Chapter 404 Penelope Was Sold

The night shrouded the earth, a round moon hung in the sky, adding a touch of tender intimacy to this silent deep night.

Penelope rose from the medicinal pool and went to the room Xavier had prepared for her to change clothes, intending to make a trip to the Lust Club.

Xavier truly lived up to his reputation as the foremost national medical expert. After soaking in his medicinal bath for a few days and taking the medicine he prescribed for her on time every day, her body felt significantly lighter.

Even though she was already riddled with wounds on the inside, she was still able to stand, to walk normally, to maintain the dignity of a normal person. She was already very happy.

Penelope lowered her gaze, glancing at her trembling fingers that she couldn't control. Immediately, she clenched her slender, pale hand tightly. Even if her body was starting to decay from the inside, she still wanted to act like a normal person in the last moments of her life.

She wanted to act well, to accompany Ethan well, to watch every sunrise and sunset well, not to let down this life she had been given.

Penelope went to Lust Club tonight to attend the cast party.

Penelope had never been fond of social gatherings, but the party that night was specifically organized by the crew to celebrate her discharge from the hospital. The crew had nothing but good intentions, and it would have been quite inappropriate for her not to attend.

Pennie had recently been in the hospital, and Lola had taken leave from the crew to walk the red carpet abroad. Penelope thought that she wouldn't have to deal with these two pests tonight, and the party would be very enjoyable.

As soon as she arrived at Lust Club, Penelope went straight to the private room she had been notified about.

She left quite early, but the traffic jam on the road was severe. By the time she got there, she was already late.

She had thought that there were already quite a few crew members in the box. Unexpectedly, there were only three people in there now.

Assistant director Greyson, and two men she didn't recognize.

Penelope looked at Greyson suspiciously, who also noticed her. He quickly raised his hand to greet her, signaling her to come in quickly.

Greyson was indeed a member of the crew, his presence here was justified. However, Penelope had been through too much. When she saw the lustful eyes of the two men sitting next to him, she immediately sensed their ill intentions.

At that moment, she wanted to leave the private room first, to call and ask the crew member who had invited her over, what exactly was going on.

However, before she could turn around and leave, a fair and sturdy hand tightly gripped her wrist. Immediately after, she was rudely dragged onto the sofa in the private room.

"Let me go!" Penelope struggled with all her might, trying to break free from the man's grip. But she was already too weak, and the man was simply too strong. She couldn't push him away at all.

Greyson glanced at the desperately struggling Penelope, he gave a dry laugh, appearing as if he was not surprised at all.

"Come, Ms. Sullivan, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Walker and this is Mr. Parker. They are both investors of 'Great General'. If you can please these two bosses, I guarantee you'll be overwhelmed with acting opportunities!"

Upon hearing Greyson's words, a chill ran down Penelope's spine. So, it turned out that these people intended to harm her tonight.

Penelope had always known how dark the entertainment industry could be, having experienced similar incidents in the past. However, the thought of tonight's party, which was supposed to be a joyful celebration of her discharge from the hospital, turning into such a disgraceful spectacle, still saddened her.

The one who called her was a makeup artist from the crew.

The little girl had just started her career and was cautious and fearful in front of everyone. Once, she was bullied by a male staff member from the same crew. She even stepped in to help her out. She never thought that she would help others to plot against her.

Indeed, Penelope had casually helped that little girl back then, without ever expecting any gratitude in return.

But since then, her relationship with the little girl had become much closer. When she was hospitalized, she had sent her messages to express her concern several times.

She thought they were friends. She really didn't expect that a seemingly innocent and kind little girl, driven by self-interest, would push her into the fire pit.

She really hadn't expected that the person she trusted, who had called her to notify her about the party, would set her up in such a filthy situation.

In a dazed moment, the one who was just holding Penelope, that is, Mr. Walker, had already pulled her into his arms.

Penelope stiffened, then she began to beat his arm almost frantically.

Yes, there was so much filth around her, but her heart was in the light. No matter what, she would not allow herself to fall into this mire, even in death, she would not be tainted!

"Let me go! You let me go!"

Penelope struggled fiercely while reaching for her phone, intending to call the police.

Greyson had already discerned Penelope's intentions. He snatched her phone and with a deft toss, he threw it to the entrance of the booth.

Penelope wanted to retrieve her phone, but she couldn't even get rid of Mr. Walker. How could she possibly retrieve her phone!

"Let go of me! I don't need you to introduce new plays to me, and I certainly won't accept being manipulated! Let go of me! Otherwise, I will definitely call the police. You are all well-known figures, I don't believe you can afford to lose face!"

Seeing that Penelope still dared to think about calling the police, both Mr. Walker and Mr. Parker's faces turned somewhat unsightly.

Upon seeing the two Gods of Wealth unhappy, Greyson's nerves instantly tensed up.

He looked at Penelope, his face no longer the friendly smile from before, but now carried a clear threat in his eyes and brows.

"Ms. Sullivan, I'm putting it out there today, both Mr. Walker, Mr. Parker, and I, we are attracted to you, we want to sleep with you!"

"Both Mr. Walker and Mr. Parker are people you can't afford to offend. If you serve them well, you will thrive in the entertainment industry. Of course, you also have to serve me well! If I'm happy, adding scenes is not a problem! If you want to add as many scenes as the leading lady, it's just a matter of my word!"

Greyson's mung bean eyes narrowed, his tone shifted, and the threat in his voice became more intense, "On the other hand, if you offend us, you can expect to be blacklisted!"

"Returning the female lead number three in 'Great General'? We've jointly blacklisted you. Even if it's a minor role like the female lead number ten in a small production, don't even think about getting it!"

"Penelope, I advise you to know the score tonight! It's your good fortune that we fancy you! Both Lola and Penny know you well, you're just a sell-out, having served so many people. Serving a few more of us is just a few more opportunities for you. Why do you have to stand in the way of your own future?"

Lola, Pennie...

Even if they couldn't physically be on the set, they didn't forget to make her unhappy! Their reach was really long!

"Penelope, come here!"

Upon hearing Mr. Walker's voice, Penelope instinctively glanced in his direction.

He extended his hand, patted his leg, clearly, he wanted her to sit on it!
