Chapter 494

Penelope snorted and gave the man another kick.

He winced in pain. “Do… do you have any idea who I am? How dare you hit me…”

“I don’t care who you are!”

“My name is Harry! Go ask around! No one in Orenth dares to disrespect me!”

Penelope planted her foot on the man’s stomach. “Are you as powerful as the Bishop Group?”

“The Bishop Group is nothing!”

“My boss is Rebecca!”

“That bitch Rebecca! How dare she send someone like you… ahh! I’m not finished with her!”

“Who do you think you are? The Bishop Group isn’t afraid of you! Trust me, my boss isn’t afraid of you.”

Hearing the commotion, Rebecca came out of her room and saw the scene unfolding: her major client, bruised and beaten, being told this was all her doing.

Her mind went blank. She rushed forward.

“Penelope, what have you done?”

Penelope clapped the dust from her hands and took two steps back, feigning surprise. “Didn’t you tell me to make sure Mr. Bright had a good time drinking? I was worried he wouldn’t be satisfied, so I poured a couple of bottles down his throat.”

After her initial shock, Rebecca hurried to help Harry up.

But when he saw her, he became even more enraged and slapped her across the face.

“Bitch! You just wait! I’m not letting you get away with this!”

The slap was fueled by all his fury, and it sent Rebecca sprawling to the floor. Dazed and dizzy, she watched as Harry propped himself up against the wall, gasping for breath.

“You two bitches! Neither of you is leaving here tonight! Go! Go get more men!”

“Oh, you have more men?” Penelope’s eyes darted around. “In that case, I won’t stick around. Time to go!”

With that, Penelope took off down the hall.

“Stop her! Catch her!” Harry yelled at his men.

But Penelope was too fast. She was gone in a flash.

Rebecca realized the danger and also tried to slip away, but she wasn’t as quick as Penelope. Harry spotted her instantly.

“Forget her! Grab that bitch first!”

Although they had seen Penelope run off, Michael and Hamilton were still worried: They went into the now-empty room and looked out the window watching until they saw her shake off her pursuers and drive away. Only then did they head back. Cóntent

“Still the iron-willed warrior goddess. I’m impressed,” Michael said.

Hamilton scoffed. “Even I try to avoid messing with local thugs like Harry. She’s really not afraid of anything.”

“She’s smart, too. Pushed all the blame onto the Bishop Group.”

“That woman is truly cunning.”

Penelope got home, and just after she’d stepped out of the shower, Rebecca called.

On the other end of the line, her voice was hoarse and broken, as if she’d been through some terrible ordeal.

“Penelope… I won’t let you get away with this…”

Penelope settled comfortably onto her sofa. “Still haven’t had enough fun?”

“You just wait! You wait!”

“I’m waiting. But are you sure that little video of yours is enough to threaten me?”

“I’ll make your company go bankrupt!”

“Is that all?”

“You have to be scared!”

“I’d be disappointed, but not scared. You need to think this through, Rebecca If you fight me, you could lose

e everything youve worked for over the past six years. All I stand to lose is a company, and it’s not like I’ll starve if it’s gone.”

Penelope’s tone darkened.

“Besides, you and Zebulon have been skimming a lot of money off this project, haven’t you? If I were to expose that I imagine the Bishop Group would fire you tong before my company ever went under
