Chapter 447 Cornelia Slaughtered All Around for Penelope
"Ethan, how could you write such things? What on earth happened to Penelope? Ethan, tell me!"
Ethan's eyes were dead silent, yet from those hollow pupils, tears slowly trickled down.
His small body suddenly curled up into a ball, no matter how much Cornelia asked, he didn't write any more words. Only on his pale, thin face, the tears became more and more.
Cornelia knew how much Ethan loved Penelope, he could never joke about her life or death.
Seeing him in this state, she couldn't bear to pressure him any further. Knowing that Penelope had a night scene to shoot tonight and was still on set, she left Ethan in the care of the servants. Then, she had the driver start the car and quickly head towards Gogwood.
Lola and Pennie, the two leading ladies, were admitted to the hospital, but this did not affect the shooting schedule of the crew. On the contrary, the crew's shooting volume was particularly large in recent days.
Especially Penelope, she was so busy with shooting that she barely had time to properly brew a medicinal soup.
Weston was becoming increasingly satisfied with her performance, constantly adding more scenes for her. As a result, many people in the crew believed that she was given these opportunities due to some unspoken rules set by Weston.
In this world, there has never been a shortage of rumors and gossip. Between Penelope and Weston, everything was clear and aboveboard. She was guilt-free and she couldn't be bothered to explain to the crew.
Many times, some things, when you try to explain, others may not necessarily believe you. On the contrary, they might think you have a guilty conscience and are trying to cover it up. Penelope didn't like to waste her energy.
The activity level was quite high, and recently, Penelope's appetite had also increased significantly.
Fortunately, the crew had extra meals in the evening, otherwise, she would have really starved to death.
Another perfect filming session had come to an end. Penelope rubbed her constantly grumbling stomach and contentedly went to get her extra meal.
The boxed meals provided by the crew were all to Penelope's liking, light yet delicious. Watching the supervisor distribute the boxed meals, she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as the staff handed her one.
Just as I was about to reach out to take it, the boxed meal in front of me was harshly smashed onto the ground.
Penelope was taken aback, the person who knocked her lunch box down was unexpectedly Mylah Watkins.
Mylah was a loyal follower of Lola and Pennie. She was able to get a role in "Great General" because of their influence.
She knew they were annoyed with Penelope. In order to please her best friend and gain more benefits, she made all sorts of trouble for her on the set.
"Ms. Sullivan, I'll get you another boxed meal," the staff member said, seeing the boxed meal had fallen to the ground. She quickly turned around and got Penelope another one.
This boxed meal still couldn't escape the fate of being thrown to the ground by Mylah. She arrogantly looked at the staff standing next to the dining car, "Are you brain-dead or what?! Giving her a boxed meal to eat?! Are you trying to get her full and kill us all?!"
"Mylah, apologize to Nancy!" Penelope said coldly, looking at the arrogant Mylah in front of her as if she was about to fly into the sky.
In ordinary days, Penelope really looked down on the little tricks that Mylah played to annoy her. But if a fly buzzes around your ear for a long time, it's also quite annoying. Plus, this time it involved others, she didn't plan to swallow her anger.
"Apologize to her? Is she even worth it?!" Mylah's nostrils flared almost sky-high, "A fool, daring to send a meal to a deliberate murderer, I already gave her face by not beating her, what's wrong with me scolding her?!"
"Mylah, you better explain yourself! Who is the fool! And who is the murderer!"
"Penelope, you're the murderer! Don't think I don't know, that flowerpot, you deliberately had someone drop it, hitting Lola! You're shameless, you seduced Weston, stole Lola's scenes, and now you even want to kill her. You, a lowlife like you, should be thrown into the gutter, trampled into mud by everyone!"
"As for the fool... the fool, of course, is you, the old hag who shelters this murderer!" Mylah pointed at Nancy and spoke viciously, "You fool, if you dare to send a lunch box to this murderer again, I won't spare you!"
Nancy, who was in her fifties, was naturally upset when a younger person kept calling her a fool.
But she knew that most of the actresses in this crew had powerful backers. She didn't want to offend Mylah, so she had to swallow her pride and speak up, "Ms. Watkins, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just a meal delivery person, I..."
"Get lost! You old fool, it's not your turn to blabber when I'm speaking. Get out of my sight!"
Being scolded like this by Mylah, Nancy's eyes turned red. Penelope's eyes turned cold. She slowly squatted down, planning to directly pick up the box of food on the ground and fiercely smash it on her face, helping her clean her foul mouth.
Before Penelope could pick up the lunch box from the ground, Mylah lifted her foot and stomped on it hard.
"What's this, a murderer, dropped your boxed meal on the ground and still want to eat it? Truly despicable! Since you love eating so much, then eat your fill!"
Saying this, Mylah lifted her foot, which was covered in grains of rice. Her intention was clearly for Penelope to lick the grains of rice off her shoe.
Penelope didn't want to waste a clean boxed meal, but the ones on the ground had already been stepped on by Mylah. If she wanted to throw something at someone, she could only grab a intact boxed meal from the side.
She had grabbed the lunch box in her hand, but before she could smash it into Mylah's face, the crisp sound of a slap echoed in the air. She looked closely and saw Cornelia standing in front of her, fuming with anger. Clearly, that slap was delivered by her to Mylah.
Mylah was completely stunned by Cornelia. She had attached herself to a small investor, and with Lola and Pennie backing her up, she was used to bullying others with her power. She had never suffered such a great humiliation before.
At that moment, she wanted to hit back hard. However, when she clearly saw that the person in front of her was Cornelia, she just couldn't bring herself to slap her in the face.
"Mrs... Mrs. Spencer, how... how did you come over?"
Mylah covered her face, pitifully spoke up, "Mrs. Spencer, did you punish the wrong person? It was Penelope who harmed Lola, she is a murderer, she wanted to kill Lola, you must seek justice for Lola!"
"Penelope, did you tell Mrs. Spencer why you had someone so harmed..."
"Bang!"
Before Mylah could finish her words, Cornelia fiercely slapped her across the face again.
"Mrs. Spencer..."
After receiving these two slaps in succession, Mylah's tears fell in grievance. She really couldn't understand. She was Lola's good comrade-in-arms, so why did Lola's kind mother-in-law have to side with a stranger to bully her?
Who was Cornelia?
The renowned Jayden's apple of the eye, the most prestigious woman in Sea City! With her support, one could swagger around Sea City. On the contrary, if one offended her, even if not tortured to death by Jayden, one could hardly survive in Sea City.
Mylah desperately wanted Cornelia's approval and also wanted to make things difficult for Penelope. With tears in her eyes, she began, "Mrs. Spencer, have you misunderstood something about me?! I really just want to seek justice for Lola!"
"Do you have any idea how shameless Penelope was?! She was flirting with men all over the set just to get more scenes! Ask anyone, everyone in our crew knew that Penelope was a cheap, dirty, despicable, shameless slut!"
