Chapter 120 Penelope, A Debt Paid in Blood!
Kemp was holding Pennie in the back seat, Jaxson was driving, and Penelope was sitting in the passenger seat.
Through the rearview mirror, Penelope could clearly see that Kemp's face, with its soft contours, had been completely covered by ice.
She was somewhat angry at Kemp, who had become completely unreasonable now, but after all, he was the Kemp who had once supported her through life and death for four years. She didn't want, she was almost dying, and there was such a big misunderstanding between them.
She subconsciously wanted to explain to Kemp, her lips moved, but she swallowed back the words that had reached her mouth.
An explanation without evidence would only make Kemp angrier.
She turned her face, looking at Jaxson, "Jaxson, could you please stop the car for a moment, I need to go back to the shop. The shop is so big, there must be surveillance. I didn't push Pennie, I will use the surveillance to prove my innocence."
"Ms. Sullivan, this..."
Jaxson didn't dare to make a decision on his own. He turned his face, glanced at the icy cold Kemp, waiting for his command.
"Innocent?"
The usually silent-as-water Kemp finally spoke up, "Penelope, I saw with my own eyes you pushing Penny down the stairs. How could you possibly be innocent?!"
"Mr. Hunter, I didn't! It was Pennie who fell down the stairs herself! If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance in the shop!" Penelope was really speechless with Kemp, she really didn't know, which eye of his saw her pushing Pennie down the stairs.
"Penelope, even now, you dare to make excuses?! You'd better pray that Penny and the child in her womb are safe and sound, otherwise, I will make sure you pay in blood for what you've done!"
Penelope was so angry that her eyelids were twitching. She truly felt that talking to Kemp was like playing the lute to a cow, so she didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore. All she wanted to do was to quickly find a way to get the surveillance footage to prove her innocence.
This branch of Wonder was located in the city center, very close to the hospital. Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Penelope really didn't want to go to the hospital with them, but Jaxson guarded her like a door god, she couldn't even run away if she wanted to.
Penelope was so angry that she wanted to call the police, but considering Kemp's influence, she figured she would probably be the one to end up in trouble even if she did report him. So, she dismissed the idea.
Penelope's brain had never stopped working, she racked her brains, trying to figure out how to prove that she had been framed by Pennie.
Now, even if she returned to that branch store, it was estimated that the staff in the store would not casually let her view the store's surveillance.
She had to think of other ways.
The place, Wonder, was founded by Cornelia and her friends years ago. As long as she could get in touch with Cornelia, she would definitely be able to obtain that surveillance footage.
She didn't have Cornelia's contact information, but she had met Isabella before, who had enthusiastically added her on WeChat. She could ask her for help.
With that thought, Penelope quickly sent a message to Isabella.
"Isabella, I ran into some trouble and I need your help."
Isabella could arguably be the most popular female celebrity domestically, with top-tier popularity. Penelope knew that she must be very busy and probably wouldn't be able to reply to her message for quite some time.
Who would have known, almost immediately, she received a reply from Isabella.
"Penelope, what happened to you? Speak up, please! I'm so anxious when you don't say anything!"
Penelope's heart fluttered softly, Zackary was cold and indifferent, but his family, they were truly warm.
"Isabella, I wanted the surveillance footage from the second floor of the branch on Royal Street today. I was framed, and I wanted to use that footage to prove my innocence."
"Penelope, were you framed?! Which seductive wench framed you?! Tell me, I'll help you make her doubt her existence!"
Looking at the message from Isabella, filled with a string of exclamation marks, Penelope could almost imagine how vivid her expression must be at that moment. She couldn't help but smile.
"Isabella, I was fine, as long as I had that surveillance footage, no one could frame me."
Seeing that Penelope was unwilling to reveal the bad guy, Isabella didn't press further. It had been a long time since she had torn apart a white lotus with her bare hands, and her hands were itching uncomfortably.
"Alright, I'm going to get that surveillance footage for you right now! Penelope, don't worry, we'll keep in touch. No one can mess with our family, the Lymans, just like that!"
Looking at the name "Lyman" on the phone screen, Penelope's eyes welled up with tears, almost spilling over.
Penelope was relieved.
In this world, not everyone was like Lola, heartless, ungrateful, and indifferent to their kin. There were also people like her, deeply missing Lyman.
Soon, Isabella sent another message.
"Penelope, I just called and asked, the cameras on the second floor of that store were broken, the manager forgot to have them fixed. Penelope, I'm sorry, I couldn't get the surveillance for you, but I will think of other ways."
Upon seeing Isabella's response, Penelope's eyes couldn't help but dim.
Isabella was willing to help, she was truly grateful, but she knew in her heart that without surveillance, there was simply no other way to prove her innocence.
"Isabella, it's okay, thank you. The innocent will always be innocent, I will also find other ways to prove my innocence."
Just after Penelope had replied to Isabella, the doors to the emergency room suddenly swung open.
As soon as he saw the doctor come out, Kemp rushed up eagerly, "How is Penny?!"
The doctor was taken aback by Kemp's terrifying demeanor, instinctively stepping back, "Mr...Mr. Hunter, Ms. Rogers is temporarily out of danger, but, the child in her womb, couldn't be saved."
"Still... still there..."
"What else?!"
"Also... Ms. Rogers... this time... this miscarriage caused severe bleeding, her uterus was seriously damaged, and... and she will never be able to conceive again!"
"What?!" Kemp grabbed the doctor's collar, "Say that again?!"
The doctor's voice was noticeably trembling with fear, but he dared not remain silent. He stuttered and repeated, "Ms... Ms. Rogers can... can never get pregnant again!"
Kemp was staring intently at the doctor in front of him. Just when the doctor thought he was about to tear him apart, he suddenly let go of his collar.
The doctor, as if pardoned, hastily had the patient sent to the ward for proper care.
Like in slow motion, Kemp slowly turned around, his gaze that fell on Penelope was incredibly sharp and chillingly cold.
He stared at her intensely, with a deep-seated hatred, "Penelope, you've ruined Penny, you've killed my child, how are you going to pay for this?!"
Penelope didn't have a peculiar fondness for being unfairly blamed. She lifted her chin in her own defense, "Kemp, Pennie deliberately fell down the stairs. She's the one who harmed your child. If you really want to settle scores, it should be with her!"
"Penelope, could you repeat that for me?!"
Kemp was like a provoked beast, his hand tightly gripping Penelope's neck, "Who should pay this debt?!"
