Chapter 169 Penelope Brutally Tortures Kemp

"Penelope!"

Kemp abruptly lifted his face, his eyes shrouded in a terrifying red, unspeakable whether it was anger, hatred, or regret.

Penelope was not intimidated by his angry, almost cannibalistic demeanor. She repeated her previous words, "Kemp, apologize to Ethan!"

Kemp, being such a proud man, naturally wouldn't deign to apologize to a little cripple.

However, as soon as he lowered his gaze, he saw Penelope's left hand.

On her left hand, a thick bandage was wrapped, but even with such a thick bandage, traces of blood still seeped through, staining the back of her hand.

The bandage, mainly wrapped around the back of her hand, he followed it down, and could still see that she was missing a pinky finger.

Even the place where her little finger had broken, where the scab had already fallen off, could not hide the damage she had once suffered.

And all of this, was thanks to his gift!

Suddenly, Kemp lost all his strength, he was so guilty that he could hardly stand.

He solemnly swore that Penelope was a dirty woman, but she had never been dirty in front of him. In his presence, she was always an innocent victim of false accusations!

"Mr. Kemp, apologize to Ethan!" After watching this video and recalling Kemp's recent attempt to gouge out Ethan's eyes, Everett instantly understood the gist of the matter.

His chest heaved violently. He couldn't understand how in this world there could be such a blind man, manipulated to such an extent by a woman with ill intentions!

Kemp felt guilty.

But every time he thought of Penelope clinging to Everett, defending her again and again, all the guilt in his heart turned into towering anger.

"Penelope, you want me to apologize to this cripple?!" Kemp cruelly smirked, speaking word by word, "In your dreams!"

"Penny was the woman I loved the most. Even if she framed you and this cripple, you deserved it!"

"Yeah, we deserved it!" Penelope's worldview was truly refreshed by Kemp's protective attitude. However, she didn't back down so easily today.

Perhaps many people thought that an apology was not a big deal, and she didn't need to be so obsessed with it.

But she knew better than anyone how important Kemp was to Ethan.

His misunderstanding of Ethan, his repeated calling him a cripple, were like knives, ruthlessly stabbing into Ethan's heart. Only his apology to Ethan could ensure that Ethan's heart would not be left with only pain and embarrassment.

"Mr. Hunter, you protected your woman, she framed us, even, you wanted to gouge out my Ethan's eyes, it's all our fault!"

"You said we deserved it, I won't argue with you on that! But there's one thing, I think, I should tell you. If you don't apologize to Ethan, I will post this video online! Pennie cares so much about her image, I want to see, if the whole world knows about her hypocrisy and malice, her duplicity, how happy she would be!"

"Penelope, how dare you!" Kemp said, making a move to snatch the USB from the laptop, intending to destroy it.

Penelope didn't take Kemp's threat seriously at all, her lifted chin carried a pride that could not be broken by any storm.

"Mr. Hunter, I'm Penelope, not someone who is easily scared! You can try me if you dare! Oh, just a friendly reminder, you can destroy this USB drive all you want, I have a backup!"

Kemp was so infuriated by Penelope that he was on the verge of exploding on the spot, but no matter how outrageous he thought Pennie's actions were this time, she was, after all, the girl who had accompanied him through the most difficult times. He couldn't bear to watch her fall into disgrace.

Gloomily, he glanced at Penelope in front of him, and finally, Kemp's gaze slowly fell on Ethan.

"Lame... Ethan, I'm sorry, I wronged you this time!"

Even when Kemp apologized, it still came off as condescending charity. But, his words were enough.

Ethan's eyes reddened, he didn't respond to Kemp's words, he just reached out and gently grasped Penelope's sleeve.

"Mom, we went home."

He really, really wanted to be held by his Uncle Kemp again, but the cold and heartless person in front of him was no longer his Uncle Kemp. He didn't want to make his mother worry about him anymore.

"Alright, Ethan, we went home."

Penelope gratefully placed the laptop back into Dawson's arms, then softly spoke to Everett, "Mr. Murray, thank you for your laptop! Your clothes, they were left at my place, I'll bring them down to you later."

"No need!" Everett really wanted to say, he could go up and get it.

But he was a man who knew when to advance and when to retreat. He fell silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "Penelope, I'll come to pick it up another day! You rest well!"

Penelope was really tired today, and her ankle hurt badly. It would be best if she didn't have to deliver clothes to Everett anymore. She politely nodded at him, then took Ethan's hand and walked step by step into the community.

After entering the community gate, Ethan suddenly turned his face slowly.

He bit his lip hard, as if he had made a very important decision. He looked at Kemp and spoke word by word, "You are not my Uncle Kemp anymore! My Uncle Kemp, he is good, he is the best person in the world, he loves me and my mom, he just... forgot the way home, he can't find me and my mom anymore."

"Even if he never came back, he was still very important to me, irreplaceable. Mr. Hunter, you are not him! You are not him..."

"Mr. Hunter, from now on, you are just Mr. Hunter!"

After saying this, Ethan tightly gripped Penelope's arm and walked into the community without looking back.

Kemp watched Ethan and Penelope's retreating figures steadily, subconsciously pressing his hand to his chest.

He was absolutely certain that he didn't care about this little cripple, but hearing his words, he felt as if he had been abandoned.

It was as if, in the vast universe, he was left alone, so cold, so cold, he could no longer find, a shred of warmth...

After getting in the car, Everett felt that he should give his grandfather Xavier a call.

Tell him, he wouldn't be going to the blind date banquet tomorrow.

Having met Penelope, the so-called blind date was no longer necessary.

Xavier usually went to bed late, so at this time, he hadn't rested yet. Almost immediately, he picked up the phone.

"Evey, what happened?"

"Grandpa, I'm not going to the blind date tomorrow night," Everett said. He was always succinct, even when speaking to his beloved grandfather.

"What did you say?! I've already booked the private room for you, and now you're telling me you're not going?! Evey, let me tell you, you must come over tomorrow night! If you don't, I... I won't consider you my grandson!" After saying this, Xavier immediately hung up the phone.

Everett watched as the phone screen gradually darkened, his face slowly turning gloomy.

What he hated the most were manipulative women. In the past, there were quite a few women who tried every means to get close to him, to please Xavier, and even attempted to force him into submission by drugging him. Without exception, none of these women succeeded, and they all ended up in a miserable state.

This woman, who had Xavier wrapped around her finger, used methods that disgusted him even more.

Seeing the gloomy handsome face of his own boss, Dawson instantly understood his thoughts.

He tentatively spoke up, "Boss, that woman, she's really a bit ungrateful."

Everett spoke expressionlessly, his noble face carrying a chilling coldness, "I will give her a big gift!"
