Chapter 608
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
Penelope eventually decided to imitate Kelly and replace her.
She began to study Kellyâs method of seducing lan seriously.
The first time Kelly caught Ianâs attention was when she grabbed Ianâs wrist unexpectedly and scratched his palm in front of everyone.
Although the action seemed silly, it was clearly carefully planned.
Kellyâs actions were especially eyeâcatching in front of the group of women who behaved woodenly.
It was really unexpected for Kelly, who appeared cold and dull, to be so scheming. Indeed, no one who could enter the entertainment industry was simple.
It was rumored that Kelly was an orphan. Her adoptive father had passed away early, and her adoptive mother was nowhere to be found. She had grown up in an orphanage. But it was absolutely impossible for such a person with no status or background to debut in the most popular girl band in the country and obtain a role in an action film without having some powerful methods.
It seemed like Penelope had to be wary of Kelly in the future.
Penelope decided to imitate Kellyâs scratching move. The move had already been used by Kelly once.
Logically speaking, there should be nothing new about it when it was used the second time.
Fortunately, Ian had lost his memory, which meant that he didnât remember anything.
That meant the move was still new to him, and it had been proven to be useful.
With Kellyâs example right before her, it was the same as having the answer sheet before taking the exam.
âThis is wonderful!â Penelope thought.
She stood up excitedly and decided to go all out.
The next morning, she went down to the restaurant for breakfast.
Penelope had been waiting for lan on the way to the restaurant. When she saw Ian, she suddenly extended her right hand. âGood morning, Mr. Walter.â
Janâs eyes were gentle as he nodded at her. He raised his hand and gently held Penelopeâs fingertips.
He turned to leave.
At this moment, Penelope suddenly grabbed his wrist and scratched his palm.
âHow can she?â he thought.
Ian suddenly looked up at Penelope in disbelief.
Although he did not have this memory, he had heard the recording many times and knew that there was once a woman who scratched his palm so clumsily.
âBut, wasnât that woman Kelly?â he wondered.
Moreover, the recording said that he had once given an order not to let anyone leak the news.
âBesides, how did Penelope know?â he thought.
Ian had a headache. Frame by frame, images suddenly flashed through his mind. He could not see these images clearly. He only felt a graceful figure scratching his palm like this.
âCould it be that the woman he called âpreciousâ in the recording was not Kelly? That is impossible!â he thought.
lan immediately frowned. When he was young, Kelly had saved him. He was very sure that he had come to the Hushe Republic to find her. Moreover, Elijah and Emmanuel had both said that he loved Kelly very much.
There were too many suspicions regarding this. Ian lowered his gaze and decided to wait and see.
He imitated the description in the recording and asked curiously, âMiss Collins, is this the etiquette of the Hushe Republic? Itâs very interesting.â
âDear God!â Penelope gasped inwardly.
It was exactly the same as the reaction given in the information. It was indeed the correct response.
Penelope suppressed her excitement and forced herself to calm down.
Kelly walked in from another direction and happened to see this scene.
The scene in front of her was a little absurd. In the past, she had also scratched Ianâs hand clumsily like this. She still clearly remembered Ianâs reaction.
Now, only half a year had passed, but times had changed so much.
Kelly had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She looked at everything in front of her in a daze.
When Penelope saw Kelly, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Ian and smiled, then she ran towards Kelly. She hugged her arm affectionately. âKelly.â
Because she was in a daze, Kelly did not dodge in time and was hugged in the arm by Penelope.
She frowned slightly and looked at Penelope.
Penelope whispered, âCome here. I have something to tell you.â
They walked to a remote corner.
Penelope let go of her and asked directly, âYou saw everything?â
Kelly did not say anything. She only looked up at Penelope. She was a little curious as to why Penelope would scratch Ianâs palm so clumsily.
Is it a coincidence, or is she pretending to do what I had done?â she thought.
Penelope took a deep breath. âI know you were with Mr. Walter in the past. I deliberately followed in your footsteps just now.â
Kelly raised her eyebrows. âSo that was the case,â she thought.
âKelly.â Penelope turned around and stared at Kelly. âDo you want to be with Mr. Walter?â
âThatâs all in the past. Kellyâs tone was light. âI donât want him to remember me.â
âThatâs good.â Penelope heaved a sigh of relief. âI like Mr. Walter. I want to pursue him. I hope you can stay away from him and not expose me.â
âNot expose her?â Kelly mused.
She lowered her eyes.
She would not expose Penelope, but she was at a loss. It did not feel good to watch someone else pretend to be her and take away what once belonged to her.
Kellyâs heart ached.
âWill lan like someone else? Will he like someone else as much as he used to like me?â she wondered.
Kelly did not dare to think about it anymore. She warned herself that since she had decided to let go, she had to be decisive and not hesitate at all.
From the moment she hurt Ian, it was impossible for them to be together.
Kelly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes were clear.
âOkay.â She looked at Penelope. âI promise you.â
