Chapter 391 Let the truth from four years ago come to light!

Previously, Cornelia had been trapped in a misconception, convinced that her son Zack was gay, which initially led her to believe that he was interested in Lyman. Later, she fell head over heels in love with Everett.

Looking back now, whether Zack from her family said that Lyman and Penelope were not suitable, or Dylan and her were not suitable, or even Everett and her, it was all because the person in question was Penelope.

He was so weird, so eccentric, just because he liked Penelope, but was too awkward to admit it!

The internet was abuzz, Mr. Zackary had a soft spot for Mr. Murray and wanted to win him over. That night, wasn't it him who tried to prevent Everett and Penelope from sharing a room!

Having understood, Cornelia's mind instantly became much clearer, but in a blink of an eye, her heart was once again swallowed by intense anger.

In other words, Dylan had known for a long time that Ethan was not his son, yet he had the audacity to deceive her with Zack! Did they find it amusing to see her being played like a fool?!

The more she thought about it, the angrier Cornelia became. She directly called Dylan, "Dylan, I'm at your older cousin's hospital! Get over here right now!"

Dylan didn't understand why his mom suddenly got so angry, but he couldn't bear to see her upset, so he hurried over immediately.

As soon as he entered the ward, Cornelia grabbed his collar, fuming with anger, "Dylan, have you grown some guts?!"

The usually stern and decisive President Dylan, who never went back on his word, was now in front of Cornelia, as docile as a little lamb, "Mommy, don't be angry, it will give you wrinkles."

After hearing Dylan's words, Cornelia's anger had significantly subsided, but a fire was still burning fiercely in her heart.

"Dylan, make yourself clear! How much do you actually know about what's going on between Zack and Penelope!"

Dylan originally didn't want to get involved in the matters between Zackary and Penelope. Now, hearing Cornelia's words, he knew that she had already learned about Ethan's background.

Not wanting to upset his own mother, Dylan decided to spill everything he knew to Cornelia.

"Mommy, there was a big stir in Sea City a while ago. At a woman's funeral, Zack gave her a send-off as if she were his wife. That woman was Penelope."

"Zack and Penelope were married, Ethan was their child."

"But now, they are already divorced. Mommy, that's all I know."

"What?!" Cornelia's face changed dramatically, "Zack was actually married to Penelope?! Impressive! So, he doesn't even need to tell me about such a big thing as marriage, right?!"

Cornelia raised her hand, really wanting to slap the infuriating Zackary off the bed, but seeing his painful and vulnerable look, she couldn't bear to do it. In the end, she didn't slap him in the face.

"Zack loved Penelope, they were already married with children, why did they have to divorce?!"

The more Cornelia thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. "No, this isn't right. For over four years, Lola has been with Zack, and Ethan is already four years old. Logically, Penelope should have been with him long ago. Why is their relationship so messy?! Zack had an affair during his marriage, didn't he?!"

Seeing no one respond to her words, Cornelia's temper flared even more. She coldly addressed Samuel, "Samuel, what exactly is going on between Zack, Penelope, and Lola?!"

Samuel knew that the boss had always wanted to keep his affair with Penelope from the Spencer family. However, he also knew how terrifying Jayden could be.

If he had dared to withhold information, he would probably have been beaten to a pulp by Jayden before the boss even recovered from his illness.

After a fierce internal struggle, Samuel still decided to tell Cornelia everything.

"Madam, the eldest son and Ms. Sullivan got married about half a year ago. Prior to that, he and Ms. Sullivan had a rather unpleasant past."

"Four years ago, no, it's almost five years now. Nearly five years ago, the boss and Ms. Sullivan were a pair of lovers who were very much in love. However, later on, it seemed that Ms. Sullivan fell in love with someone else, dumped the boss, and even hired a hitman to try to kill him."

"The boss had a serious car accident at that time, the Spencer family didn't know about it, everyone thought the boss was a poor kid. It was Ms. Hilliard who sold a kidney to raise money for the boss's treatment, that's how the boss managed to survive."

"So, the boss harbored a deep hatred for Ms. Sullivan, and was full of gratitude towards Ms. Hilliard."

"What? You're saying Penelope hired a hitman to run over Zack?!" Cornelia's lips tightened, and she was silent for a long time before she spoke word by word, "I don't believe Penelope would do such a thing!"

In fact, there wasn't much interaction between Cornelia and Penelope, but for some reason, she just believed in Penelope, believed that she would not do such a heinous thing.

Perhaps, it was because Penelope was too much like a younger Chelsea, she couldn't bring herself to hate her.

Perhaps, Penelope had educated Ethan too well. She always felt that a woman who could educate such a sensible child couldn't be too bad.

The things in here, surely weren't that simple!

Drawing on her years of valuable experience fighting white lotuses, Cornelia felt that Penelope might have been framed by someone!

"Who said that Penelope hired a hitman to kill Zack?!"

"Madam, it was the driver who crashed into the boss who said it." Samuel paused, then continued, "He said Ms. Sullivan gave him a million dollars to find a way to make the boss disappear completely!"

"Could that person still be contacted now?!"

"This..." Samuel pondered for a moment before he respectfully replied, "This might be a bit difficult. At that time, the man was sentenced to three years. After he was released from prison, I heard that he went abroad. Finding him now might not be easy."

"I didn't believe that Penelope hired a killer!"

Cornelia saw Jayden sitting calmly and immovably on a chair to the side, and she instantly understood that he had already known about these matters long ago.

Cornelia sneered coldly, "Impressive, very impressive! The whole family knew about these things, and only she was kept in the dark like a fool. She even got the father of her great-grandson wrong. Look at how foolishly she paired Penelope and Dylan together, they must be very happy, right?!"

"Jayden!"

Being called out by his own wife, Jayden's handsome face, which always seemed to be covered by a millennium of frost, instantly cleared up like the first thaw after winter snow, "Cornelia, what's wrong?"

"You knew about Penelope and Zack, didn't you?!" Before he could speak, she sneered again, "How did I not see it, you're so old and yet so capable!"

Seeing Cornelia's puffed up appearance, Jayden instantly understood that his wife was angry with him. His internal alarm bells rang loudly, and he quickly tried to appease her, "Cornelia, I'll kneel on durians when I get home tonight."

Seeing Jayden's sincere apology, Cornelia's expression lightened up a bit. She spoke with a tsundere tone, "You don't need to kneel on durians! One month... no, one week, you need to find out what exactly happened four or five years ago! Otherwise, we will sleep in separate rooms for the rest of our lives!"
