But it didn't matter, even if he knew. He had no evidence.As for surveillance cameras…He looked around the area. Of course, there wouldn't be cameras in a place like this.As he was about to feel dejected, his peripherals swept over a nearby building. It was right next to the alley. Most important of all, a camera was installed on the balcony. And it was pointing right toward the alley.With no time to think, Alec strode toward the building.…Jenny was brought out of the police station by Joe Chapman at night. He said, "Although there is evidence to prove that you were knocked unconscious, it isn't enough to prove that you're not Steven's killer. It's best if you don't leave Parrington for a while and be on standby for the police.""Alright." Jenny nodded obediently.Mr. Chapman had a gentle look on his face. How could such a nice woman be a murderer?"Let's go." He saw a car that stopped nearby and gestured for her to go over.Jenny didn't hesitate. The police station was
Jenny didn't hold herself back in the restaurant. She hadn't eaten well in the police station for the past few days. It wasn't because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to be set free. It was simply because the food tasted horrible."Have some more if you like it." Alec smiled, handing her another plate of food.Jenny ate solidly. Then, her phone rang, and she picked it up hurriedly. "Mr. Spade?""It's me," Christopher replied. "I heard about the news in Parrington. Are you alright?""I'm fine. I just got out of the police station," Jenny said as she ate."That's great. I'm not familiar with the police stations in Parrington, so I can't help much. But don't worry. I'll control the comments on the Internet," Christopher said.Jenny thought to herself that she had a pretty sociable personality. So many people were willing to help her when something happened. "Alright. Thank you."They chatted for a little while more, and Jenny hung up. She raised her head and realized that
Jenny slept soundly that night. Little did she know that the internet was in an uproar.A media outlet revealed that Jenny, the murderer, had been released from the police station. At first, no one really cared about Jenny, but then the news stated that she was Alec Faust's ex-wife. She became a trending topic because of that.It was Alec Faust, after all. He was constantly trending. Countless women lusted after him. People online loved gossip, much less gossip related to Alec.The news poster said that Jenny was the biggest suspect in the murder case, but because of her connections with Alec, she was released from the police station unharmed.The one who had died was Steven Dickman. The Dickmans was a pretty influential family in Parrington. If even a family like that couldn't be given closure, a commoner would never even be able to dream of justice.The crowds instantly felt empathetic toward Steven. They began cursing at Jenny and interrogating the police station, even roping A
The crowd's expressions shifted, and they stepped back hurriedly. They were just angry. They didn't actually want to hurt Jenny.Jenny looked extremely sour. She didn't expect the water. They wanted to disfigure her.She glared at the offender. Her instincts told her that something else had brought them there. But right now, she had no time to think about all this. She shifted her gaze to the man before her and asked, "Are you alright? Why did you come here?"Alec turned and smiled. "I told you that you could always rely on me.""Your arm…""It's alright. Let's go." He wasn't sure if other dangers were lurking around.Jenny held his gaze for a moment and nodded. They left together. This time, no one blocked her from doing so.In the car, Alec revved up the engine. He didn't mention where they would be going."Stop the car," Jenny suddenly said.He frowned. Patiently, he said, "Don't get mad. Let's just leave this place.""I said stop the car!" Jenny insisted. Alec's arm was b
When he got to the condominium, Jenny was already at the gates. She looked like she was about to leave. That was why he asked."I wanted to see Zack and Gilbert. I don't want my gates to be surrounded by people every day." The previous incident made her realize that this matter had to be settled quickly."I'll go with you," Alec said.Jenny frowned. She glanced at the wound on his arm. She parted her lips to refuse, but Alec said, "I'm fine. It's nothing."She was speechless. Alright. Since he thought that one large patch of red skin meant nothing, she didn't have to pity him.The car started toward Gilbert's villa.Right as they reached the entrance, they bumped into Zack and Gilbert, who were about to leave. Jenny was surprised. "Zack! Gilbert! Where are you guys going?""Jenny?" Gilbert was shocked. "Are you alright? We just heard that someone was attacking you and were about to go to your condo.""I'm fine." Jenny shook her head and looked at Zack. "Zack, has the footage be
Alec leaned back on the chair, grinning from ear to ear. "I wonder if Jenny becomes aware of your feelings for her, would she still treat you like a brother?"Despite Alec's threat, Gilbert was unfazed. Instead, he asked, "Are you close with Jenny? Do you think she'll believe you or me if you told her that?"Alec fell silent as he knew that Jenny would undoubtedly believe in Gilbert."Well, if you would continue being only a brother to her, I won't have to tell her," he replied. Gilbert snorted in response. "No matter what becomes of my relationship with Jenny, I won't allow you to be with her!"The door to the study opened just as the two were about to confront each other, and Jenny and Zack walked into the living room."Gilbert?"Jenny immediately noticed the tension in the room and circled the two of them suspiciously.Gilbert's gaze softened instantly when he heard her voice. "Jenny, have you fixed it?" he asked, turning his head."Well, I've already sent the video to
They caught quite a bit of attention in the grocery store. In addition to their dashing and beautiful appearance, they were not unknown members of the public.Fortunately, the video recorded by the surveillance cameras in the hotel had been uploaded to the Internet, and it clearly showed that Jenny had been knocked unconscious and brought into the room. It successfully cleared the suspicion surrounding her.At the moment, the police were spending their best efforts tracking down the burly men who had brought her to the hotel, and they were convinced that useful findings would arrive soon."What would you like to eat, Jenny?" Gilbert all but ignored everyone. His gaze was fixed on Jenny as if she was the only person in his world. Jenny, on the other hand, didn't like being stared at. She took out a mask from her bag and put it on, "Well, anything is fine. Anything you cook is great.""Well, in that case, I'll decide what we'll have for dinner," Gilbert replied.Jenny nodded in re
To their surprise, however, no one did anything. Nothing happened to them all the way home. It made Alec wonder if he had been overly cautious.When Gilbert was busy in the kitchen, Alec received a call from Vincent. Despite the report he received, he was still anxious. After hanging up, he returned to the living room and shook his head at Jenny.Jenny breathed a sigh of relief. A lot had happened recently, and she really didn't want anything bad to happen again."Let me help you." Jenny walked into the kitchen and helped Gilbert make dinner.In the living room, Alec and Zack, who were not very familiar with each other, were left alone. Although Zack was not as hostile toward Alec as Gilbert, he wasn't very nice to him, either. He gave Alec a look and said, "There's no point pretending to be courteous. Jenny isn't superficial.""Well, you're right." Alec didn't want to argue with him. After all, he had nothing against Zack. Plus, he was Jenny's brother, so Alec would be stupid to
