Chapter 97 Why Is Alec Afraid of the Dark?

“I assumed they wouldn’t invite you,” Max said with a scowl. “Was it that bastard Alec who invited you?”

“No, it was his grandfather,” Jenny replied. “Considering my previous relationship with him, it makes sense for him to invite me, especially since I was married to Alec.”

Max’s expression darkened. “I didn’t realize you and the old man were on good terms.”

“Yeah, not too bad,” Jenny said.

The room fell silent until Max said, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow. Is that alright?”

“That’s fine,” Jenny agreed, not wanting to go back on her promise.

Max got up and headed toward the door, but Jenny stopped him with a question. “I’ve been curious about this. Why do you hold a grudge against Alec?”

She had never heard of any feud between the two families. However, from Max’s behavior, she could tell that something big must have happened between Alec and him, which made her curious.
