Chapter 1245 Giving You a Chance
“Do you dare to do it? Come on! What’re you waiting for?’ Paul looked at her and urged, “I killed Leonard, and if you want to avenge him, today’s your only chance.’
Stephanie gritted her teeth and walked up to him again. Holding the knife tightly, she warned, ’Don’t force me!’
“Am I forcing you? I’m giving you a chance. Haven’t you always wanted to be free? Now is your chance.” Paul looked at her without any intention of dodging her blow.
He thought that maybe it would be good to die in her hands like this. The harm he’d caused her would ultimately dissipate with his death. In the next life, he would come back to find her and treat her well.
Stephanie held the knife, knowing that if she continued to push the knife into him, Paul would really die. She hated him so very much, but now, she couldn’t do it. She despised herself; she hated herself, but it was meaningless. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
After a long time, she finally let go of the knife and looked at him coldly. ’I hate you, but I won’t become like you. I’ll find the evidence to give you the punishment you deserve.”
If she killed Paul that day, with Jenny’s influence and connections, she would be able to walk away unscathed. But then, she wouldn’t be any different from Paul if she did that. She thought that Leonard wouldn’t want her to become someone like that. A righteous person like him would want her to punish Paul through legal means.
Stephanie left, but Paul was still lying on the ground. He looked at the ceiling and laughed as tears flowed from his eyes uncontrollably.
Perhaps he had really lost her completely.
At night, Jenny and Alec had just come out of the police station when Alec received a call informing him that something had happened to Paul.
“Jenny, Stephanie went to find Paul,” Alec said.
Upon hearing that, Jenny instantly knew why Stephanie had been so calm before. She probably thought that Leonard’s incident was related to Paul, so she went to find him.
“We should hurry over there. If we’re late, who knows what might happen,’ Jenny expressed her concern, thinking of Stephanie’s calmness earlier and feeling uneasy inside.
Alec glanced at her and said, “Well, something has already happened. Stephanie stabbed Paul, and he’s already been sent to the hospital.”
Jenny was stunned and couldn’t believe it. “Steph…”
“Let’s go to the hospital first,” Alec suggested. He didn’t know what else to say.
Jenny didn’t say much and followed Alec to the hospital. In the hospital ward, Paul didn’t seem to have any major problems, but he was in a bad mood. After they entered, he didn’t speak or even look at them.
Alec was worried and approached him while asking, “Are you okay?’
“I’m fine.” Paul snapped out of his trance and smiled at Alec. But this smile was so forced and ugly that he was better off crying.
“What happened exactly? How could Stephanie suddenly…” Alec didn’t finish his sentence. He saw Paul’s face turn even paler; Stephanie’s name was obviously too much for him to bear at the moment.
After a while, Paul finally recovered from his daze. “What could it be? She probably thinks I’m the one responsible for Leonard’s disappearance.”
“Did you do it?” It was Jenny who asked the question. In fact, she also suspected it was him.
Paul glanced at her but didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at Alec and asked, “What do you think?”
Alec’s face darkened. He looked at Jenny and said, “It’s not him. I know he didn’t do it.”
Jenny pursed her lips. She didn’t believe what Paul said, but she trusted Alec’s words.
“Since it’s not you, you should talk to her and clear things up. How did it get so out of hand?” Even though Jenny wasn’t present at the scene, judging from Paul’s injuries, they must have had a serious quarrel.
