To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279 You’re Her Family, Indeed

Thankfully, Jenny held Stephanie back just in time; she didn’t doubt for a second that Stephanie might get physical on Marigold.

“Steph!” Jenny chided her. “Calm down. She’s not worth it.”

Stephanie bit her lips and almost cried. “You’re right. A murderer like her deserves to spend the rest of her life in prison.”

“Who are you accusing of being a murderer? I’m warning you to watch your mouth. I lost control of the car -that’s all.” Marigold wasn’t a fool. She adamantly denied her involvement in the planned act, considering that there was no evidence pointing at her and that Jenny was safe.

Stephanie became livid at Marigold’s denial. “Jenny, don’t stop me. I’ll beat her up today.”

She thought, “The Wagners are annoying. First, there was Paul. Marigold was the same too.”

“Steph,” Jenny called out to Stephanie and shook her head. Stephanie was indignant but was surprised to find Jenny staring calmly at Marigold despite her denial.

He was momentarily caught off guard by their presence but soon gathered himself. “Give me an offer. What can I do for you to let this slip?” He believed nothing was impossible as long as he offered a matching incentive.

“You’re Marigold’s family, indeed.” Jenny chuckled in disdain. She had never held any judgment against Paul, but after seeing how he treated Stephanie and his determination to protect Marigold, she started harboring a dislike for him.

He frowned in displeasure. “You won’t benefit from sending her to jail. There’s nothing for you apart from getting your revenge. Not only that, you’ll be on the wrong side of the Wagners. Look, Alec has always described you as a smart woman. If so, I believe you know what’s best for yourself.”

If Jenny weren’t important to Alec, Paul wouldn’t have engaged with her at all-he didn’t hold her in high regard.
