Chapter 278 You Murderer
Jenny was touched by Stephanie’s concern. “Don’t worry. I’m okay.”
Stephanie let go of her and put on a stern look. “What happened? Tell me everything.” She clearly heard
a crash that sounded like a collision on the phone, and she wouldn’t believe it if Jenny had told her
everything was fine.
Jenny didn’t plan to lie to her. While walking to Marigold’s room, she recounted details from the accident.
Stephanie felt her heart leaping into her throat when she heard how Marigold wanted to crash her car
into Jenny, but she felt much relieved after hearing that Alec had saved Jenny by ramming his car into
Marigold’s.
They arrived at Marigold’s door right as Jenny wrapped up the story. Fuming, Stephanie was about to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbarge into the room and fight Marigold, but Jenny held her back. “She’s still in recovery. We should
probably leave her to the police. Don’t worry. She can’t run from what she did.”
After all, she had filed a police report, and there was evidence from the surveillance camera on the
street. She believed that Marigold wouldn’t be easily forgiven for the car crash, and she had no intention
of offering forgiveness, even though she was safe and sound. At the end of the day, Alec was injured
while saving her. No matter what, she insisted that Marigold pay the price for the crazy act.
“I’m just angry! Is she a madwoman? How could she run you over with her car? No wonder Gilbert
doesn’t like her at all.” Stephanie learned from Jenny the reason behind Marigold’s hatred. Jenny had
thought that Marigold simply disliked her, not knowing that the girl would go to such an extreme to harm
her.
Jenny didn’t comment on Stephanie’s remark, but she agreed that it’d be better for Gilbert not to fall for
Marigold, who was a tad too radical. The two would not be happy if they were in a relationship.
In the room, Marigold was staring at the space with a vacant look. Still, her eyes immediately flared with
resentment upon seeing Jenny, and she hissed, “You’re lucky to be alive, given the circumstances.”
At the moment when the brakes failed, Marigold had expected Jenny to die from the crash. Even though
she never planned to take Jenny’s life, she wouldn’t mind Jenny dying too.
“You should say that about yourself,” Jenny smirked as she looked at Marigold’s bandaged head.
Marigold glared at her viciously, but she suddenly thought of Alec and blurted out, “Where’s Alec?”
“Alec Faust? Don’t worry. He’s fine,” Jenny replied. “Never thought you’d care about him.”
“He’s Paul’s good friend. That’s why I worry about him,” Marigold glared at her again and gritted her
teeth. “I honestly do not know how you seduce Alec. Why would he show up and save you?”
Jenny shrugged wearily and smiled. “I don’t know why he saved me, just like I couldn’t understand your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmintention to kill me.”
“I never wanted to kill you,” Marigold mumbled in a hushed voice. “You were simply unlucky.”
She attributed the malfunctioning brakes to Jenny’s bad luck.
“You never wanted to kill Jenny? Stop lying, you murderer!” Stephanie couldn’t hold back and stood up to
retort
Marigold gave her a side eye and snickered, “And you are Paul’s kept woman. Am I right? He really has
no taste.”
Stephanie’s temper flared, and she almost charged at Marigold. “Who’s his kept woman again? You’d
better watch your mouth. Since when did I ask him to pay for anything?” She had never taken advantage
of Paul Wagner when she was dating him. However, the Wagners had the audacity to characterize her
as a bloodsucker. How despicable!
