To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
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.

"Do you think you could run from justice by denial? Marigold Wagner, who do you think I am? I've checked all the surveillance footage. Any sane person could tell that it was premeditated murder. Do you think you'll be fine because your family will back you up?" She flashed a chilling smile that sent a shiver down Marigold's spine.

Marigold questioned, "W-What do you mean?"

"Do you want to guess how much Paul will pay for his sister? Is he willing to give up the family's reputation to protect you?" She smiled at Marigold, who was quiet but pale. She went on, "Once I release the footage online, your family will have to get ready for the backlash if they want to protect you. Are you sure that Paul will make that huge sacrifice for you? Plus, the Wagners has been undergoing an image change because it wants to part ways with its ugly history. Do you think Paul will defend you in this case? I bet he'd rather give up on you to show his dedication to protecting the family's reputation." Marigold trembled from head to toe after hearing Jenny's analysis, thinking she was scarier than Paul. Gritting her teeth, she finally muttered, "What do you want?"

"Nothing. I just want you to pay the price." Jenny chuckled softly and decided to leave with Stephanie. Before they reached the door, they saw Paul pushing the door open and entering.

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.
