After Jenny and Stephanie had their dinner, they went back to their homes. Little did they know that Jenny was once more the target of the Dickmans. However, she need not worry. Unless she was up against a pervert like Alec, she was good at self-defense. Few people could fight her.When Jenny arrived at the hospital the next day, Christopher walked into her office unhappily. "Something's happened in Bardoff City, Jenny. I need to leave.""Alright. You can go," Jenny said."Aren't you going to miss me?" Christopher was hurt by her lack of response. He thought that they had at least bonded a little.Jenny looked at him and said calmly, "Maybe. Bardoff City isn't that far away. You can come back again once things are settled.""That's true." Christopher thought what she said made sense, and he smiled at once.Jenny couldn't be bothered to say much more."Call me if you need me. As long as the Spades are still under my control, I'll definitely help you in whatever way I can," he sai
Alec didn't raise his head. "Maybe another time. I'm busy today.""Alright." Yvonne was exasperated. "Can we have lunch together, at least? It's been a long time since we've eaten together."Alec looked up, his eyebrows furrowing. "Isn't Dickman LLC about to collapse? Why aren't you settling the trouble caused by Pearson and Gilbert instead of hanging around here?"He thought that Yvonne was there to ask for his help. He had already thought of what to say to reject her, but she hadn't spoken about it at all."My father has brought Steven into the company. It's no longer my concern." She smiled, but her heart ached.Alec was quite understanding of Mr. Dickman's behavior, so he couldn't help feeling sorry for Yvonne. After all, they had been friends for many years. He didn't like the Dickmans purely because of Steven, but he didn't hate Yvonne.He gathered his files and said, "Let's have lunch.""Alright." She smiled, feeling happy.Oh, Jenny. Yvonne and Alec had known each other
"All together!"Seeing that Jenny couldn't keep up anymore, Dill spoke up. He didn't want to reveal all his techniques. If possible, he hadn't wanted to expose himself at all.At once, they attacked her together.Jenny realized the gravity of the situation and prepared to flee, but they didn't give her the chance to do so. They surrounded her, not letting her escape. In the end, she was knocked unconscious.Right as she passed out, she saw them heave sighs of relief. She was unlucky to have met people with such good fighting abilities.Then, she blanked out.…Jenny was missing.When Alec heard the news, he immediately left the meeting, leaving behind a group of very bewildered officials.The surveillance footage was quickly found. Jenny appeared on the camera, and it was clearly seen that she followed the men somewhere. As for what they said and where they went, no one knew."Keep up the investigations," Alec said darkly and left the surveillance room. He held his phone and
Alec strode in. His anxious gaze rested on Jenny, and he was stunned for a long moment before coming back to his senses."Are you alright?" he asked, his voice thick with worry.Jenny was shocked and asked, uncertain, "Are you here for me?"Alec's face darkened immediately. "What, you think I'm here for a vacation?"Jenny smiled dryly. She wasn't quite sure how to describe what she was feeling. She would never have guessed that the first person to come to help her when she was in danger would be Alec. It was such an irony."Are you alright? What happened?" He walked over to her side, asking about what had happened.She shook her head. Truthfully speaking, she was still a little dazed. "Nothing."Alec furrowed his eyebrows. "Nothing at all?"Jenny nodded. She knew Alec was equally bewildered. She was kidnapped, but nothing was done to her. Her kidnappers had only dumped her in this hotel for Alec to find. What was the point of this?At this moment, Alec caught sight of the bloo
Before their conversation ended, someone walked in through the door. But this time, it wasn't just one person, but a whole group of people.The police officers came in. "We received a report saying that a murder has taken place on this grounds."Jenny pointed at Steven, lying on the bed. "He was already dead when we came in."The police officer ignored her. When he saw the corpse on the bed, he turned grim and immediately called for his partners. They seemed to have already pinned the two people as suspects.Alec and Jenny were both taken to the police station. They awaited their interrogations.At the same time, the news of Steven Dickman's death spread through Parrington like wildfire. He was, after all, the son of a major family. People would care.Soon, photos of Jenny being taken to the police station were leaked. People began saying that Steven was trying to rape her, and when she was defending herself, she stabbed him to death.The people began cursing and calling Steven
He wasn't the only police officer who thought the same. Joe Chapman, who watched the interrogation from outside, smiled as he said, "She's pretty bold. It's no wonder that you admire her."Alec looked at Jenny, who was in the interrogation room. A smile appeared on his lips unwittingly. "She's just that special."She was Jenny Walter, his ex-wife. Subsequently, the woman he could not fathom the most."But you must prepare yourself. Even if she's yours, this is a tough situation to handle. The evidence all points to her. If you can't find anything that clears her name, she might actually have to go to court," Mr. Chapman reminded.Although Alec's status was extraordinary, he was just another person to the law. If Jenny had really killed Steven, even Alec wouldn't be able to protect her. He nodded, understanding. "I believe her.""Alright. Then you must find evidence that proves her innocence. The superiors are taking this very seriously. The Dickmans are applying a lot of pressure.
In the interrogation room, Yvonne looked at Jenny sitting on the opposite side. The corners of her lips lifted slightly but quickly returned to a frown."Miss Jenny, my brother was wrong for what he did before. That's why I told him to apologize to you. You said you had forgiven him, so I thought you had. I didn't think…"She covered her face and wept.Jenny said nothing, watching Yvonne's performance with a cold look on her face."You could have handed it to the authorities even if he had done something wrong. Why did you kill him? He was so young. How could you do it?"Yvonne's words implied that Jenny was truly a murderer. She completely ignored the fact that the evidence wasn't inconclusive and Jenny was still just a suspect.Jenny leaned back against the chair. It was a long while before she spoke. "The police haven't even labeled me as a murderer yet. Why do you think I killed Steven?""Who else could it be? Your fingerprints are on the weapon," Yvonne said, her eyes red.
The moment Yvonne stepped out of the interrogation room, she could feel her father's gaze, and her heart beat faster. Jenny's words must have raised his suspicions."You're not seriously considering her words, are you, dad? She's picking at our relationship on purpose," Yvonne said. No matter what her father believed, she had to say something.George was silent. He fixed his weary eyes on Yvonne as if deep in thought.Yvonne continued, "Dad, only the two of us are left. We must team up to expand the Dickmans!"A moment later, George seemed to be convinced by her words. He said in a low voice, "The culprit had better not be you. If I learn that this was your doing…I would rather give it away than pass it on to you!" Then, he turned to leave. Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief.She watched her father leave and smirked. Steven was already dead. Who could prove that she was the one who did it? Once she inherited the company, she would repay him for his "love and affection."Steven's deat
