To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 227

Chapter 227 You're An Accomplice

Jenny brought Stephanie out along with her group of people. They left Paul's sight quickly. Stephanie's words and her look of hatred had made a lasting impression.

"They're all gone. Why are you still here?" Paul looked at Alec dejectedly after a moment.

Alec frowned. He could sense that something was off with Paul. "If you like her, just pursue her. You'll just push her away like this."

Paul sneered at his words. His slender fingers typed on the keyboard. "I could have any woman I wanted. Why would I pursue her? Someone would think she was a princess."

"The choice is yours. Don't come crying to me when you regret this later." Alec didn't have the strength to talk to him anymore and turned to leave.

"Why don't you worry about yourself? I don't think Jenny is easy to handle," Paul said cruelly.

Alec's face turned dark instantly. He glared at him. "Thanks for the reminder."

"You're welcome." Paul waved at him, an infuriating look on his face.

Alec left the villa and called Jenny at once but was greeted by the soulless robotic voice. Jenny had hung up on him.

Alec panicked.

Without thinking, he drove toward Perry Residence. He had to explain this to her.

Jenny didn't return to her house immediately. She sent Stephanie home safely and instructed her to rest well before going home. When she got there, Alec had been waiting for two hours. But he didn't feel tired. He was just worried that Jenny would ignore him.

"Jenny." Alec straightened when he saw her, like a child who had done something wrong.

Jenny glanced at him and went straight toward the door. Before she closed it, Alec squeezed in.

"Jenny. I didn't mean to lie to you," Alec said, full of remorse.

Jenny took off her shoes and went toward the sofa, saying expressionlessly, "Yeah. You didn't mean to. You just did it on purpose."

"Jenny, L

"How dare you say you didn't know Stephanie was in his villa?" Jenny cut him off. Alec was silent, and she grew angrier. "And you dared to say you didn't mean to do it. Aren't you just helping him? Thank God that Stephanie is alright. If anything happened to her, you'd be an accomplice."

She wasn't just furious because something could have happened to Stephanie. It was partly because of Alec's betrayal. She hated being lied to more than anything.

"I'm sorry." Alec felt nothing he said would change anything. He didn't know what to say except that he was sorry.

Jenny took a deep breath and willed herself to calm down. "You don't have to apologize. Paul is your friend. It wasn't wrong of you to help him." *Jenny..."

"You don't need to explain. This was your choice. I have mine, too." She looked at him with disappointment.

Alec's heart sank when he saw the way Jenny looked at him. All of a sudden, it was hard to breathe. "I'll apologize to Stephanie myself."

"There's no need." Jenny refused on Stephanie's behalf. She didn't think Stephanie would want to hear it.

"Can't you just give me another chance? I swear that something like this will never happen again." Even if Paul were involved, he would never lie to Jenny again.

Jenny looked at him, speaking softly, "I can't. You had one chance, but it's gone now."
