Chapter 916 Penelope, I'm Taking You Home
He still had a bit of conscience left, pulling the blanket up to cover Thessaly's body.
But the bodyguard, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized her. "Wait a minute, is that Thessaly?"
The others quickly gathered around upon hearing this.
"Yeah, it's her!"
"Get Mr. Davis on the line, now!"
Penelope and Thessaly had disappeared together. If they found Thessaly, then Penelope must be nearby!
Or maybe, she was in this small motel!
However, they saw the bruises on Thessaly's shoulders and neck, and a sense of foreboding swept through the bodyguards' minds.
If Thessaly was in this state, then what about Penelope?
The bodyguards exchanged glances, not daring to think further!
If they barged into other rooms and saw Penelope in a similar state, Kelvin would gouge their eyes out!
The team leader picked up the walkie-talkie and said sternly, "Cease all searches, guard the doors of each room, do not enter! Do not move! Wait for Mr. Davis to arrive!"
The previously chaotic and noisy motel fell silent in an instant.
Paul looked at the group of people, sensing that something was wrong.
But he wasn't afraid. He just slept with Thessaly, that was all.
He could claim that Thessaly was willing, that she seduced him. In the entertainment industry, actresses sleeping with directors was a common occurrence.
Who would sympathize with Thessaly? No one would believe she was innocent!
Paul began to worry about Brandon because he was his investor!
He wanted his movie to start filming smoothly!
This movie was a big-budget production, and Paul wasn't confident. If he performed normally, a $150 million box office was achievable, but the investment was $100 million, leaving no profit.
In the future, if he wanted to make another big-budget movie, no investor would fund it.
It was hard enough, but Brandon suddenly appeared, willing to support him unconditionally.
This movie was significant for Paul.
If it failed, the money would be lost, and Brandon wouldn't care.
But if it succeeded, Paul's status and influence would reach new heights, and he would never worry about funding again!
Ten minutes later.
Kelvin arrived.
He had been waiting at a central location in the city, ready to move at a moment's notice.
That was the heart of LA, convenient to reach any place quickly, once there was news.
"Mr. Davis," the team leader reported, "We found Thessaly."
"Where is she?"
"She..." The team leader hesitated.
Kelvin's expression turned severe. "Speak!"
The team leader lowered his voice. "She is in a room with a man, and it looks like they just finished having sex. Thessaly has been sleeping and hasn't woken up, and we didn't want to wake her."
Kelvin didn't say another word, but the aura of anger he emitted was enough to make everyone anxious!
This was a sign of Kelvin's fury!
"I immediately stopped the search, Mr. Davis," the team leader said. "The motel is completely sealed off; no one can enter or leave. We think Mrs. Davis might be here too, so... we waited for you to search personally."
Kelvin closed his eyes.
His hands were trembling uncontrollably, and he wanted to clench his fists but had no strength.
Thessaly with a man.
Then, Penelope with Brandon, right?
"Alright." After a long pause, Kelvin squeezed out the word through gritted teeth.
He started up the stairs, each step slow and heavy, pressing down on the staircase.
He wanted to find Penelope.
But he was also afraid to face what was coming next!
Kelvin feared he would see the most painful scene of his life!
Paul and Thessaly's door was open, but Kelvin didn't turn his head or glance inside as he passed.
He didn't dare to look at Thessaly's current state, let alone Penelope!
Kelvin stopped at the door of the next room.
"Mr. Davis," the bodyguard standing guard said, "this room hasn't been searched yet, but there are people inside."
"Get out."
Everyone stepped back in unison, creating a distance from Kelvin.
Each person ensured that their position didn't allow them to see inside the room!
Kelvin grasped the doorknob.
The doorknob was old, with peeling paint and a bit wobbly. Even the storage room in The King Manor's basement didn't have such a shabby lock!
Kelvin pushed the door open forcefully but controlled the angle of the door's opening.
The room was very small.
Almost as soon as the door opened, he could see everything inside!
On the bed lay two people.
A man and a woman.
The man was lying on his back, eyes closed, sleeping soundly, while the woman was curled up in his arms.
The blanket covered their shoulders, revealing a small part of their necks.
Kelvin immediately recognized the man as Brandon!
Then, the woman in Brandon's arms... he only saw a head of long hair, but Kelvin already knew who it was.
The thing he feared most, the thing he dreaded facing, had happened!
The worst scene was right in front of him!
Kelvin walked in, closing the door behind him.
Brandon and Penelope were still asleep, undisturbed by the commotion outside.
He knew Penelope wasn't just tired and asleep.
She must have been drugged and was still unconscious, with no idea when she would wake up.
During the search for Penelope, Kelvin had constantly tried to reassure himself and comfort himself. He had done a lot of mental preparation, but at this moment, he felt like he was breaking down.
If Brandon and Penelope had made love. How would Penelope face this reality?
Even if he could accept it, even if he could, he knew she couldn't!
Kelvin's eyes flashed with intense murderous intent.
He strode to the bed, grabbed Brandon, and threw him to the floor without mercy.
The sound of the impact echoed as Brandon's back hit the wall, and then he fell to the ground.
His chest hurt, and he started coughing loudly.
Kelvin had no time to care about Brandon! He deserved to die! He was beyond redemption!
Kelvin wanted to kill Brandon right now!
Right now!
Kelvin lifted his knee, knelt on the bed with one leg, and pulled Penelope into his arms.
His hands tightly held her shoulders, picking up the clothes beside him and dressing her piece by piece.
This time, Kelvin's hands didn't tremble, and he moved quickly and efficiently!
The whole process took less than a minute!
"Penelope, Penelope," Kelvin murmured, "I'm taking you home. We're going home."
