Chapter 253 Penelope and Mr. Murray were caught having a secret affair

Penelope was greatly startled by this sudden situation.

She didn't see the person in front of her clearly, but she wasn't stupid, of course she wouldn't just take the hit for nothing.

She quickly dodged, but her arm was still hit hard, causing severe pain.

She hadn't even eased the pain in her arm when a scream of heartache and anger rang out beside her ear.

"Ah! My bag!"

Hearing this voice, Penelope subconsciously glanced at the woman in front of her.

This woman, she had seen on TV, a second-tier female star named Ashlynn Campbell, who was hailed as a nine-headed beauty.

Indeed, Lola and Pennie were best friends.

Following Ashlynn's gaze, Penelope also saw her bag that had fallen on the ground.

Yesterday, it snowed in Sea City. Today was warmer and the accumulated snow melted, turning the ground back into mud. There was a large patch of mud, and Ashlynn's bag happened to fall right into it.

Her bag didn't have a zipper, and its contents had all fallen into the mud. Quite a bit of muddy water had also gotten into her bag. The originally delicate and beautiful pink bag now looked dreadful.

Penelope lifted her gaze from the ground, and as she raised her face, she saw Lola and Pennie, who were watching the play from not far away, along with their men.

Penelope had to admit, Lola and Pennie were truly strong. One had attempted suicide by slashing her wrists, the other was covered in wounds and even had her pinky finger reattached. Surprisingly, they had returned to the film set to continue shooting after only a few days of rest.

Zackary and Kemp, should have been visiting their beloved women after work. They stood behind them like guardian angels, a perfect match of talent and beauty.

The director of this crew was Weston. When she was shooting a promotional video for "Throne", Weston was particularly impressed with her and insisted that she make a cameo in this film that he was about to wrap up. Penelope was too embarrassed to refuse, so she came.

Unexpectedly, it was a small world. Not only did she run into Lola and Pennie, but as soon as she joined the crew, she was also hit by their guns.

"Why did you deliberately hit me?!"

Penelope hadn't yet pulled herself out of her thoughts when Ashlynn's angry voice rang out again in her ear, "Do you have any idea how expensive this bag is?! It's a luxury limited edition! There are only two in the whole world! Even if you have money, you can't buy it!"

Penelope had heard of the brand, She. It was a luggage brand under the Murray Group. Named She, it was indeed luxurious, known for its high price.

It was said that the cheapest bags from luxury brands also cost five figures, most bags basically cost six figures, and these globally limited editions even exceeded seven figures.

However, no matter how expensive the luxury brand bag was, it was Ashlynn who intentionally bumped into her today. Even if it was completely ruined, what did it have to do with her!

This sucker, Penelope was not!

"Penelope, you talk to me! Why did you deliberately ruin my bag?! Give my bag back to me!"

"Ashlynn, did you hit me on purpose?" Penelope slightly lifted her chin, looking at Ashlynn with indifferent eyes, "I did nothing wrong, so naturally, I won't compensate you!"

"What did you say?!" Ashlynn glared at Penelope angrily, "Penelope, don't be unreasonable! Everyone saw it, you deliberately damaged my bag! You must compensate me for it!"

"This was the bag that young Mr. Crawford gave me. If he found out, he wouldn't let you off!"

"Ashlynn, you need to provide evidence when you speak! I was just walking by myself, and you suddenly ran into me. I really don't know how I could have intentionally bumped into you!"

"Penelope, it was you who bumped into me!" Ashlynn grabbed a staff member nearby, "Tell me! Did she bump into me on purpose?"

The staff member actually saw it just now, it was Ashlynn who deliberately bumped into Penelope. But Ashlynn's status was much higher than Penelope's, and moreover, she was very high-profile. Now, everyone in the crew knew that she was the new favorite of Mr. Crawford, so of course he didn't dare to offend this big shot, Ashlynn.

His gaze flickered away, he lowered his head, and spoke softly, "Yes! I just saw it, it was Penelope who deliberately bumped into you!"

Penelope was taken aback, she really hadn't expected that this person could lie with a straight face.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a female staff member, who had been glared at by Ashlynn, hastily spoke up, "I...I saw it too, it was Pen...Penelope who deliberately bumped into Ms. Campbell."

"Penelope, what else do you have to say now?!" Ashlynn was triumphantly smug, her nostrils almost flaring up to the sky, "We are all adults, and we have to take responsibility for our mistakes. You damaged my bag, you must compensate!"

"This bag was obtained by Young Mr. Crawford for me, he spent over five million and pulled some strings. I'll round down the change for you, five million, not a penny less!"

"Huh!" Penelope sneered coldly, five million for a counterfeit bag, even robbery isn't like this!

Was it still a limited edition?

Some people might not have noticed, but Penelope could tell at a glance, this bag was not a luxury brand at all, let alone a limited edition.

Penelope didn't do well in her studies from a young age, she wasn't smart enough, and her reactions were always half a beat slower than others.

But she also had significant strengths. She was a good dancer, had an exceptionally keen sense of smell, was particularly gifted in perfume making, and moreover, she had an extraordinarily strong observational ability.

In addition, she usually paid special attention to some fashion brands. Whether they were genuine or high-quality replicas, she could tell at a glance.

When Ashlynn saw that Penelope dared to laugh at this time, she exploded.

"Penelope, what on earth do you mean?! Everyone has already seen it, it was you who damaged my bag! What, after ruining my limited edition bag, you still want to deny it, don't you?!"

It's not easy to get by, and Penelope didn't want to make the scene too ugly. But Ashlynn's relentless attitude was just too much. Penelope couldn't stand it!

Just as she was about to point out that the bag was a fake, a warm and strong hand tightly gripped hers.

As Penelope turned around, she saw a man dressed in the guard's uniform from the play, his face covered with a silver mask.

But even if he wore a mask on his face, Penelope could recognize him, because the purple halo around his pupils was just too unique. It was hard for her not to recognize him.

Everett.

Penelope made a cameo in this play, playing a minor villain who was just there to make the male lead look good. She caught a concubine who was secretly communicating with the guards and even attempted to poison the emperor.

Penelope made a guest appearance as the noble concubine in the harem after the cholera.

This outfit of Everett's...

It was clearly the guard who had been having a secret affair with the imperial concubine, wearing a mask on his face due to disfigurement.

Penelope was exasperated. What was the domineering CEO doing, not managing his company properly and showing up late at night to make a cameo?!

Moreover, it was the part of secret communication...

The thought of having to act out such scenes with Everett in front of a large crowd including Zackary, Kemp and others, completely unsettled Penelope.
