Chapter 937 Prove Your Innocence
"But I'm not clean anymore. And..." Thessaly looked at her, "Penelope, Brandon's into you, isn't he?"
Penelope felt even worse.
Even Thessaly could see it?
"I don't mean anything by it," Thessaly explained, "It's just that the way Brandon looks at you is different from how he looks at everyone else, so I took a wild guess."
The look of love in someone's eyes was impossible to hide.
Brandon's intense love was so evident in his eyes that Thessaly couldn't help but notice it.
She thought about how Brandon loved Penelope, and even though they were friends, they had a sexual relationship... What a complicated emotion.
"I'm already married," Penelope replied, "Between Brandon and me..."
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her throat felt choked, and no sound came out.
At this moment, she and Thessaly were both pitiful, both sharing the same misery.
How could she comfort someone else?
She and Brandon were friends but had a sexual relationship, and now she didn't know how to interact with him in the future.
Thessaly and Brandon had a subtle affection between them, but... Paul did something that completely shattered Thessaly's self-esteem!
Given Brandon's status and position, he would probably mind a lot. Originally, he and Thessaly were just friends, but now he would definitely no longer consider Thessaly a friend.
A man of Brandon's privileged and high-standing background would never accept the current Thessaly.
And Brandon loved Penelope... It's all so messy.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that," Thessaly said, "I shouldn't have any more unrealistic thoughts about Brandon. Maybe... I'm destined to focus on my career, not on love. Only my career can flourish; my love life is always a mess."
She had a clear understanding of herself.
Brandon was always out of her league.
A son of a prestigious family, a CEO of a corporation, how could a common actress like her even dream of him, especially now that she had a sexual relationship with Paul?
Penelope sighed softly, "Thessaly, there's nothing wrong with liking someone."
"Yes, you're not wrong, and neither am I. The wrong person..."
Is the one behind all this!
Penelope's eyes were clear. "Maybe Brandon isn't your destined partner. Thessaly, just wait a little longer. You'll meet your destined prince, someone who will protect you, cherish you, and always have open arms for you, walking with you through life. Don't lose hope, don't give up, you deserve it."
"I'm not worthy." Thessaly shook her head, "Even if it's not Brandon, any other man, after knowing about me and Paul, would look down on me and mind it."
Penelope wanted to say something, but Thessaly took a deep breath and relaxed her shoulders, "Let's move forward, don't look back."
She stood up and hugged Penelope, "Give me a few days to adjust, and wait for me. The next time you see me, I'll be the confident, shining Thessaly again. I'll continue to be the lead in this movie, and I'll still be the spokesperson for Adoring Cupid... See, I have so much to do."
Penelope could only hug her back.
"See you later." Thessaly's voice was light, "You have Mr. Davis, Mr. Davis believes in you, Penelope, that's already very lucky, don't belittle yourself."
"You shouldn't belittle yourself either."
Thessaly just smiled without answering.
Because behind her... there was no one.
She had no support, no embrace; she could only be strong on her own.
After Thessaly left, Penelope still sat in the same place, looking out the window.
Steady footsteps stopped beside her.
She didn't need to look to know who it was. "Kelvin, you're here."
"Yeah."
"You heard everything Thessaly and I talked about, didn't you?"
"I did."
"I understand her feelings very well because I went through the same thing." Penelope slowly lowered her eyes. "She envies me for having you to support me, but she doesn't know, I envy her for being alone, free, without any guilt."
Kelvin hugged her from behind, holding her small frame in his arms.
He called her name over and over, "Penelope, Penelope..."
"Tell me, do you mind?" Penelope turned around, looking up at him. "What's your true feeling? Kelvin, I want to know."
He looked into her tear-filled eyes.
Kelvin spoke in a deep voice, "I do mind, Penelope. No man wouldn't mind, and I'm no different."
Penelope's body started to tremble uncontrollably.
He held her tightly. "But what I fear more is losing you, Penelope. You were framed, you had no control over it, this wasn't something you wanted, you're innocent, you've already been through so much pain, how could I blame you?"
"If this was something you did willingly, if you cheated on me with Brandon... Penelope, then we would have no future together."
"I hope this incident won't affect our marriage. That's my truest feeling."
Penelope's tears fell.
"So... Kelvin, you mind, but you still want to live with me."
"Yes."
Her tears kept falling, more and more.
Kelvin gently wiped them away. "Penelope, what I just said was the worst-case scenario."
"The worst?" She didn't understand what he meant.
"I still believe that you and Brandon are innocent, that night, nothing happened," Kelvin said, "First, you were both unconscious, unaware. Second, my subordinates arrived quickly, and there wasn't time for anything to happen."
Penelope was stunned, staring at him without blinking.
Kelvin still firmly believed she was innocent.
His belief hadn't changed!
"Just live well, be happy." Kelvin kissed away her tears. "I'll find out the truth, gather enough evidence to prove your innocence, and ease your pain."
Penelope wanted to say something, but he sealed her lips with a kiss.
After a long kiss, Kelvin buried his head in her neck, inhaling her scent.
"Do you want to stay home quietly, or go to the office?" Kelvin asked. "I'll be with you either way."
Penelope thought for a moment. "Go to the office."
Staying at home would only make her overthink and feel more depressed.
But going to the office, being busy with work, and chatting with colleagues might help her forget the pain.
"Okay."
Davis Group.
Kelvin personally took Penelope to the jewelry department, watching her sit at her desk. He stood there for a while before leaving.
While he was there, the entire jewelry department was silent; everyone kept their heads down, busy with their work, even if they had nothing to do, they pretended to be very busy.
