Chapter 288 She Saved a Demon and Regretted It

Knelt down...

Licked?!

Hearing Devon's voice, Penelope was instantly infuriated.

Alas, her body was too weak. After being forcefully thrown, she couldn't stand up from the ground for a while. Moreover, the blood from her wrist flowed even more severely.

Of course, Corona didn't want to kneel either, but Devon was pressing her down so hard that she simply couldn't straighten her legs.

Even though she had long given up on Devon, his ruthless and cruel treatment still made her eyes well up with tears, unable to hold back.

Corona's gaze, bit by bit, drifted away, everything in front of her gradually became blurry.

It seemed as though she had returned to when she was eight years old, to the earth-shattering earthquake.

After the earthquake, homes were shattered, devastation was everywhere.

She was separated from her beloved grandmother, and no matter how desperately she searched, she could not find any trace of her grandmother.

The aftershock struck, causing another earth-shattering quake.

In her search for her grandmother, she clearly saw a dangerous building collapse, and a young boy with clear eyes and brows, was buried under the ruins.

Perhaps it was the sight of the lonely figure of the young boy that made her feel a sense of empathy, or perhaps, she simply couldn't bear to watch a life fade away right before her eyes.

She rushed to the front of the ruins, desperately digging through the thick cement and sand.

Her hands were scraped raw, to the point where she couldn't even find her fingernails. But in the end, she managed to rescue the young boy from the ruins.

The young boy was blind, yet he could gently call her Little Crescent.

Such warmth, as if, her grandmother was right by her side.

Corona had never regretted grinding her hands raw to pull Devon from the rubble.

Even if he had cut off her means of survival, forcing her to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, she had never regretted it.

But at that moment, she suddenly regretted it.

Suddenly, she regretted it, she had saved such a devil that could only deceive people.

A devil, who brutally killed his own flesh and blood!

Amidst the flurry of thoughts, Devon's voice, chilling to the bone, echoed in the air again, "Corona, lick it! Apologize to Linda!"

The consciousness of Corona slowly returned.

She found it extremely hilarious that he always forced her to apologize to Corona. But she had suffered so much injustice and experienced so much unfairness, who should apologize to her!

She would never apologize to her sworn enemy, not even if she died!

Devon had already been furious seeing Corona bully the weak and innocent Linda. Now, seeing Corona continue to act so arrogantly, especially when he even seemed to feel sorry for her pretense of being pitiful, his anger intensified.

Just as he was about to forcefully make her apologize to Linda, a fist as hard as steel brutally smashed into his face.

Zackary.

Tonight, Zackary, Devon, Wilton, and Lyman were drinking together in a private room, which was a belated welcome party for Lyman.

Zackary hadn't expected that after Devon came out, he would hear Penelope's voice.

He knew that the life or death of that shameless woman had nothing to do with him, but inexplicably, he still couldn't help but take a step forward.

He kept telling himself that he didn't care about this woman's life or death, he was just out to see her make a fool of herself.

Who would have known, as soon as he stepped out of the box door, he saw Devon pushing her to the ground.

Unbearable!

The woman he despised was not someone anyone could bully easily!

The more Zackary thought about it, the angrier he got. He threw another hard punch at Devon's handsome face.

"Zackary!"

Devon's eyes were filled with a fierce light, he was just about to explode when he received a punch from Lyman and Wilton on each side of his face.

"Penelope, how are you?" Lyman hurried forward, carefully pulling Penelope into his arms.

Zackary subconsciously wanted to pull Penelope up, but as soon as he reached out his hand, Lyman had already held her tightly.

His extended hand remained stiff in the air for quite a while. After a long pause, he let out a cold laugh and slowly withdrew his hand.

"Corona, how were you?!"

Seeing Corona being forcefully pinned to the ground by Devon, Wilton was quite angry. He quickly stepped forward and pulled her up.

He shielded her behind him, his handsome face with distinct features was utterly cold, "Devon, who allowed you to bully her?!"

"Wilton, move aside!"

Devon spoke coldly, seeing that Wilton had no intention of backing down, his face grew increasingly ugly. His gaze, coldly locked onto Corona's small face, "Corona, don't think that just because you're with Wilton, you have a backer! Today, no matter what, you must apologize to Linda!"

"Mr. Burke, I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?!"

Corona lifted her chin and spoke softly. Once, even if she was disheartened by Devon's actions, there was always some light in her eyes when she looked at him. But now, in her eyes, misty with a faint fog, there was no longer any light.

"Mr. Burke, don't say that I didn't intentionally dump trash on Linda. Given what she has done to me, even if I had splashed her with dung, she would have deserved it!"

"Corona, who are you to decide who deserves this?!" Devon was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. Seeing Linda crying non-stop, his temper flared even more.

"Wilton, move aside! Today, Corona must lick the dirt off Linda's feet!"

Wilton didn't speak immediately, he just slowly lowered his face, noticing the dirt on Linda's feet, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.

The stuff on Linda's foot was so disgusting that Devon actually wanted Corona to lick it off?!

Was it that if he hadn't come out, Corona would have already been forced to lick such filthy things?!

Wilton had always been mature beyond his years, but at this moment, his heart, due to anger, couldn't help but fluctuate violently.

He slowly lifted his face, looking into Devon's eyes with an uncontrollable anger, "Devon, you have no right to treat Corona like this!"

"Huh!" Devon sneered, "Shouldn't she take full responsibility for what she has done?!"

"Devon, I've always thought you were smart, but now, I'm increasingly thinking you're stupid!" Wilton paused, then continued, "Corona could never apologize to Linda! Not to mention she didn't do anything to Linda, even if she did, the woman I, Wilton, like, doesn't need to apologize to anyone!"

Devon's brows furrowed even more, unable to restrain themselves.

Having been called stupid by both Penelope and Wilton, he was quite upset. But he now realized that what upset him even more was this sentence uttered by Wilton.

The woman that Wilton liked.

He didn't know why he felt so upset, but every time he thought of that sentence, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Devon suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart, and with a stern face, he said, "Wilton, the woman you love doesn't need to apologize to others, so should my woman, Devon's woman, be bullied by others?!"

"Corona, kneel down, apologize!"
