Chapter 150 The Mysterious Man Behind Penelope
The genuine female star, Madelyn, might have been worried about what illicit items might be hidden in this stack of papers. She subconsciously flipped through them, her brows furrowed as she read out the largest words on the paper, "Sponsorship Agreement?!"
Upon hearing Madelyn's voice, everyone on the scene simultaneously turned their gaze towards the agreement in her hands.
Madelyn enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention the most, she was eager to attract more people's attention.
She shook the stack of papers in her hand, her meticulously made-up face wearing a clear look of disdain.
She cleared her throat and continued to read the words on the agreement.
Mr. Jett Stevens paid Miss Penelope a monthly allowance of one hundred thousand, and provided her with accommodation and transportation. Mr. Jett Stevens promised that if Miss Penelope's performance was very satisfactory to him, he would consider increasing the allowance.
"The obligations that Miss Penelope should have fulfilled were as follows."
"One, to remain absolutely loyal to Mr. Jett Stevens, because Mr. Jett Stevens did not like to share a woman with other men, for fear of getting sick."
"Secondly, Miss Penelope had to cater to Mr. Jett Stevens's every need, including his preference for certain flavors that were a bit strong."
When she read this part, Madelyn deliberately emphasized the words "special request for a stronger flavor".
Everyone was an adult, and they all knew how disgusting the so-called special requests with a slightly heavier taste could be, even if they just thought about it with their toes.
The already self-important female stars looked at Penelope with even more disdain. A few of them even spat lightly in disgust, expressing their revulsion towards Penelope and their high moral standards, vowing never to stoop to the level of such a shameless woman.
Penelope stared intently at the sponsorship agreement in Madelyn's hand. She had thought that her bag would definitely contain that white jade bracelet, but she had never imagined that such a sponsorship agreement would be put into her bag.
Pennie and Lola were absolutely determined not to give her a break today!
But, she absolutely would not have done as they wished!
Madelyn's voice continued, "Third, because the allowance Mr. Jett Stevens paid to Miss Penelope was high, some props needed to be prepared by Miss Penelope herself. For example, uniforms, leather..."
Madelyn looked so disgusted that she couldn't bear to read on. She slammed the sponsorship agreement onto the stage, "So filthy! I really didn't expect that she's not only a thief, but also kept by someone! It's so damn disgusting!"
Madelyn said, holding the white jade bracelet and walking up to Pennie, "Pennie, take this bracelet back and make sure to disinfect it thoroughly! Who knows how dirty a woman kept by a man with heavy tastes could be!"
Pennie carefully took the white jade bracelet, treasuring it immensely as she placed it in her bag.
"Madelyn, thank you so much, thank you for helping me find my bracelet. However, don't speak of Penelope like that, Penelope is a good girl, she couldn't have stolen my bracelet, there must be some misunderstanding here."
"Misunderstanding?" Madelyn clearly disagreed with Pennie's words, "Catch the thief and recover the stolen goods! The stolen goods were found in her bag, what misunderstanding could there be?!"
"Penny, you're just too kind! What can such a woman, who is kept by others, understand about propriety, justice, integrity, and honor?! She only has eyes for money, and for money, she can do anything shameless! Penny, I really think this matter can't be left like this, theft, it's illegal, you should call the police, let them put this filth behind bars, so she won't be buzzing around like a fly, annoying people!"
Pennie was addicted to playing the innocent today, her voice was soft and indescribably pleasing.
"Madelyn, please stop talking about Penelope. I grew up with Penelope, I trust her character. I consider her a friend, how could she possibly take my things!"
"Penny, are you out of your mind?! You actually consider this woman, who is kept by an old man, as a friend?! This kind of woman can even sell herself, what's stealing a few things from you to her?! Penny, your kindness will be the death of you one day!" Madelyn looked at Penny with a face full of disappointment and frustration.
Pennie lowered her gaze, a picture of helplessness and disappointment. "Anyway, I don't believe Penelope would do this to me," she said.
Seeing Penelope so shameless, I already looked down on internet celebrity actresses, and I just couldn't stand it anymore.
"Heavy taste for keeping a mistress! I've heard of keeping a mistress, but this is the first time I've heard of such a unique one. Today really opened my eyes!"
"One hundred thousand in January?! One point two million a year? And I have to provide my own props, be on call anytime, this is way too cheap!"
"That lowlife could do anything for money! Who knows how she might have tried to please her sugar daddy!"
"Penny was really unlucky to have made such a friend! Who knows how many valuable things she might have stolen from her!"
"I didn't even know if she had any contagious diseases! I sat with her for so long today, I'll have to get a thorough check-up when I get back!"
***
These people, they really were getting more and more outrageous.
The game company was still there, and Pennie didn't want to lose her endorsement because of their malicious speculation.
She stepped forward, just about to explain herself properly, when Kemp's chillingly angry voice resonated in the air.
"Penelope, apologize to Penny!"
Kemp was furious, so furious that the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
He wasn't angry that Penelope had stolen Pennie's bracelet, but rather, he was upset that he would rather accept someone else's offer of a hundred thousand dollars to support her than agree to the generous terms he had initially proposed.
Ha! A sugar daddy with a bad taste?
Jett Stevens, upon hearing this name, it was just a disgusting old man. Could it be that he, Kemp, was even less than a disgusting old man in her eyes?!
The initial ecstasy of seeing her alive gradually turned into an inexpressible rage. Kemp stared intently at Penelope's pale, porcelain-like face, as if trying to burn a hole in it.
"Apologize? Mr. Hunter, you really do have a sense of humor!" The corners of Penelope's lips curled into a faint smile, indifferent, but more than that, it was mockery.
"It was the first time I had heard that the victim needed to apologize to the perpetrator! If anyone should apologize, it should be Pennie apologizing to me!"
In Penelope's shimmering eyes, a hint of sharpness gradually emerged, "Pennie, you took advantage of me changing clothes to put this kind of agreement in my bag, and even put your bracelet in there, tarnishing my reputation. You, apologize to me!"
"I..." Pennie's tears rolled down her cheeks again, aggrieved. "Penelope, what are you talking about? How could I possibly set you up intentionally? Before entering this hall, I didn't even know that you were actually still alive."
"Penelope, you really misunderstood me. I didn't even know you were still alive, how could I possibly harm you intentionally!"
"Penelope, even if you took my bracelet, I don't blame you. I know, you chose to be kept by someone, you must be short of money now. I can understand you, and I'm willing to help you. Penelope, I only ask you, can you stop targeting me in the future?"
No sooner had Pennie's words fallen than the main door of the hall was suddenly pushed open. A middle-aged man in his early fifties, with a beer belly and a bald head, squinting his triangular eyes, walked in.
"Penelope, have you finished your audition? I'm here to take you home."
