Blake was speechless hearing Alec's words. She didn't expect Jenny would decide to take care of Evan for the rest of his life. If that was the case, she couldn't do anything about it. "I can't possibly ask Jenny to give up on that idea, can I?" Blake started racking her brain for a solution.

While she was nagging about the impossibility of it all internally, Alec suddenly spoke up.

"If you want me to help you take over the Watkins family, it's not entirely impossible."

Upon hearing that, Blake's eyes lit up. "Are you agreeing to help me?" she asked.

"I can help you take control over the Watkins on the condition that I can successfully gain control over the Fausts. So, you have to replace a way for the Watkins to stir up some trouble, do you know what I mean?" Blake was stunned for a moment, but she soon understood what Alec was hinting at. The Fausts were already in trouble, and giving them more trouble at this time would double the pressure on Yakov and render him unable to cope with it all.

However, Blake also had her own difficulties. "I don't have much say in the Watkins."

"This is a problem you have to solve. If you can't solve it, you won't be able to help me, so why should I help you?" After Alec said that, he then drove into his apartment building without paying attention to Blake.

Blake stood there for a long time, watching Alec's car disappear into the distance. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind as she got up and left.

In the following days, Jenny took care of Evan in the hospital, and Alec didn't go to the hospital to torture himself by seeing them together. He was busy investigating the mastermind and contacting the best doctors internationally.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and there were only three days left until the New Year's. Bardoff City was covered in heavy snow, and Alec had to entertain clients until late at night before returning home. When he arrived at his apartment, he noticed Jenny's door was ajar. Jenny had been staying at the hospital during this time and had hardly returned home, so it was strange to see her door open.

"Jenny?" he called out as he walked toward the door.

No answer came from within the unit. That made Alec instantly alert, and he sobered up a bit. He walked into the living room, which was lit up, but he didn't see anyone. There was a sound coming from the bedroom. Alec frowned, mentally preparing himself for a fight before heading there.

However, when he pushed open the door and saw Jenny, who was completely naked, he was stunned and rooted to the spot.

Then, a loud scream sounded. Following that, a soft pillow hit Alec in the face, and he didn't even try to dodge it.

"Sorry! Your door was open, so I thought someone had broken into your house!" he explained hurriedly, then quickly averted his gaze. That was obviously unnecessary because he'd already seen what he needed to see.

Jenny was speechless as she hastily got dressed.

She had gone into the bathroom to shower without grabbing her clothes earlier. Thinking it was her home, she didn't care too much and walked out naked. She never expected Alec to come in right at that time. After getting dressed, she cleared her throat and asked, "Did I forget to close the door?"

"Yes, you did," Alec replied.

It was probably because she had come back in a hurry that she didn't exert enough strength to close the door properly. She found that she couldn't blame Alec for walking in on her.

"I see."

"Huh?" Alec didn't understand what she meant by that. Was she not angry anymore?

Turning his gaze back to Jenny, he saw she was already dressed, but her hair was still wet, dripping with water.

"Why did you come back?" he asked.

"Evan has been discharged from the hospital," she replied and then took out a hair dryer to dry her hair.

Alec followed her and took the hair dryer from her hand. "Let me help you," he said.

Jenny wanted to refuse, but in the end, she didn't. So, she sat there while Alec dried her hair, and everything seemed great and surprisingly peaceful between them.
