Chapter 1042 Give Me the Photo!
Kelvin's chest was still the most comforting place, like a safe harbor shielding her from the storm, providing the strongest support and reliance.
"I'm not mad, Kelvin, I'm just so sad... so, so sad..."
Her tears soaked his shirt.
If it weren't for Kelvin's unwavering choice to stand by her, believe in her, support her, and be on her side, she might never have been able to overcome the hurdle in her heart and would have remained forever immersed in pain and sorrow.
The person who brought her all these feelings was Brandon.
The Brandon she had always trusted and supported!
How could he have changed so much? In Penelope's mind, Brandon had always been such a gentleman.
"Kelvin," Penelope blinked, tears still clinging to her lashes, "why did you have the evidence but didn't bring it out? Why did you let Thessaly reveal everything?"
Kelvin sighed.
He gently wiped away her tears. "Don't cry."
Seeing her tears broke his heart.
The woman he loved should be carefree, happy, and free. How could she cry like this over another man?
But then Kelvin thought, when the day comes that he leaves, Penelope will cry even more heartbreakingly.
If just Brandon could make her this upset, what would happen if something happened to him? She would be devastated, inconsolable!
And at that time, he wouldn't be able to wipe her tears away!
"I don't want to cry, I don't," Penelope sniffled, "but I can't control it... Why, Kelvin, tell me why..."
Why did everyone else know, but she was kept in the dark!
Kelvin said, "Because Brandon threatened me."
She was stunned. "Threatened?"
"Yes." Kelvin nodded. "He said if I gave you the evidence, he would post Thessaly's photos online."
Penelope pressed, "What photos of Thessaly?"
"Photos of her and Paul at the hotel."
Penelope's pupils contracted sharply.
Oh my God... Brandon did something so despicable!
As a woman, just hearing this filled her heart with sympathy and pain for Thessaly, almost to the point of overflowing!
Thessaly had already been traumatized for life by Paul, and now Brandon had secretly taken those photos.
"So, for Thessaly's reputation and future, I had to keep the evidence to myself and couldn't make it public," Kelvin said. "Penelope, I'm sorry. But I know you can understand me. If it were you..."
If it were her making the choice, she would also protect Thessaly!
"Yes, we can't let those photos get out, but..." Penelope's heart tightened, "but now I know! So, so..."
Brandon wanted to post the photos online, leaving Thessaly with no privacy, humiliating her wantonly!
"Brandon!" She suddenly looked at him. "You, you..."
She was so angry and upset that she couldn't speak, only glaring at him furiously!
At this moment, Penelope understood why Thessaly had suddenly chosen to take action, leave the crew, and sue Paul.
Thessaly was destroying herself!
Kelvin wanted to protect her, but she wanted to reveal the truth!
So, Thessaly used this method to force Kelvin to bring out the evidence and expose Brandon's true nature!
Thessaly, oh Thessaly...
Penelope felt both heartache and helplessness.
Thessaly was bearing such immense pain all by herself, facing it alone. She was so brave!
"Penelope, I didn't make the photos public!" Brandon hurriedly explained. "The photos are still with me; they haven't been released!"
Penelope asked mockingly, "Then when do you plan to release them?"
"I... I won't do that."
Penelope tilted her head back, forcing her tears to retreat.
The tears she shed for Brandon would end here. Enough.
No more tears were worth it. He didn't deserve them.
She could cry for Thessaly, feel sad for Thessaly, but she shouldn't cry for Brandon!
"Really, Penelope, believe me," Brandon said. "I was just afraid you'd find out the truth, so... so I had no choice but to use the photos to threaten Thessaly. I never intended to post them online!"
Anyway, he hadn't posted them online yet.
Since he hadn't done it, he could completely deny it... even if he had really considered it!
However, Penelope could no longer believe him.
Every word Brandon said, she didn't believe a single one, not even the punctuation!
Seeing Penelope's cold gaze, Brandon's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
He understood that if he failed, he would face the current situation. He had known all the consequences from the day he decided to do this.
He thought he could succeed.
He was gambling.
And... Brandon thought he hadn't lost yet! Things were far from over! Not finished!
"Fine, since you don't plan to use the photos to threaten, then give them to me." Penelope extended her hand. "I want the negatives, and you can't keep a single one!"
Brandon replied, "I don't have them with me."
"Then destroy them, have someone destroy them now!"
Brandon hesitated for a few seconds.
And his hesitation already revealed his attitude and answer.
"See, you still can't let go, you still want to hold onto this leverage to threaten Thessaly!" Penelope said. "Brandon, how did you become like this? Why are you such a person? Is this your true nature, and the Brandon I knew before was just a facade?"
"This isn't something the Brandon I knew would do... Why, Brandon, tell me why? How did you become as ruthless as Isabella?"
Thinking about everything that had happened recently, the pressure she had endured, and Thessaly's experiences, what she had faced and gone through... she felt dizzy, the world spinning.
Penelope closed her eyes, then opened them again, hoping the dizziness would lessen.
But unexpectedly... it got worse.
Everything in front of her had double images! Everything was spinning!
Penelope's body swayed slightly, and looking at Brandon's face, it slowly became a blur.
She was about to raise her hand to press her temple, but her body completely lost strength, and she collapsed.
"Penelope!"
"Penelope!"
Kelvin caught her in his arms, holding her tightly!
No one expected her to suddenly faint!
Kelvin was extremely worried; without hesitation, he picked her up and quickly walked out.
"Ryan, get the car, we're going to the hospital!"
"Yes, Mr. Davis!"
Kelvin hurriedly left, carrying Penelope to the hospital.
She couldn't be in danger!
All his thoughts were on Penelope, not even sparing Brandon a glance!
