Chapter 291 Penelope's Dark Secret

Penelope was startled, she hurriedly tried to push Zackary away.

There really was no unpleasant smell on Zackary.

Even now, despite his gloomy demeanor, there was an inexplicable sunny and clear aura about him. Being near him was like basking in a grassy field, indescribably refreshing.

She just said those words purely because he mentioned Ethan, she was angry, she wanted to hurt his young soul.

Unexpectedly, he actually resorted to such means to prove to her that he did not have that kind of smell.

The underground garage was used forcefully, or by ex-husbands and ex-boyfriends, Penelope's taste wasn't that heavy!

Zackary's actions were becoming more and more insane, leaving Penelope in utter chaos. She was racking her brains, trying to figure out how to escape the predicament in front of her, when Zackary's cell phone suddenly started ringing urgently.

Seeing that the incoming call was from Lola, Zackary quickly picked it up.

"Lola, what's the matter?"

"Zackary, did you see your sister?"

Lola's voice, it sounded so gentle and kind, truly like a pure little white flower.

Before Zackary could speak, Lola continued, "Zackary, the news about your sister meddling in other people's marriages and seducing other women's husbands has already spread on the internet."

"The words netizens used to scold my sister were really a bit harsh. Zackary, even though my sister has done many bad things to me, she is still my sister after all! I'm really worried that if she sees the comments online, she might do something drastic."

"Zackary, if you saw your sister, you must have urged her strongly, not to lose hope, and... not to destroy other people's families anymore."

"Lola, what did you say?!" Zackary's face had turned extremely ugly, his eyebrows furrowed tightly. If a mosquito had flown by, his furrowed brows would have certainly been able to kill it.

"Zackary, you go check it out online yourself, I really didn't expect that my sister would do such a thing."

Zackary was eager to know what had happened. He didn't bother to chat with Lola, hung up the phone, and quickly went online to search for information about Penelope.

As a result, he received a news alert without having to search for it.

"Shocking! The minor internet celebrity, Penelope, drugged a married man and battled for three hundred rounds!"

Zackary stared at Penelope with a somber look in his eyes, his fingertips twitched slightly as he clicked on the news article.

At the top, there was a video.

A video of Penelope and Kemp, entering the same private room at Lust Club, one after the other.

Scrolling down further, there were a few more photos.

Because the light was too dim, the faces of the man and woman in the photo couldn't be seen clearly, but it could be made out that the two were kissing.

There was another photo that was even more explicit. The man and woman in the photo had ended up directly on the bed. What the two were doing was self-evident.

Apparently, the news was saying that Penelope shamelessly drugged Kemp in order to climb the ladder of success. Taking advantage of him being under the influence of the drug, she climbed into his bed.

Zackary was so close to Penelope that it was hard for her not to hear the content of the call Lola had just made to him.

A sense of foreboding quickly flashed through her mind, and she hurriedly turned on her phone to go online.

Penelope had an affair.

Penelope was a fox spirit.

Penelope designed Mr. Kemp.

***

Many keywords associated with Penelope had already topped the trending list.

The two people who entered the box one after the other in the video were indeed her and Kemp, but the people in the photos that followed were not really her and Kemp.

But, what did that matter?

The media at that time was adept at sensationalizing, coupled with the netizens' zero tolerance for mistresses. This video, along with these few blurry photos, and the media's assertive voice, were enough to doom her irretrievably.

The online insults towards her were simply unbearable to witness.

Although Pennie's previous act of draping herself in a foreign flag to court a wealthy man had somewhat tarnished her reputation, Kemp's frequent public displays of affection with her afterwards made them still appear as a fairy-tale couple in the eyes of many.

Netizens naturally couldn't stand Penelope's shameless interference in the marriage of this divine couple!

No matter how many absurd things Pennie had done in the past, they were all before she married Kemp. But now, they are married, and yet Penelope insists on interfering, using such disgraceful methods. It would be strange if netizens didn't curse her to death!

Penelope had just exited this news when she came across a video.

In the video, Pennie was being interviewed by the media.

Tears of anguish marked Pennie's face. Faced with the concern of the reporters, she choked up for a while before she softly began to speak, "I really didn't expect Penelope to do such a thing."

"I always considered her my best friend. I knew she had feelings for Kemp, but I never imagined that she would go so far as to..."

Seemingly too distressed, Pennie sobbed so much that she couldn't speak.

"Back when we were in school, Penelope had a thing for stealing her best friends' boyfriends. It's surprising that after all these years, she hasn't changed a bit."

With tears streaming down her face, Pennie accused in front of the camera, "Penelope, why did you treat me like this?! Is our sisterhood, which we grew up together, worthless compared to money and men?! Penelope, tell me, why did you treat me like this!"

"Mrs. Hunter, don't overdo it! What's done is done, it's not worth ruining your health over it! Mrs. Hunter, we all know that you and Mr. Hunter have a great relationship. Will this incident affect your relationship?"

"Yes, Mrs. Hunter, would you choose to divorce Mr. Hunter?"

Pennie didn't immediately answer the reporter's question. She stared at the camera, lost in thought for a long time, before gently shaking her head.

"Kemp is innocent," Pennie spoke softly, "He is also a victim. If I abandon him because of the harm others have done to him, it would be too unfair to him. I will, hand in hand with him, overcome all the hardships, rumors, and weather the storm together!"

"As for Penelope... I would never forgive her, a sister who hurt my husband and destroyed my marriage by any means necessary just to have him for herself. I could never forgive her!"

Looking at Pennie's righteous demeanor, Penelope really found it extremely ridiculous.

By any means necessary?

Ha!

Who exactly was the person who would stop at nothing!

Indeed, after Pennie was interviewed, the anger of netizens surged to an unprecedented level.

Countless netizens told Penelope to die, to get out of the entertainment industry, and even, some netizens expressed that they wanted to splash sulfuric acid on her face to see how she would seduce men and destroy other people's families in the future!

Zackary had also watched this video. His face was already looking bad, but after watching this video, his handsome face was completely overshadowed by dark clouds, blocking all the light.

Thin lips, slightly moved, and the piercingly cold words had already poured out.

"Penelope, did you see Kemp tonight?! To get a man, you could even resort to drugging him, how the hell could you be so shameless?!"

"Penelope, you're crazy about men, aren't you?! Fine, since you're so desperate for a man, I'll grant your wish!"
