To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1108 Nonsense

Evan glanced at him and then said, "All of you leave. I want to chat with Jenny alone for a while."

"Evan..." Olivia didn't want to leave. She didn't want the two of them to be alone together.

Just as she was about to speak up again, Evan glared at her. His expression was indifferent as he ordered, "Get out!"

Olivia bit her lip, and Howard quickly stepped forward and urged her, "Let's go. Tell me all about the recent situation at home." Soon, Howard pulled Olivia away, and Jenny remained rooted in the same spot. Evan beckoned at her once more. "Come and sit beside me, Jenny."

After a brief silence, Jenny walked over. "How's your injury?"

Despite changing into new clothes and dressing up carefully, her voice was still hoarse. It was obvious, and nothing could be done to cover it up.

"Your voice... Did Howard do that to you?" Evan frowned.

"I'm fine. I was just locked up and not given any food." Jenny smiled as if she really didn't care.

But Evan's heart clenched with pain when he heard that. "That bastard! Don't worry. I'll teach him a lesson."

Teach him a lesson?

Jenny looked at Evan and couldn't help but laugh. "If you care about me, let me leave."

"Jenny-"

"I'm only here because Howard forced me to. You should know that," Jenny cut him off.

Evan knew very well what had happened. Before he was shot and fell unconscious at the airport, the last thing he saw was Howard pointing a gun at Jenny. At that time, he wanted to ask Howard to let her go, but before he could speak, he passed out.

In fact, when he woke up, he hadn't counted on Howard bringing Jenny back with them. If Jenny weren't there, he would just submit to fate and figure that they weren't meant to be.

Unfortunately, Howard had brought her, and in this situation, he really didn't want to let Jenny leave.

He didn't speak, and Jenny could tell he was unwilling to let her go. She sneered, "Evan, do you really want to do this?"

Evan was taken aback. The way Jenny called his name was devoid of any warmth. It sounded as if she was addressing a stranger.

"Jenny, I know you don't want to stay here, but since we're already here, let's at least have a few days of fun. After I recover, I'll show you around, and we can consider it a vacation, okay?" He didn't say no but didn't directly agree to her demand either.

Jenny looked at him and could guess what he was thinking. "No matter what you do, I won't stay here."

"I understand." Evan smiled, seemingly unperturbed.

"That's good if you understand." Jenny looked at him, not sure what to feel.

Evan knew how much she didn't want to stay, but he still made her stay. Maybe he really didn't care about what little friendship they had left. Since he didn't care, Jenny felt there was no need for her to care either.

From now on, she and Evan no longer had the same friendship they used to have. Now, what she needed to do was replace a way to leave this place. She didn't choose to confront Evan. She was very clear that this was his territory, and it wouldn't do her any good to go up against him.

Moreover, there was also Olivia, who was hostile and constantly trying to hurt her. Jenny wouldn't let her succeed.

"What's your relationship with Olivia?" Jenny asked.

Evan was somewhat surprised that she would ask about Olivia, but he didn't think much of it and replied, "Just like Howard, she is one of my more trustworthy subordinates."

"Just a subordinate?" Jenny was suspicious. "The way I see it, she seems to be your girlfriend."

"Nonsense," Evan rebuked, "I'm not interested in her."

Jenny smirked and said bluntly, "Is that so? She was planning to slash my face."
