Chapter 48 Penelope Sold Herself

Penelope was greatly startled by Nora's actions. She knew that Nora and her son Joseph were very unkind to Penelope, but she never imagined that she would be so violent towards Corona, hitting her with whatever she could get her hands on.

Corona, how much she had suffered when she couldn't see!

The words that Nora just said, Penelope also heard. It was too late for her to pull Nora away now, fearing that it would hurt the child in Corona's belly. She quickly rushed over, tightly protecting her belly, and took the hit for her.

"Penelope, how are you?" Corona, seeing Penelope getting hit, felt worse than when she herself was hit.

She anxiously supported Penelope, "Penelope, does it hurt a lot? I'll take you to the hospital!"

"Get lost! I'm disciplining my daughter-in-law, don't you dare interfere! If you dare to interfere, I'll hit you too!"

Nora put her hands on her hips, like a teapot. She spat fiercely, displaying an arrogant demeanor as if she was the most powerful woman in the world.

"Corona came here tonight to see me! What gives you the right to casually throw dirt on her?!"

Penelope steadied herself, shielding Corona behind her. She coldly shouted at Nora, "Even if Corona is your daughter-in-law, you have no right to treat her like this!"

"Pah!"

Nora looked into Corona's eyes, filled with nothing but contempt, "A wretch who cuckolded my son, I'll do whatever I want to her!"

"She wouldn't even let my son touch her, yet she got pregnant with another man's child. Where is my son supposed to put his face?! If she has no shame, messing around with others, she should pay the price!"

"Get over here!"

Penelope subconsciously grabbed Corona's hand, preventing her from going to Nora's side, but she still slowly pried her hand open.

Corona gently shook her head at her, "Penelope, you better go back quickly, I can't ignore my grandma!"

Penelope was unwilling for Corona to suffer with Nora. She knew that the child in her belly should be Devon's. She liked Devon so much, she definitely didn't want to lose this child.

How could she protect this child if she went back with Nora, who was so aggressive, malicious, and unreasonable?!

But she couldn't selfishly harm Corona's grandmother!

"Corona..."

"Penelope, don't worry, I will take good care of myself," Corona said, suppressing a sob in her throat. "Penelope, you also need to take good care of yourself. We all need to be well. The road ahead is still long!"

After saying this, Corona quickly walked towards Nora's side.

Nora grabbed her hair, viciously pushed her forward, and then dragged her away, cursing and swearing as she went.

Watching Corona being bullied mercilessly by the shrew, silent tears slid down Penelope's cheeks.

They were really too insignificant, they couldn't even control their own fate.

They, like pitiful ants, amidst the rolling red dust and the ten thousand feet of vanity, could only be at the mercy of others.

Penelope wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes forcefully. She wanted to control her own destiny, she wanted to protect the people she cared about, she wanted those who had hurt her to pay the price.

But in this lifetime, where did she go to find such an opportunity?!

Thinking of Corona, thinking of Ethan, Penelope's heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife. She was racking her brains thinking about how to raise money, when she suddenly thought of something very important.

Before, while she was chatting with people on the set, she had heard a male extra say that there was a quite famous gold-selling cave in Sea City, Sunlight Snow.

The term "Sunlight Snow" sounded noble and elegant, but what was involved in it was not anything particularly noble.

There, it was a playground for wealthy men, many of whom were willing to spend a fortune just for a smile from a beautiful woman.

The most famous thing about that place was the auction activities at night.

What was auctioned off at Sunlight Snow was not some valuable item, but a woman's first dance.

To put it nicely, it was the first dance. But everyone knew the truth, it was about helping the rich find romance. Men spent so much money on it, it was impossible that it was just for a dance with a woman.

There simply wasn't such an innocent man in the world!

That night, the woman who was chosen for the first dance would end up with the man who chose her, and thereafter, she would be his long-term lover.

Penelope sat in front of the vanity, silently observing the woman in the mirror.

This face, it was really beautiful!

She had looked at herself in the mirror for so many years, and every time, she was still amazed by her own beauty.

Even then, she was already gravely ill, thin as a stick, and her face, without any makeup, still possessed a breathtaking beauty.

In fact, God is fair. Some people may not have beautiful faces, but they can live a happy and fulfilling life. God gave her a face that everyone envied, but also gave her a lifetime of pain and hardship.

If she could choose, she would rather have an ordinary face than endure so much sorrow and helplessness.

However, she had to admit, this face did have its uses, such as, for instance, going to Sunlight Snow.

She had heard the male ensemble actor say that a girl had auctioned off her first dance at the Sunlight Snow, fetching a high price of eighty million.

She had seen the photo of that girl, even if it was meticulously photoshopped, it couldn't compare to her face that could topple nations.

She just never wanted to take this step, even if her Zackary didn't want her anymore, she thought, she wanted to leave this world cleanly.

However, she was at her wit's end now, she could only leave in disgrace.

Auctioning off the first dance, there was a very important requirement for the woman being auctioned.

The rich, they all liked novelty. They hoped that the affection they had bought with a lot of money was also fresh and clean.

Penelope had been involved with a man and had a child, which was actually not acceptable. But living in this society where medicine and technology are so advanced, there is such a benefit that even the fake can become real.

Penelope swallowed her surging humiliation, took a few painkillers, and went to the hospital for a minor repair surgery.

After the surgery, the doctor repeatedly warned that sexual intercourse must be avoided within a month. Penelope agreed, but she felt desolate inside.

She came to have this surgery, just to make money at night!

I didn't even know what kind of disgustingly greasy old man would have taken a picture of himself tonight.

The thought of being bought by an old man with a Mediterranean beer belly and sausage lips made Penelope find it extremely hilarious.

Laughing and laughing, she felt like crying again.

After tonight, all those things Zackary had said to her in the past had come true.

She was Penelope, a woman as fluid as water, desired by all men.

She, Penelope, was really dirty.

In the afternoon, Penelope had gone to Sunlight Snow.

The manager over there was worried that the woman leading the first dance at tonight's auction wouldn't be stunning enough. But upon seeing Penelope, he suddenly felt the whole world light up.

At that moment, she had her styling team do Penelope's makeup and select a gown, determined to make her the center of attention at the ball that night.

When Penelope was taken upstairs to do her makeup, she surprisingly saw Zackary.
