Chapter 799: Denial

Chapter 799: Denial

Was it anger Dean felt? Was it dismay? Or was he just utterly terrified?

The more Dean thought about what had happened tonight, the harder it was to pinpoint the exact emotion that was squeezing his chest. All he could do was continue to stare in the direction where Penny had left, even though the cars were no longer in sight.

Penny had only been in Anteca for a few months. It wasn't even half a year yet, and she had just announced tonight that she was married.

"Impossible," he whispered, his eyes falling as he tried to find any loopholes in this. This could be just a play, and knowing Penny, it wouldn't surprise him. Perhaps this was just a contract—an agreement Penny and Zoren had made for mutual benefits.

After all, it was too abrupt - too absurd!

Penny wouldn't fall for someone so easily. She was the type of person who had the biggest trust issues. There was no way she would trust Zoren just like that. There had to be something more—there had to be more to the story, like... being Zoren's Thursday Girl.

The sudden thought that had almost slipped Dean's mind was akin to a bucket of ice water pouring down on him. For a moment, his face stiffened, and his entire body froze.

'Don't tell me...' his thoughts trailed off, his hand balling into a tight fist. '... don't tell me she found out? They found out?'

When? How?
