Chapter 342 Pennie, Utterly Defeated!

"I..."

Pennie really didn't want to admit that she had bribed Derek.

Today, she intended to kill Penelope by letting a venomous snake bite her. However, not only did she fail to harm her enemy, but she also ended up losing two of her own fingers.

Alright, having lost two fingers, it was already irreparable anyway, so might as well bite back at Penelope once more.

Who would have known, in the end, all the dirty water was poured onto her.

"Kemp, I don't have any! I don't know him at all, how could I possibly have transferred money to him! It was Penelope who framed me! It must have been her who framed me!"

Pennie said, tears streaming down her face, "Kemp, I really can't understand. Penelope killed our unborn child and caused me to lose two fingers. Why does she still want to hurt me so much!"

"Kemp, I was so sad, I was really so sad..."

Sobbed uncontrollably.

Listening to Pennie's mournful crying, Penelope felt like throwing up, and the onlookers actually felt a bit nauseous as well.

Pennie, you really were too much.

How could such clear transfer records be falsified? Moreover, this screenshot was not presented by Penelope, but by Mr. Murray. What does this have to do with Penelope?!

Kemp didn't comfort Pennie, the girl he loved. He was willing to believe her, but he was not without the ability to discern right from wrong. The transfer record was not falsified.

Just as Zackary was contemplating throwing the shameless Pennie directly into a dung pit, his phone notification sound rang once.

Seeing the video that Samuel had sent him, the corners of his lips couldn't help but lift.

Finally, he had the opportunity to show his abilities!

"Pennie, you said you didn't know him?" Zackary's gaze was faint, but it felt exceptionally cold.

Catching his gaze, Pennie couldn't help but shiver.

Pennie didn't understand why Zackary suddenly asked her this question, but she had already said that she didn't know Derek, and now, of course, she couldn't possibly change her statement.

"Mr. Zackary, I don't know him! Before today, I really had never seen him! I really don't know why he would go so far as to help Penelope harm me!"

Zackary didn't speak immediately, instead he calmly displayed his phone screen in front of everyone.

A short video was playing on his phone. In the video, Pennie and Derek's faces could be clearly seen as they sneaked into a remote and quiet restaurant. What happened next, no one knew.

However, they appeared so familiar with each other in the video that no one would believe they didn't know each other.

"Pennie, is this what you said, that you don't know him at all? You don't know him but still agreed to have dinner together, hmm, your definition of not knowing someone is really unique!"

"I..."

Pennie was so cornered by Zackary that she couldn't utter a word. She bit her lip hard, wanting to defend herself again. However, the screenshots of the transfer and the video had already been released. Even if she had no shame, she couldn't continue to argue dishonestly.

"Pennie," Zackary stepped forward, "tell me, why did you have someone put snakes in Penelope's wardrobe!" He looked down at Pennie, who was curled up on the ground in embarrassment, as if he were a god looking down at a pitiful bug.

"I didn't!" Pennie was determined not to admit it. She shook her head while continuously shedding tears, looking both pitiful and innocent.

While everyone was not paying attention, she desperately signaled Derek with her eyes, indicating him to take all the blame for her.

Her subtle movements, however, were all caught by Zackary.

Zackary gave a cold laugh, speaking nonchalantly, "I don't like hurting the innocent. But if others really don't know their place, I don't mind hurting this innocence!"

Derek's face turned pale.

He wasn't stupid, he could understand what Zackary's words meant.

He said that if he told the truth, he would be the only one to pay the price. But if he continued to lie, he would not spare those he cared about!

Pennie held a certain place in Derek's heart, and he also wanted money, but all of these were insignificant compared to the lives of his family.

Derek threw himself at Zackary's feet, repeatedly kowtowing, "Mr. Zackary, I was wrong! I shouldn't have framed Ms. Sullivan! I will never dare to talk nonsense again!"

"I said, I said everything, it's ..."

"Derek, shut up!" Pennie was on the verge of breaking down when she saw that Derek was about to expose her.

She wanted to stand up and harshly reprimand Derek, to make him shut up, but, she couldn't get up.

Her left hand, it really hurt too much. Even though the doctor had already applied pain relief medication for her, it still hurt so much that her whole body was trembling.

She could only glare at Derek in anger, "Derek, are you really determined to kill me?! What exactly did Penelope give you that made you harm me like this?! Did she seduce you with her body?!"

"Bang!"

Before Pennie could finish her sentence, Lyman casually grabbed an ashtray from the side and brutally smashed it onto her mouth.

The blow was too harsh, instantly filling her mouth with the taste of blood, and causing her so much pain that she couldn't speak.

Lyman had never hit a woman, and he thought he would never be able to do so in his life, but Pennie's mouth was just too foul, he couldn't stand it.

The ashtray fell from Pennie's mouth, landing directly on her left hand wound. The pain caused her to collapse onto the ground, her face pale and contorting in agony.

"Pennie, your breath stinks!" Lyman clapped his hands, his eyebrows furrowed in disgust, looking utterly repulsed.

Actually, the act of men hitting women was really looked down upon.

But the staff members who had gathered around to watch the commotion didn't think Lyman had done anything wrong at all.

On the contrary, it was gratifying.

Although Derek hadn't finished speaking, everyone wasn't stupid. They could figure out what was going on just by thinking a little.

Pennie had someone let a venomous snake bite Penelope to death, but ended up getting bitten herself. She even had the audacity to try and bite back. Such a shameless and malicious act, it wouldn't be too much to not only give her an ashtray, but even smash her face to pieces.

You should know, if it weren't for Penelope's good fortune, she would be the one who is now amputated, or even dead!

Seeing Zackary's cold gaze sweep over him again, Derek hurriedly continued, "It was Ms. Rogers who gave me half a million, asking me to put a snake in Ms. Sullivan's closet. She said, if the venomous snake killed Ms. Sullivan, she would give me another half a million!"

"De..." Pennie wanted to tell Derek to shut up, but her mouth was in so much pain. As soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't utter a complete sentence, instead, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Before she had a chance to calm down, the voices of Zackary and Everett simultaneously echoed in the air, "Pennie, apologize to Penelope!"

Lyman, fearing he hadn't tormented Pennie enough, approached her with a smirk, "This apology better be sincere, or else, I'll post tonight's video online for everyone to see what kind of person you really are, Pennie!"
