To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 283


    Chapter 283 You Can’t Lay a Finger on Her


    Alec was worried that the deal would fall apart, and he advised Jenny, “Take the factory and let this


    slide. It won’t affect how you protect Stephanieter.”


    In his opinion, protecting Stephanie was tangent to the factory deal in exchange for Marigold’s freedom.


    No one would agree to such conditions-not even himself. Therefore, he knew that Paul would never


    agree to both requests.


    Jenny thought it through and agreed with Alec. What mattered most was to secure the immediate


    benefit. Instead of hoping that Paul would keep his promise to stay away from Stephanie, Jenny


    believed it was wiser to grow her power so she could better protect her friend.


    “Alright. I’ll get the factory, and Marigold gets her freedom.” She nodded and sealed the deal. Worried


    that Paul might walk back on his words, she quickly had him draft an agreement. After they signed it,


    she finally allowed him to leave the hospital with Marigold.


    Alec walked Paul to the hospital entrance. “It’s just a factory. Don’t take it personally,” he said, patting


    his friend’s shoulder.


    “Don’t worry, I’m your friend. I’m not going to ambush Jenny Walter,” Paul had thought of doing so


    though.


    “Marigold was in the wrong this time. You should discipline her. She won’t be as lucky next time,” Alec


    said.


    Paul nodded with a stern look but said, “When are you going to get your girl? You can’t expect me to


    always yield to Jenny just because you’re going after her. How about you give up on her? I’ll get you a


    better chick.” Once Alec was over Jenny, Paul would immediately act on his grievance and get even


    with


    her.


    Alec shook his head and confessed, “I’m afraid that won’t work. I don’t have eyes for anyone else aside


    from her.”


    Paul shook his head as well. “You’re hopeless.”


    “What about you? Why are you obsessed with Stephanie? You don’t even like her.” Alec worried that


    another argument might erupt between Paul and Jenny because of Stephanie. He was in a difficult


    position, stuck between his good friend and his crush.


    Paul scoffed and said, “No woman has rejected me before. Do you think I can let this go?”

    “Is that all?” Alec didn’t believe his words.


    “Yes.” Paul nodded with certainty.


    Alec shook his head hopelessly. “Whatever. Just don’ty a finger on Jenny, or our friendship’s over.”


    “You have my word,” Paul promised.


    Alec went back into the hospital after seeing Paul off. At the same time, Jenny returned from going with


    Stephanie. She thanked Alec upon seeing him.


    “You don’t have to thank me. I didn’t help much.” Alec felt a little guilty. “I’ve known Paul for many


    years. You can say he’s one of my few friends.”


    “I know. That’s why I need to thank you.” Jenny was grateful to him for not siding with Paul. She


    understood his feelings well. Had the same thing happened to Stephanie, she might not bring herself to


    go against her friend as Alec did.


    “If you’re worried about Stephanie, why don’t you ask her to go into hiding? Don’t let Paul find her.”


    Alec


    knew Paul very well. If Paul said he wouldn’t give up, he meant it.


    Jenny shook her head in defeat. “She won’t leave.”


    Not only was Stephanie not the type to run from her problems, but she also had to worry about her


    parents, who lived in Parrington. What would they do without her? What if Paul harassed them?


    “I’ll try my best to talk some sense into Paul. As for Stephanie, you should tell her to be careful. She


    shouldn’t provoke him.” Alec was uneasy with the situation. Knowing Paul’s stubborn and vengeful


    nature, he worried that something bad might happen if Stephanie provoked him.
