To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 846

After hanging up on Jolene, Jenny immediately dialed James' number without any delay.

The call took a while to connect, and James' voice came through, saying, "Jenny, why are you calling so late? What's the matter?"

At James' question, Jenny didn't know what to say for a moment and fell into silence.

"Jenny?" James called her name, sounding worried.

Taking a deep breath, Jenny decided it was best to be direct instead of beating around the bush. "James, Jolene just called me."

James' face immediately darkened upon hearing that, though Jenny couldn't see it. "She said she wants to go abroad with Rowena, but you won't let her."

"That's right. She had plotted against me, and we're not even yet. Of course I won't let her go." James tried to keep his emotions in check and not let them fluctuate too much. It wasn't worth getting emotional over a woman like Jolene.

Jenny frowned, her intuition telling her that this wasn't the real reason James was stopping Jolene from leaving. "James, that's enough. She's my sister. Just let her go."

She didn't want the two of them to continue to be in each other's lives. While Jolene thought James kept her around so that he could torment her, Jenny didn't see it that way. It was clear to her that James had other feelings for Jolene, although he hadn't realized it and thought it was pure hatred against his schemer.

Then again, Jenny could see it wasn't hatred. Based on how James and Jolene their recent interactions, she was sure James no longer held any grudge against Jolene. The anger he had felt toward her initially had dissipated over time.

James was genuinely surprised that Jenny would plead on Jolene's behalf again. "Jenny, did she threaten you again?"

"No. I think it's better for her to leave with Rowena. We won't have to see each other in the future, and it's better for us to act like she doesn't exist."
