Semua Bab To Be Yours Again: Bab 1241 - Bab 1250

"Well, at that time, I accompanied Alec to study abroad because we were not much different in age. Alec didn't treat me as a subordinate as well, so I got to know Quinn through him. I don't know how she found out I returned to the Wardleys, but she contacted me and asked about Alec's situation," Anthony said.Jenny's heart sank. Why was Quinn asking about Alec's situation? Did she hope to get back together with him? That wasn't impossible, seeing as the current Alec was no longer the foolish youth he was back in college."I only contacted her once, and she hasn't contacted me since then. I don't know where she is now, but I always get the feeling that she must have come back to look for Alec, so I'm giving you a reminder beforehand," Anthony said as he stood up to leave.Jenny watched him leave, lost in thought. She'd never met Quinn, but it wasn't the first time she had heard the woman's name. She thought that she and Quinn were fated to meet sooner or later.Sighing, she felt a l

After the call ended, Jenny couldn't calm down. "Steph was too calm just now."Hearing her words, Alec felt helpless. "Maybe it's because she knows that Leonard will be alright.""No, something's not right." When Stephanie couldn't contact Leonard, she was distraught. But now that she knew he was missing and his whereabouts were unknown, she was eerily calm—it was abnormal.Alec had returned to the kitchen to continue cooking. He said to Jenny, "Don't think too much about it for now. Let's eat and then go to the police station.""Okay," Jenny agreed. She also felt that they should go and check out what was going on.Meanwhile, Stephanie put away her phone and smiled bitterly. She left her home and quickly arrived at the gate of a villa. She walked up and knocked on the door.The door was opened by a maid who looked confused. "Who are you looking for?""Is Paul here?" Stephanie spoke calmly, but the tone of her voice was very intimidating.The maid frowned. "Do you have an appoi

"Do you dare to do it? Come on! What're you waiting for?" Paul looked at her and urged, "I killed Leonard, and if you want to avenge him, today's your only chance."Stephanie gritted her teeth and walked up to him again. Holding the knife tightly, she warned, "Don't force me!""Am I forcing you? I'm giving you a chance. Haven't you always wanted to be free? Now is your chance." Paul looked at her without any intention of dodging her blow.He thought that maybe it would be good to die in her hands like this. The harm he'd caused her would ultimately dissipate with his death. In the next life, he would come back to find her and treat her well.Stephanie held the knife, knowing that if she continued to push the knife into him, Paul would really die. She hated him so very much, but now, she couldn't do it. She despised herself; she hated herself, but it was meaningless.After a long time, she finally let go of the knife and looked at him coldly. "I hate you, but I won't become like yo

Stephanie heaved a sigh of relief when Jenny said that. As long as they had a lead, with Jenny's and Alec's combined efforts, they'd be able to capture those people quickly.She shied away from Jenny's gaze and wiped at the corner of her eyes.Jenny saw her actions but said nothing. "You were impulsive, Stephanie.""I was just so anxious." Stephanie knew that Jenny was talking about her going to see Paul. Usually, she wouldn't even want to see him, but after something happened to Leonard, she didn't give a damn."I thought that you and Leonard were just infatuated with each other. It turns out you like him more than I think," Jenny exclaimed. She didn't even know what else to say.Stephanie was exasperated. "I didn't think I'd like him so much, either. But now, I'm incredibly worried about him. I can't even explain what I'm feeling.""I know." Jenny understood because she felt that way about Alec, too.Maybe this was love."When are you planning to marry him, Jenny?" Stephanie

Alec repeated everything Jenny had said to Paul in his ward. "What do you think? Are you prepared to press charges against Stephanie?""Did you even need to ask? If I were to do that, I'd drive a wedge between you and Jenny." Paul understood this. Alec was putting himself in his shoes, and he had to do the same for him. Besides, he never really wanted Stephanie to take responsibility."Calling it even is pretty great. I wouldn't have to feel guilty anymore." Ever since Stephanie left, Paul lived in guilt and regret. He should be happy to be able to call it even.Alec was a little worried. "You and Stephanie…""She's already calling it even. What am I going to do? Force her? You can tell Jenny that I'm not going to bother Stephanie anymore." Paul seemed to be making a decision.Since this happened, Paul was seeing a lot of things clearly for the first time. He truly no longer had a chance with Stephanie. Nothing he did would change it. She would only hate him even more. He was ju
