Chapter 247 Dad, why did you bully mom?!

Penelope curled her fingers in silent protest against Zackary's actions, but he gave her no chance to resist. He increased his grip, ruthlessly removing the ring from her ring finger.

The ring was put on, it wasn't so easy to take off, he was so forceful, the feeling, it hurt a lot.

Penelope felt that the skin on her fingers was about to be rubbed raw.

Zackary looked at the ring in his hand with a half-smile, half-smirk. The diamond ring, pure and flawless, was so clean it seemed untouched by dust.

However, such a sacred diamond ring was worn by a filthy woman.

"So dirty!"

The gleam in Zackary's eyes, as he looked at the diamond ring, gradually filled with intense disgust. As he looked at it, it was as if he saw his most cherished love become filthy and unbearable.

He no longer wished to glance at the diamond ring again. Gathering all his strength, he fiercely threw it out of the window.

The ring fell outside, but no sound could be heard.

Watching the arc of the ring as it flew out the window, Penelope could clearly hear the sound of her own heart shattering.

In an instant, it shattered into hundreds of pieces, and eventually, every inch turned to ash. The wind blew, leaving not a trace of the lingering and poignant marks.

For the first time, Mr. Grant encountered such a stunning beauty, his heart was itching intensely. Zackary had been constantly sparring with Penelope, and he was growing impatient.

Seeing that Zackary was finally ignoring Penelope, he felt that it was his time to shine.

"Penelope...."

He stepped forward, directly pulling Penelope into his arms.

Penelope suddenly came to her senses, facing the magnified, greasy and ugly face of Mr. Grant. She abruptly turned her face away, unable to suppress her dry heaving.

This face, she had seen before.

Corona used to sell alcohol in high-end clubs before. Once, she went to find Corona, and that night, Corona almost got bullied by this disgusting man.

She learned from Corona that this man was as notorious as Andrew in Sea City. Their fame was not due to their wealth or talent, but rather, their unique ways of tormenting women.

Cruel enough, and disgusting enough.

Of course, Penelope didn't want to be touched by Mr. Grant, but her stomachache was so severe that she couldn't even muster the strength to move.

After being carefully treated by Xavier, Penelope had occasionally experienced stomachaches, but never had she felt as much pain as she did now.

The pain made her tremble all over, her throat tasted metallic and sweet. Even more, she had a strong illusion that today, she was going to die here.

Seeing Penelope not moving at all and cooperating with him, Mr. Grant was overjoyed. Right then, he wanted to show off his power on her, and incidentally perform well in front of Zackary.

Zackary's gaze had never left Penelope's little face.

He was waiting for Penelope to apologize and beg for mercy from him.

Even though she had committed deeds that were detestable to both gods and men, he thought, as long as she realized her mistakes and returned to the right path, he could give her another chance.

But she, remained unrepentant.

Or perhaps, her heart was so dark that she didn't feel any guilt for her actions at all.

Zackary feared he wouldn't be able to resist chopping off Mr. Grant's hand that was on Penelope, so he forced himself to look away from them.

He couldn't afford to be soft-hearted.

An eye for an eye, Lola was violated because of Penelope. How could he let Penelope get away with it!

Penelope, she deserved to die a thousand times over!

Moreover, Penelope had no intention of breaking away from Mr. Grant at all, she was clearly enjoying it.

Indeed, she was a promiscuous and filthy woman!

A surge of fishy sweetness from Penelope's throat finally gave her some strength back. She didn't bother to wipe the bright red from the corner of her lips. She pushed hard with her hands, trying to push Mr. Grant away.

Seeing Penelope spew out a mouthful of blood, Mr. Grant was also greatly startled. However, he wasn't afraid even if a woman died in his hands, so what was so big about spitting out blood!

With this thought, Mr. Grant instantly became full of confidence again.

"Get lost..."

Penelope's voice, so weak it was almost inaudible, didn't sound like resistance, but rather like an invitation to please a man.

Mr. Grant's face was full of joy, while Zackary's face turned even more ashen.

Penelope had no time to consider their complex thoughts, she just wanted to be as far away from Mr. Grant as possible.

But she couldn't escape.

She could only, like a piece of fish on the chopping board, be wantonly butchered by another man in front of Zackary!

"Bang!"

Zackary had intended to teach Penelope a lesson, but he sadly discovered that giving her away to another man was not tormenting her, but rather torturing his own heart.

He was struggling to resist the urge to turn around and throw Mr. Grant out of the window when the slightly ajar door of the room was suddenly flung open.

Dressed in a black, hand-tailored suit and standing tall like a pine, Everett strode in and directly kicked Mr. Grant, who was pressing down on Penelope, over with a fierce foot.

Behind him, a pale-faced Ethan was still following.

Mr. Grant hadn't even started to show his true potential yet, and he was already kicked down so hard, he couldn't bear it!

His face flushed red as he picked himself up from the ground, ready to give Everett, who had appeared out of nowhere, a good lesson. But Everett directly landed a punch on his face, twisting it sideways.

It seemed like the mouth had directly twisted off.

Mr. Grant roared in anger, his words leaking out of his mouth like a gust of wind. Everett was too low-key, so Mr. Grant had no idea that he was the famous Mr. Murray.

He swung his fists, as if wanting to beat Everett into questioning his life.

"Little brat, do you know who I am associated with?! I am with Mr. Zackary! You ruined my plans, I will kill you!"

Mr. Grant didn't manage to kill Everett, instead, he was dragged to the window by him and brutally beaten. Subsequently, he was savagely thrown out of the window by him.

This room was on the second floor. Falling from here wouldn't kill or cripple him, but it would still hurt him enough.

Originally, Everett had wanted to beat up Mr. Grant even more, but he noticed that Penelope was covered in a lot of blood. He was worried about her condition, so after giving Mr. Grant a brief lesson, he quickly turned back, tightly pulling Penelope into his arms.

"Penelope, how were you?"

"I'm fine, Mr. Murray, thank you." As soon as Penelope opened her mouth, a large amount of bright red blood gushed out from her mouth, splashing onto the clothes in front of her, looking particularly shocking.

Just now on the road, Penelope received a call from Everett. However, as soon as she picked up, it was forcibly hung up by Zackary. Unexpectedly, he rushed over so quickly.

"Mom!"

Ethan threw himself onto Penelope, his tears rolling down in big drops, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Mom, you're coughing up blood! Mom, how could you be coughing up blood!"

Upon hearing Ethan's voice, Zackary abruptly turned his face. He saw large patches of bright red, almost blooming like clusters of red spider lilies on Penelope's white clothes.

Zackary's pupils suddenly constricted, he too wanted to know, why had Penelope suddenly vomited so much blood?!

Commit suicide by biting one's tongue?

It seemed to look like it, yet it didn't.

However, he couldn't swallow his pride to ask Penelope.

"Ethan, I'm fine, Mom just accidentally bit her lip..." Penelope spoke softly, afraid that Ethan would worry. She covered her mouth tightly, forcibly suppressing the metallic sweetness in her throat.

Ethan was skeptical, thinking of Zackary he had seen when he just walked in, he couldn't help but turn his face to question him, "Dad, you said you would protect mom! Why did you bully mom!"
