Chapter 154 Penelope Looked Down on Him.

"Ha!"

Kemp gave a cold laugh, his gentle face full of gloom, "Mr. Murray, can a woman who lives off being kept by men also be innocent?!"

"Mr. Murray, let me give you a piece of advice, the most deceptive thing about a woman is her face! Don't be fooled by the innocence and flawlessness it portrays!"

"I didn't believe Penelope was innocent! If she truly was, I, Kemp, would let her do as she pleased!"

"Dawson, pull up the video!" This was the sentence Everett had been waiting for from Kemp. He found it quite strange, the relationship between people. He had only met Penelope for the first time, but inexplicably, he just trusted her.

He believed that the world was muddled, but she alone was pure.

This trust, which came without reason, was something that his brain, praised by countless people as a genius, couldn't comprehend. But he found that he was enjoying it.

Dawson had always been highly efficient in handling matters. Soon, he had cut out the segment of the video from the cloakroom and copied it onto the LCD player in the hall.

The player was turned on, and the situation inside the cloakroom was displayed on the LCD screen.

At that time, Penelope was apparently changing clothes in the fitting room, her handbag was hung on the rack outside the fitting room by her.

From the LCD screen, Pennie's handbag could also be seen, which had been placed on a table to the side.

Penelope was the last one to go into the fitting room to change clothes, almost everyone had already entered the hall. The cloakroom was empty, not even a shadow in sight.

Just when everyone thought that no one would enter the cloakroom again, after Penelope came out of the fitting room, she would steal the bracelet from Pennie's bag. The slightly ajar door of the cloakroom was suddenly pushed open.

Madelyn sneaked in.

Upon seeing the image on the LCD screen, Madelyn's face changed drastically. She even forgot to maintain her surface elegance, and anxiously shouted, "Turn it off! Turn it off quickly!"

No one paid attention to her words.

Seeing the image on the LCD screen still continuing, Madelyn was almost driven to madness with anxiety.

She rose, intending to rush over and turn off the player.

However, Dawson politely but firmly stopped her, she simply couldn't get close to the LCD screen.

The people in the hall were not fools. Seeing Madelyn's reaction, they had already roughly guessed what was going on.

To confirm their suspicions, they still stared intently at the LCD screen in front of them.

After Madelyn tiptoed into the cloakroom, she made sure no one else was inside. She quickly took a bracelet out of Pennie's bag and put it into Penelope's handbag.

Everyone could clearly see from the LCD screen that when she put the white jade bracelet into Penelope's bag, she also folded a stack of papers and stuffed them into Penelope's handbag. After doing all this, she carefully zipped up Penelope's handbag.

Penelope's bag was rather large, so even when suddenly filled with so many things, it still didn't look out of the ordinary.

After coming out of the fitting room, Penelope didn't think twice and walked out of the cloakroom with her bag.

The image on the LCD screen came to an abrupt halt, but Madelyn's anxious voice continued, "It's not like this! It's not like this!"

Until the playback ended, the female stars in the hall were still staring incredulously at the gradually darkening LCD screen.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, there was an uproar of angry discussion.

"How could this be?! We were just scolding Penelope for being shameless, but it turns out the real shameless one is someone else!"

"That's outrageous! Pretending to be so righteous, but actually deliberately framing others! Disgusting! It really opened my eyes!"

"The one who should be banned is not Penelope, but shameless bugs like Madelyn! She was just sitting next to me! So disgusting!"

"Yeah, such behavior is really disgusting! Framing others to be kept by someone with heavy tastes, framing others as thieves, they're trying to ruin people!"

"Such a character indeed! The persona really is established!"

***

"No! It's not like that!" Madelyn shook her head vigorously. She did all this under Pennie's orders. She knew that she couldn't turn things around by herself now. She could only look at Pennie pleadingly.

Pennie was afraid that Madelyn would betray her. After giving her a meaningful glance, she decided to strike first.

"Madelyn, you've really disappointed me! How could you do such a thing to Penelope! Do you know, what you've done could ruin Penelope!" Pennie looked righteously indignant, "Madelyn, this time, you've really gone too far!"

"I......" Madelyn wanted to defend herself, but seeing the warning in Pennie's eyes, she wisely shut her mouth.

She didn't betray Pennie. With the help of Kemp behind Pennie, she still had a chance to turn things around. But if she betrayed Pennie, she would still be unable to clear her own stigma, and she would completely offend Pennie, making it impossible for her to turn things around.

She wanted to turn over.

So, she was willing to temporarily take on all the sewage for Pennie.

"Penelope, I'm sorry, I just thought you were too beautiful, you are my biggest competitor, I didn't want you to succeed in the audition." Madelyn lowered her head, sincerely apologizing to Penelope, "Penelope, I apologize to you, can you please forgive me this time?"

Seeing the person in the video secretly putting things into her bag, who was neither Pennie nor Lola, Penelope was not disappointed.

They were so cunning, of course they wouldn't be foolish enough to do such a thing themselves.

She felt a slight regret, but there was plenty of time ahead. She would always be able to bring them down, making sure they could never rise again.

As long as Ethan was alive, Lola and her group would not let him off easily. For the sake of Ethan's peaceful and smooth life in the future, she had to ensure that they had no more opportunities to cause trouble!

Jett originally wanted to jump around a bit, but seeing everything displayed on the LCD screen, he could only sneak under a nearby table, fearing that he would be severely beaten by Everett.

Everett had no time to deal with this rat, Jett, at the moment. After all, Dawson would naturally teach him a lesson later.

He just wanted Kemp to apologize to Penelope now.

He didn't know why he was so stubborn about this matter, but seeing Penelope being wronged, he was genuinely upset from the bottom of his heart.

He slowly withdrew his gaze from the LCD screen, his sword-like eyebrows, carved as if by a knife, furrowed tightly, "Mr. Kemp, isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise and apologize to Penelope?!"

Kemp's face was terribly gloomy, but he was not one to deny or shy away from things. He slightly lifted his eyelids, his gaze falling directly on Penelope's face.

Staring fixedly at this naturally charming little face, Kemp suddenly remembered how his heart had ached like a knife twisting inside him when he received the news of Penelope's death a month ago.

Now, seeing her again, I just felt that my past self was ridiculously foolish.

She looked down on him.

The gentle lips moved slightly, and unknowingly, they carried a bone-chilling cold, "Penelope, I'm sorry."

Kemp's apology was not sincere at all, even carried a bit of condescending contempt, but Penelope was still deeply grateful to Everett.

If it hadn't been for his help, even if she knew there was surveillance in the cloakroom, it wouldn't have been so easy for her to access it.

Moreover, despite his high position, he had never looked down on her, which touched her deeply.

Penelope didn't look at Kemp, but at Everett, and spoke with utmost sincerity, "Mr. Murray, thank you!"

"Do you really want to thank me?" Inexplicably, Everett blurted out such a sentence.
