Chapter 238 Showing Off Love
Monica: [600 million dollars, that's so much money, I can't even imagine it.]
[Wait, Penelope, someone has dug up your family background.]
[Oh no, they're digging deeper. It's over; they've uncovered the old feud between the Cooper family and the Davis family.]
[Penelope, what are you doing? Answer your messages and pick up the phone!]
Penelope's phone kept ringing, and she was starting to feel numb to it.
Someone even wrote an article titled. [The Big Reveal of Penelope's Background—How She Went from the Daughter of Mr. Davis's Father's Killer to the Wife of LA's Top Rich Family's Heir.]
Monica sent her the link to the article.
Penelope read it. She had to admit, the author was very detailed. He knew everything, including the death of Kelvin's father, Dr. Cooper's fault, imprisonment, and so on. However, five minutes later, the article was deleted, and the account was banned. It seemed Kelvin had taken action.
Penelope immediately called Kelvin. Before he could speak, she bluntly said, "This topic has sparked widespread discussion. Are you satisfied now? My privacy is gone, and I've become the subject of idle gossip and entertainment to satisfy their curiosity. Are you happy?"
She hung up without giving Kelvin a chance to explain. Kelvin was in a meeting, discussing how to handle the online public opinion.
Penelope's words echoed clearly throughout the conference room. The head of the PR department shrank back and lowered his head.
"Did you hear that?" Kelvin tapped his fingers on the table. "Her dissatisfaction is very clear. I want this public opinion suppressed by this morning!"
"Delete or ban those articles, videos, and all sorts of nonsense!"
"If she's unhappy, I'll hold you accountable!" Kelvin was angry.
The PR department employees nodded in unison.
"The meeting is over." Kelvin stood up and strode out.
As he walked out, he ran into Timothy and Monica.
"Mr. Davis, you've become an internet sensation today," Monica said, "There's a poll online, and you're the number one man women want to marry! Spending millions to buy a crown for your wife, you've really shown off your love in front of everyone!"
Timothy rubbed his chin. "Kelvin, do you have too much money? You could have bought it for 300 million dollars, but you spent double? That's not how you should spend money."
Kelvin replied, "I wanted to."
Timothy asked, "The problem is, you spent the money, but is Penelope in your arms? It's already late, and Penelope hasn't come to the office."
"Do I need to report to you whether she comes to the office?" Kelvin asked.
"I'm her department boss!"
"But I'm your boss," Kelvin said. "Which means she's also your boss."
Timothy was at a loss for words. Kelvin strode away.
"Mr. Davis." Ryan followed behind him. "Tyler from the marketing department is coming to report later, and you have a lunch appointment with the chairman of Skyline Designs. You..."
"Cancel it. Move the lunch to tomorrow," Kelvin said, "I have to go out at noon, no time."
"Where are you going?"
Kelvin glanced at him. Ryan quickly covered his mouth. He had accidentally asked too much.
Kelvin's whereabouts were not for him to question. He hurriedly handed over the car keys with both hands.
Kelvin stepped on the gas and drove straight to Penelope's place.
At that moment, Penelope was at home, rummaging through her things, looking for a safe place to hide the Heart of the Ocean.
However, she felt that nowhere was safe!
After a lot of fuss, she was sweating and finally sat on the couch, staring at the crown.
It was a huge trouble.
She groaned and lay down on the couch, but suddenly felt a slight pain in her stomach.
This made her panic and she ran to the bathroom to check.
Fortunately, she was not having any sudden issues.
However, the slight pain made her uneasy. After taking some medicine, she called Dr. Harry.
Dr. Harry asked about her symptoms and replied, "You are probably too tired and not getting enough rest. I saw the news online. Last night at the jewelry exhibition, you wore high heels and stood for a long time. Your body can't handle it."
"Dr. Harry, what should I do now?"
"Rest in bed for three days and increase your medication from three times a day to four," Dr. Harry advised, "The first three months of pregnancy are very critical, Mrs. Davis. You need to be extra careful."
"Okay, I'm already lying in bed."
"If the pain gets worse, you need to come to the hospital immediately. For now, just observe."
Penelope kept Dr. Harry's advice in mind.
She took her medicine and was about to fall asleep when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
Who would come at this time?
"Coming," Penelope said, wearing slippers and rubbing her eyes as she went to open the door.
Before opening it, she hesitated for a second and looked through the peephole.
Kelvin!
How could it be him?
The doorbell rang again, and Kelvin kept pressing it. From the look of it, he wouldn't stop until she opened the door.
"Penelope, I know you're in there," Kelvin said, "Open the door."
She bit her lip and angrily replied, "Yes, you have Brian watching me 24/7, knowing my every move."
"I know you're angry. I'm already having the PR department handle the online public opinion urgently. It will all be deleted by today. No one will say anything bad about you anymore."
Penelope asked, "Why didn't you manage it when those comments first came out? Now that it's blown up, you pretend to delete them. Do you think I'm a child who can be easily fooled?"
Having been a couple for years, she could roughly guess Kelvin's thoughts.
If he didn't want anyone to talk about her, he would have instructed the PR department to keep an eye on the internet during the jewelry exhibition and delete any news articles immediately.
Why wait until this morning to handle it?
Kelvin wanted everyone in LA to know her, remember her, and talk about her.
He wanted her to be firmly labeled as Mrs. Davis.
"Penelope." Kelvin's voice, though muffled by the heavy door, carried a sigh. "Sometimes, being too smart isn't a good thing for a woman."
"Smart? Kelvin, I'm too foolish; that's why I've always been under your control!"
"When you should play dumb, don't be so calculative. Penelope, I just want to be with you, that's all."
Penelope laughed mockingly, "So you let the netizens attack me and insult me?"
"They comment I didn't want the Heart of the Ocean, that it's fake. They say I married up, and I don't deserve to be your wife."
"They also say I'm a bitch, that even though the truth is out, I married you as the daughter of your enemy, which shows that I'm extremely cunning."
