Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 361

Penny’s eyes widened in a mix of confusion and panic. “Eason, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Eason stared at her, his eyes filled with unprecedented disappointment. “Penny, I always thought you were kind and well- behaved. Why are you targeting Emma like this? She’s never even met you, let alone offended you, right?”

Penny, looking visibly drained, managed to get the words out, “Eason, all I did was dig a bit into her past. You know, just watching out for you, afraid you might get played. But honestly, I really didn’t instruct Jeremy to do anything.”

Eason narrowed his eyes. “Jeremy has confessed. He was acting under someone’s orders.”

Penny was startled, Instinctively wanting to defend herself, but she quickly regained her composure.

She hadn’t met Jeremy directly, and the money transaction was kept very secret. Even if Jeremy confessed something, it

couldn’t be traced back to her.

“If that’s true, then it’s despicable,” Penny exclaimed with righteous indignation. “The person behind this, their actions are unforgivable! Emma is just a girl, and they had Jeremy seduce her, deliberately ruining her reputation!”

Penny’s voice was filled with emotion.

Eason’s gaze on her turned even colder.

Penny sensed something was amiss, her voice softening as she asked cautiously, “Eason? Is something wrong?”

Eason gazed at her with a blank expression. “When exactly did I say Jeremy was trying to charm Emma?”

Penny froze, and the next moment, she began to tremble slightly from excessive tension.

She thought, ‘I had slipped up again!‘

Penny didn’t consider herself a foolish person.

But in front of Eason, she felt like a child being scolded by a parent. She tried to defend herself, but she was too afraid of disappointing Eason, too afraid of losing him.

This fear made her inadvertently reveal her true intentions.

“Penny, tell me, why?” Eason gazed intently at Penny,

Penny trembled even more.

She wanted to defend herself.

But she knew that no matter what she said, Eason wouldn’t believe her anymore.

A wave of unprecedented fear washed over Penny.

‘Eason was about to see my true self.

“He was going to be angry with me.

‘He was going to despise me.
