To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) -
Chapter 1243 What Kind of Person Am I?
After the call ended, Jenny couldn't calm down. "Steph was too calm just now."
Hearing her words, Alec felt helpless. "Maybe it's because she knows that Leonard will be alright."
"No, something's not right." When Stephanie couldn't contact Leonard, she was distraught. But now that she knew he was missing and his whereabouts were unknown, she was eerily calm-it was abnormal.
Alec had returned to the kitchen to continue cooking. He said to Jenny, "Don't think too much about it for now. Let's eat and then go to the police station."
"Okay," Jenny agreed. She also felt that they should go and check out what was going on.
Meanwhile, Stephanie put away her phone and smiled bitterly. She left her home and quickly arrived at the gate of a villa. She walked up and knocked on the door.
The door was opened by a maid who looked confused. "Who are you looking for?"
"Is Paul here?" Stephanie spoke calmly, but the tone of her voice was very intimidating.
The maid frowned. "Do you have an appointment?"
Stephanie shook her head and said, "Just tell him that Stephanie is looking for him."
The maid was still doubtful, but seeing Stephanie's calm demeanor, she didn't dare to offend her and reported her presence to her employer.
Soon, the maid came out again with a smile on her face. "Miss Walker, please come in. Mr. Wagner is waiting for you in the living room."
Stephanie went in, ignoring her gaze, and proceeded straight to the living room.
Paul was sitting on a chair in the living room. When he saw her come in, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. "What now? Do you regret leaving me?" Stephanie didn't say a word. She walked straight toward Paul and stood in front of him.
"It's not that easy to come back to me. Let me tell you—"
A loud smack reverberated through the room, and Paul's words became stuck in his throat. He couldn't believe that Stephanie had hit him!
"Stephanie!" The next second, he was furious. He grabbed Stephanie by the neck and pinned her against the wall.
Stephanie didn't plead for mercy but looked at him frostily. "Where is Leonard?"
Paul, who was already furious, became even more enraged when he heard that. "Why did you come to me to replace him? Stephanie, is there something wrong with your brain?"
"Paul, I know you're unhappy, but that's between you and me. It has nothing to do with Leonard. Let him go, and I promise to do whatever you want," Stephanie iterated calmly, devoid of any anger. Paul frowned and quickly guessed the truth from Stephanie's words.
"Why do you think his disappearance has anything to do with me?" Paul was angry and felt a little aggrieved. He'd threatened to take action against Leonard, but he hadn't actually done anything. Now, it seemed that even if he didn't do anything, Stephanie would still think it was him who caused Leonard's disappearance.
Stephanie sneered and asked, "Who else could it be if not you? Paul, what kind of person are you? Do I need to say it out loud?"
"What kind of person am I?" Paul laughed. "Tell me, please. What kind of person am I?"
Stephanie glanced at him, her thin lips parting slightly. "Arrogant, heartless, and despicable."
She described him with three words, and none of them were flattering. It was enough to show how much Stephanie despised him.
Paul laughed at her description of him. He knew that Stephanie no longer liked him, but he didn't expect she would view him in such a way. "Stephanie, oh Stephanie, you really know how to stab me in the heart," Paul lamented inwardly.
"Where is Leonard?" Stephanie asked again. She only cared about Leonard's safety now.
Paul didn't bother to defend himself; it had never been his style to explain himself and his actions. "Why do you care about him so much? Have you fallen in love with him?"
