Penny wanted to say something else, but when she met Christ's eyes that were so cold that she suddenly couldn't find her voice.
She could only look at Christ in a daze, shaking her head vigorously with tears in her eyes.
He was like a lion on the brink of madness, seemingly ready to bite off a person's throat and bruise them to death in the next moment.
In particular, the disgust in his eyes was like a knife carved into the eyes inch by inch and stabbed into one's heart, leaving one breathless.
Finally, he opened his mouth, his voice as cold as if it came from the iceberg of tens of degrees below zero, "Penny, Kiki didn't kill your child, did she? Say it! Why did you set Kiki up? Tell me! Why?"
He was so strong that he squeezed Penny's neck to the point where she couldn't breathe, she was about to spit out her tongue, but he still didn't have the slightest intention of letting her go.
When Penny did not speak, Christ asked again, word by word, "Why did you set Kiki up like that! Why!"
"Christ, let go of Penny! You'll kill Penny!" Penny’s mother was afraid that her daughter would die, so she hurriedly stepped forward and tried to pull Christ away, but her strength was no match for Christ's, and Christ's iron-clamp-like hands continued to choke Penny unceremoniously.
"Let my sister go!" Dylan was also frightened by Christ's action, "Uncle, sister loves you so much, she has given so much for you, you can't do this to her!"
"Yes Christ, can't you see Penny's heart for you? Christ, stop it!" Penny’s father also said with a panicked look on his face.
"Yes, Penny, you've given so much for me!" Christ spat out these words, almost word by word through clenched teeth.
"You made me think I touched you, you made me think Kiki killed your child, and I also, gave you the opportunity to be violent to Kiki for five years, you gave a lot for me, a lot!"
"Christ, let go!" Evie rushed to the stage, she grabbed Christ's arm hard, her eyes were teary, the corners of her eyes were still wet, only these tears were for Kiki, not for Penny.
She knew that the Kiki she had grown up with would not do such a heartless thing, and indeed, it was Penny who had set Kiki up!
Evie had also heard about Kiki being brutalized in prison. She had, in fact, bribed someone in the prison to take care of Kiki at the time, not realizing that Penny had even bribed her people, making it impossible for her to learn about Kiki's true condition in prison.
Thinking of what Dave had told her about all the abuse Kiki had received in prison, Evie wanted to kill Penny even more than Christ did.
But now, Christ could not kill Penny.
In full view of everyone, if Christ had killed Penny, something that clearly broke the law, even if their Family was so powerful, they would not be able to completely suppress such a scandal.
It's not worth losing her son's life's future for Penny!
"Christ, stop it!" Frank also yelled at Christ in a cold voice.
Christ did not want to stop, when he thought of Kiki's child who died tragically in prison, when he thought of all the suffering Kiki had endured, he hated that he could not kill Penny with a thousand cuts.
"You can't kill my sister! Have you forgotten who saved you from the fire in spite of her life? My sister saved your life, you can't kill her!" Thinking of this matter, Dylan could not help but have a little more strength in his heart, "You cannot do that!"
Christ heaved Penny to the ground without pity, his eyes were red, now he did not look like a living human being, but rather like a ferocious beast that drank blood.
