Chapter 251 Penelope, Soared into the Sky!

"Mr. Murray, what did you say?"

Penelope was taken aback by Everett's words, she truly thought she had misheard. However, after a moment of silence, Everett repeated his words with utmost seriousness, "Penelope, let's get married!"

Penelope, "..."

Penelope really thought that Everett's mind jumped too quickly. Just a moment ago, they were talking about her career, how did it suddenly jump to marriage?

For a moment, Penelope really didn't know what to say.

After a long contemplation, Penelope finally spoke cautiously, "Mr. Murray, are you joking with me? How...how could we possibly get married! Mr. Murray, you better stop making such jokes, they're not funny at all."

"Penelope, I'm not joking with you," Everett stared unblinkingly at Penelope's small face. "I know, my sudden proposal is abrupt. But Penelope, this is my true feelings. I want to marry you, take care of you, and protect you."

"Mr. Murray, we're not right for each other," Penelope paused, then continued, "I've been married, I have children, to be honest, Mr. Murray, I'm not good enough for you. You can totally find a good girl to love and cherish for a lifetime."

"Penelope, in my heart, you were the best girl."

Seeing how stubborn Everett was, Penelope decided to speak to him directly.

"Mr. Murray, I don't know if your grandfather ever told you, but I was sick. When two people are together, they both want to grow old together. I can't do that with anyone else, so I don't want to get married again. Mr. Murray, thank you for your deep affection, but I don't love you and I don't want to hold you back."

"Penelope!" Everett gripped Penelope's small hand very tightly. She wanted to pull it out, but he was too domineering, not giving her any chance to refuse.

"I knew about your illness, Penelope! You should have trusted my grandfather's medical skills. Besides, I genuinely liked you, regardless of whether you were healthy or sick, I wanted to take care of you, for a lifetime."

"But Mr. Murray, I don't have a lifetime left!" The thought of her impending departure, leaving Ethan alone in the world, made Penelope's throat tighten uncontrollably. She took a deep breath to prevent herself from crying.

"Mr. Murray, why should I inflict harm on others with this body of mine! Mr. Murray, you've helped me, I'm truly grateful, I'm grateful to you, so, I don't want to harm you even more."

"Penelope, you didn't harm me!" Everett couldn't bear to see Penelope belittling herself like this, "Your willingness to be with me is my blessing!"

"Penelope, I know, the one you love is not me. But I can wait, I will give you a lifetime to fall in love with me."

"Penelope, don't rush to reject me. I'm giving you time to think, three days. After three days, I will come to you for an answer."

"Mr. Murray, it's impossible between us, I..."

"Penelope, I told you, don't rush to reject me! I will be the strongest support for you and Ethan! Even for Ethan's sake, I hope you can seriously consider my proposal! Penelope, I've never been in love, and I don't know how to please a girl, but I, Everett, can assure you, if you accept me, I will never let you suffer any grievances."

"I would, give my whole heart, to you!"

Penelope lifted her face, her eyes complexly gazing at Everett, such a proud man, lowering his noble head, pouring out his heart to her with such words. If she were to say she wasn't moved at all, it would definitely be a lie.

Being touched, is never the same as being moved.

Her heart, she couldn't give to Everett anymore.

She knew that being with Everett was a good choice. He would protect her and Ethan well. After her death, Ethan would have a solid reliance. But she didn't want to be so selfish, selfishly taking only from him.

Just as Penelope was about to flatly refuse Everett, he let go of her hand and stood up, "Penelope, give me your answer in three days."

After saying this, he took out his phone and called Dawson, then quickly headed towards the door, as if he was afraid that if he walked a bit slower, he would be rejected by Penelope.

How could Penelope not see what was on Everett's mind? She sighed slightly in her heart. She hadn't expected that Everett, such a proud man, would also have fears.

Three days ago...

Just three days, anyway, rejecting a day earlier or a day later, actually, there wasn't much difference.

Penelope felt that sometimes, the heavens were fair. She was emotionally frustrated and rejected by Zackary, yet her career seemed to be taking off.

A while ago, she was really scolded quite harshly.

Even after the matter of the clothing was clarified, there were still quite a few netizens attacking her appearance.

What shoe-puller face, donkey face, snake spirit face, botulism poisoning face...

In short, in the eyes of netizens, she was just an unbeatably ugly internet celebrity who could only rely on filters and Photoshop, and would be done for at the first sight of light.

Especially after Sol changed the male lead of "Overbearing CEO Dotes on Internet Celebrity Little Wife" to Zackary, she was even more scolded by netizens.

Netizens unanimously agreed that it was Penelope who had bribed the internet writer Sol with her filthy money. Despite being an internet celebrity who was ugly as sin, she still acted like a Mary Sue, fantasizing about dating various overbearing CEOs.

Or, Penelope herself, was that shameless Sol.

She coveted the handsome faces and attractive bodies of Mr. Zackary and Mr. Murray. In reality, these heartthrobs disregarded her, leaving her to write novels in search of a sense of existence. Shamelessly, she even fantasized herself as the female protagonist pursued by numerous domineering CEOs.

So disgusting!

Regarding the comments from netizens, Penelope was really speechless. She thought that this person named Sol, must be her hater, otherwise why would they write such impure novels to trap her!

However, later on, that novel was inexplicably taken off the shelves, and the voices of netizens criticizing her as a Mary Sue also significantly diminished.

Everyone started attacking her ugly face again.

Everyone called her ugly, but Penelope really didn't feel anything. After all, even if she tried her utmost, her face could not be associated with terms like "pancake face" or "disfigured face".

Sometimes, browsing through the creative insults from netizens about her ugliness was a kind of fun. Penelope, when bored, also liked to find some amusement in it.

She thought that the netizens would continue to berate her in various ways for a while. However, to her surprise, when she woke up, the online sentiment had completely shifted.

The official "Throne" social media account released the video of her portraying Josephine.

Under the moonlight, the young girl sat on the swing, lost in thought. Even with a blank expression, she was still as beautiful as a poem or a painting.

The love of her life returned on horseback, she gracefully descended from the swing, falling into his arms. That scene, it simply became a classic in the hearts of countless people.

Especially when she slightly opened her vermilion lips and called out "General", it drove countless homebodies crazy, cheering wildly for her.

Among the myriad of flowers, she danced gracefully, light as a feather. It seemed as though she had transformed into a cinnabar mole in countless people's hearts, indelible.

Penelope was totally furious!
