Chapter 260 Mr. Spencer, mountains high and rivers wide, we part ways with heavy hearts!

They, they were going to get married...

Even though she had firmly decided to distance herself from Zackary, hearing him say that he was going to marry Lola still made her heart skip a beat.

It was the twentieth today, and the eighteenth of next month, less than a month's time left.

Penelope's expression stiffened for a moment, but in an instant, she forced herself to put on an indifferent, nonchalant smile.

She coolly lifted her eyelids, "Mr. Spencer, you've gone too far!"

"There was no need! You really didn't have to go out of your way to tell me about your marriage to Lola."

"Because, whether you married Lola or a dog, I, Penelope, didn't care anymore!"

"Mr. Spencer, please go back. Before you leave, could you please leave the keys to my small apartment? We have already broken up. If you appear in my apartment without my consent, it's trespassing! This is illegal!"

Saying so, Penelope raised her hand, signaling him to place the key in her hand.

The pain in Zackary's chest was real.

From that night on, when he broke the relationship between Penelope and Ralph, the pain in his heart did not cease for a moment.

Since then, there was no dawn in his world, every night was an endless nightmare.

He hated Penelope, truly hated her.

Thinking of him enduring this heart-wrenching pain day after day, while she was carefree and thriving among men, he was filled with such hatred that he wanted to skin her alive and grind her bones.

He rose from the sofa, forcefully shut the room door, and directly pinned Penelope against the door panel with resentment.

"Penelope, you seduced Everett again for Ralph's sake. Aren't you afraid that if Everett finds out the truth, he will tear you to pieces?!"

"The truth..."

Penelope laughed mockingly, "Mr. Spencer, the so-called truth you speak of has never been the truth I acknowledge!"

"Mr. Murray, he's not like you, he wouldn't misunderstand me casually, let alone believe in others' one-sided words."

Although she didn't love Everett, she had to admit, he really was a very good man.

"Hah!" Zackary sneered coldly, "Yeah, Everett is good, Ralph is good, Lyman is good, Penelope, in your heart, everyone is better than me, Zackary! Only I, Zackary, am a fool, being played around by you!"

Penelope truly found Zackary to be exceptionally unreasonable. She really wanted to explain things to him properly, but no matter what she said, he wouldn't believe her. He only trusted Lola.

So, she didn't need to make herself unhappy anymore.

"Mr. Spencer, indeed, you are the most disappointing person in this world," Penelope spoke somewhat dazedly. "So, Mr. Spencer, from now on, let's part ways, no matter how vast the mountains and rivers are!"

Parted twice as wide...

Zackary's eyes were bloodshot. He had originally told her about the day he married Lola just to provoke her. He didn't even know why he did such a foolish thing. Unexpectedly, he had rushed over in the middle of the night, only to receive her indifferent farewell.

"Penelope, you're dreaming! You're the chicken I, Zackary, bought. Even if I marry Lola, if I, Zackary, want you, you have to be there, at my beck and call!"

"Mr. Spencer, you seem to be a bit forgetful, we had already agreed that I would pay you back," Penelope paused, then continued, "Mr. Spencer, I didn't lie to you, I really will pay you back."

She had gotten two new cards. One card was for storing the money to be returned to Zackary, and the other was for keeping the money for Ethan.

Xavier said that as long as she could hold on for a year, he would definitely be able to develop a new drug.

But she knew her body well, she knew she couldn't hold on for much longer.

During this period, she would strive to earn money. She might not be able to repay Zackary a billion, but she would do her utmost to pay him back more money, so that when she left this world, she could be somewhat at peace.

"Give it back to me? With the money you earned by accompanying men? Penelope, I find it disgusting!"

Saying so, Zackary bent down his face and fiercely kissed Penelope's lips, like a punishment, over and over again, refusing to let go.

Penelope wanted to push him away forcefully, but the disparity in strength between them was too great, she couldn't push him away.

She could only close her eyes, suppress the inexplicable thoughts surging in her heart, and speak in as calm a tone as possible, "Mr. Spencer, you are about to marry Lola, yet you are seeing me behind Lola's back. Tell me, aren't you dirty!"

"Penelope!"

Zackary had no intention of letting Penelope go, he punished her even more harshly, "Lola isn't that petty! Lola is the best girl in the world!"

The best girl...

Once upon a time, who was it that whispered in her ear, "Penelope, you are the best girl in the world?"

Looking back now, those innocent, brilliant, passionate, unforgettable affairs seem to have all turned into the most ridiculous jokes.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Even though Penelope kept telling herself that it was foolish, even demeaning, to keep feeling this way for him, the Zack from the past was just too wonderful. She still couldn't help but feel as if her heart was being torn apart.

The intense surge in my heart, the sweet metallic taste in my throat, I couldn't suppress it no matter what.

Zackary was just about to furiously pin her down on the sofa, to harshly punish her for her betrayal and hurt towards him, when he saw a large patch of blood seeping from the corner of her lips.

Moreover, the blood red was becoming more and more, seemingly, it couldn't be stopped no matter what.

"Penelope!"

Zackary frantically grabbed the tissue from the coffee table to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips.

"Penelope, did you bite your mouth again?! Penelope, do you really not want me to touch you?!"

"Yeah, just a touch from you makes me sick!" Penelope covered her mouth tightly, but the bright red blood still seeped out from between her fingers. The glaring red dripped onto Zackary's white shirt. The pure white and the enchanting red looked even more shocking.

She could speak!

So much blood was flowing from the mouth, it must have been a severe bite on the tongue to bleed like this.

But if she had bitten her tongue hard, she wouldn't have spoken so clearly.

She didn't bite her mouth!

Then why did she vomit so much blood!

Her stomach seemed to be not so good, she even dared not eat spicy food.

Could it be, a gastric hemorrhage?

"Penelope, I took you to the hospital!"

"Mr. Spencer, no need to trouble yourself!" Penelope rejected coldly.

Penelope knew that if he took her to the hospital, her illness would inevitably be discovered. However, last time, after the doctor informed him of her condition, he looked at her with disgust and accused her of faking her illness.

Such heart-wrenching pain, she didn't want to experience it again.

So, she looked at him coldly and indifferently, "Mr. Spencer, even if I, Penelope, were dead, it would have nothing to do with you!"

Zackary was already angry, and seeing Penelope's lack of appreciation, he became even angrier.

He coldly shrugged her off, "Yeah, a woman who's been with everyone, whether she's dead or alive, what does it have to do with me, Zackary!"

Besides, she wouldn't have had the heart to die.

She still wanted to calculate so many people's property, how could she bear to reincarnate so early!

With these thoughts, Zackary forced himself to turn around and quickly walked towards the outside of the small apartment.

The window in the hallway was open, the wind that blew through was refreshingly cold, almost dreamlike. It seemed as if Zackary had heard Penelope's voice.
