Chapter 95 Life Is Difficult
After another upsetting encounter with Alec, Jenny considered moving out so she wouldn’t run into him
again. Meanwhile, Alec gave Max a call.
“Mr. Faust, why are you calling me so late at night? Don’t tell me you’re calling just to chat with me.”
They didn’t have anything to talk about.
Gripping his phone, Alec said, “I warned you to stay away from Jenny, but you won’t take my words
seriously, will you?”
“Alec, who do you think you are? Why should I take your words seriously?” Max sneered, thinking that
Alec was an interesting person.
“Hasn’t life been difficult for the past few days?” Alec asked. “Your family is eager to take you down. Now
that the opportunity is presented to them, they won’t let you off the hook so easily.
Max gritted his teeth in silence and hatred.
The Fausts were undoubtedly at the top of the food chain in Parrington. When Alec had told him that he

weren’t too far off from the Fausts.
Unfortunately, when Alec made a move, Max realized that there was a big gap between them. Due to
Alec’s intervention, Max lost several business deals consecutively, instantly creating dissatisfaction
among the Pearsons.
In addition, Alec made it known that Max had offended him. As the Pearsons suffered the brunt of the
catastrophe, they were eager to take Max down as soon as possible.
“Stay away from Jenny, and I will guarantee you your spot in your family,” he said.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t leave any room for negotiation. The person would have been removed
from the picture immediately.
Alec felt that Max had no reason to refuse his offer. After all, he didn’t really fancy Jenny. She was not
that important compared to the Pearsons. To his surprise, Max didn’t agree.
“Alec, I will tell you the same thing. Kill me if you can. I won’t let you get what you want.”
“Max.” Alec gritted his teeth. “Think about the consequences.”
“Bring it on. Show me your skills.”
Max had been waiting for this day for a long time. After hanging up the phone, the smile on his face also
disappeared.
Regardless of how nonchalant he pretended to be in front of Alec, he could not deny the existence of the
difficulties plaguing the Pearsons. If the Pearsons fell out of his hands, how could he compete with Alec
in the future?
Compared to Max, Alec was angrier. He flung his phone at the wall, his heart raging. Thinking about it,
he realized how his life stopped being smooth sailing after he divorced Jenny.
He took a deep breath and made another call.
“Grandpa, you should invite Jenny yourself.”
“You little brat=”
“Grandpa, I promise you,” he suddenly said.

“I’m willing to give it a try with her,” Alec said.
Thinking that he was hearing things, Old Mr. Faust asked after a long pause, “Are you serious?”
“Yes.” Alec nodded.
He had to do something to stop Max from succeeding. Since he couldn’t find a way, he had to rely on his
grandfather, who was more than enthusiastic about matching him and Jenny together.
“Okay. Okay. Okay,” Old Mr. Faust said, repeating his words in joy. “I’ll call Jenny to invite her.”
“Grandpa,” Alec called out to him suddenly.
“What is it now?” Old Mr. Faust felt something was amiss about his grandson, but he didn’t press him
with more questions, deciding to leave it to him to figure it out himself.
Alec hesitated for a long time before asking, “Do you think I still have a chance with her?”
“Certainly!” The old man didn’t hesitate to answer. “You two are the most compatible with each other.
Although you’re divorced now, it’s not difficult for you to remarry. However, you must get rid of your bad
temper. When you see Jenny, make sure to treat her better. After all, you need to make up for your
wrongs.
