Chapter 152 Mr. Murray, Trusting Penelope

Penelope suddenly turned around, staring in disbelief at Everett who was calmly walking towards the stage. She hadn't expected that the person who chose to believe in her without hesitation was not the man she had admired for many years, nor the confidant she had depended on in life and death, but a stranger.

Everett rarely appeared in public, and Penelope didn't even know his full name.

She just felt that this man's aura was truly powerful and cold. However, she believed that beneath his icy exterior, there must be a passionate heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to clear away the heavy fog and be willing to give her his trust.

Perhaps it was due to the excessive suspicion and harm she had endured, now, when someone suddenly told her without hesitation that he believed in her, Penelope felt an overwhelming urge to cry.

She was truly a typical person who preferred the carrot to the stick. If someone gave her a little bit of sweetness, she would be overwhelmed with gratitude.

Suppressing the overwhelming urge to burst into tears, Penelope forced a big smile and said to Everett, "Sir, thank you! Thank you for believing in me! I'm glad to have met you!"

Saying this, Penelope raised her hand towards Everett. She didn't really mean anything else, it was just out of politeness, to shake hands with this stranger who had touched her somewhat.

Seeing Penelope's actions, the expression on Dawson, who was standing next to Everett, became incredibly fascinating in an instant.

The boss hated this kind of creature called women the most!

This creature called woman, he can't even stand being close to her. Although this little internet celebrity is indeed quite attractive, she actually wanted to shake hands with the boss. She was simply pulling the tiger's tail, seeking trouble for no reason!

Dawson was worrying that Penelope would be kicked to the South Pole by the ruthless boss, when he was stunned to find that his boss, who always regarded women as dangerous beasts, was actually holding Penelope's hand!

Holy shit!

What on earth possessed the boss today?!

"Boss, are you okay?" Dawson asked, looking at Everett with concern.

He remembered that there was a young lady from a noble family who was particularly infatuated with the boss. One night, the lady, known for her elegance and restraint, suddenly appeared in front of the boss and tightly embraced him. The boss forcefully pushed her away, almost vomiting bile.

Dawson was worried about his eldest's stomach.

Everett, however, didn't even glance at Dawson. He was just in a daze, gently holding Penelope's hand.

Her hands, like her feet, were really tiny, probably not even half the size of his hand.

Soft, as if boneless, it made him unable to resist the urge to tightly clasp it in his palm, refusing to let go.

Everett thought so, and he really did it. However, his grip was too strong, causing Penelope's hand to hurt a bit, and she subconsciously let out a low moan.

Hearing her voice, Everett suddenly came back to his senses. He lessened the force in his hands and spoke to her with an inscrutable look in his eyes.

"Penelope, welcome to being the spokesperson for Throne!"

Penelope was taken aback, she really hadn't expected that the dignified man standing before her would actually be from the gaming company.

However, for her, this was truly an unexpected surprise, unbelievable, that the people from the game company were actually willing to trust her.

In this way, Lola and Pennie could forget about snatching this endorsement from her hands.

Penelope was really happy.

The only downside was that she felt a chilling gaze locked onto the back of her hand, causing it to ache a bit.

She turned around and sure enough, Zackary was staring at her with a cold expression.

That look, as if his wife had cheated on him, turning him into a vast green field.

Penelope moved her lips, silently mouthing the word "Lunatic!" to Zackary.

Zackary was so angry that he exploded on the spot.

"What? Penelope is still the spokesperson for Throne?!" Madelyn couldn't stand this outcome, she shouted excitedly, "What do you mean by this? Penelope is kept by someone with a heavy taste, and she even stole Penny's things. Using a small internet celebrity with such a serious lack of morality as a spokesperson, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the whole network?!"

Madelyn actually dared to be so arrogant in front of Everett, which inevitably made Dawson's face look somewhat unpleasant.

He was about to scold Madelyn, when Jett took a step forward and stood in front of Penelope, "Penelope, I won't allow you to endorse Throne! Our sponsorship agreement states that you must have my permission to work outside!"

"What if you become famous and want to break the contract?! Penelope, I've spent so much money on you, I won't give you another chance to break the contract!"

"Penelope, come back with me now! I want you now, you must return immediately to serve me!"

Saying so, Jett reached out to pull Penelope's arm.

However, before his lecherous hands could even touch Penelope's body, his body, like a sack of sand, was fiercely thrown out by Everett.

Jett was most concerned about his image in front of women. With so many beauties in this hall, how could he bear to make such a fool of himself!

At that moment, he was so angry that he jumped up from the ground. He pointed at Everett and cursed loudly, "Who the hell are you, kid?! Do you know who I am?! I'll scare you to death if I tell you!"

Bryson couldn't wait to show his loyalty in front of his own CEO. He slapped Jett's hand away, "Dare to shout at our Mr. Murray, are you tired of living?!"

Mr. Murray...

In this world, there was only one person who could be called Mr. Murray.

Everett, the sole heir of the Murray Group in Europe.

Madelyn quietly reapplied her lip gloss, putting on her sweetest and most gentle demeanor, constantly winking at Everett.

Thinking back to how she had been so brash in front of the renowned Mr. Murray, she regretted it so much that she almost wanted to bite her own tongue off. She could only hope that her current behavior could salvage some of her image points.

The remaining female stars in the hall had also heard of Everett's fame, but had never seen him in person. They too secretly touched up their makeup, hoping to leave him with the most beautiful impression.

"Mr. Murray..." Jett was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. He wanted to say something, to make up for his previous behavior.

However, Everett didn't even glance at him. He reluctantly let go of Penelope's little hand, turned his face, and looked at Zackary who was sitting in the front row, "Zackary, long time no see."

"Everett, hope you've been well," Zackary said to Everett, but his gaze was fixed on Penelope's small face all along.

Madelyn put down the small mirror in her hand, and after ensuring her makeup was flawless, she tilted her chin up forty-five degrees, speaking softly to Everett in her most beautiful posture.

"Mr. Murray, I truly said those words for your own good. Penelope has done too many despicable things, her reputation is too bad, I'm afraid she will ruin our Throne! Mr. Murray, Throne is such a good game, it can't be destroyed in the hands of a kept thief!"

"Mr. Murray, could you reconsider the choice of spokesperson for Throne?"
