Calvin cupped his face and looked at Penelope in disbelief. I-Ie shouted at Penelope angrily, “How dare you hit me!”
Calvin’s eyes were filled with anger as he raised his hand to hit Penelope back.
Suddenly, Jasper grabbed his hand.
“No matter what, she’s still your sister and she hit you for your own good. You hitting her is disrespectful,” Jasper said indifferently.
Calvin glared at Jasper harshly and tried to pull his arm back and fling Jasper’s wrist off, but his struggle was to no avail.
“F*cking let go of me!” Calvin shouted wretchedly.
“Don’t assume that I have no idea what you’re thinking of! Now that Pen is rich and has her own company, you want to get back together with her, don’t you? You f*cking wish!”
Calvin pointed at Jasper’s nose and shouted, “I’ve seen too many people like you! You have no f*cking right to be called a man! I’ll beat you to death!”
Jasper ignored Calvin’s crazed clamor and turned to Penelope, “This is your brother, you bring him back and teach him some manners.”
Calvin wanted to say more when Penelope stared at him icily. “Leave this place right now, Calvin! If you keep causing trouble, then I’ll never give you another cent again! I swear!”
Calvin’s fury was immediately replaced with fear.
He had just gotten out of jail, and he did not have any income. Even if someone was willing to give him a job, the man was still too lazy to take up any manual labor. Not to mention, Penelope was rich now, and ran her own company. All Calvin wanted to do was to take money from Penelope.
This was why they had fought tonight.
Calvin could tell that Penelope was not joking. He clenched his teeth and told Jasper resentfully, “Look, you piece of crap. I don’t care what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve, but there’s no way I’d let you come back and be with Pen now that she’s rich!”
“Calvin!”
Penelope shouted.
