Chapter 60 What Exactly Do You Want?

Faye clearly understood his reasons, but she wanted to bring up the topic of the fines anyway. However,

he shut her down by saying, “Thankfully, he only got slapped with a fine. As long as he returns the

amount he owes and gets his financial house in order, he won’t go to jail.”

She bit her lips and mumbled slowly, “But the fines are hefty. My dad… can’t pay the fines.”

He frowned at her admission and shot her a glance. “It’s just a few hundred million. How could Lawrence

Solutions not afford that?”

“My dad…”

“Faye, you’re an adult. Have a mind of your own, and don’t listen to everything your dad claims,” he cut

her off in displeasure, which gave her the jitters. That was the first time he had spoken to her harshly in

years.

“I got it, Alec. I’ll keep out of this and leave it to my dad.” She knew that the more she asked for Alec’s

help, the more he would dislike her. To her, Alec was more important than her parents or Lawrence

Solutions.

However, she was reminded of the conversation she overheard at the door, which revealed that Dr.

Walter was Alec’s ex-wife.

Before this, she had only regarded his ex-wife as a country girl. Although she had never met Jenny, her

existence did not bother her much. Now that she learned that Jenny was a doctor, on top of Alec’s

feelings for Dr. Walter, she was worried that sparks might fly between the two. She dared not picture the

scenario where they remarry.

“No way! I have to do something about it,” she thought. Then, she beamed at him and said, “Alec, let’s

have lunch! It’s been a while.”

Alec was in no mood to have lunch with her and waved her off. “I’m busy today. Let’s do it another day.”

The rejection stung. In the past, he had rarely turned down her invitation. But now…

“Dr. Walter or Jenny Walter, no matter who you are, I will not let you take Alec from me,” she thought

defiantly.

The next day, Jenny was at The Crispy Buns at noon for lunch. The burgers here had been on her mind

ever since Alec ordered delivery from this joint. When the weekend came around, she invited Stephanie

to try it out.

She checked the time again. Half an hour had passed, but Stephanie was nowhere to be seen, and she

started worrying.

Ten minutes later, she got a call from Stephanie. “Jenny, I’m so sorry. Something came up at work, and I

don’t think I could make it to lunch.” While speaking, Stephanie glared at the man seated across from

her.

Jenny almost exploded in anger. “What’s more important than lunch? I even ordered the food for you.”

She stared at the spread on the table, failing to control her anger.

“I’m really sorry, Jenny. I can’t make it,” Stephanie apologized again.

Jenny was deflated, but she could tell that Stephanie felt bad about it. She replied, “Alright. Next time, tell

me earlier if you’re not coming.”

Then, Stephanie hung up and bellowed at the man in front of her, “What exactly do you want?”

At the burger place, Jenny was thinking hard about how to deal with the table of food. “Should I finish.

them or pack the extra food for dinner tonight?”

While she was mulling it over, someone came and sat across from her. Her face fell when she

recognized the man.

“Mr. Faust, it’s rather rude to take a seat without asking for my permission. Don’t you think so?”
