Chapter 23 Zack, It Hurts

Penelope was adamant about not losing her little finger.

Her fear was rooted in the anticipation of pain.

Suddenly, the door to the dungeon swung open, and several bodyguards ushered Kemp in. Despite the situation, he appeared composed.

Spotting Kemp, Pennie rushed towards him, her adorable face marked by anxiety. "Kemp, please forgive her, okay? She's my friend. She must have been out of her mind when she did that! Kemp, I'm fine. Please forgive her."

"Penny, I said those who hurt you would pay the price!"

Kemp turned to Penelope with a cold gaze. His handsome face, usually gentle, took on a terrifying aspect when hardened.

His lips, thicker than Zackary's, were deemed by Corona Burnell as a sign of gentleness. However, reuniting with him revealed that even men with gentle appearances could be brutal.

"Penelope, tell me why you had Penny's hand broken!"

"I didn't!" Penelope regained her composure and hastily defended herself. "Kemp, I have no idea what you are talking about! I left the underground parking lot in the evening and went home. How could I do that?"

"Pennie, I never hurt you. Why did you frame me?"

"Penelope, don't get me wrong. I didn't frame you. I didn't!" Playing the role of Lola's best friend, Pennie was adept at portraying herself as pitiful.

She grabbed Kemp's sleeves, pleadingly. "Kemp, please let her go! She didn't mean it! Kemp, please don't hurt her!"

"Didn't mean it? She had your arm broken! How could you say she didn't mean it? Penny, you're so kind! You make me worried!"

"Kind?" Penelope laughed in anger. "Kemp, I thought you were smart. I didn't expect you to be so stupid! She has been framing me! How could you say she's kind?"

"Penelope, you are so stubborn!"

Kemp's sharp gaze fixed on her face. "Your men have confessed. You were mad at Penny about what happened in the parking lot, so you hired them to hurt Penny!

"Penelope, you hurt Penny. You should go to hell!"

"Kemp, don't hurt her! Please! No matter what she did, she's my friend. Please don't hurt her!" Pennie had tears in her eyes, looking sincere.

Kemp grabbed her fists. "Penny, she hurt you. I can't let her go!"

"Kemp, don't kill her!" Pennie even knelt and pleaded anxiously. "Kemp, leave her alive. My arm was broken. But it's enough to cripple her finger to take my revenge. Kemp, can you just cripple one of her fingers?"

"Penny, get up!"

Pennie remained on the ground, stubborn. "Kemp, if you don't agree, I won't get up!"

Kemp sighed softly with affection, saying helplessly, "OK. Penny."

Then he ordered coldly to his bodyguards, "Cut one of her fingers!"

"No!" Penelope struggled hard, but two burly men held her shoulders tightly. She couldn't break free at all.

"Kemp, you can't do this to me! If you hurt me, you'll regret it when you regain your memories!"

Kemp's face remained cold. "Penelope, I will only regret not having killed you! Do it!"

"No!" Penelope shook her head frantically and noticed her phone on the ground. She took the phone and called Zackary.

Penelope felt it was ridiculous. Zackary had broken her heart. But in her moment of despair, he was the first person she thought of.

She got through at once. Penelope said urgently, "Zack, help!"

"Penelope, it's me." It was Lola's voice, sounding triumphant. "It's said that you'll have your finger cut. My mom said it felt great. You should enjoy it!"

"Lola, put Zack on the phone! Now!"

"He just took a shower. I'll ask him to get the phone."

Shower...

He was with Lola. And he just took a shower...

Penelope's heart ached as if it had been pierced. Despite knowing that Lola and Zackary had been together before, the pain was still acute.

After a pause, Lola's voice came through the line. "Zack, Penelope seems to be in trouble. She wants you to save her. Or she'll be dead!"

Zackary wasn't nearby, but his voice was loud. Penelope heard his shout.

"She deserves it!"

"Bang!"

Penelope's phone fell to the ground. Suddenly, she lost the strength to resist.

Her mind was occupied with Zackary's sentence.

Her hand pressed against the ground, and her little finger was cut fiercely. The red blood blurred her eyes. The intense pain couldn't even ease the pain in her heart.

"It hurts so much..."

Penelope pressed her heart with her right hand, which was unharmed. She felt suffocated by the pain.

"Zack, it hurts..."

She murmured like a lost girl. Zackary used to comfort her as soon as she moaned in pain.

But what would he do now?

She curled up in pain and turned her face numbly. Seeing that the call was still on, she didn't want Lola to hear her helpless moan.

Even if she would die, she didn't want Lola to know how desperate she was.

With shaking hands, she wanted to hang up the phone. Then she heard something.

It was Lola's sexual moan.

Zackary was with Lola when she suffered great pain.

Penelope couldn't help shedding tears on her phone.

She told herself to be strong.

But she couldn't hold back her tears.

Kemp coldly stared at Penelope, who had blood on her clothes and lay on the ground. He thought he would feel happy to take Pennie's revenge on Penelope. However, somehow, when she fell helplessly and cried, his heart ached a lot.

He worried that he would do something irrational, so he left at once.

"Ms. Rogers, what should we do with her little finger?"
