Semua Bab To Be Yours Again: Bab 351 - Bab 360

Alec's car reached Jenny less than ten minutes after Morgan left."Weren't you in a meeting with your clients? Why pick me up?" Jenny asked as she got into the car. Her movements were stiff due to her injury, but she still tried to mask it in front of Alec.Alec started his car. "The meeting finished early. I had Vincent handle the drinking for me.""Vincent's pretty occupied," Jenny murmured. Alec often left his personal matters to his assistant, so with the addition of business meetings and handling clients, Vincent might really be overwhelmed with tasks often.Alec huffed. "He isn't paid millions a year for no reason.""Millions?" Jenny gaped. "That's such a huge amount!" She wasn't even paid that much for her post as deputy director at the hospital! No wonder Vincent was so busy. "Are you jealous?" Alec teased, to which Jenny eagerly nodded. "Who wouldn't be?" She wasn't poor. In fact, she had several other streams of income aside from being a doctor. But millions of dol

Jenny giggled. "What if I don't cook well?""Then you'll wash the dishes after I cook." Alec played along as he brought their food out from the dining hall. Jenny gave it some thought. "That can work. I can get a dishwashing machine.""Come. Eat." Alec urged, leaving the topic alone. It didn't matter to him whether Jenny cooked for them or washed the dishes. They could just hire someone to handle the food anyway. Well, he didn't mind cooking for her, either. He was just busy with work often.They ate their meals while sharing a conversation, no different from a normal couple."I'll have someone come over to cook for you for the week. Get some rest," Alec said while eating.Jenny declined. "Don't. I can take care of myself." She didn't like sharing her home with outsiders. If she couldn't cook, takeout would suffice."Then I'll send my best chef over." The one from his family home. He didn't have a personal chef yet. Jenny was about to refuse again when Alec added, "If you refus

The living room fell silent almost instantly. Simone sneered; she hadn't expected anything less."I'm also a Bloom. Why don't I have the rights you have?" she questioned."What exactly is your plan, Simone? Where did you get this absurd idea from?" Elias barked coldly. He no longer recognized this daughter of his. Things felt like they were spiraling out of his control.Simone wasn't upset at her father's attitude at all. "Back then, I didn't think I had what it takes. But now…" With a bright smile on her face, she turned to look at Yvonne. "I'm afraid this family might change their name to Dickman soon."Yvonne couldn't pretend to not be involved at this point. She gave Simone a polite smile. Simone had never respected her even once since she married Sam. Now she had even become one of her greatest obstacles to success."What do you mean, Simone? You really shouldn't pick at my relationship with Sam like this…" Yvonne mewled, tears just about falling down her face.Simone wasn't

Simeone didn't mind revealing her connection to Jenny. The two women going head-to-head didn't affect her pursuit of inheritance whatsoever. Far behind her, Yvonne's face turned from deathly pale to fierce red in seconds. "Jenny again," Yvonne said angrily, gritting her teeth. No wonder Simone proposed inheriting the company out of the blue!Simone then left Bloom Mansion, leaving Elias and Sam to strategize against her in the living room."You need to do something about this, Dad. You can't have Simone inheriting the company," Sam said anxiously. He wasn't the brightest out there, but even he knew he would become a nobody without the company in his name. Yvonne might even leave him if that happened.Elias thought things through before saying, "Don't worry. The dead won't come seeking your inheritance." He couldn't let his family or its assets land in an outsider's grasp, especially whichever man Simone ended up marrying.Meanwhile, Sam was still reeling from what his father had

Yvonne just about got a stroke hearing that. "So what? So what?! Don't you care that you're just a substitute for some woman?!" She refused to believe anyone could be so tolerant! No—only idiots would behave like this!"Yes, I don't care. Anything else?" Jenny gave Yvonne an annoyed look. She'd slap herself before she believed in the other woman's crazed statements. If she did and got into a fight with Alec, she'd be playing right into her hands.Jenny shut the door before Yvonne could say anything else, leaving Yvonne speechless outside."You can look for yourself then…when you see that woman's face, you'll know I'm not making things up," she grumbled, then finally left. Still, a heavy feeling of unease weighed on her chest.After Yvonne had left, Jenny opened her front door and looked at the door across hers. She couldn't lie and say there wasn't an inch of doubt in her heart, yet she couldn't go and have second thoughts about Alec all because of Yvonne's jealous ramblings. With
