Chapter 443 Penelope, I No Longer Love You!

Elsa's face turned pale. She crawled in front of Samuel, pitifully grabbing his trouser leg, "Don't hurt Ashlynn, I beg you, don't hurt Ashlynn!"

"We didn't want to hurt her originally, but you're so stubborn. You wouldn't speak unless we cut off her arm or leg!" Samuel, like a magician, pulled out a knife. He waved the gleaming knife in front of Elsa, "Tell me, should I cut off her left arm or right arm first?"

"Such a beautiful little girl, missing arms and legs, her life, it's all ruined!"

Elsa lowered her head, her face pale as a sheet. Her eyes were filled with painful struggle. Finally, she gritted her teeth, "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Just don't hurt Ashlynn, I'll tell you everything!"

"I knew, I made a mistake, I deserved to die, I deserved to rot in jail, but Ashlynn, she knew nothing, she was innocent, I beg you, please don't hurt her, okay?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go and ruin her right now!" Samuel obviously didn't have that much patience, he threatened Elsa with a nasty tone.

"Stop, stop, stop! I'm about to say it! About to say it!"

Elsa's face was almost touching the ground. She took a deep breath, as if she had made a great resolution, "It's... it's Ms. Sullivan!"

"It was Ms. Sullivan, the one who played the third female lead in the 'Great General' crew!"

Samuel's brows furrowed, his face instantly turning somewhat unsightly. If it weren't for his disdain for hitting women, he really wanted to kick Elsa in the face.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could it possibly be Ms. Sullivan! If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll break your daughter's arms and legs!"

"I didn't talk nonsense! Every word I said was the truth! I took Ms. Sullivan's money and did things for her! Ashlynn really didn't know anything! I beg you, please don't hurt her!"

"I...I owed gambling debts, the underground bank was after me for money. If I didn't pay back that two million, they were going to kill my entire family!"

"I didn't want to hurt Mr. Zackary, I really didn't want to hurt him, but I couldn't just stand by and watch my whole family lose their lives! Please, send me to jail, as long as you don't hurt Ashlynn, I'm willing to do anything! I beg you!"

"I don't believe it was Ms. Sullivan who instigated you!" Samuel paused, then spoke word by word, "I'm giving you one last chance! Who exactly made you harm the boss!"

"It really was Ms. Sullivan! Even if you killed me, I could only say this! I was really confused for a moment, that's why I wanted to hurt Mr. Zackary! I dare not, I really won't dare to do it again in the future!"

"You woman, you..." Samuel saw that Elsa was still insisting that it was Penelope, he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. He was about to threaten her again, to make her tell the truth, when Zackary's cold and piercing voice echoed chillingly in the air, "Samuel, let her speak!"

Zackary stepped forward, looking down at Elsa who was kneeling awkwardly on the ground. "Why did she want you to kill me!" he demanded.

"I..."

Elsa's eyes darted away, appearing as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"Did she tell you or not?! Speak! Otherwise, not only you, but all your family members will be implicated because of you, and no one will survive!"

"I..." Elsa slowly lifted her face, looking at Zackary with a face full of panic. "Mr. Zackary, if I tell you the truth... will you really let me and my family go?"

"Speak!"

Elsa was afraid of angering Zackary, fearing that her situation would become even more miserable. She didn't dare to continue bargaining and quickly spoke up, "I asked Ms. Sullivan at the time, I asked her why she would do such a thing when Mr. Zackary was so good."

"She...she said, she didn't want anyone to stand in her way."

Elsa hurriedly lowered her face, looking terrified, "I don't know what Ms. Sullivan's words really mean, but I really need money. She has already given me a million in cash, and there will be another million after the job is done. Thinking about getting the money, I could pay off the underground money house. I did it against my conscience."

"Mr. Zackary, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please, spare my life, okay?"

"No, even if you are unwilling to spare my life, could you please let my daughter go? All of this, it's all my fault, I beg you not to involve others! Mr. Zackary, I beg you!"

"Get out!"

Elsa looked at Zackary in disbelief, she never imagined that he would let her off so easily.

Afraid that Zackary might change his mind, she scrambled forward. Then, something occurred to her and she quickly turned around, "Mr. Zackary, my daughter..."

"She would roll with you!"

Seeing that Zackary was no longer hurting her daughter, Elsa let out a long sigh of relief. Without daring to hesitate for even a moment, she quickly rushed towards the outside of the villa.

"Boss, you just let her go like that?!"

"What, did I need your approval to do things?!"

Samuel shivered weakly, "No, boss, I'm just worried, what if she's lying? Then, wouldn't we have misunderstood Ms. Sullivan?"

Samuel knew how much his boss liked Penelope, he really didn't want there to be any more misunderstandings between them.

He didn't have much interaction with Penelope, but Cornelia trusted Penelope. He always believed that those trusted by Cornelia wouldn't be bad enough to want to harm others.

"There was no misunderstanding."

Zackary's voice, for a moment, fell silent as if he were a dying man who had seen through the world and had nothing left to live for, "She has long wanted me dead!"

As early as four or five years ago, she had already hired a hitman to try to kill him. Now, her wanting him dead is nothing out of the ordinary.

Blocked her way...

Indeed, it was he, Zackary, who had blocked her way.

She was so eager to marry Everett, to become the mistress of the Murray family, yet he persistently bothered her, trying to prevent her from marrying Everett. Wasn't he just standing in her way!

Penelope, you were really ruthless!

Perhaps, too much time had passed, and he had almost forgotten that she had once hired a hitman to kill him, to the point where he was foolishly considering winning her back.

Her actions this time completely drove him to despair, and also shattered his last shred of affection for her.

Ha!

Didn't she want to overcome all obstacles and marry Everett?

He just wouldn't let her have her way!

What she desired, power, wealth and glory, he would, bit by bit, completely destroy!

Oh, besides money, what she cared about most was that stupid cripple. He would, first, ruin that stupid cripple, to make her understand that his, Zackary's heart, was not something anyone could trample on casually!

His life, Zackary's life, wasn't something anyone could just take away as they pleased!

Penelope, once, I was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to truly separate you and your son. This time, don't even think about seeing that stupid cripple again until your death!
