Chapter 96 Ending up Hurting Both
Chapter 96 Ending up Hurting Both
Daenerys looked at Penny with anger in her eyes. Winnie was afraid of worsening the situation, so she
pulled Daenerys's clothes to let her calm down under the table.
"There were so many admirers, but she didn't accept any of them. Did she do so because she was
arrogant?"
Penny met Daenerys's gaze with a sneer.
"Right. What kind of husband do you marry to, our goddess? He should be even more outstanding than
Brian. Why not show him off?"
The man who just proved Penny's identity said.
Winnie was stunned at first. Obviously, this man was attacking her for Penny.
She smiled and said openly.
"I divorced him. There is nothing to be showed off."
Hearing this, everyone sighed. Even Daenerys didn't expect that Winnie would "tell them the truth".
"Getting divorced is nothing to be ashamed of. Just don't be the other woman."
Penny found a chance and directly scolded Winnie, making her feel embarrassed.
Instantly, everyone settled down and gazed at Winnie. Winnie was speechless.
What could she say? Wasn't she the other woman now?
Although Brian said that they were not married and that he had no wife, many people knew and
acknowledged that Penny was Mrs. Bennet.
Under such circumstances, she could only bring shame on herself if she explained.
"Who did you call the other woman?"
Goaded beyond endurance, Daenerys asked in anger.
"Winnie. I say, Winnie is the other woman."
Penny found a way to vent and lost control of herself.
"Since everyone is here today, you can judge if Winnie is the other woman."
"It’s been four years since she left here, now she came back and worked in my husband's company.
Then she approached my son and enticed my husband into living with her. Isn't she the other woman?"
Forgetting her image and position, Penny shouted loudly. She looked like a monster with her ferocious
face and teeth.
"Winnie, let me tell you. You had bullied me when we were in college. You trampled on other people's
dignity wantonly just because you were from a rich family and looked somewhat beautiful. Do you know
how many people you had hurt? I, Penny, is one of them. You trampled down my self-esteem..."
Penny was out of control and said both what she should say and what she shouldn't say. She had lost
control of herself and went on speaking just like a stock market crashing.
However, she was interrupted by Daenerys when she was most emotional.
"Shut up, Penny. Do you know that you'll be punished by god if you speak against your conscience?
With all classmates here, you can ask them to recall and see if Winwin had treated you not kindly
enough once. When you were bullied, she protected you. When you couldn't pay your tuition fees,
Winwin paid it for you. When your mother was ill, she gave you her scholarship so that you could take
your mother to the hospital. She even gave you her opportunity to be a state-funded student studying
abroad just for your damn self-esteem!"
"She had helped you so much. You should be grateful to her. I never expect that you'll blame her.
You're an ingrate!"
Daenerys pointed out that Penny was standing truth on her head. She hated to see Penny being
ungrateful. And she couldn't bear to see Winnie being hurt.
"Daenerys, you should tell lies in a reasonable way. Winnie majored in Computer Science while I was a
law student. How is it possible that she gave me her opportunity to receive a government-sponsored
oversea education? You must be kidding me. It's obvious that what you said is out of thin air."
Penny smiled contemptuously. She had never heard of this. Daenerys must have invented it to redeem
Winnie.
"Kidding? You can ask them if it's true. Penny, don't forget that Winwin took law as an elective course
at that time. Otherwise, she wouldn't get to know you, an ungrateful villain." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"It was ironic, but it was true that you, a law student, was not as good as Winwin who just took law as
an elective course. Everyone here knew that Winwin gave you her chance to receive a government-
sponsored oversea education."
Daenerys was brutally frank and told her what had happened in the past.
Penny looked at everyone in disbelief, but they all looked away and didn't say that what Daenerys said
was not true. Even the two men who proved her identity kept silent.
Everyone stayed silent and couldn't say anything because they all knew that what Daenerys said was
true.
"Penny, stop. I don't know if Winnie is the other woman. However, it is well known that Winwin treated
you kindly when we were in college. Everyone knew it clearly. She always protected you; she took care
of your sick mother for you; she paid tuition fees for you; she even carried you to school when you
twisted your ankle. You can't deny any of these things. Now, I still have a photo taken when she carried
you into the classroom. It's a lie that you said Winwin bullied you at that time."
Finally, a woman couldn't bear to watch this anymore, so she said a few words fairly and narrated what
had happened in the past in general. Then, more and more people whispered.
Penny looked at Winnie in consternation. Why didn't she know it? Why was she treated as a fool
again? She had intended to win back her dignity here today. Why did she lose more?
Now she had a status higher than them, so it was difficult for her to accept such a thing that harmed
her self-esteem. She thought that she was humiliated.
"Winnie, we can find another chance to talk about something happened in the past. Now, I just ask you
if you've seduced my husband and slept with him."
Penny was very embarrassed at this moment. To turn the tables, she could only talk about if Winnie
was the other woman.
Hearing her question, Winnie was speechless and looked very embarrassed. How should she answer?
Should she say yes or no?
If she answered, Penny would continue to insult her; if she refused to answer, Penny would continue to
ask.
"You tell me who your husband is first. Then, I'll tell you if I'm the other woman."
Finally, Winnie was forced to speak. If Penny became even more embarrassed, she deserved it.
"My...My husband is Brian."
Penny already understood what Winnie meant, but she was still unwilling to stop.
"Just now, somebody said that he worked in the government. If you can do this, please check if Penny
is Brian's wife."
After Winnie said so, there was another commotion.
Everyone was whispering whether Penny was Brian's wife or not. If she was, why was Winnie so sure
that she wasn't?
"Winnie, what do you want to say? It's an indisputable fact that I'm Brian's wife. You want to stir it
here..."
"Penny, you should know when to stop, otherwise you'll only hurt yourself."
Winnie stopped Penny in time because she didn't want the farce to go on. If Penny went on saying, it
would only end up hurting both of them. And it would even be Penny who lost face.
"Penny, you know the consequences if you're photographed by reporters like this today."
Winnie warned her again. However, Penny must win back the dignity she lost in her college life on such
an occasion as if she were crazy.
She suddenly picked up the decanter and poured all the wine inside in Winnie's face without any sign.
Instantly, Winnie's hair, face and clothes were wet from red wine.
Seeing that Winnie being bedraggled, Penny still didn't stop and began to curse.
"Winnie, you're the other woman and coquette. You've seduced my husband. You're shameless..."
"Enough."
When Penny was swearing wildly, a man stopped her in a cold voice.
He said in such a loud and angry tone, intimidating others as if he were an angry emperor.
Penny dared not believe what she heard. When she looked at the man who said it, she suspected that
she was hallucinating. Why would Brian come here? He should know nothing about the reunion today.
Everyone looked at him. A tall and straight man sullenly came over with dangerous and cruel eyes,
frightening people so much that they wanted to escape as if he were a beast that had smelled the
blood of his prey.
"Honey, you've come. They are bullying me."
Penny felt uneasy because she wasn't sure whether Brian came here for her or for Winnie. Therefore,
she must ask for his help first.
As she said those words, she pointed to Winnie and Daenerys with her fingers. There was hatred and
grievance appearing alternately in her eyes.
However, Brian roared like a lion in a cold and angry tone.
"Shut up. I've seen it and heard it. I know clearly who is the one bullying."
When Brian hurried to the door of the banquet hall, they had just begun to quarrel. Seeing that Winnie
was always silent, he just wanted to know other people's opinion and wanted know more about them
two. When Leo wanted to go in to help Winnie, he stopped him.
However, it never occurred to him that Penny would be so impolite that she poured wine in Winnie's
face in public.
When he saw this, Brian nearly wanted to kill Penny. Besides, he also regretted that he was greedy for
facts and therefore didn't stop Penny in time, causing Winnie to be hurt.
"Honey, you..."
Being reproached by Brian, Penny lost face in front of everyone, but she didn't want to give up. Instead,
she wanted to turn the tables. As she spoke, Brian took the napkin that Daenerys handed over and
wiped Winnie.
Her head, her face, and even her chest.
"Honey, they did bully me. I..."
"Shut up."
Penny felt bitter. Seeing that Brian treated Winnie so gently, she became even resentful. She wanted to
go on defending herself and win back her dignity, but she was interrupted by Brian again.
After glaring at Penny with cold eyes in disgust, Brian put his arms around Winnie's shoulder and left
with her directly.
Seeing this, there was fierce expression in her eyes.
She was totally heartbroken because her husband left with another woman in his arms.
Except being heartbroken, she also lost her strong sense of self-esteem and could never win it back.
However, it was not over. Leo, who had been standing there, came close to Penny with a dark face.
There was a sense of oppression in his deep eyes.
