Chapter 1534Penelope fell to the ground as she saw Brooklyn protecting the woman and the eight-year-old son behind him.She then started crying so hysterically that she could not stop herself.Edmund could not stand it anymore.His daughter was making him lose face because of the troubles that she had caused at the restaurant.“Stop it and come home with me.”“I’m not leaving.”Penelope shook him off.“I only want to get to the bottom of things today.Brooklyn Simons, you b*stard, you played with my feelings!”Brooklyn comforted his wife behind him, asked her to take their son into the private room, and then glared at Penelope impatiently.“I played with your feelings?”He gave off a disdainful smirk.“You slept with me voluntarily back then.I didn’t force you to do so, did I? Both of us came out only for the fun of it.I haven’t seen any woman as shameless and clingy as you.”When Edmund heard him insulting his daughter like this, his expression dimmed instantly.“Brooklyn Simons, you’ve crossed the line.”“Pve crossed the line? Isn’t it obvious that your daughter is the one who has crossed the line here? I admit that I’ve had a lot of women, and she knew that I was a playboy who didn’t care about feelings.She’s the one who kept on pestering me shamelessly, to the extent that I grew tired of her and tried to break up with her.Yet she didn’t want to do so.And she’s bold enough to try to make a move on my wife and son now.”Brooklyn patted his suit.“She’s delivered herself to my doorstep so cheaply, asking me to be devoted to her and even marry her.Keep dreaming! Who does she think she is?”“Brooklyn Simons!”Edmund was furious, but seeing that more and more onlookers were starting to gather around them, he could not afford to lose any more face.Thus, he glared at Penelope, “Have you seen this man’s true colors now? Now give up on your hope and come back with me.”“I’m not going to leave, Father.I can’t get over this.”Penelope was emotionally crushed.“I love him so much.How can he treat me like this!?” Brooklyn scoffed coldly.He felt disdainful and even annoyed by her so-called profound affection for him.Edmund slapped Penelope and rebuked angrily, “Wake up now! Is this still not embarrassing enough for your liking?!” Violet stood among the crowd and felt a little sympathetic to Penelope upon seeing this.After all, she was deeply in love with Brooklyn.Even though she knew that Brooklyn was a playboy, she could not extricate herself from indulging in Brooklyn’s sweet talks.Brooklyn had no feelings for her—the feeling that he had for her was, at best, the novelty of having an extramarital affair with someone else.He was a scumbag, but he clearly understood that he should differentiate his wife from all mistresses that he had had outside.At least, he was a scumbag who knew when to draw the line and did not abandon his wife and children for the sake of the mistresses that he had outside.Penelope had lost because she took her relationship with him too seriously, thinking that the playboy would one day marry her after he had had enough fun.Alas, she did not know that this playboy already had a home, and the thing that he would do after having had enough fun in the outside world was to return to his family.The farce did not end until Penelope was forcibly taken away by Edmund.Violet and Jackie returned to the private room.When the dishes were served, she asked in order to clear her doubts, “How did you know that Brooklyn is married?”Jackie slid his fingertips over the lip of the wine glass without raising his gaze.“You can find out about it just by checking.”However, he did not tell her that he had only investigated it because she and Penelope had gotten detained due to the brawl.Very few people knew that Brooklyn’s wife was his first love in college and that they had married in a low-profile manner after graduating.Brooklyn’s wife had always known that her husband was a playboy but chose to turn a blind eye to her husband’s infidelity.She did not do so out of her generosity.Even though Brooklyn was fooling around outside, he came home every day and was very devoted to his wife and children.Brooklyn’s wife took good care of his parents and children, and the patriarch and the matriarch of the Simons were very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.Hence, even if Brooklyn had always been a scumbag and had had affairs with many women, their relationships were purely sexual, and no feelings were involved from beginning to the end.
