Chapter 426 Zack, we don't have a next life anymore

A woman who was available to every man...

Penelope's eyelashes, long as butterfly wings, trembled uncontrollably. Then, all the ripples on her face dispersed, leaving no trace of sadness or joy.

Zackary, I, Penelope, was not so easily hurt by you again!

Upon hearing Zackary's words, Kemp's fist clenched instantly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. He almost couldn't restrain himself from landing a heavy punch on Zackary's face. It was only when Pennie, who was standing next to him, tightly held his arm that he suddenly came back to his senses. However, no matter what, he just couldn't unclench his fists.

Everett still maintained an unruffled demeanor, even, the corners of his lips curled up into a cool and faint smile.

"Zackary, you're overthinking it, my taste isn't that strong as you think. The one with strong taste is you, you even don't spare those who wet the bed, you're really not picky at all! Zackary, I, Everett, admire you!"

"Puff..."

Penelope really hadn't expected that Everett, the noble and aloof CEO, could say such words. She couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

As soon as he lifted his face, he met Lola's eyes, which were as malicious as those of a venomous snake.

Lola was seething, her teeth chattering with rage. She had initially wanted to see Penelope made a fool of, but she never expected that the final conflict would inexplicably be directed at her.

Bedwetting seemed to become her second identity card. Each time it was mentioned, she would be filled with shame and despair, as if she wanted to die from the pain.

Especially this time, her arch-enemy Penelope was right there, she was still mocking her!

Unbearable!

Lola gritted her teeth secretly, exerting a great deal of effort to manage her expression.

"Mr. Murray, I admit, I was indeed caught in some unflattering photos, which are the insurmountable pain of my life. But I was innocent, if it wasn't for my sister conspiring with Ralph against me, how could I have been victimized like that!"

"Sister, I always meant well for you, why wouldn't you ever let me go! Fine, you hurt me, I don't blame you, because you are my sister. But why did you have to cruelly hurt our mother, condemning her to a lifetime of pain, bedridden, living like the walking dead?!"

Alright, here we go again!

Penelope couldn't help but roll her eyes dramatically. Lola, this pure lotus flower, could radiate the aura of a saint anytime and anywhere.

If it had been in the past, she really couldn't be bothered to argue with Lola. But now, thinking of how Chelsea was harmed by her to the point of never waking up, she wished she could tear her to pieces.

The flames burning fiercely in my heart could not be contained no matter what.

"Lola, stop calling me sister. The thought of having a bed-wetting little sister makes me want to vomit."

Penelope stared at Lola with icy eyes, "Also, stop playing the saint in front of me, it's nauseating. How you ended up in Kaleb's bed, you know better than anyone! As for mom... Chelsea, your deeds will catch up with you one day, there will be nowhere to hide!"

The matter of Luisa lying, Everett and Kemp had already begun to investigate, and now, they had already found a clue.

Luisa's son was kidnapped and his whereabouts are still unknown.

She would harm Chelsea, surely someone was using her son to coerce her. She had no choice but to help them harm Chelsea, and incidentally frame her.

However, the whereabouts of Luisa's son were still unknown. If her son couldn't return safely, she certainly wouldn't be willing to reveal the truth.

And there was Salma...

Since that night, after she had made that call to her, she seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. Kemp and Everett's people had been looking for her for a long time, but still had not found any trace of her.

However, she believed that it was only a matter of time before she was found. She didn't believe that a living person could just vanish from the face of the earth!

Lola had thought that the matter concerning Chelsea was flawlessly designed by her, and that it was impossible for anyone to find out. But for some reason, after hearing Penelope's words, she felt inexplicably uneasy.

However, Lola was, after all, Lola. Soon, she regained her composure.

She stared coldly at Penelope, "Sister, I, Lola, have never done anything wrong, my conscience is clear! Sister, as the saying goes, 'As a man sows, so shall he reap.' One day, the one who will have nowhere to hide, will be you!"

"Well, let's just wait and see then!" Penelope closed her eyes lazily, too tired to bother with Lola anymore.

Lola was so angry that her chest was heaving violently, Zackary was sulking alone with a gloomy face, while Penelope, on the other hand, had achieved a moment of tranquility.

Although Landfort was just a county town, it was particularly successful in developing ancient city tourism, and its prosperity was not inferior to that of big cities.

Everett and his group had already booked the presidential suite in the hotel within the ancient city. After Penelope and her group got out of the car, they headed straight to their respective rooms.

The hotel in the ancient city looked just like a palace. Most tourists visiting the ancient city chose to stay in hotels outside the city, because the price of this hotel inside the ancient city was really too expensive.

The presidential suite, moreover, did not have a six-figure price for one night, it was unattainable.

Tonight, four presidential suites were booked all at once, making the hotel manager extremely delighted. Moreover, several of the guests who arrived were influential figures who could shake Sea City with a stamp of their feet. The hotel manager wished he could use all his skills to make these VIPs feel at home.

Penelope had no interest in the hotel manager's flattery. After a simple dinner, she left the hotel alone, wanting to take a look at the Stone of Eternity.

The ancient city nestled against the mountain and near the water, its scenery was indescribably elegant. Walking through it, it felt as if one was a nobleman, a prince or princess living in this ancient city.

Petals filled the sky, falling gently, creating a picturesque scenery. Unintentionally, a few petals flew by, unknowingly captivating someone's eyes, becoming an indelible mark in someone's heart.

Penelope looked slightly dazed. The last time she visited this ancient city was about five years ago. That time, she came with Zackary. They made a lifelong promise under the Stone of Eternity.

They also wrapped their group photo with a lover's knot and placed it in a wooden box, quietly burying it under the mud of the Stone of Eternity. He said, this was fate decided over three lifetimes, in the next life, they would still be together.

Being with him was too painful. In her next life, she didn't want to be with him anymore. Therefore, she had to dig up that wooden box and throw it away.

Perhaps, that deep love was so profound that even the place where the wooden box was buried was exceptionally easy to find.

At that time, there were no tourists near the Stone of Eternity. Penelope was half-squatting on the ground, holding the prepared small tools. Soon, she dug out the wooden box.

Not far from the Stone of Eternity, there was a small cliff. Penelope walked up to that cliff, intending to throw this wooden box down with all her might.

From then on, dust returned to dust, earth returned to earth, in their next life, they were destined to be strangers.

However, after she lifted the wooden box in her hand, the seemingly light box suddenly felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and she couldn't throw it away no matter what.

She stubbornly didn't want to have any entanglement with Zackary anymore, but throwing away this wooden box, throwing away their promise of destiny through three lifetimes, seemed as if she was also throwing away all her joys and sorrows of this lifetime.

"Penelope, what are you doing?!" Just as Penelope was about to grit her teeth and muster the courage to throw the wooden box away, Zackary's furious voice rang out behind her.
