To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 281

Chapter 281 Killing Her Wasn’t My Plan

Marigold was most afraid of Paul since she was a child. Under his scrutiny, she tensed up and held her breath. “Killing her wasn’t my plan.” She lowered her gaze and dodged his eyes.

“Not your plan? But the speed at which you charged at me seemed to say otherwise. You didn’t look like you would spare me.” Jenny was slightly terrified after she checked the surveillance footage of the incident. Had it not been for Alec’s timely appearance, she could’ve lost her life.

Marigold wanted to retort but held her tongue when she sensed Paul’s sharp gaze. “I planned to brake the car right in front of you as a scare. But the brake wasn’t working, and that scared the heck out of me as well.”

“Do you think that sounds believable?” Jenny stared at Marigold in disbelief.

Marigold gritted her teeth. If Paul weren’t around, she wouldn’t have wasted her time responding to Jenny’s interrogation. “Believe it or not, it’s all up to you. I never intended to kill you,” she scoffed and lay back on the bed, giving up and pretending to fall asleep.

Paul looked at Jenny. “She won’t lie in my presence. Moreover, he believed that Marigold wasn’t bold enough to plot a murder, and she must have been telling the truth about her intention to scare Jenny.

Jenny, however, pursed her lips. She understood that Marigold wasn’t the type to kill, but she was hard- pressed to believe in the coincidence.

“Her car’s still around. You can open an investigation into it,” Paul suggested.
