Chapter 213 Penelope, I Loved Our Daughter
Devon.
Before Corona could figure out what Devon's inexplicable words meant, his voice, filled with a bone-chilling coldness, echoed in the air again, "Corona, speak! Why did you repeatedly harm Linda, and now even forced her to drink abortion pills, killing the child in her belly!"
Devon stared intently at Corona, his feelings for her were truly complex to the extreme.
He thought she was dead, missing her day and night. Now, she has returned, and he wishes he could send her to her death himself!
Thinking of the terrible things she had done to Linda, Devon suddenly found his longing for her over the past month to be utterly ridiculous.
This kind of woman, with a snake-like heart and shameless demeanor, should not have lived!
The more Devon thought about it, the colder and more terrifying his gaze became, "Corona, you killed my child! Give my child back to me!"
After hearing Devon's words, Corona found it extremely hilarious and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"Mr. Burke, are you out of your mind?! It was clearly you who killed my child, it's you who should bring my child back to me!"
"Corona, you did it and now you're too scared to admit it, aren't you?!" Devon took a step forward, gripping Corona's neck tightly, "Corona, you killed my flesh and blood, I won't spare you!"
"Devon, let go of Corona!" Penelope, fearing that Devon might hurt Corona, quickly stepped forward, intending to push him aside.
However, his strength was really too great. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help Corona break free from his grip.
"Penelope, get out of here! Don't worry about me!" Corona knew Penelope was not in good health and feared that Devon might hurt her, so she hurriedly told her to leave. "Penelope, if you don't leave now, I'll really get angry! Go now!"
"Devon, let go of Corona quickly! You're going to strangle her like this! It's clearly you and Linda who have been harming Corona, when has she ever harmed you!"
"Penelope, shut up!" The thing Devon couldn't stand the most was people speaking ill of Linda. He glared at Penelope with bloodshot eyes, "She made my Linda suffer so much, killing her would be too kind!"
"Corona, Linda said you forced her to take abortion pills and even pushed her into a ditch, causing her unbearable pain. At first, I didn't believe it. You were already dead, how could a dead person harm my Linda! Unexpectedly, Linda didn't lie to me, you are indeed still alive!"
"Corona, you crippled Linda, and now, you've caused the death of her unborn child. Even if you died ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to atone for what you've done to Linda!"
Saying this, Devon let go of Corona's neck, he abruptly grabbed her wrist, and rudely dragged her towards the direction of his car.
Every torment Devon inflicted on Corona was brutal enough, and naturally, Penelope was not willing to let him take her away just like that.
She stumbled forward, trying to snatch Corona, but before she could even touch Devon's body, he ruthlessly pushed her to the ground.
"Penelope!"
Corona saw Penelope fall and was frantic. She wanted to help her up, but she couldn't break free from Devon's grip.
The next second, Devon yanked open the car door and roughly shoved her into the back seat.
"Corona!"
Watching the black sedan drive away, Penelope was nearly driven to madness, but Devon had pushed her too hard. Her ankle hurt terribly, and she couldn't get up for a moment.
Penelope leaned on the trunk of a nearby tree, barely managing to stand up.
She wanted to chase after Devon's car, but the black sedan had already disappeared at the end of the street corner. She didn't even know where to continue the chase.
This morning, she left in a hurry and forgot her phone. Penelope limped into the community. Corona was taken away by Devon, which was more likely to be bad than good. She had to rush back to her small apartment and call the police with her phone.
Just as she reached the floor of her small apartment, Penelope saw Zackary standing at her door.
Penelope was already in a bad mood, and seeing such a formidable figure blocking her way, she felt even more stifled.
She didn't even glance at Zackary, she directly took the keys to open the door, ready to take out her own phone.
"Penelope...."
Penelope's hand, holding the key, trembled slightly. How long had it been since he had called her like this?
There was a brief warmth in her heart, but thinking of his cold ruthlessness, all the warmth was replaced by boundless coldness and desolation.
"Mr. Spencer, excuse me, I need to open the door!"
"Penelope, I saw Ethan today."
Penelope stomped her foot, looking at Zackary with a wary expression, "Mr. Spencer, Ethan doesn't want to see you! Please don't disturb our lives anymore!"
"Penelope, Ethan called me dad,"
Being so despised by Penelope, Zackary didn't feel a shred of anger in his heart, only an unbearable tenderness. "Penelope," he said, "Ethan hoped that we could always be together as a family."
"Impossible!" Penelope denied subconsciously, "Ethan said he didn't have a father, he couldn't possibly call you dad! Mr. Spencer, you don't need to talk nonsense here, I don't believe a word you say!"
"Penelope, I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ethan."
Suddenly, Zackary grabbed Penelope's hand, "Penelope, let's start over!"
"Start over? Ha!" Penelope laughed bitterly, "Mr. Spencer, you really do have a rich man's forgetfulness! A man who personally killed the child in my womb, what right does he have to ask to start over with me!"
"Penelope, what did you say?!" Zackary clearly didn't understand what Penelope meant by this.
"What did I say?! I said Mr. Spencer, you personally killed the child in my belly!"
Thinking of Ethan's clumsy walk, thinking of the tragic death of her unborn child, a boundless hatred instantly solidified in Penelope's heart, "Mr. Spencer, have you forgotten? Lola said, I was pregnant, she was very upset, you killed my child!"
"And then? Later, you fed my child to the dogs!"
"I didn't!" Zackary certainly didn't want to accept such an unfounded accusation, he explained eagerly to Penelope, "Penelope, I didn't hurt our child!"
"You didn't know how much I wanted you to bear my child, how could I possibly kill our child with my own hands!"
"But Lola said, it was you who made the doctor abort my child! It was you who had my child crushed and killed! It was a girl, my daughter, who could have lived..."
Zackary didn't know why Lola had said such things to Penelope, he didn't have the mood to delve into it at the moment, he just wanted to quickly clear up her misunderstanding about him.
"Penelope, I didn't kill our daughter! The day you had the car accident, when you were taken to the hospital, the doctor said that the child in your belly couldn't be saved."
Knowing this news, my heart ached as if being cut by a knife. I was too proud at that time, and said many harsh words to you. In fact, I was more upset than anyone else.
Penelope stared at Zackary in disbelief, "Really? You really didn't kill our daughter?!"
