Chapter 934 Brandon, You Will Always Be My Defeated Opponent!
"Why am I not strong enough?" Thessaly murmured, her voice barely audible. "If only I were stronger, if only I didn't have such a heavy conscience, if only I were... a woman who could do anything to achieve her goals..."
She looked like she was about to collapse, evoking a deep sense of pity.
Her usual cool demeanor was completely gone, leaving her as an innocent and pitiful woman.
"Come inside and sit for a while," Penelope said, supporting her. "Let's go."
Penelope didn't know how to comfort Thessaly, so all she could do was stay by her side.
As he watched the two women walk away, Kelvin turned his gaze back to Brandon.
In an instant, Brandon had transformed into a different person.
He was filled with hostility and murderous intent!
Kelvin took steady steps, his leather shoes scraping against the concrete floor, producing a sharp sound.
Brandon, too, was no longer the same. He stood tall, his eyes filled with determination.
The two men faced off, ready for confrontation.
"Finally showing your true colors," Kelvin said. "No more pretending?"
"I've always been myself."
"Careful with your words, afraid that anything you say might become evidence for me to expose you to Penelope?"
Brandon laughed. "You can go to her right now and expose me. Let's see who she believes, you or me."
As he spoke, Brandon glanced at the security camera above the door.
This was The King Manor, Kelvin's territory, filled with surveillance. How could Brandon be foolish enough to confront Kelvin here?
The truth would stay buried within him, not a word would slip out!
Brandon knew he was meticulous in his actions, especially in his pursuit of Penelope. He had been cautious and calculated, leaving no evidence or witnesses. So, for Kelvin to obtain proof was nearly impossible.
Unless... he could pry the truth from Brandon's mouth and record it as evidence.
But Brandon wouldn't give Kelvin that chance!
"I underestimated you before," Kelvin said, staring at him. "I didn't guard against you enough, giving you the opportunity to succeed... again and again!"
Brandon retorted, "What did I succeed in? You married Penelope, you had her four years ago, and now you have her along with the two kids. You, Kelvin, are the real winner!"
Brandon's words were filled with bitterness.
He envied Kelvin!
From the beginning, Kelvin had always been the one who had Penelope, the one who was always in her heart!
Even during the four years in the small town, Penelope never forgot Kelvin!
Such love, such affection, was something Brandon never had from Penelope!
He was just her friend, nothing more!
"Yes, I won," Kelvin smiled slightly. "I won completely. Brandon, you will always be my defeated opponent!"
Brandon gritted his teeth. "But don't forget, the one who laughs last, laughs best! It's not over yet!"
"What do you consider the end?" Kelvin asked, grabbing Brandon's collar and pulling him close.
"Getting Penelope is the end for you? Have you ever thought that moment might never come? You can't have her! I won't let you! Brandon, don't even think about it!"
Kelvin nearly lifted Brandon off the ground, but Brandon remained calm.
Because Kelvin couldn't do anything to him!
"Don't speak too soon, Kelvin," Brandon replied. "Even if you don't let her go, if she wants to leave... what can you do? Just like four years ago, when she jumped off the yacht. I helped her then, and I can help her now!"
Kelvin's eyes darkened. "Don't even think about it! I won't give you another chance!"
"Wait and see."
Brandon calmed down, giving Kelvin a provocative smile.
He pried Kelvin's hand off, stepped back, and slowly adjusted his collar. "Kelvin, you won't be able to keep her."
"That's nonsense!"
Brandon just smiled.
That smile infuriated Kelvin!
That day, he almost killed Brandon! Just almost!
"I know it was you," Kelvin's voice was filled with danger. "Brandon, you can't hide forever. I may not have caught you yet, but that doesn't mean I won't!"
"What evidence? What did I do?" Brandon asked deliberately. "I don't understand what you're talking about. I just had dinner with Director Paul to discuss movie investments... Who knew I'd wake up in the same bed as Penelope?"
Brandon feigned realization. "Are you talking about evidence of me and Penelope sleeping together?"
"That's really difficult for you," Brandon clicked his tongue. "How do you prove that? Are you going to take Penelope to the hospital for a check-up? See if there's any trace of me..."
"Shut up!" Kelvin snapped.
Brandon spread his hands. "I don't know anything, but we were in the same bed, both drugged by the waiter. It's normal for something to happen. It would be strange if nothing did."
Before he finished speaking, Kelvin's fist came down hard.
The force was immense, and Brandon's face twisted to the side. He staggered, nearly falling, and finally knelt on one knee, supporting himself on the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Blood dripped from Brandon's mouth.
He raised his hand, wiped the blood away. "So what if you hit me? Even if you kill me, you can't change the fact that Penelope and I slept together!"
Kelvin looked down at him. "No, you and Penelope did nothing! Brandon, stop spouting nonsense and scaring people!"
"We were in the same bed, both naked, and you say nothing happened? Kelvin, do you really believe that?"
"I believe it!"
"Penelope doesn't." Brandon laughed, his mouth full of blood. "Your belief doesn't matter."
Those words hit Kelvin's sore spot.
Indeed, Kelvin still had doubts, thinking Brandon didn't have enough time to act against Penelope and needed further investigation.
But Penelope herself had already... accepted it.
No matter what he said, she thought he was just comforting her.
Kelvin swung another punch.
Brandon's face immediately swelled, his cheekbone turning a deep shade of purple.
As Kelvin's third punch was about to land, Brandon raised his hand to block it.
"Still want to hit me?" Brandon asked. "Addicted to it? Think I won't fight back?"
