Chapter 146 You Don’t Owe Me
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.”

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 wasn’t a nice place to be. She would not miss it.
The person who had stopped for her by the road was Alec.
Jenny looked at him with mixed feelings. She had heard from Mr. Chapman that Alec was the one who
found the evidence. On top of that, he found it himself. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She thought that her brothers would be the ones to save her. She didn’t think that Alec would get it done
first.
“Thank you,” she said as she walked over to him. She had to thank him.
The corners of his lips curled upward, enjoying the moment. “It’s my pleasure. It’s what I should be
doing.”
“It’s not. You don’t owe me.”
Alec’s instincts told him that if they continued this conversation, they would part on bad terms. So he
changed the topic. “Just get in. I’ll bring you out for a nice meal.”
Jenny didn’t move. Her gaze was deep. After a long while, she sighed and nodded. “Alright.”
She wouldn’t be able to live with herself if she refused an offer from someone who saved her.
Once she got into the car, she no longer thought about those things. She asked, “Can the surveillance
footage from the hotel be retrieved?”
“Zack was still working on it when I came here. It should be done soon,” Alec said.
Jenny nodded. She called Gilbert to tell him that she was free now.
After she hung up, Alec couldn’t help asking, “Are you and Gilbert close?”
“They’re my brothers. Of course we’re close.” Jenny thought that Alec’s question was weird.
Alec felt embarrassed. He couldn’t tell her that he thought Gilbert liked her, could he? Jenny would jump

“Who do you think is behind this? They’re good at covering up their tracks. Nothing has come up ever
since the investigation started.” Alec changed the topic once more. He decided to pursue Jenny as
quickly as possible. This way, it wouldn’t matter what Gilbert thought of her.
Jenny was in no hurry to reply. She looked at Alec thoughtfully and asked, “What do you think?”
Alec sighed. “Your suspicions make sense. It’s just that I’ve known her for so many years. I can’t believe
that she would become this ruthless.”
He knew Yvonne seemed very suspicious, but they grew up together. He had even felt her warmth
before. Alec truly hoped that this wasn’t her doing.
“People change. You might think you know her, but do you, really? Maybe what you know about her is
what she wants you to know,” Jenny said.
Alec nodded, agreeing with what she said. “You’re right, Maybe I’m too hung up on the past.”
