now that Graham was here to help her. That was why Alec would rather Paul spend as much time as

possible with Stephanie. Who knew when he would be able to spend time with her again?

In the evening, Alec went to Jenny's as usual to make dinner. Graham remained displeased with him but was still a

big fan of his cooking.

While Jenny was helping Alec wash the ingredients, he asked, "Have you called Stephanie recently?"

"No." Jenny shook her head. She needed to be careful now more than ever. "I don't want to risk Paul getting

suspicious."

"Do you want to give her a call? She might not want to go to Bardoff City, /know," Alec asked lightly, paying

attention to Jenny's response.

Sure enough, her eyebrows furrowed instantly. "What do you mean?"

"Paul called me earlier today. It sounds like he's made some progress with Stephanie. They've been getting along

better lately." n.ovelxo Alec secretly guessed that Stephanie had developed some feelings for Paul too.

Jenny stayed silent for a good while before she said, "I know what you're saying, but it's not Paul that we disapprove

of.Jt's how he does things.

Think of this rescue as a test set for him. It'll make him understand what you do when you really love someone—not

force them to be beside you 24/ 7. That's not what love does."
