To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 281

Chapter 281 Killing Her Wasn't My Plan

Marigold was most afraid of Paul since she was a child. Under his scrutiny, she tensed up and held her breath. "Killing her wasn't my plan." She lowered her gaze and dodged his eyes.

"Not your plan? But the speed at which you charged at me seemed to say otherwise. You didn't look like you would spare me." Jenny was slightly terrified after she checked the surveillance footage of the incident. Had it not been for Alec's timely appearance, she could've lost her life.

Marigold wanted to retort but held her tongue when she sensed Paul's sharp gaze. "I planned to brake the car right in front of you as a scare. But the brake wasn't working, and that scared the heck out of me as well."

"Do you think that sounds believable?" Jenny stared at Marigold in disbelief.

Marigold gritted her teeth. If Paul weren't around, she wouldn't have wasted her time responding to Jenny's interrogation. "Believe it or not, it's all up to you. I never intended to kill you," she scoffed and lay back on the bed, giving up and pretending to fall asleep.

Paul looked at Jenny. "She won't lie in my presence. Moreover, he believed that Marigold wasn't bold enough to plot a murder, and she must have been telling the truth about her intention to scare Jenny. Jenny, however, pursed her lips. She understood that Marigold wasn't the type to kill, but she was hard-pressed to believe in the coincidence.

"Her car's still around. You can open an investigation into it," Paul suggested.

Jenny nodded at his words. "Of course I will. But even if she didn't plan to kill me, she's not completely innocent, either. It's naive of you to think that'll be enough to convince me to let this go." She decided not to go easy on Marigold.

Paul wasn't surprised by her stubbornness, he knew from the start that she wasn't a pushover. "State your conditions. I'll agree to what you want as long as it's not a ridiculous offer." Finally, he came to the decision to protect Marigold.

Jenny started thinking hard about what she could demand from Paul. When she was debating, Alec threw out an idea casually, "Paul, I recall that you have a garment factory under your name. Is that right?" Her eyes lit up at the mention of the asset. Even though she had established her fashion design company, she still lacked a factory. Because of that, she could only subcontract factories to manufacture her clothes, which would be an obstacle to future development in terms of quality control. Having a dedicated factory for the brand could easily solve these issues.

"You're one heck of a good friend!" The suggestion wiped off the smile on Paul's face. Although his factory didn't manufacture the products from his company, it could rake in hundreds of millions annually through its subcontracting business, so he was rather reluctant to hand it to Jenny.

She had little regard for his feelings and demanded, "I want the factory that Alec mentioned."

"That's too much." Paul didn't think giving up the entire factory in return for Marigold's freedom was worth the price.

"If you're unwilling to give it to me, that's fine too. I can put out the surveillance footage for the world to see. Let's see how you'll protect Marigold, then. Jenny was cool about it since she wouldn't suffer any loss in either scenario.

Paul was enraged by her attitude and gave her a warning look. "Jenny Walter, you'd better not burn your bridges. One day, when Alec couldn't protect you anymore, you might end up in grave trouble without knowing it."
