To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Cops and Robbers

Jenny left the Walkers’ house after comforting Stephanie’s parents.

The moment she stepped outside, she called Zack and Gilbert. As expected, there was no news regarding Stephanie. It was as if she had never existed-there was no trace of her anywhere.

Jenny was afraid for Stephanie. Something could have happened to her.

She thought about it for a while and called Alec, hoping to get a lead.

“Jenny.” Alec’s low voice sounded from the receiver. He sounded a little stiff, but the anxious Jenny didn’t notice.

“Have you…found anything?” Jenny asked. Her palms were sweaty. If Alec hadn’t found anything, she had no idea what to do.

Alec was silent. He didn’t wish to lie to Jenny, but at the thought of Paul, his lifelong best friend, he had no choice but to do so.

“Alec Faust?” Jenny said again, not receiving an answer. Her heart thumped hard.

Alec came back to his senses. “I’m sorry, Jenny. I found nothing.”

At once, Jenny fell into despair. If Alec couldn’t find her, who could? Just who was this person?

Jenny had a million questions in her heart, but she had to force herself to calm down. “You can’t find her?”

“Yeah.” Alec nodded, not daring to say much. Guilt washed over his heart.

“If you can’t find her, then it should be easy to figure out the other person by elimination,” she said, remembering Gilbert’s words.

Alec was quiet once more. After a long while, he said, “That might not be the case. I looked you up before and couldn’t find out you were Jenny. If he’s covering his tracks on purpose, my abilities are also limited.”

“How did you know about me in the end?” Jenny asked.

Alec bit his lip. He felt that he shouldn’t have said anything.

“It was Paul Wagner who found you out. He’s better at this than I am.” He felt remorseful. He shouldn’t have brought this up.

It was as if Jenny had found a lifeline. She said at once, “Could you ask Paul to help me look for Stephanie? He should be able to find something out easily.”

How could Alec respond to that? Tell the criminal to play cops and robbers?

“Could you ask him to help me, Alec Faust?” Jenny begged. Alec had no defenses for when she did that.

He felt helpless. “Alright. I’ll ask him to help.”

“Thank you,” Jenny thanked him sincerely. She had no other leads.

After hanging up, Jenny didn’t go home. She went to Gilbert’s villa and tracked surveillance cameras with Zack. She believed that the cameras could tell them something.

But Alec was exasperated and had to call Paul once more. “Jenny wants me to ask you for help. What do you think of that?”

“Sure. Just give me some time, and I’ll give Stephanie back to her.” Paul laughed. How amusing. Jenny had resorted to him for help.

“Don’t go overboard,” Alec reminded. He couldn’t help feeling worried.

“Don’t worry. I won’t drag you down with me. If something does happen, you can pin the blame on me,” Paul said. He didn’t want to affect Alec’s and Jenny’s relationship.

Alec sighed, an ominous feeling dwelling in his chest. “You know that’s not what I’m worried about. It’s you.”

“Me? What’s there to worry about me?” Paul laughed, as if he didn’t understand what Alec meant. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Is that so? It’d better be that way.” Alec hung up. Paul’s face had already darkened; it was an intimidating. sight.
