To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 A Life for a Life

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 Alec into their angry comments. Some even found Jenny’s address and said they would make sure justice was served.

Jenny woke up in the morning, oblivious to what was happening. She had her breakfast and prepared to head out to find Gilbert. Although she believed in them, this was her problem. She had to do something, at least.

She went to the gate and realized that many people had gathered behind it. Before she could react, someone walked up to her and roared, “You murderer!”

“A life for a life!”

“That’s right, a life for a life! Do you think you’re invincible just because someone’s backing you up?”

They surrounded her, each wearing fierce expressions as if Jenny was some heinous criminal.

She swept her gaze over them and understood what was happening. However, she wasn’t angry. “Not even the police dare to say that I’m à murderer. What right do you guys have?”

“How could you have walked free if it weren’t for Alec Faust?” Someone sneered. He was a broad man, and he domineered over Jenny.
