Chapter 331 He Didn't Like Mr. Zackary's Tone

Finally, there was a group willing to cooperate, and the director's sorrowful round face instantly filled with laughter.

With a wave of his hand, the cameras sprang into action, rushing to capture the surprise Mr. Murray had prepared for Penelope.

Zackary's face was so dark it was almost as if ink was about to pour out. He sneered, not even sparing Lola a glance, and went straight downstairs. He was curious to see what surprise Everett had prepared for her!

Everett took Penelope out to the yard. Originally, it was pitch black outside. After they went out, red candles were lit, stars twinkled, and the outdoor lights were turned on. In an instant, it was as if it were daylight.

In the yard, a huge heart shape was formed with red candles, and around the candles, fiery red roses were also arranged.

Inside the huge heart shape, it was also filled with flowers of various colors, and the arrangement of these flowers was very particular.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that it was Penelope's name.

To be honest, arranging candles into a heart shape and such was really old-fashioned. But just thinking that each of these candles was placed by Everett himself, and those flowers were all picked by him from the garden with his own priceless hands, everyone would feel that such a surprise was indescribably romantic.

An indescribable sincerity.

Everett magically produced a large bouquet of colorful flowers from behind, his eyes deep and devout. "Penelope, you are the best girl in the world. I wish you a life of peace and joy, free from worries," he said.

"Mr. Murray, thank you so much!" Penelope had never expected that Everett had secretly prepared such a big surprise for her.

Seeing the faint traces of blood on his fingers, Penelope knew that he must have been pricked by the thorns on the rose stem.

A person of his status really didn't need to expend so much effort on her.

If she said she wasn't moved at all by his kindness towards her, it would definitely be a lie.

Just, her heart, truly couldn't be moved anymore.

After a moment of silence, Penelope finally voiced her confusion, "Mr. Murray, we didn't seem to make much money from selling apples, how were you able to buy so many things?"

The flowers were expensive, okay!

"Penelope, the candle was bought by me, the flowers were picked by me from the garden."

Upon hearing Everett's words, the expressions on Pennie and Lola's faces instantly turned incredibly unpleasant.

Yes, there was a huge garden inside this castle, where thousands of flowers bloomed. Even without a penny, it was easy to create surprises for them using the resources here. But their men, they were unwilling.

Seeing Penelope silent, Everett, who was always unflappable, suddenly became somewhat nervous.

He looked at Penelope with burning eyes, his voice rich and pleasant, but with a clear nervousness, "Penelope, I've never made a surprise for a girl, and I don't know if you would like it..."

"I liked it." Penelope spoke softly, her gaze slowly leaving Everett's injured hand, "Mr. Murray, the surprise you gave me, I liked it very much."

She was grateful that he could put so much thought into her.

If she could live to be a hundred, she would repay his kindness towards her. But she didn't have much time left, she couldn't hold him back.

On the show, she would give him enough respect. But once the show was over, she would have a serious talk with him.

He spent so much time and energy on her, it really wasn't worth it.

"Since you like..." Everett began slowly, "Penelope, may I ask you for a dance?"

"Huh?" Penelope was surprised, she really hadn't expected Everett to make such a request of her.

Men and women dancing together inevitably involved physical contact, which was really too ambiguous. With so many people watching, Penelope, being thin-skinned, couldn't do it.

But there were staff members live streaming, Everett had specially prepared a surprise for her, he invited her to dance, but she refused, which inevitably made him extremely embarrassed.

Penelope was in a dilemma when Lyman had already walked up to her with a grin, and gave her a hard push. With that push, she happened to fall into Everett's arms.

"Of course she can! Our Penelope is the best dancer!" Lyman winked at Penelope, "Penelope, we all want to see you dance with Everett!"

"I want to see too!" In order to liven up the atmosphere, Richard also quickly joined in the fun.

After the director finished speaking, he turned around and met Zackary's eyes, which were filled with surging murderous intent, all because of him.

Richard weakly covered his mouth, it was over, Mr. Zackary was jealous again! He even instigated Mr. Murray to dance with the young girl, it felt like Mr. Zackary was going to break his leg! How terrifying!

Richard knew that if he didn't want Mr. Zackary to break his legs, his best course of action would be to stop Mr. Murray from dancing with Penelope.

Well... Mr. Murray really wanted to dance with Penelope. If he dared to blindly stop him, Mr. Murray would definitely have broken his legs.

The director really felt it was hard to be a human!

"Penelope, hurry up and dance with Everett!" Lyman was so anxious that he was just short of intertwining Penelope's hand with Everett's.

The spotlight had already been cast on them, Penelope didn't want to embarrass Everett, so she took the initiative to reach out and grabbed his hand.

"Wow!" Lola exclaimed dramatically, "Zackary, look! Our sister is going to dance with Mr. Murray! They are such a great match! They are simply a match made in heaven!"

A match made in heaven?!

What a load of crap!

"Zackary, you tell me, if sister and Mr. Murray were to dance closely later, would they end up kissing each other uncontrollably?"

Still wanted to kiss together?!

Zackary was so furious he was almost beside himself, seeing Everett's hand resting on Penelope's slender waist, he could bear it no longer!

He violently shook off Lola who was grabbing his arm, quickly stepped forward, and firmly grasped Everett's shoulder.

"Everett, didn't you like dancing?! I'll dance with you!"

Jump to you, doubting life!

Richard was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out. Was Mr. Zackary really unable to hold back, about to confess his feelings to Mr. Murray?!

Fearing that this earth-shattering scene would get out and be seen by Jayden and Cornelia, which would directly doom him, he frantically waved his hands, urging the live-streaming guy to quickly cut off the broadcast.

Penelope was also stunned by Zackary's godlike maneuver. How could she feel like she had become a love rival with her ex-husband? This feeling was really subtle.

Everett had no intention of dancing with Zackary at all. He calmly brushed off his hand, "Zackary, you're overthinking it, I'm not into you!"

Saying this, he took Penelope's little hand and signaled the staff to play the music.

The staff nervously started the music. In the lights, handsome men and beautiful women, hand in hand, body close to body, it was truly a beautiful picture. However, this picture completely infuriated Zackary.

He could no longer restrain his raging heart. His face turned ashen, and he spoke word by word, "Penelope, I forbid you to dance with Everett!"

The whole room was shocked, Mr. Zackary, he openly declared war on his love rival, Penelope!
