Chapter 280 You’re Hopeless
Hearing that, she almost giggled at Paul’s hubris. “Did Alec tell you that I’m petty?” Smiling, she looked
him in the eye and said coldly, “What if I told you I wanted to make her pay? What will you do to me?”
Paul’s expression sank. A murderous gleam flashed across his eyes. “You’d better not challenge me.”
“Paul Wagner!” Stephanie was at her limits and jumped out to shield Jenny. “If you dare lay a finger on
her, I’ll fight you!”
“Get out of my way. This is none of your business.” Paul was seething, but Stephanie stood her ground,
determined to give her all.
Jenny pulled her aside and smiled. “Don’t worry. He can’t do anything to me.” She looked at Paul, hoping

appalling doings.”
He merely smirked without care. “You’re too naive. After the last incident, your evidence is no longer
effective. Why don’t you try to bring it on?” He would never let Jenny hold evidence against him. Since
he had erased the evidence early on, he had nothing to fear.
She was unsurprised to hear that. “Oh, is that so? No wonder you’re so confident.”
He replied, “I’ll give you one last chance to make an offer.”
When Stephanie saw that Jenny seemed to be considering his words, she got anxious that Jenny might
agree to Paul’s demand.
Amid the tense confrontation, Alec entered the room and instantly picked up on the tension. He quickly
scanned the faces of Paul and Jenny, and he understood the reason. Walking up to Jenny, he glared at
Paul. “I’m warning you. Be nice to Jenny.”
Paul chuckled. “Alec, you’re putting your chick before your friends.”
“I almost got into huge trouble because I helped you last time. I won’t help you this time around.” Alec
stood firmly on Jenny’s side.
Flabbergasted, Paul stared at the two. “Okay, I admit that it’s Marigold’s fault this time. How about I get
her to apologize and compensate you for the damage? You don’t have to send her to jail. She’s so
young!”
With Alec’s help, he might stand a chance to save Marigold from serving time. His attitude softened a
little. Plus, Marigold was one of the few family members who were close to him. If he failed to even

Alec looked at Jenny and waited for her to speak. Still, she couldn’t let this go. She turned to Marigold. “I
don’t understand at all. Why would you be angry at me just because Gilbert doesn’t like you? Do you
need to take my life for that?”
“Gilbert would have fallen for me if you didn’t stand in the way.” Marigold looked pitiful.
Jenny snickered at the ridiculous idea. “You’re hopeless.” Then, she turned to Paul. “She’s your little
sister. Don’t you think there’s something wrong with her head? If I were you, I would make her serve her
sentence. Perhaps, she’ll be a bit wiser when she’s released.”
Paul was definitely upset when Jenny humiliated his sister. To him, that was akin to offending the whole
Wagner Family’s name, but he held back and didn’t refute her. Instead, he said to Marigold, “I wonder
how you had the guts to plan a murder.”
