To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) -
Chapter 80
Chapter 80 Check the Security Cameras
"Why did you force yourself to accept his apology?" Alec asked softly.
With a chuckle, Jenny answered, "Well, as you said, the Dickmans are not the Lawrences, so there's nothing I can do about it. Can I really refuse their apology?"
"I can help you," he said.
Jenny cast him a strange look, as if he were a monster, and then backed away from him. "She's your childhood sweetheart. Is it right for you to turn around and do this to her?"
"We're just friends," Alec said seriously. "She's not my childhood sweetheart."
However, Jenny didn't seem to care.
"There's no need to tell me, Mr. Faust. As I said before, it has nothing to do with me."
"Jenny-*
"Alec!" Yvonne cried, helping Steven out of the restroom. "Steven was attacked."
Steven was sporting a bruised nose on his swollen face. The swelling of his face made him look just like a pig. Jenny covered her mouth, resisting the urge to laugh aloud.
As Steven came to his senses, he pointed at Jenny and roared, "It was you! You're the one who did this to me, right?"
"What are you talking about, Mr. Dickman?" Jenny asked, blinking innocently.
Yvonne turned to look at Jenny, suspecting that she had done it. After all, she was the only one here who harbored hatred for Steven, so it was possible that she had planned this. "Stop pretending! Who else would do this to me!" he yelled, rushing over to hit her.
Alec, however, didn't allow him to lay a finger on Jenny. He stopped him and asked, "Do you have any proof she did it? If you need help clearing your mind, I don't mind giving you a hand, Steven." Though Steven wasn't afraid of Jenny, he was afraid of Alec. As soon as Alec spoke, he retreated behind Yvonne and glared at Jenny in resentment.
Swallowing her anger, Yvonne said, "Check the security cameras. The surveillance footage won't lie."
"Let's no-"
"Sure, if that's what you want." Jenny interrupted Alec calmly. She didn't appear in the least bit guilty. Alec didn't say anything else after that. He was confident that Jenny dared to say such a thing because she knew she would not be discovered. He suddenly realized that he didn't know her at all.
They approached the store manager and requested to check the surveillance footage.
The store manager dared not to refuse their request. After all, he couldn't afford to provoke either Yvonne or Alec.
The footage was played from the moment Steven entered the restroom. Everyone stared at the screen unblinkingly, waiting to see who the culprit was.
Jenny appeared in the footage. Just as Steven was about to accuse her, he noticed Jenny enter the women's restroom-no one entered the men's restroom until Alec and Yvonne rushed over.
"Impossible!" Steven yelled. If no one had entered the room, did that mean he had attacked himself?
Jenny grinned. "Is it right for you to still accuse me after watching the footage, Mr. Dickman?" she asked but was looking at Yvonne.
"Miss Walter, I hope you won't take this to heart. Perhaps Steven lost his mind after he was attacked. That may be why he is accusing you without evidence," Yvonne said after taking a deep breath to calm herself down.
"If there is something wrong with your brain, you should see a doctor soon before it's too late," Jenny suggested, chuckling.
"Yvonne!" Steven was about to say more. However, Yvonne glanced at him coldly, and he shut up instantly.
Yvonne smiled at Jenny and said, "Let me take my useless brother back. I'll treat you to a meal someday. I think it'd be nice to be friends with you, but I'm not sure if you'd give me a chance, Miss Walter."
