Susan was silent for a long time. Then, she suddenly looked up at Ben and said, “Ben, let’s go.”
Ben said, “Susan, if you haven’t thought of how to face Penny, why don’t we refuse her invitation tonight?”
“No,” Susan said calmly. “I’m going. I want to talk everything through with her face to face,
Susan was not willing to
willing to speculate by herself. She wanted to get face–to–face with Penny and hear her explanation.
If Penny really did it, Susan wanted to know why.
But if Penny didn’t do it, Susan would apologize for her suspicion.
Susan thought it was better to solve the problem at one time than to suspect and be on guard against each other in the future
Susan looked calm, so Ben said, “Okay.”
He respected all the decisions of Susan.
They were silent all the way.
A while later, Ben and Susan arrived at the restaurant where Penny would treat them to dinner.
In a luxurious private room.
Penny and Eason, as well as Judith, were already in the room, waiting for Susan and Ben.
Seeing Susan, Penny stood up with a smile, “Susan.”
Susan looked at her without saying a word.
She didn’t want to pretend. Before she could make everything clear, she really couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened.
Looking at the expression of Susan, both Eason and Judith were surprised.
However, Penny immediately realized something.
She thought, ‘Susan… She probably already knows what I have done.’
Penny looked down.
She thought, ‘It doesn’t matter now. Anyway, I’m here today to get these all solved.”
“Susan, what’s wrong with you? You don’t look very well. Are you too tired at work?” Judith asked worriedly.
Susan calmed herself down and reluctantly said, “Yes, I’m a little tired from work.”

“Don’t work too hard. No matter what, you have to find time to rest, Judith said.
“Got it,” Susan replied briefly but still didn’t look at Penny.
She did not intend to question Penny in front of Judith and Eason.
Susan wanted to talk to Penny alone so as to leave room for negotiation for both sides.
Penny smiled as if nothing had happened. She said gently, “You guys talk first. go and see if the food is ready”
With that, Penny walked out.
As soon as Penny walked to an empty comer, her cell phone rang.
Penny took out her phone and saw that it was another strange number.
She was a little scared when she saw the strange number.
Il
Penny hesitated for a moment before answering the phone with trembling fingers.
“Hello, Penny said in a hoarse voice.
“Miss Nicholas.” The mysterious man’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Let me remind you, Miss Nicholas. Today is the final day.”
“I know.” Penny gritted her teeth.
The man chuckled and said, “You invited them to dinner, didn’t you? It’s a good choice to make a move outside.”
Penny was shocked and looked around subconsciously.
“You don’t have to look for me.” The man seemed to be clear about what Penny was doing. He said directly, “As I said, all your actions are under my control.”
Penny was about to break down, but she forced herself to be strong and said slowly, “Don’t call me again. Like I told you, ril take action today.”
The man smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous, Miss Nicholas. I’m just reminding you. By the way, let me remind you, Ben and Susan are here today. If you can make them… you’ll have a higher chance of becoming the queen. Do you understand what I mean?”
“I see,” Penny responded and hung up the phone in a hurry.
She stood at the spot for a while.
Then, she took a few deep breaths.
When Penny finally calmed herself down, she walked stiffly to the kitchen.
The mysterious man said it like it was an easy thing to do, but in fact, it was not that easy.

In addition, Susas appally had something on her mind and looked quite nervous.
Enson wondered, Toms it have anything to do with Penny
Ten minutes later
Penny returned to the private pooin
Her fan was pale, and she was obviously a little uneasy
He glanced at her but didn’t say anything
Soon, the dishes were served
Penny’s eyes flicked
Ben Landor looked at her calmly.
The dishing were almost all served in a few minutes.
Franny smiled and said softly, “Let’s eat. Tell me if you want to eat something else. Don’t worry about me. I have taken

Judith began to drink the soup first as she always did.
Ben reached over and pressed her spoon.
Judith was stunned for a moment and then asked, “What do you want?”
Hen shook his head and then looked at Penny. “You should drink the soup

She was stunned instantly.

first.”
No matter how insensitive Judith was, she realized that something was wrong.
She withdrew her hand and looked around hesitantly. She felt that there were some things that she didn’t know.
“I don’t want soup,” Penny said reluctantly.
Ben looked at her with a faint smile. “If you don’t drink it first, we won’t dare to.”
Penny’s face suddenly turned even paler.
Enson couldn’t stand it anymore. He put down his knife and fork and asked, “Can’t you say it directly? What happened? Just
tell me.”
Ben looked at Penny and asked, “Do you want me to point it out directly?”
Penny smiled bitterly. Then she silently picked up her bowl of soup and drank it up calmly.
Then, she picked up her fork and took a bite of the steak and all the other dishes.
After that, she looked at Ben and asked, “Is that enough?”
Frowning, Ben was slightly surprised.
He wondered, ‘Have I guessed wrong?”
Penny said directly, “Don’t worry. What I put in the dishes is not poison, but flour.”
Ben frowned even deeper.
He wondered, ‘Flour? Why?
“Penny, what are you talking about? Why did you add flour to the food?” Judith didn’t understand it at all.
“Do you think Penny poisoned us?” Eason looked at Ben.
Chapter 179
Ben Landor frowned again.
He was puzzled too.
He couldn’t understand why Penny had put flour into the dishes.
Except Penny, everyone in the private room was in confusion.
Just then, Judith suddenly exclaimed, “Penny, why is there blood at the corner of your mouth? What’s going on? Is your mouth injured?
I’m fine, Penny said reluctantly. Then, she turned around and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Penny!” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Judith and Eason shouted in horror.
Even Susan instinctively rushed over
“I’m fine.” Penny wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked up at Susan. “You know what I’ve done, right?”
As she spoke, she spat out another mouthful of blood.
Susan pursed her lips and said, “None of those matters. Let me take you to the hospital first.”
“It’s useless” Penny stopped her. “The man said that whoever takes this poison can’t be cured.”
“Penny, what are you talking about? What poison? Who is that man?” Judith was in a panic.
She didn’t understand why a nice meal together turned out to be like this.
“I don’t have much time left. Listen to me now.” Penny wiped the corners of her mouth and looked at Susan
expressionlessly. “It was me who leaked the news that you were pregnant to Leo. It was also I who encouraged him to come to Coraland and help him make trouble secretly.”
al
Susan felt her heart skip a beat.
But she was already mentally prepared, so she was able to keep calm.
But Judith and Eason were greatly shocked.
They all knew very well how big a blow it was for Susan to know that she was unable to get pregnant again.
It appeared that the incident caused by Leo did not have much of an impact.
It was because Charlie was very open–minded.
But if Charlie had become unsatisfied with Susan because of it, Susan would have had a hard time.
They all knew that the person who arranged all of this must have been full of hostility towards Susan!

They had made a lot of assumptions and guesses.
But no one had expected that it was Penny who had done it!
“Why?” Judith said in a trembling voice.
13:12
“Why?” Penny’s eyes gradually turned frantic. “I don’t want to do it. I’ve worked very hard to treat her as a sister. But Susan left me no choice. She forced me into doing these.”
Penny’s eyes were full of hatred. Susan took a deep breath and said, “Penny! I don’t know what I did wrong to make you hate me so much.”
Blood flowed out of the corner of Penny’s mouth again.
Penny wiped her mouth again and then said with an expressionless face, “Of course you did wrong. What you did most wrong was to introduce me to Emma.”
Susan had thought of countless reasons on the way to the restaurant, but she had never expected that it would have something to do with Emma,
Eason was even more shocked. “Penny, what are you talking about?”
Penny turned to look at Eason,
Eason felt his heart tremble.
He vaguely sensed something.
He thought, ‘But how is that possible?‘
Eason was stunned.
Judith felt dizzy for a moment.
Everything that happened today was so unexpected for her.
Judith felt so shocked that she found everything before her eyes unbelievable.
Judith thought, ‘No way this is happening. I must be dreaming. None of this is real.
