Chapter 379
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.

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?”

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!”
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?”
