Chapter 384: Chapter 385 Shut Up!
Penny Leng asked subconsciously, “Why?”
Immediately after asking, she felt something was wrong and denied, “No! It’s not true! You’re talking nonsense! I didn’t switch your chocolates, stop making things up!”
“I’m not making things up, I have proof!” Ye Xingbei stared into her eyes and slowly said, “The golden sponsor you mentioned told me last night that his employees found the workshop where the sugar-free chocolate was made!”
The color drained from Penny Leng’s face, and the hand which was clutching Ye Xingbei’s shirt shivered violently.
“Surprised?” Ye Xingbei whispered with a grin, “My golden sponsor is a very clever man! He told me that every action leaves a trace. Even though the thief who switched my chocolates hasn’t been caught red-handed, sugar-free chocolates can’t just appear from nowhere. Somebody has to make them. So, he sent his men to find out who had ordered sugar-free chocolates… ”
Penny Leng instinctively retorted, “I didn’t! I didn’t order any!”
Ye Xingbei locked her eyes, “Feng City’s Wish Custom CandyWorkshop…”
Upon hearing Ye Xingbei’s words, Penny Leng’s face became even paler.
She gasped for breath, her body trembling, looking as if she might faint at any moment.
Such a weak-hearted person daring to harm others.
It was laughably pathetic!
She brushed off Penny Leng’s hand clutching her clothes, and said coolly, “The Young Lady of the Feng family and Feng Yi in the video you just showed me, aren’t they from Feng City? You who have lived abroad for eight years, seem to know a lot about Feng City’s wealthiest family. Could it be the gossip you heard while ordering sugar-free chocolates in Feng City?”
“I didn’t! I didn’t!” Penny Leng’s face turned ghastly white, she took a few steps back, shaking her head vehemently, “Ye Xingbei, you are just trying to frame me because you dislike me! You… you…”
She glared at Ye Xingbei, suddenly lunged forward, and forcefully clutched Ye Xingbei’s throat, threatening fiercely, “Ye Xingbei, I warn you, not a word of today’s matter should be shared with Ah Li! If you dare drive a wedge in my relationship with Ah Li, I will destroy you at all costs, leaving you disgraced and with nowhere to rest your dead body!”
Ye Xingbei grabbed her wrist, looking over her shoulder, “Penny Leng, do you know who’s standing behind you?”
“Don’t trick me…” Even though she claimed Ye Xingbei was deceiving her, the sense of dread creeping behind her forced her to look back.
Behind her stood two men.
The one standing in front was none other than her boyfriend, Ye Xingli.
Penny Leng subconsciously released her hand from Ye Xingbei’s throat, her legs gave in, and she almost fell to the ground.
She stumbled, abruptly snapping back to reality, she stumbled and hurled herself into Ye Xingli’s embrace, wrapped her arms around Ye Xingli’s neck, sobbing, “Ah Li, Xingbei… Xingbei has gone mad! She is accusing me of replacing her chocolates, and trying to drive a wedge between us in front of you. Ah Li, I… I’m so scared, I love you, I can’t lose you! Don’t believe her lies!” “Shut up!”
The person who scolded wasn’t Ye Xingli, but Ye Xinglan who was standing behind him.
Unlike Ye Xingli’s frivolous manner, Ye Xinglan was always cold as ice, ruthless and decisive.
As the future head of the Ye family, with his father being sickly, the Ye family was essentially under Ye Xinglan’s rule now.
In the Ye family, whatever Ye Xinglan said was law. No one dared to defy his commands.
Penny Leng shivered violently, her face void of any color, shocked by the cold fierceness on Ye Xinglan’s face.
She had a premonition.
Tonight, the event she had been dreading for a long time was about to happen.
She… was really going to lose Ye Xingli.
