The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2250

Tracy never wanted to do anything to Penny. She had no desire to derive pleasure from harming others. If Penny had just obediently refrained from discussing the incident, Tracy could easily pretend as if nothing had occurred. She could have even turned a blind eye even if the acting skills displayed by that small group were worse than her own.

Unfortunately, everything was going smoothly until Penny suddenly went haywire and planned to spill the beans to the meddlesome Monica. Tracy was aware that Penny was merely contemplating an idea, but once an idea took root, it was only a matter of time before that idea was acted upon.

Furthermore, Monica always opposed her many times. Going against her had essentially sealed Monica's fate, as Tracy was not prepared to let a blonde jeopardize her future as a superstar.

'I'm not ruthless,' Tracy thought to herself. 'It's a shame that Roland had to find out what you knew. He's terrified of other people discovering his misdeeds, which is why he took the initiative to deal with you. It has nothing to do with me.'

Tracy looked at the cityscape from her high-floor vantage point, and she did not even bother to draw the curtains because the light outside did not fear her.

What Roland did was independent of her actions. He was a coward who decided to deal with Penny simply because he was afraid of the possibility that he would get into trouble. Only Tracy had leverage over him, and Roland would always keep his mouth shut and behave obediently in her presence.

Tracy swirled the red wine in her glass and took a sip as if imbibing some blood between her lips.

"I hope you don't blame me for what's going to happen to you, Penny. You're just unlucky. Hope you don't get a next life so you don't scare people anymore!"

…

Penny found herself amid the biggest crisis of her life. She did not expect the perpetrator to discover her. Her intention was never to reveal anything to Monica and implicate her in it, but in a moment of desperation and with no one else to turn to for help, she had no choice but to give Monica a call. After all, Monica was the only one who would believe her unconditionally!

Even her most trusted friend doubted her when she called to explain the situation.

"Don't you believe me? If you don't, just say so, and I won't bother you again!" Penny panted heavily.

Monica got a jolt from that and said, "What's gotten into you? Why wouldn't I believe you? Do you think I'd trust Tracy? I should've known it was Tracy's fault. You seemed like you've changed ever since you came out of the room that day. I should've guessed that she was the cause."

Monica felt deeply remorseful, thinking that Penny had chosen to keep it all to herself because she had been too slow to notice anything.

However, Penny did not dwell on that at all because it had been her choice to hide the truth and actively protect Monica from being dragged into the tumult. Unfortunately, the person she sought to shield so ardently was the one she resorted to turning for help at the last moment. Penny wondered just when she would be able to truly repay Monica.

Penny's labored breathing caused Monica's eyes to well up. "What should I do? Do you want me to talk to the director and ask him to intervene? Or should I call the police directly?"

"Calling the police won't help. I don't have clear evidence. Everything's just an assumption. I think it'd be better to go directly to the director and ask him to bring someone over..."

Penny gasped loudly, and the tail end of her sentence was barely audible. Monica guessed that she had found a hiding place. At that moment, she thanked her lucky stars that she had chosen to stay near the production crew to try and learn more from the other actors.

Without a pause, she sprinted toward the director and producer. Penny's life rested in the hands of these two individuals.

The call ended abruptly, and she frowned when she looked down at the phone. She could not even imagine just how frightened Penny must be on the other end.

All she could do was run faster and faster, by which time she ran into Lucas.
