Chapter 224 My Relationship With Stephanie
Jenny and her group of people reached Paul’s villa. A bodyguard walked up to her. “Miss Jenny?”
“Where’s Paul Wagner?” Jenny looked unpleasant. All she wanted to know was how Stephanie was
doing.
“He’s waiting for you,” the bodyguard replied. He gestured for Jenny to follow him.
Jenny raised an eyebrow. So, it seemed that Paul already knew that she was coming. She didn’t
decline, following the bodyguard into the villa. Perhaps Paul was feeling confident. He even permitted
Gilbert and the people to go in. There were about twenty of them, clearly not here on good terms.
Paul was drinking coffee in the living room. When he saw Jenny and the troupe of people tagging along
behind her, he didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. “Is this really necessary? Alec and I are friends. I
should even be calling you my sister-in-law.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPaul looked like the dominant friend, but Alec was the older of the two. That was why Paul would call
Jenny his sister-in-law. He seemed to think Alec and Jenny would be together sooner or later.
Jenny’s eyebrows furrowed when he said that, expressing her displeasure. “I don’t care about your
friendship with Alec. Nor do I want to care. I’m here to take Stephanie back. Where is she?”
Jenny had not seen a trace of Stephanie yet, so she was worried.
“Surely you don’t need to interfere in the matters between Stephanie and me?” Paul smiled, but it was
a devious smile that made people uncomfortable.
“I wouldn’t care if you were a normal couple, but are you? Is Stephanie your girlfriend?” She didn’t hold
herself back.
Stephanie had told her before that he was unwilling to put a label on their relationship, so there was
nothing between them.
It was evident that Jenny’s words hit too close to home. Paul’s gaze sharpened at once, as if he were
about to go on a murder spree.
Jenny was not in the least bit afraid. If he attacked, she was confident that she could handle him.
Instantly, Alec walked into the living room. “Paul! Don’t you dare to touch a single hair on Jenny’s
head.”
At the sight of his arrival, Paul put his arms up in the air helplessly. “Am I touching her, Alec? It’s
obvious that she’s the one who wants to attack.”
Alec walked to Jenny’s side, saying softly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t…”
“There’s no need to apologize, Mr. Faust. Paul is your friend. There’s nothing wrong with helping out a
friend.” Jenny was cold. She didn’t look at him.
When she said, “Mr. Faust,” Alec knew that the bond he had struggled to build with her was gone once
more. He glared at Paul at once. If not for this bastard, he and Jenny wouldn’t have ended up like this.
As if understanding the meaning behind his glare, Paul said, “Why are you getting angry at Alec? This
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhas nothing to do with him.”
“Where is Stephanie?” Jenny’s voice was cold. She was losing her patience.
“She’s mine. Why should I give her to you?” Paul held her gaze. Even if Alec were here, he was not
planning on letting Stephanie go.
Jenny’s face darkened. She clenched her fists. “I’m going to ask you just this once. Where is
Stephanie?”
The air was so tense it could be cut through with a knife. They stared at each other, neither one
relenting. Alec, who was just standing next to them, felt a headache incoming.
“Let Stephanie go,” he said, looking at Paul. “It’s time. What’s the point of you keeping her here?”
Jenny sighed in relief. She thought that Paul would let Stephanie go if Alec spoke up.
But that was not the case. Paul merely looked at Alec and said, “Sorry, Alec. I don’t feel like letting her
go anymore.”
