Chapter 500 She Wanted to Warm Mr. Murray

Penelope knew about Rylee's situation.

Although Everett had not yet posted a statement online to clarify for Penelope about what happened at the Civil Affairs Bureau that day, he had explained it to her.

Rylee was not Everett's daughter, she was the daughter of his elder brother, Gabriel.

When Everett was very young, his parents were schemed against and involved in a severe car accident. At that time, his parents were with his elder brother, whose body was never found and remained missing.

Such a horrific car accident, the chances of survival were almost zero. Everyone said that his elder brother had already died. He also thought that his elder brother had long been gone, until a few days ago, he accidentally ran into Gabriel.

They secretly conducted a verification, they were indeed biological brothers.

The one who caused that car accident was the enemy of the Murray family. He wanted to kill Everett's parents, take away his elder brother, raise him personally, and instill in him a hatred for the Murray family. He wanted to turn the brothers against each other, fighting to the death.

But Gabriel's character was truly exceptional. He was calm, gentle, kind, and noble as jade. No matter how much darkness those people showed him, he still maintained an innocent heart.

Moreover, he was exceptionally intelligent. Even in darkness, his ability to discern impurity was stronger than anyone else's.

He pretended to obey his so-called foster father, but in reality, he was secretly investigating his true origins.

Until, he encountered Everett, who looked almost exactly like him.

Of course, Gabriel could never harm his own younger brother. Even when others were hurting Everett, he was always there, empathetically protecting him.

However, the enemy was cunning. No matter how well he disguised himself, he was eventually discovered to be different by those people.

They wanted to use him to deliver a fatal blow to Everett.

Everett was powerful, he was not afraid of those people. However, their influence was also terrifyingly strong. In that deadly duel, both sides were severely injured, almost to the point of mutual destruction.

At the critical moment, Gabriel protected Everett with his own life.

Those evil forces were completely destroyed by Everett. However, he also lost his beloved elder brother forever.

Before Gabriel died, he told Everett that he had a beloved girl, Felicity, and he also had a child, Rylee. He asked him to help him find his wife and daughter who were lost in the chaos, and to take good care of them.

Everett had been constantly searching for Felicity and Rylee. However, the world was too vast, and he had been searching for more than half a year without finding them.

Unexpectedly, life was like a drama. On the day he and Penelope were to get their marriage certificate, Rylee suddenly appeared, claiming she was his daughter and preventing him from marrying Penelope.

Rylee's sudden appearance that day was orchestrated by Nina.

Nina's family was of Highburn nobility. She had admired Everett for many years, but he had always disregarded her, leaving her both embarrassed and resentful.

She knew she was not in his heart, but she was determined to win him over.

Her family's influence was substantial. She had figured out the relationship between Everett and Gabriel. At the same time, she also discovered that Gabriel had a daughter.

Everett and Gabriel were identical twins. If one of their children had a paternity test with the other, the result would essentially show a father-child relationship.

Unless, more precise gene comparison was done.

Most people confirmed parent-child relationships through DNA testing, but Nina felt her plan was flawless. As long as she insisted that Rylee was her and Everett's daughter, he would definitely have to take responsibility for her.

She grabbed Rylee's mother, Felicity, forcing Rylee to follow her orders and pretending to be her daughter.

However, what she hadn't anticipated was that Rylee wouldn't foolishly let her manipulate him, but instead took the opportunity to seek help from Everett.

Everett had been constantly trying to find ways to rescue Felicity. Naturally, he couldn't bear to see Penelope misunderstood as a homewrecker, but lives were at stake. If he were to clarify for her online, Nina would certainly think her plan had failed. She might become furious out of embarrassment and directly kill Felicity.

He could only pretend to let Nina's scheme succeed for now, secretly searching for Felicity's whereabouts. Once she was safe, he would then clear Penelope's name.

Penelope understood Everett, she supported every decision he made.

Gabriel had saved Everett's life, and she also hoped that he could protect his wife and daughter.

Now, seeing Rylee in danger, Penelope naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing. Seeing those men in black about to shove her into the compartment of a truck, she hurriedly ordered the bodyguard behind her, "Get her back for me!"

The four bodyguards were all loyal to the Hilliard family, they naturally wouldn't go against Penelope's orders.

They lunged forward in a single stride, reaching the few men in black and wrestled Rylee from their grasp.

The night was deep and this stretch of road was usually very quiet at night, with few people passing by. The group of men in black never expected that Penelope and her group would ambush them halfway.

They were shocked and quickly ended up in a fight with the bodyguards that Penelope had brought.

The men in black who were chasing Everett were also four in number. Their skills were on par with the bodyguards brought by Penelope. They were all entangled with the bodyguards, and they simply didn't have the extra energy to deal with Rylee, who had been stuffed into a sack.

Seeing that no one had noticed her situation, Penelope quickly rushed to the side of the truck, forcefully untied the rope on the sack, and rescued Rylee.

"Auntie, thank you."

Rylee had never imagined that the person who saved her would be Penelope. Thinking back to how she had intentionally tarnished her reputation, her watery eyes were filled with remorse.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, that day, I..."

"Rylee, it's okay, I knew you had your reasons."

Penelope soothingly rubbed Rylee's fluffy little head. Knowing the truth, she didn't feel angry about what she had said about her in front of the media that day. She just felt sorry for this sensible child.

At such a young age, she had lost her father, and now her mother had been taken away by bad people. The fact that she could keep going was truly a testament to her strength.

"Auntie, you are so nice." Rylee smiled, her eyes curving happily. "Auntie, I'm so happy that you could be my second aunt."

Auntie Er...

Hearing Rylee's words, Penelope's little face turned slightly red.

She did feel that meeting Everett was the luck of her life, and she would cherish it.

Penelope's thoughts were sometimes quite simple. If people were good to her, she would strive to be good to them in return.

Everett was truly good to her, trusting and supporting her without reservation, and she would warm him well in her last days of life.

Just as Penelope was about to pull Rylee up from the ground, she saw a person in black, wielding a thick, long stick, brutally striking it down on Rylee's head.

"Rylee, be careful!"

Penelope's face turned pale, the stick was so thick, hitting such a small child on the head, she had no way out but death!

Rylee had also heard Penelope's voice. However, the bodyguard's action was just too fast. By the time she wanted to dodge, it was already too late.
