Chapter 115 An Unexpected Kiss

As soon as Penelope saw Courtney, tears started to stream down her eyes as she cried, “Miss Hunter, I didn’t take any necklace at all. She is slandering me.”

“I know. I know you didn’t take it. We still haven’t finished investigating the situation. Please come down first.”

“You’re lying to me.” Penelope held on to the railing with one hand while wiping her tears with the other. Everyone was terrified as they looked at her while she screamed loudly, “You are all lying to me. That’s not what happened. You all heard what that little celebrity said—she wants you all to fire me from the hotel. I heard it all.”

Upon hearing Penelope, Courtney’s face suddenly turned pale as she glared at Addie. “What happened?”

Addie furrowed his brows and answered, “Mr. Webb felt that we needed to move the entire crew out immediately, so—”

 

Suddenly, Mr. Webb interrupted from the crowd. “I’m just thinking about the hotel’s sake.”

“Even if you are thinking about the hotel’s sake, you still can’t simply fire someone.” Courtney glared at him with cold eyes, causing him to shiver in fear. He instantly did not dare to say another word. Then, she turned toward Penelope and shouted. “Don’t worry. I promise that I’ll thoroughly look into this situation. If you didn’t take the necklace, I can assure you that no one will fire you.”

 

There was no trace of blood on Penelope’s delicate face as it was filled with despair and sorrow. She repeatedly shook her head while tears rolled down her face. “That’s impossible. You’ll definitely fire me.”

After that, the old railing on the rooftop, which was in need of repair, suddenly made a cracking sound. As the rusty steel railing connected with the cement pier to make a screeching sound, it caused everyone to scream in fear.

Courtney clenched her fists and said, “This is not working. Addie, I want you to distract her by talking to her. Talk to her about her grandma and I’ll think of a way to get her down.”
