Chapter 117 Give Me an Explanation

The event was reaching its end, and Jenny finally relaxed. This kind of setting didn’t suit her, so she

would have to avoid them in the future if she could.

However, hadn’t her brother said he would attend? Where was he?

Jenny looked around for Gilbert and Zack, but found neither. Just as she was about to give up, she

caught sight of a familiar face.

Sobering, she got up and walked over.

When Jenny caught her, Stephanie had been carefully avoiding the crowd. She had nearly no presence

at all, so she was in disbelief when she was caught.

She had been so careful. How was it that she was still discovered?

Jenny had no clue what was running around in Stephanie’s head. She patted the other woman’s

shoulder and said unpleasantly, “Steph Walker, please explain.”

She was done for. Jenny was furious. Only when Jenny was mad would she call Stephanie “Steph

Walker.” Stephanie was stiff as she turned around. Faced with Jenny’s thunderous expression, she said

with an awkward chuckle, “I rushed here after finishing up at the office.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Jenny’s eyebrows shot up. Her voice was light, highlighting her doubt in the

truthfulness of Stephanie’s words.

“That’s right.” Stephanie nodded seriously.

Jenny rolled her eyes and pulled Stephanie into a less crowded corner. “What in the world are you up to?

Tell me honestly.”

She had already cottoned onto Stephanie’s unusual behavior, but she never took it to heart, assuming

she was just overthinking. Now, however, she was sure that Stephanie was hiding something from her.

Stephanie clamped her lips shut, quieting down in a rare show of restraint.

It was true that Stephanie had been through a lot lately and was greatly bothered by it. But she couldn’t

tell all this to Jenny. She knew what Jenny was like, how she wouldn’t stand for those around her to be

hurt. If she found out about what had happened, Jenny would surely go after the perpetrator.

The thing was…

That person was not just anyone. No one in Parrington could afford to offend that guy. Stephanie had

even heard that he was Alec Faust’s friend. In such a situation, she could hardly let Jenny find out.

“Tell me!”

Jenny’s face was solemn. She was worried to bits at how Stephanie was keeping mum. Something had

definitely happened.

Stephanie jumped at Jenny’s cry. Miffed, she said, “It’s nothing. My dad’s company has been really busy

recently, so I’ve been swamped.”

“Stephanie, do you think I’m stupid?” Jenny said coldly. It was obvious that she was truly angered.

Stephanie felt helpless. She let out a sigh and said, “I met a man recently.”

“A man?” Jenny’s voice was shrill, her tone full of disbelief.

Stephanie hadn’t been with any kind of man ever since breaking up with her ex-boyfriend three years

ago.

“Shh!” Stephanie motioned for Jenny to lower her volume. Then, she said, “Don’t act so shocked. So

what if I got involved with someone? Haven’t you gotten married and even divorced?”

“And who was the one who said she wanted to save herself for that scumbag?” Jenny was annoyed. She

wouldn’t be so shocked if the fact of the matter weren’t as such.

Stephanie was a little embarrassed. She barked out a laugh. “Didn’t think you’d fall for such a joke.”

Jenny looked at her without speaking.

“Alright, alright. The main thing is that I never expected to meet him.” When it came to Paul Wagner,

Stephanie’s emotions were all in a twist.

Knowing that Stephanie was acting this way because of a man, Jenny wasn’t as worried. She simply

asked, “What’s his name? Where does he live? How old is he?”

“Are you running an interrogation?” Stephanie was dumbfounded.

“I’m trying to take care of you.” After all, Stephanie was Jenny’s best friend. If some guy tricked her,

wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

Stephanie shook her head and said, “Don’t ask so much. When the time is ripe, I’ll introduce him to you.”

“When the time is ripe?”Jenny was confused by Stephanie’s turn of phrase.
