To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 1296

Chapter 1296 She Was Not to Be Trifled With

"I'm sorry, Zack, that was too sudden. I haven't..." Words stumbled out of her mouth, and thoughts jumbled up in her head. She was telling him that she wasn't ready, that it was too sudden, and that she needed to think about it. But her words were stuck in her throat in the next second because he had pulled her into a hug.

She was quiet. Feeling the warmth from his body, she badly wanted to say yes without any care in the world, but...she didn't have the courage to do so. Perhaps, just like Gilbert had said, life for Zack would be easier without her. Zack wouldn't have had to face the hazards of getting involved with her parents.

"It's alright, Janet. I can wait." Zack accepted her explanation of the proposal being too sudden. After all, he had indeed acted impulsively. He had been thinking about marriage, but the early proposal was outside his original plan. He understood her panic and her refusal to say yes. Instead of feeling angry, he was upset at himself for rushing the proposal. It wasn't the right time.

Janet gave him a nod in a daze. He didn't press further, much to her relief. Anyway, she didn't have to worry about giving him an answer at the moment.

Meanwhile, Jenny and her team had left Bardoff City and crossed the borders into a small town in a district near the city. Although the town was unaffiliated with Bardoff City, people there were rich because they were close to the city. Therefore, it shocked Jenny that Janet's parents would even think of giving up their daughter for a loan.

Jenny found her way to Janet's family home, where laughter could be heard from within. None of Janet's family seemed to care about her wellbeing in Bardoff City.

Jenny went through her plan with Melissa in the car. After hearing the plan, Melissa gave her a thumbs up. "Roger that. Don't worry. I won't disappoint you. I'm a professional when it comes to acting."

Jenny wasn't planning to meet with Janet's parents because she was afraid of giving herself away. No one knew if Janet's parents had looked into Zack's background. If they did, they'd recognize her as well. That would foil her plan, which was why she needed to call for Melissa's help.

Later, Melissa and a few of her bulky men knocked on the door of Janet's parents' home. The family was faring quite well for owning a three-story house in the town. At least, they must be far from starving. Soon, someone answered the door. Melissa recognized her as Janet's mom from the files that Jenny shared.

"Who are you?" Janet's mom frowned at the sight of a female stranger. Melissa, donning a pair of sunglasses with a few huge guys with her, looked like she was not to be trifled with.

"Are you Janet Hale's mother?" Melissa demanded to know as she forced her way into the house. Her bodyguards followed suit and stood behind her when she sat on a chair, looking pompous and threatening.

Not only was Janet's mom shocked, but even her dad and her brother, seated in the living room, appeared confused. The trio huddled together and exchanged glances. They had no idea about Melissa and the reason she came knocking on their door. One thing was for sure-she was not to be trifled with.

"Miss..."

"Who are you calling "Miss'? Do you have no manners?" Melissa glared at the unlucky one who spoke up as one of her bodyguards grabbed Janet's brother by the collar and threw him on the floor. "Ah! That hurts! Dad, Mom, save me!" Janet's brother winced in pain and wailed while the bodyguard stepped on his arm.
