Chapter 1246 What's There to Explain?
Paul snorted coldly. "Explain? What's there to explain? She had it in her mind that I was
responsible! Even if I explain, will she believe me?"
Jenny fell silent. The fact was just as Paul had said. Even if he explained, Stephanie might
not believe him.
"Okay, you take care of your injuries. I'll handle this matter," Alec spoke up. At this point,
the only way to resolve everything was to find Leonard.
Paul leaned against the headboard, sneering, ’I hope that Sullivan guy is really dead."
"I suggest you better not think that way," Jenny advised. Even if Leonard had an accident,
even if it was eventually discovered that Paul wasn't involved, Stephanie might still not
believe it. Unfortunately, at this point, Paul no longer cared whether Stephanie believed
him or not. He fervently wished for Leonard's demise.
Jenny didn't stay at the hospital any longer. She and Alec handled the matter separately-
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtone stayed at the hospital, and the other went to find Stephanie.
At that moment, Stephanie was eagerly contacting the police station. She wanted to know
where Leonard had been taken and wanted to find him herself. Fortunately, Jenny arrived
in time. If she'd been any later, Stephanie might have already boarded a plane and left
Bardoff City.
"Steph!" Jenny caught up to Stephanie, panting.
Seeing her, Stephanie was surprised and asked, "Jenny, why are you here? Is there news
about Leonard?"
"Yeah, the Walters and Fausts have sent people to search for him. There will be news soon.
Just wait patiently. You should make sure you don't get into trouble yourself."
With that, Jenny dragged her back home. She didn't want Stephanie to have another
incident while looking for news about Leonard-that would be counterproductive.
Stephanie didn't resist. In fact, she knew that even if she went, she would probably not be
able to locate Leonard. She could only pin her hopes on Jenny and Alec. With their help,
they should be able to find him soon.
Jenny escorted Stephanie back home, and the two chatted for a long time in the bedroom.
"Did you go to see Paul?" Jenny hesitated for a moment before asking.
Stephanie nodded. Jenny was not surprised when she confirmed it. "I suspect that
Leonard's accident is related to him," Stephanie said.
"Steph, it wasn't Paul who did it," Jenny said, explaining to Stephanie, who looked
bewildered. "Alec and I went to the police station to get more details. This time, the ones
who targeted Leonard were a criminal gang he'd been tracking. Those people felt too
pressured by him and decided to take a risk by kidnapping him."
After hearing her explanation, Stephanie felt a little dazed. "It.Jt wasn't Paul who did it?"
she thought as her eyes widened incredulously. But... when I confronted him, he didn't
deny it," Stephanie replied, her confidence waning.
While it was true that Paul didn't deny it, did it mean he did it? Stephanie pursed her lips,
and she felt her stomach drop.

"He's at the hospital," Jenny said to her. Although she didn't like Paul, Stephanie was in the
wrong this time. Moreover, she was afraid that Paul would pursue the matter. Jenny
thought that if Stephanie could visit him, there shouldn't be any further complications
from the incident.
Stephanie understood what Jenny meant but chose to shake her head. "I'm not going to
see him. Even if he didn't do it this time, he definitely had the intention to do so. So, I
don't think he's innocent."
"Steph..."
"Jenny, do you have any leads on Leonard?" Stephanie interrupted her, not wanting to
hear anything about Paul.
Jenny was helpless and stopped mentioning him. "We have a few leads now. The police
and our people have gone over, so we should be able to find him soon."
This time, the police force, as well as the Fausts and Walters, attached great importance to
the matter. As a consequence, the group of criminals was left with no chance to escape.
