Chapter 475 Everett, I believed in you

The little girl appeared to be around five years old. She was wearing a custom-made pink princess dress from a brand, which was delicate and beautiful, but seemed somewhat worn out.

Clearly, she had once lived a very affluent life, but now, life was no longer prosperous.

When she clearly saw her face, shock instantly filled Penelope's eyes.

The little girl's face, it really resembled Everett's!

Everett usually gave off a sense of aloofness and indifference, with a superiority that was palpable. His features also conveyed a sense of depth and nobility.

But she inherited his similar eyebrows and eyes, that little girl looked exceptionally adorable, evoking a sense of pity.

Upon seeing the little girl, Everett was clearly taken aback. Obviously, he had never imagined that a little girl who bore a striking resemblance to him would appear out of nowhere, calling him 'Dad'.

However, he was absolutely certain that he could not possibly have had such a daughter.

In his entire life, apart from Penelope, he had never even kissed another woman, let alone get one pregnant!

Everett was guilt-free and he wasn't afraid of these unscrupulous media that stirred up trouble. His only fear was that Penelope would misunderstand.

With these thoughts, Everett subconsciously tightened his grip on Penelope's small hand, and he softly said to her, "Penelope, she couldn't possibly be my daughter."

He was such a proud man, yet when he spoke these words, his voice was tinged with a noticeable tremor. He was terrified that she would misunderstand him because of those unfounded accusations, that she would ignore him.

In their relationship, he had always been the one-sided party. He was afraid that she would completely withdraw.

Unexpectedly, Penelope simply curved her eyebrows and held his hand back, interlocking her fingers with his, "Everett, I believe in you!"

Everett, I believed in you!

With a light and casual sentence, Everett instantly felt his entire heart was soothed.

With her words, in this lifetime, even if she could never fall in love with him, he was willing to go through hell and high water for her.

"Auntie, I know you like my dad's money, you want to be Mrs. Everett, but, I want a complete home!"

"You deliberately drove a wedge between my parents' relationship, and even forced my mom to leave my dad. Do you know how outrageous your actions are? Give my dad back to me! I beg you, can you please give my dad back to me?!"

"My mother fell seriously ill, I might be losing her soon, Auntie, I beg you, can you give my father back to me? I don't want to become a child without parents!"

With these words, the little girl completely confirmed Penelope's notorious reputation.

Her words clearly implied that Everett was actually innocent. It was just that Penelope was full of cunning tricks, forcing her mother to leave him with no other options, so that she could take advantage of the situation to rise to power.

Moreover, her mother was nearly sick to death, and it was very likely that she was made ill by Penelope.

In short, Penelope was a malicious woman, destroying other people's perfectly happy families, and almost killing someone.

Originally, the group of reporters already had a bad attitude towards Penelope. After hearing what the little girl said, they became even more outraged. After all, in this society, the third party is inherently despised, let alone this kind of shameless method to climb up, almost driving the original partner to death.

If it weren't for the fact that murder was illegal, the reporters on the scene really wished they could smash their cameras and video cameras on Penelope's head.

Upon hearing the little girl's words, Penelope's face turned slightly pale.

She didn't do anything wrong, yet in an instant, she became a homewrecker, a third party with no principles or boundaries.

She also had children, she knew, the nature of children, was all innocent and kind, she didn't believe such a small child would intentionally harm her.

She felt that there must be some misunderstanding here.

She ignored the sharp words of the reporters, slightly bending down to meet the gaze of the little girl.

"Little girl, was your father really Everett? Did you perhaps make a mistake?"

Penelope truly meant well with her words. She genuinely didn't want an innocent little girl to be instigated by others and do something wrong.

The little girl had already been crying hard, and with Penelope's words, she cried even harder.

There was quite a tendency to cry a river.

The little girl didn't have to say a word, her tearful and pitiful crying alone had already given her the upper hand.

Seeing her sobbing so pitifully, the reporters on the scene were instantly flooded with sympathy, and they wished they could rush up and tear Penelope, this shameless third party, to pieces.

"Penelope, what do you mean by this? You've already destroyed someone's family, and now, are you forcing this poor girl to even deny Mr. Murray as her father?! Penelope, you've gone too far! I've lived for more than half a century and I've never seen a woman as shameless as you!" A grizzled old journalist couldn't stand it anymore, he bellowed at Penelope with his neck stiffened.

"Yes, Penelope, I know Mr. Murray is rich. Marrying him, you, a mere wild hen, would become a phoenix! But one must have a conscience. You've driven his family apart. How is your behavior any different from that of a beast?" A young journalist couldn't help but speak out.

Having been inexplicably splashed with such a large bucket of dirty water, even the mentally strong Penelope would feel somewhat upset.

She really couldn't understand, she had been living very hard, she was guilt-free, she didn't know why, there were still so many people who wanted to deliberately smear her.

Looking at Penelope's pale face, Everett was heartbroken.

He held her in his arms, protecting her from some overly emotional reporters.

At this moment, he could naturally speak up for her, but he knew clearly in his heart that if he didn't present solid evidence, and only said that this little girl was not his flesh and blood, no one would believe him. Instead, it would push her further into the limelight.

He had to wait until he obtained concrete evidence before he could give her justice.

"I promised to give everyone an explanation!"

Everett tightened his grip on Penelope, his gaze slowly and sharply sweeping over the faces of the reporters. His voice wasn't particularly loud, but it inexplicably exerted a sense of oppression, miraculously quieting the scene.

"Penelope did not destroy anyone's family, let alone be the third party! I will present the evidence! Once the truth comes out, I want all of you to apologize to her!"

Everett had said so, and that group of reporters didn't dare to press on relentlessly.

After all, the Murray family was extremely wealthy. Offending the renowned Mr. Murray was not a joke. If they really upset him, their media could be transformed into a pig farm in a matter of minutes.

The reporters dispersed one after another. Penelope was about to ask the little girl why she called Everett "Dad", who sent her over today, when her cell phone began to ring urgently.

Zackary.
