บททั้งหมดของ Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride: บทที่ 721 - บทที่ 730

Who exactly was he searching for? The question made my head throb, so I picked up my phone to distract myself with some news.The media was buzzing with rumors about Penelope entering show business. Several outlets had published photos of her on a reality show set. After some professional styling, she stood out effortlessly – tall, elegant, with fair skin and endless legs. Social media was flooded with comments praising her looks.Not everyone was supportive, though. Some accused her of using Jethro to climb the social ladder. Defenders quickly jumped in, pointing out that if "less attractive trust fund kids" could break into entertainment, why shouldn't someone as stunning as Penelope have a chance? They attributed the criticism to jealousy – people envied someone who'd risen from their ranks to the spotlight. The observation rang true, and I clicked the like button without hesitation.After browsing the Penelope coverage, I stumbled across a recent post about a drone photography f

My bag...I looked down at what I was holding.I had Chanel's bag with me now, but last night I'd left home with a black one.I'd been so focused on the western district videos that I'd left with just the USB drive and my phone.Since Luke had already figured out my intentions, I explained everything."After watching these videos frame by frame, are you planning to switch careers to criminal investigation?""..." It was snarky Luke today. Feeling guilty, I changed the subject. "Mr. Walker, since I'm your assistant, I should be the one driving.""We'll pick up your bag on the way."Luke got out and moved to the back seat.When I went to get my bag, I ran into Lina.She smiled warmly. "Ms. Middleton, did the western district videos bring back memories?""Yes."Before leaving yesterday, I'd given Lina my contact information so she could call if she found my bag.She'd specifically called the executive office to verify my identity.I checked my bag's contents in front of he

About fifteen minutes later, a slim woman appeared in the footage.She had straight bangs, with long, thick hair covering most of her face.Head slightly bowed, only her prominent nose and bright red lips were visible.She wore a black sweater with matching wide-leg pants and a pink fur coat - a stylish, youthful outfit.From her clothing, she appeared young; it was hard to connect her to the small man from earlier.My eyes fixed on her large handbag.Could it contain the clothes he'd changed out of?Luke motioned me to pause."They're the same person."“Are you sure?”Luke's confident tone meant he'd spotted something.I looked up at him eagerly."They walk the same way, with the same habits."Luke placed screenshots of the thin man and young woman side by side.Both walked with hands in pockets, head down, neck slightly forward - not just similar, but identical."He planned this carefully, storing clothes at the store beforehand. This was a deliberate attack on my cous

"Being at the scene doesn't prove I killed him," Mrs. Stewart said defiantly."Just tell us the truth. Let us worry about the evidence."Drawing from years of experience and hundreds of interrogations, Officer Miller's stern presence gradually cracked Mrs. Stewart's facade. Confronted with concrete evidence, her story fell apart, and she confessed.Penelope sat in stunned silence when she heard about the confession.Finally, she asked, "What about Mr. Stewart? Was he involved?""Mrs. Stewart claims she acted alone." But I knew better - couples married that long can read each other like books. A mere glance speaks volumes. It seemed impossible that he knew nothing about such a heinous crime."What's the police's stance?""No evidence links Mr. Stewart yet, but keep your distance from him.""I won't be writing any character statements or showing mercy. Jacob has caretakers now. I have no reason to maintain contact." Penelope's firmness surprised me, showing maturity beyond her ye

"When someone you love is hurt, you should be by their side.""His schedule's packed. We have contracts to fulfill.""As his agent, you've warned him about the consequences. He's an adult who can make his own choices."Penelope kept her distance from Jethro's personal drama.Her cool detachment earned an approving look from Wendy."The entertainment industry moves fast - new faces appear daily. Jethro's popularity is already fading. You used his connections to break in. If he tanks his career by breaking contracts, your path won't be so smooth anymore.""We'll see about my acting career when we get there."I admired the quiet strength in Penelope's response."Please, I'm desperate here. He's being impossible - just sitting at the hospital all day. Help me get him back to work.""You know where we stand. It's not my place."“Penelope…”"I'll reach out to him.""That's all I ask."When Penelope ended the call, Wendy gave her a slow clap. "You've got them eating out of your ha
