Chapter 1305 Revelation
“Who’s there?” asked a flustered Penelope in response to the knocking upon the door.
“It’s me!”
When she heard Vinson’s deep inflection, she frantically clambered off the bed.
On her way to the door, she paused to tug hard at the hem of her top several times down the middle. Lowering her head, she inspected those ample assets of hers that were peeking through her top, and that put a smile on her lips.
Then, she went up to get the door and invite Vinson inside.
“Mr. Nightshire.”
With a coquettish voice and misty eyes, Penelope regarded the man before her whose touch she desperately yearned for.
“You’re the one who uploaded that post, yes? Why did you do it?” Could not be bothered to pussyfoot around with her, Vinson went straight to the point, and his deep-set eyes were fixated upon Penelope while he waited for her to confess out of her own volition.
“W-What?” Though somewhat nervous, Penelope was still self-absorbed.
Well, it’s only a post. If Vinson really cared about it, he would have gotten someone else to take care of it instead of coming here to question me himself. For him to come by so late, it must be because he’s interested in me.
“Actually, Mr. Nightshire, I only did that to get your attention. You know, you hadn’t been back for several days, so I really missed you. Before, I thought you would surely drop in when you returned, but never did I expect to see you and your wife behaving so intimately. I was envious of her, and this was the only way I could think of to get your attention.”
Penelope cast a piteous look in Vinson’s direction. “I’m really in love with you, so please forgive me this time. I assure you that I won’t ever do that again.”
She advanced toward Vinson as she spoke, and her clothing danced in accompaniment to her movements.
She knew how alluring her own figure was and how men could not resist having their eyes glued to her body. As Vinson was a man, too, she was sure that his response would be no different.
“I’m yours, Mr. Nightshire!”
Unwilling to let this opportunity slip her by, Penelope straight-up threw herself into Vinson’s arms and pressed her own body firmly against his in a bid to entice him.
Considering the proximity between them and the swiftness of Penelope’s movement, Vinson was not able to react before he found Penelope leaning into his chest.
When he felt the woman’s movement against his body, his eyes became glacially wintry. Unable to tolerate it any further, he lashed out with a foot and sent Penelope sprawling to the floor with a loud thump.
“W-Why, Mr. Nightshire? H-How could you treat me this way?”
Prone on the floor, Penelope endured the pain she felt and glared at Vinson in sheer disbelief.
How could you be so rough with me? I’m the woman you personally brought back here!
“Did you really think that Vinson brought you back here because he fancies you? The only purpose of your presence here is to function as a ruse. Otherwise, he would have made you his woman from the very first day of your arrival.”
Arielle was outside the door when she heard a loud noise followed by Penelope’s accusative inquiries. That was why she decidedly pushed her way in.
“What do you mean by that?” asked Penelope, confused.
“If you were willing to stay put quietly and not harbor such ill will, we would have considered rewarding you handsomely. When this whole affair boils over, you would be able to go out and lead the life that you want,” said Arielle as she approached Vinson.
“Why are you here? Weren’t you sleeping?”
Vinson held Arielle’s hand and quietly blamed himself for waking her. She probably had not been able to sleep properly these past few days because of the election, so I had wanted to let her have a good rest. But somehow, I managed to mess it up again.
