Chapter 199 Can't You Play Along

"Are you certain that if you get the five billion dollars, you'll leave without looking back?" Lily asked.

"That's right." Penelope agreed.

"Weren't you always saying that you and Kelvin were truly in love? That your love couldn't be measured by money?" Lily questioned.

Penelope replied, "We are in love, but the amount you offered was too much to refuse."

With that, she turned on her heel in a smooth motion.

But after only a couple of steps, Penelope froze in her tracks.

There stood Kelvin, his eyes fixed on her, his face a mask of displeasure.

How long had he been there?

Had he heard everything?

"Five billion dollars?" Kelvin took strides toward her, "Is that my value to you?"

So, he had heard.

Penelope swallowed hard. "It's a huge sum... beyond Lily's reach," she said, nonchalantly.

Kelvin narrowed his eyes. "So, if someone could afford it, you would agree to leave?" he asked.

"I've been wanting to leave even without the money, let alone being offered so much," Penelope muttered.

His expression instantly darkened into something terrifying.

Kelvin yanked Penelope to his side, his gaze icy as it swept across Anthony.

It was a look most couldn't withstand.
