Chapter 204 Mr. Zackary Acted Spoiled towards Penelope
"Penelope, for the sake of being a chicken, you've abandoned all sense of propriety, integrity, and human dignity, haven't you?!"
Zackary's words became increasingly offensive, and Penelope could no longer bear it, "Zackary, you're sick!"
"Don't say that there was nothing between Mr. Murray and me. Even if there was something, it's none of your business!"
"Penelope, you are my woman!" Zackary, like a beast driven to the edge of a cliff, was filled with rage and tinged with the panic of fear of loss.
"Your woman?!" Penelope sneered, her lips curling in mockery. "Ha! Mr. Spencer, are you sure you're not joking?!"
"You said I was your woman, on what grounds did you say that?! Because you were my ex-boyfriend, my ex-husband, or because you were Lola's man, the father of her deceased child?!"
"Mr. Spencer, I am not your woman. I don't know how many times I have to say it for you to understand. There is no relationship between us anymore!"
"Marriage, weddings, even birth, aging, sickness, and death, I, Penelope, have absolutely no relation to you, Mr. Spencer!"
Why?
Listening to Penelope's firm and decisive words, Zackary suddenly lost the strength to continue being angry.
And Penelope was not in the mood to waste any more time with him here. She left money for the bill, turned around, and staggered towards the exit of the shop.
The biting wind blew on her face, and Penelope subconsciously touched her face.
She found it extremely funny. The wind blew, which should have dried her face, but her face was actually made wet by the wind.
She was reluctant to admit it, but in fact, she had shed tears.
She despised her own weakness, but tears were such difficult things to control. They fell carelessly, like a floodgate had been opened, impossible to close no matter what.
She thought, her weakness tonight must have been because there were too many beautiful memories of her and Zackary here.
The him in her deep memories was too good, the him in reality, too cruel. His sudden arrival left her devastated.
The piercing car lights shone on her face, and Penelope instinctively covered her face. Unexpectedly, the speed of the car suddenly increased, and it was ruthlessly charging towards her.
As the Audi A8 approached, Penelope saw the face of the person in the driver's seat.
Pennie.
"Penelope!"
Zackary quickly stepped forward, he fiercely embraced Penelope and rolled, dodging, but was still hit by the speeding Audi A8.
However, he was agile and quick to react, so his injuries were not severe, only his arm hurt badly. Penelope in his arms was completely unharmed.
Pennie was in a bad mood tonight, driving aimlessly around, never expecting to run into her arch-enemy, Penelope, here.
Evil was born from the heart, and suddenly she wanted to kill Penelope, to make this person she hated the most, completely disappear from the world.
However, she never expected that Zackary would suddenly rush out and save Penelope.
She ran into Penelope tonight, purely by accident. She hadn't made any prior disguises. She didn't know if Zackary had seen her face clearly. However, if she continued to foolishly stand here, she definitely wouldn't be able to leave tonight!
Pennie didn't dare to delay even for a moment. She slammed on the gas, and the Audi A8 sped off towards a corner.
Zackary's face was so somber that not a hint of brightness could be seen, he saw Pennie's face.
Before, when Pennie had repeatedly harmed Penelope, he had already wanted to teach her a harsh lesson. Now, she even dared to threaten Penelope's life, unforgivable!
Everett came out later than Zackary, watching the Audi A8 speeding away, his face was also extremely ugly.
He silently noted down the license plate number, planning to harshly punish the car owner.
"Penelope, are you hurt?" Zackary's anger hadn't subsided, but he was more concerned about Penelope's well-being. He decided that a good man doesn't fight with a woman, so he wouldn't argue with her for now.
"I'm fine. Mr. Spencer, thank you." Penelope said coldly, struggling out of Zackary's arms.
In fact, she was somewhat worried about Zackary's health. She had just noticed that he had been hit hard. However, their relationship was too strained, and she couldn't bring herself to express her concern.
"Mr. Murray, I'm sorry for inviting you to dinner tonight and causing you such discomfort. I'll leave first, you should also go home and rest early."
"Penelope, I'll take you home!" Everett grabbed Penelope's hand, speaking assertively.
"Penelope, how dare you!" Zackary didn't back down, grabbing her other hand, "I'll take you!"
Penelope broke free from their grip with a cool laugh, "Mr. Murray, Mr. Spencer, you two should go back together, I won't be accompanying you!"
Just as a taxi happened to pass by, Penelope quickly hailed it and got in.
The air conditioning was on in the taxi, making it somewhat stuffy, but sitting in the car, Penelope found a rare sense of calm within herself.
Dealing with men was truly exhausting, Penelope really hoped that she wouldn't have to deal with men incessantly in her life anymore!
The taxi driver was very talkative, chatting with Penelope about everything under the sun. It was almost like hypnosis, and in the end, she was almost falling asleep.
After getting off the car, Penelope stretched lazily. She decided not to take a bath when she got home, but to soak her feet and go straight to sleep.
Penelope was happily looking forward to a foot soak, but as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the small apartment, she saw Zackary standing there like a door god.
Penelope really hadn't expected Zackary to come so quickly. Seeing the living person in front of her, she was greatly startled.
"Mr. Spencer, good dogs don't stand in the way! Please move, don't block me from opening the door!"
"Penelope!"
Zackary's eyes still held a deep red hue. He took a step forward, forcefully pinning her against the door.
"Penelope, who made you hurt Lola like this!"
Penelope laughed. So, he was standing so anxiously at her doorstep to confront her?
"Mr. Spencer, I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you meant by that."
"Penelope, don't play dumb with me! It was you who released that video that hurt Lola! Penelope, how could you be so malicious, intent on ruining Lola!"
Penelope's heart fluttered slightly, but she regained her composure in an instant.
That matter, she indeed didn't handle it discreetly enough. Given Zackary's ability, it was quite normal for him to find out.
She had no intention of defaulting either, the smile on her face remained impeccably perfect.
"Yes, Mr. Spencer, I indeed wanted to ruin Lola! You know, I'm a person with a wicked heart and ruthless hands, I even dreamt of putting this little white flower, Lola, to death!"
"Penelope!"
Thinking of the terrible things Penelope had done, Zackary wished he could flay her alive. However, he tragically discovered that even if she was irredeemably bad, he still couldn't bring himself to cold-heartedly push her away.
He hated her, yet loved her more.
Penelope thought that Zackary's furious roar meant he was going to torment her madly.
She didn't have time to indulge his madness, she forcefully pushed him away, turned around, and intended to leave.
Who would have known, in the next second, Zackary had tightly embraced her from behind. He didn't break her neck, nor did he roar in anger. Instead, he spoke in a voice that carried a hint of pitiful pleading, "Penelope, I just got hurt, my arm hurts a lot."
