Chapter 378
After breakfast, Eason stood up and was about to leave.
Seeing that Penny felt anxious and looked at Eason pleadingly, “Eason, can you stay here for a while?”
“What’s wrong?” Eason looked at her in worry. ‘Are you still not feeling well? Do you want to see a doctor?”
In the past, Penny never dared to be willful in front of Eason
But today, she was in no mood to care about anything else.
Penny looked at Eason pitifully and said, “Eason, I’m fine. It’s just that you haven’t been with me for a long time. So I miss
you”
If it were in the past, Penny would never have dared to make such a request.
After all, she knew very well that she had to keep her feelings for Eason a secret forever.
She had to carefully hide all her desires, for fear that the people around her would notice a clue.
But today, she didn’t want to think too much about it.
Penny just stared at Eason with pleading eyes.
“Eason.” Judith couldn’t bear to see Penny’s pitiful look. “You haven’t accompanied Penny for a long time. Why don’t you spare some time for her today?”
“Eason” Penny looked at Eason with eager eyes.
It was the first time that Eason had seen Penny being so attached to him. His heart softened as he said gently, “Okay, I’ll stay at home to accompany you today.”
“Thank you, Eason.” Penny Immediately showed a bashful look like a little girl. She looked at Eason and asked, “Eason, can you go out with me?”
Eason was a little confused. “You want to go out to play?”
Penny said excitedly, “Yes, let’s go to the amusement park. But I don’t want to play exciting games this time. Instead, I want
to ride on a carousel.”
In the past, Penny and Eason would occasionally go to the amusement park. However, Eason always liked exciting games, so she pretended to like them very much too.
She could always pretend to share the same hobbies as Eason, but today she just wanted to be who she really was.
The carousel?
Eason was stunned.

He wondered, ‘Doesn’t Penny like exciting games just like me?
Eason looked at Penny and nodded thoughtfully. “Okay, we can play whatever you want today”
“Thank you, Eason.” Penny suddenly became delighted.
Judith looked at them and said with a smile, “You two go ahead and have a good time.”
After saying that, she told Eason, “Your sister is not feeling well. Don’t let her get too excited.”
“Don’t worry.” Eason nodded and responded.
Judith looked at Eason and Penny’s backs and couldn’t help shaking her head. She chuckled and said, “Penny is still so clingy to her brother.”
Judith only thought that Penny was simply clingy to Eason and did not think too much about it. She was even happy that Penny and Eason could have such a good relationship.
In the amusement park
The two of them stood before the carousel,
Penny asked with a smile, “Eason, I want to ride on the same carousel with you.”
Eason rubbed her hair and said helplessly, “You’re already a grown woman. Why are you still acting like a spoiled child?”
Penny plucked up her courage and shook the arm of Eason. “I don’t care. I want to ride with you.”
Eason’s gaze turned soft.
Penny had not acted like a little girl before him for a long time. He realized that maybe he had indeed ignored Penny’s feelings recently.
Eason sighed, feeling helpless.
Although Penny had done a lot of wrong things, she was Eason’s younger sister, who had grown up with him. This fact could not be changed.
“Okay, I’ll keep you company.” Eason agreed with a smile.
“Thank you, Eason.” Penny’s face lit up with joy.
On the carousel, Penny boldly leaned into the arms of Eason.
She knew very well that today might be the last time for them to have such intimate contact..
Penny thought to herself, ‘After today… No. There is no tomorrow for me!
Penny thought of the threat of the mysterious man, and a trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes.

She regretted those wrong things that she had done.
However, she could not change what had happened.
Today, she had to make the final decision.

Penny thought to herself, ‘This drug… If Judith and Eason took it, they would probably die. Should I drug them? But if I don’t do it, considering the power of the mysterious man… Then I may be the one who will die.“”
Leaning in the embrace of Eason, whom she had loved for so long, Penny’s eyes were filled with increasing sorrow.
When the music ended, the carousel stopped moving.
*Penny,” Eason called out.
However, Penny did not respond.
Eason shouted a few more times, and Penny finally came to her senses.
She tried her best to get rid of those thoughts in her mind and said with a smile, ‘Eason, I want to ride it again.”
“Okay.” Eason agreed dotingly.
Thus, they rode on the carousel for another time.
When they got down from the carousel, a woman next to them said enviously, “You two are a good– looking couple. Judging from your expressions, you must be in sweet love, right?” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Eason was stunned and quickly started to explain, “No, we’re not a couple. We…”
“Thank you, lady.” Before Eason could finish his sentence, Penny responded with a smile.
After the woman left, Eason looked at Penny in confusion.
Penny said smilingly, “Well, why do you bother to explain so much to a stranger? Let’s go and have fun.”
Then, Penny grabbed Eason’s hand.
Together, they not only rode on a carousel but also rowed a boat in the middle of the lake and played on the slide, which
children liked the best.
“Eason, this one is for you.” Penny bought two ice creams and handed one to Eason.
Eason did not like this kind of dessert, but he still took it over with a smile.
It was getting dark. Eason looked at his watch and said, “Penny, it’s getting late. Let’s call it a day?”
Hearing that, Penny stopped smiling in an instant.
Eason looked at her and hurriedly said, “We can stay for a while longer. It doesn’t matter.”

After a moment of silence, Penny finally revealed a smile and said in a gentle voice, “No, it’s enough for today. Eason, thank
you.”
Eason knocked on her head gently. There is no need to say “thank you‘ to me.”
Penny looked up and watched Eason’s every move with deep affection.
Eason was the person she had loved for so long.
However, everything was about to end soon.
Penny said softly, “Eason, I want to treat everyone to dinner tonight.”
*You want to pay for the meal?” Eason was surprised.
Penny nodded and said, “That’s right, I’ve saved a lot of money over the years. Today, I’ll treat them all to a feast with my
money.
“You haven’t gone to work yet. How can you have too much money? Today I…
“No, I just want to use my money to treat them today.”
This day, Penny acted like a spoiled child unscrupulously.
Seeing her attitude, Eason had no choice but to compromise.
Penny was in high spirits. She called Judith first and then called Susan, asking her to bring Ben along.
Then, she dragged Eason to book a room in a restaurant first.
In the car.
Ben narrowed his eyes. “Penny invited us to dinner?”
“Yes,” said Susan. “I agreed. After all, we have spare time today.”
Ben frowned slightly.
“What’s wrong with you?” Susan looked at Ben in confusion. “I found that you seem to have some bad opinions about Penny recently. Every time I mention her name, you seem displeased. Are you hiding something from me?”
Ben pondered for a moment and parked the car on the side of the road.
Seeing this, Susan was even more confused.
Ben thought for a moment and decided to give Susan a reminder. So he slowly said, “I’ve found some clues about the previous matter.”
Susan wondered, ‘The previous matter?”
A
Chapter 4/8
She was stunned for a moment, and then her expression became serious.
The previous matter should have referred to the trouble that was aroused by Leo and Isabella.
That matter was all in the past, so Susan didn’t take it very seriously.
But now, she suddenly heard Ben mention it.
Susan wondered, ‘Does this mean that this matter has something to do with Penny? But Penny? How is that possible? Penny has no reason to make things difficult for me! Am I overthinking? Maybe Ben doesn’t mean that.‘
However, what Ben said next quickly broke Susan’s imagination.
Ben slowly said, “After that incident, I immediately sent someone to investigate and found out that Leo transferred to Tonico first and then to Coraland. At the same time, I used some methods to get the email record of Leo and found that someone had sent an email to him. Later, I further traced the address of the email sender.”
Ben paused for a moment.
Susan felt her heart skip a beat. “And… then what?”
Susan looked at Ben and prayed silently that the matter had nothing to do with Penny
However, Ben broke the fantasy of Susan in a ruthless tone.
He said calmly. “The private jet of the Tonico belongs to an upstart in Tonico. I investigated that person’s connections and accidentally found that he had once pursued Penny. In addition, although the address of the email had been repeatedly modified, after much work, it was found that the person was in Anaville. With the current clues, there is about a 90% possibility that Penny is the person who instigated Leo and helped him. The most important thing is that the private doctor of the Landor family later remembered that he had met Penny once, and Penny had picked up your medical record. Therefore, she is the only one who may know your physical condition.”
Ben sounded calm, but Susan found it hard to believe what he said.
She didn’t make friends easily, but once she took someone as her friend, she would treat the person with all her heart and soul, without any vigilance.
Penny had long been seen as a friend by Susan.
Susan did not expect that Penny was the one who had schemed against her.
Susan asked in a slightly trembling voice, “Actually, there are no decisive clues. Maybe you misunderstood her?”
Glancing at Susan, Ben sighed and comforted her, “That’s possible.”
Susan knew that Ben was trying to make her feel better.
There were so many coincidences combined.
The possibility that Penny was behind it was not just 90%.

It was almost certain that Penny had dret
Susan pursed her lips and set there in silence.
Ben looked at her worriedly
He didn’t tell Susan this earlier because he was worried about Susaris emotions
However, Ben thought that it was better to let Susan be on guard than to let her be unaware of anything and fall into a trap
again.
After all, since Penny had put in so much effort to do such things, she might set up a trap again.
Ben couldn’t let Susan be exposed to Penny’s trap without any defense.
