Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) novel Chapter 361

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.

Chapter 361 

One thought dominated her mind. 

‘Eason was about to see my true self. 

“He was going to be angry with me. 

‘He was going to despise me. 

‘Was I about to lose Eason?‘ 

“Eason,” Penny looked at Eason almost pleadingly. “Everything I did was for you. Emma is not worthy of you.” 

55% 09: 

Eason’s expression didn’t soften. He said to Penny, “You never liked Emma. So, when you took my phone and sent that text message, it wasn’t because you wanted to bring us together. You wanted to see her embarrassed, and at the same time, ruin my blind date.” 

Penny’s lips were trembling. 

Eason was just too smart. 

With just a hint of a clue, he could connect everything. 

Penny felt like a clown with nowhere to hide in front of him. 

Eason was staring at Penny. “You said Emma didn’t deserve me. So, did you sabotage the blind date because Caroline didn’t deserve me either?” 

Penny was shaking all over. “Eason… you… listen to me… I could explain…” 

Eason calmly said, “I’m waiting for your explanation.” 

“Explanation? 

‘But what could I explain?’ 

Penny forced herself to calm down. 

She had to find a way. She just had to. 

After a while, Penny said with a bit of grievance, “Eason… I… I was just worried. Once Emina steps in, you’ll only care about her and not me.” 

Penny looked a bit wrong, a bit pitiful, and a bit spoiled. 

She was totally like a little girl. 

“Eason,” he looked at her. 

“Eason,” Penny pleaded, “I won’t dare to do it again. I really won’t.” 

Chapter 361 

She looked so pitiful and helpless. Even tears were in her eyes. 

In the past, Eason would have softened by now. 

But this time, the things Penny had done made it impossible for him to just let it slide. 

Just then, the door opened. 

Judith walked in, looking oddly at the two. 

“What are you two doing?” asked Judith. 

No one spoke. 

Judith immediately saw Penny’s tearful appearance. 

She instantly got angry. 

“Eason, are you picking on your sister?” 

Eason’s lips were pursed, silent. 

Judith frowned. “Apologize to your sister.” 

Eason still just sat there rigidly. 

“You…” Judith was fuming, about to lash out at Eason when she was looking for something. 

Penny quickly grabbed Judith’s arm. “Mom, don’t blame Eason. It’s my fault!” 

“What could you possibly do wrong?” Judith was skeptical. “Penny, stop covering for your brother.” 

“It really was my mistake, Penny said, visibly panicked. 

Eason stood up abruptly. “I’ve got stuff to do, gotta go.” 

He left without showing any emotion. 

Judith watched Eason’s retreating figure, then turned to look at Penny wiping her tears. 

A flicker of confusion crossed her eyes. 

‘What the heck is going on?” 

“Mom, I’m gonna head back to my room,” Penny said, managing a weak smile, then retreated to her room. 

As soon as she entered, the tears she had been holding back came flooding out. 

Penny cried her heart out, and then waves of panic began to overwhelm her.

Penny thought, ‘Eason is obviously mad at me. 

‘What now? Am I about to lose Eason for good? 

so many years. 

‘I like him for so many years. 

“If I lose him, what is the point of my life? 

‘What else can I do?” 

Plenty of thoughts raced through Penny’s mind. She even considered making Emma disappear from the world. 

‘But I know better if my actions are exposed, Eason, who like Emma, will surely protect her more cautiously.
