To Be Yours Again by Taylor

Chapter 283 You Can’t Lay a Finger on Her

Alec was worried that the deal would fall apart, and he advised Jenny, “Take the factory and let this slide. It won’t affect how you protect Stephanie later.”

In his opinion, protecting Stephanie was tangent to the factory deal in exchange for Marigold’s freedom. No one would agree to such conditions-not even himself. Therefore, he knew that Paul would never agree to both requests.

Jenny thought it through and agreed with Alec. What mattered most was to secure the immediate benefit. Instead of hoping that Paul would keep his promise to stay away from Stephanie, Jenny believed it was wiser to grow her power so she could better protect her friend.

“Alright. I’ll get the factory, and Marigold gets her freedom.” She nodded and sealed the deal. Worried that Paul might walk back on his words, she quickly had him draft an agreement. After they signed it, she finally allowed him to leave the hospital with Marigold.

Alec walked Paul to the hospital entrance. “It’s just a factory. Don’t take it personally,” he said, patting his friend’s shoulder.
