Chapter 78 Crushed Penelope!

"I could explain!"

Penelope was not willing to let the innocent party get away with it. She took a deep breath and then said, "That bank card was indeed mine! But I had given it to someone else a few days ago!"

"Ethan was kidnapped by the kidnappers, they demanded ten million from me. I transferred ten million into this card, take it and ransom Ethan! Those kidnappers were in cahoots with Lola, this time, it was Lola and Pennie who set me up!"

"Penelope, do you think your lies are flawless?" Kemp's eyelids drooped slightly, his dark pupils devoid of any light. "Unfortunately, I don't believe a single word you've said!"

"You hurt me, Penny, time and time again for your success. I will make you pay a price you'll remember for a lifetime!"

Penelope was both desperate and speechless. She found that Kemp, after leaving the dungeon, had not only become stupid but also narcissistic?!

Succeeded in climbing to the top?

He couldn't possibly still think that she was going to great lengths to become his, Kemp's, woman, could he?!

Penelope spoke wearily, "Kemp, I never thought about taking your place! I have no interest in you at all! How could I possibly go against Pennie!"

"Ha!"

Kemp, however, did not believe Penelope's words at all, "I only believe in evidence!"

Kemp suddenly turned around. Penelope thought he was about to leave the yard, but to her surprise, the next second she heard his cold voice, as if it came from hell, "Penelope, it's time for you to pay the price!"

Penelope was wondering what kind of price Kemp wanted her to pay, when the next second, several men rushed over and firmly tied her up.

Moreover, they didn't stop at just binding her body. They eventually tied the other end of the thick rope to Kemp's car.

Realizing Kemp's intention, Penelope was suddenly chilled to the bone. He was actually planning to drag her with the car!

"Kemp, hurry up and have them let me go! I didn't harm anyone! You have no right to treat me like this!"

A sharp pain twisted in her stomach, Penelope's body jerked violently, and she vomited a large mouthful of blood.

Seeing the large patch of bright red spreading in front of Penelope, Kemp's handsome brows involuntarily furrowed. However, thinking of Pennie's dying state after being hit, all that was left in his heart was coldness.

With his long, straight legs taking a step, he got on the car unhurriedly. The man who was once as refreshing as the breeze and the moon, now, seemed to have nothing left but cruelty.

"Kemp, you let them release me! Release me!"

Being dragged by the car like this, even a physically strong person couldn't bear it, let alone Penelope with her frail and sickly body.

She had been tormented by illness for so long that, in truth, she was no longer afraid of death. However, she still had unfulfilled wishes, so she didn't want to die yet.

A strong desire to survive made her desperately want to break the rope tied around her body. But the rope was so thick that even cutting it was difficult, let alone breaking it by herself.

After tugging the rope hard a few times, Kemp had already stepped on the accelerator.

As the car drove off, Penelope's body uncontrollably lurched forward.

The yard of Kemp's villa was really huge, big enough for him to drive around in circles at will.

The moment her body was dragged, Penelope thought, today might be her day of death.

The clothes worn in winter were thick, but being dragged on the ground like this, coupled with the relatively rough ground in this yard, the back and legs were also burning with pain.

Penelope didn't want to show her vulnerability in front of so many people, but the pain was so intense that it triggered her tear glands. She simply couldn't control her tears.

She was still a bit upset.

She had thought that one day she would die in despair, but she had never imagined that she would die at the hands of Kemp.

Kemp, who had walked through that darkest time with her, supporting each other.

Once he regained his memory, he would surely be very sad, very sad. However, by that time, there would no longer be her, Penelope, in this world.

She didn't want her friend, with whom she had shared life and hardship, to be so upset.

"Kemp, stop! Can you stop, please?! You will regret this! You will definitely regret this!"

Time flew by, always moving forward. In life, the most terrifying thing was regret. She didn't want Kemp to feel regret, but he didn't give himself any chance for redemption.

Penelope's voice grew fainter and fainter, until eventually, she was so distressed that she couldn't even open her mouth.

A dense darkness attacked, instantly swallowing her entire world completely.

Penelope thought that her life had ended just like that.

With all the unwillingness and love-hate, it ended just like that.

Unexpectedly, she was still not dead.

A large basin of cold water was poured on her, causing her to shiver violently from the cold. Slowly, she opened her eyes.

Cold water washed over the wound on her back, causing a burning pain. Penelope instinctively wanted to hug herself to alleviate the pain, but her body was tightly bound by ropes, she couldn't even hug herself.

"Penelope, speak! Why did you hire someone to hit Penny?"

Kemp stood tall and imposing, his chilling presence akin to a death-seeking Rakshasa from hell.

Looking at Kemp like this, Penelope felt an unprecedented strangeness.

Yes, he was no longer the Kemp she remembered.

If he wasn't Kemp, then who would he be?

He... was a devil.

"I didn't!" Penelope shook her head gently, "I didn't make anyone hit Pennie, it was Pennie who deliberately framed me!"

Seeing her dare to slander Pennie again, Kemp's body froze instantly, "Penelope, you really are incorrigible!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around, got in the car, stepped on the gas again, subjecting her to a torment worse than death.

In the midst of chaos, Kemp's car finally came to a halt. Penelope thought that this torment could finally end. He opened the car door, and to her surprise, he walked up to her with an icy demeanor once again.

"Speak, why did you harm Penny like this?! Penelope, I'm giving you one last chance, otherwise, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

Why did she want to harm Pennie?

She didn't even know herself, how could she speak!

Penelope didn't want this day next year to be her death anniversary, but she couldn't bring herself to take on this big mess either.

She could only shake her head gently, "I didn't! It was Pennie who was harming me!"

Kemp's last shred of patience was exhausted, "Since you're so eager to die, I'll oblige you!"

"Cut the rope!"

Upon receiving Kemp's orders, his subordinates promptly cut the rope tied to his car.

He quickly got in the car, sharply turned it around, and then charged fiercely in the direction where Penelope was.

Realizing Kemp's intentions, Penelope's face turned pale instantly.

He actually wanted to crush her to death!

Time, what a terrifying monster it truly is! After only a few short months of separation, Kemp, who was as gentle as jade, who had clearly suffered hardships yet always harbored light in his heart, who seemed to have a broad mind that could encompass everything, how could he have become unrecognizable!
