Chapter 87 She Killed Someone!

They were covered with a blanket, he stood at the door, unable to see the specific situation under the blanket, but even if he just thought about it with his toes, he could guess how intimate their bodies were under the blanket at that moment.

We shared the same bed and pillow!

Still on their bed, Zackary and Penelope's!

What did they do before they fell asleep?!

Zackary's eyes filled with blood in an instant, his fists clenched until they creaked. Penelope, playing the virtuous and strong woman in front of him, was now eagerly serving Lyman despite her injuries?!

It was ridiculous that he was still worried about her that night, and after she left, he frantically searched for her all over the world!

He, Zackary, was the biggest joke in the world!

Zackary really wanted to rush over and tear this fickle woman to pieces, but he didn't. Seeing their bodies tightly entwined under the quilt, he could only, stiffly, filled with rage and resentment, turn around and step by step, walk out of the Horse House.

The cold wind blew, sweeping away the thin patch of fallen snow in front of Zackary, and also extinguishing the last bit of warmth in his heart completely.

Lyman and Penelope were both sound asleep, completely unaware of the recent minor incident.

It was said that even when Lyman climbed into bed, there was nothing impure between him and Penelope.

It was simply that, two people purely occupied their own territory on the bed, each having their own sweet dreams.

Moreover, Lyman had a particularly bad sleeping posture. Although he took up some space on the bed, in the middle of the night, he rolled off the bed, making direct contact with the floor until dawn.

When Penelope woke up in the morning, this was the scene she saw: Lyman was sprawled out on the floor, his toes slightly curled up, as if he was practicing some kind of extraordinary martial arts.

Penelope felt extremely guilty. He had taken care of her for so long last night, but in the end, she had made him sleep on the floor. Even though the apartment had underfloor heating, it was still quite cold to sleep on the floor in the dead of winter.

She was afraid that Lyman would catch a cold, so she quickly grabbed a blanket and covered him with it.

Startled by Penelope's touch, Lyman also woke up. He opened his sleepy eyes, "Penelope?"

"Mr. Hilliard, if you're still tired, you should go to bed. The floor is too cold, sleeping on it could easily give you a cold."

At that moment, Lyman realized that he was actually lying on the ground.

However, the feeling of sleeping on the ground seemed not bad either. As long as he could be with Penelope, he felt that the air around him was sweet.

"Penelope, I'm fine, I'm in good health. Not to mention sleeping on the ground, even if I slept on ice, I wouldn't catch a cold! Ah... Ahchoo!"

Penelope, "......" you said you wouldn't catch a cold, didn't you?

Lyman also realized that he had exaggerated a bit, and couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, "Penelope, this time it was an accident! Yes, an accident! Wait for me, I'll wash my face and then make you something delicious!"

Penelope didn't get to enjoy the delicious meal Lyman had made for her. Just after she had finished cleaning up, she received a particularly bad piece of news.

Corona had an incident!

Corona intentionally committed murder, and now, she has been sent to Green Mountain Prison!

Upon hearing the name Green Mountain Prison, Penelope's brow involuntarily twitched a few times.

Green Mountain Prison was the darkest place in the entire Sea City. No matter how much the society valued fairness and justice, the sun could never shine there.

Penelope had been in Green Mountain Prison, she knew how terrifying it was, and Corona was pregnant now, how could she endure such inhuman torture!

Penelope desperately wanted to see Corona, but with her abilities, she simply couldn't.

It was still thanks to Lyman's connections that she was able to meet Corona at Green Mountain Prison.

Green Mountain Prison was different from other prisons, it didn't have a dedicated visiting room. She and Lyman went to the cell where Corona was held.

In just one short night, Corona had been tormented to the point of losing a layer of skin. Seeing her covered in blood, her body trembling non-stop, Penelope's tears uncontrollably began to fall.

She wanted to hold Corona's hand, but her own hand was covered in scars. She was afraid it would hurt, so she dared not hold it lightly.

"Corona, what on earth is going on? How could you have killed someone?"

"Penelope, I didn't kill anyone." In Corona's eyes, there was a deep sorrow. She was the same age as Penelope, only twenty-two this year, but her once clear and lively eyes were already full of vicissitudes.

"It was Linda who killed the person! Devon was there at the time, he clearly saw that it wasn't me who committed the murder, it was Linda, but he still made me take the blame for her without any hesitation!"

It's Devon again!

Penelope was so furious that she gritted her teeth. She just couldn't understand how on earth there could be such unprincipled men!

No wonder he was good friends with Zackary, birds of a feather really do flock together!

"Corona, don't worry, the upright need not fear a crooked shadow! Since you didn't make any mistakes, I will definitely find a way to save you!"

"I can't get out," Corona numbly shook her head, her unparalleled eyes filled with desolation.

"Devon said that I would be sentenced to fifteen years in prison,"

"Fifteen years?!" Penelope couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Fifteen years, from the age of twenty-two to thirty-seven, were the best times in Corona's life. How could she have spent them in despair in prison?!

"Corona, you didn't kill anyone, he has no right to treat you like this! Yes, evidence! I will definitely find the evidence to prove your innocence, to overturn the case for you!"

"There's no evidence left," Corona said with a self-mocking smirk. "Even the surveillance outside the box has been destroyed by Devon. He's the witness, he says I killed someone, I can't defend myself!"

"Was there no one else in the box?! What about fingerprints? Linda killed with a knife, it's impossible not to leave fingerprints!"

After asking this question, Penelope found herself somewhat ridiculous again. Yes, Devon had destroyed all the surveillance outside the box, how could he possibly leave such obvious evidence as fingerprints!

Seeing Corona not speaking, Penelope anxiously asked again, "Corona, there are other people in the box, right?! We can have the others in the box testify for you!"

Corona looked deeply into Penelope's eyes, she didn't speak immediately. After a long, long time, she whispered, "Penelope, there's no one else in the box."

Corona lied, in fact, there was another person in the box, Zackary.

She knew that Zackary could not possibly testify for her. If Penelope found out about this, she would definitely go to Zackary for help. And he hated her so much, who knew how he would humiliate her then!

She didn't want her most cherished Penelope to suffer such indignities for her sake.

"There's no one else..." Penelope murmured. No one else meant that Corona had to endure the wrongful imprisonment of fifteen years! But she couldn't accept it! Why should they remain clean, yet bear all the filth?!

"Penelope, I want to ask you to do something for me," Corona said, gently gripping her hand in a daze.
