Chapter 161 You're Going to Be Whipped

Penelope looked around cautiously, noticing nobody was paying attention to them,

she tugged at Monica's sleeve, "There's something I have to tell you."

"Spill it," Monica said in anticipation.

"I found the guy from that night," Penelope confessed.

Monica's eyes widened in shock, "Who is it? How did you get in touch? Are you sure?"

"Certain," Penelope affirmed with a nod, "Everything checks out."

"Who?" Monica asked, her curiosity peaked.

"Kelvin." Penelope revealed.

Monica stared at Penelope, her eyes wide and unblinking, "What... did... you... say?"

"It's him, no mistake," Penelope continued, "I figured it out after getting a new earpiece and listening to the conversation between Fiona and my mom."

Monica sat next to her, unable to recover from the revelation for a long while. This was too horrifying and extremely overwhelming.

"Wait, let me process this... Think, think..." Monica stammered, "If it's Kelvin, then your child... was also his, and he... he aborted your baby?!?!"

Penelope nodded again to confirm Monica's conclusion. Each time this topic resurfaced; it was like reopening her wounds.

"Oh God, this is insane, my poor Penelope..." Monica embraced her, "Don't be too hard on yourself."

The one who always understood her best was her best friend.

"It's a lie to say it doesn't hurt, I need time to heal," Penelope assured her, patting her shoulder, "I'm fine."

"How can you be fine? Sigh... Penelope, I'm here with you no matter what."

Out of nowhere, Timothy popped up again, standing to one side.
