Twins and Ex-wife
Chapter 170 I Don’t Wanna Be That Ugly

Of course, it was a lot of pain to have that hot soup burning up her skin. Penny's hand quickly turned red and swollen.

But Penny didn't regret it one bit.

She would do anything to get what she wanted. Five years ago, she got pregnant after having a one-night stand with a man she met in the nightclub and rolled down the stairs on purpose to frame Kiki for murdering her baby, which made Christ so furious that he put Kiki in jail.

This time, she did that trick again. She wouldn't be able to make Christ put these two to prison but he would definitely teach them a lesson!

Thinking that way, she started screaming more hysterically, "Ouch! Christ, help me! They wanna kill me! Christ, it's so painful..."

Jaden and Jayla looked at each other and were impressed by how dramatic Penny could get.

Other children would be terrified at this scene but Jaden and Jayla weren't scared at all.

They were in awe of how cruel Penny was to herself.

Jayla couldn't help but asked Penny, "Why do you like to abuse yourself so much? Is it because self-abuse can bring you pleasure?"

What the hell! She was being tortured by pain, okay?

Penny suppressed the urge to talk back and continued to scream, "Christ, help me! It's excruciating!"

Jayla did not want to watch anymore because she was such a lousy actress.

Christ was just coming downstairs after the video conference was finished. he heard Penny's scream and saw the floor spilled with fish soup. He noticed that the back of Penny's hand had turned red and swollen, so he rushed down the stairs and clutched Penny's hand, "What the hell is going on here?!"

Seeing that Christ was here, Penny started crying and her tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"Christ, it hurts... They want to kill me, it hurts..."

Penny sobbed and began weeping, "Christ, I know they don't like me, but why did they throw fish soup on me! I cooked this fish soup for you on my own. I didn't expect that.....”

Penny looked down and started shivering like she had been wronged.

Christ's eyes darkened and scorned Jaden and Jayla, "Did you really pour fish soup on her? Why would you do that?!"

Penny leaned on Christ's shoulder. She looked like she was in pain, but she still pleaded for Jaden and Jayla, "Christ, don't blame them! Although what they did is terrible, they are still children after all!" "Christ, they are your children, no matter what they do to me, I will treat them as my own. Christ, just don't blame them, okay?"

Jayla looked up and glanced at Penny.

Penny was playing the victim here.

Since she was so into acting, then Jayla would follow her lead! She would also enjoy a great drama!

Jayla lowered her head and murmured, "Mr. Birkin, I'm sorry that I...poured that fish soup on her."

"Penny, I'm...I'm sorry, I'll never do that again. Please forgive me."

Penny was stunned. She didn't expect that Jayla would admit that she did it. But she didn't think twice about it and thought that Jayla must be intimidated by her and therefore admitted it. Just as Penny wanted to say a few nice things about her, Jayla wept, "Mr. Birkin, I really poured that soup on Penny! Penny, I just admitted it to Mr. Birkin. Please don't hurt me again!" Penny's eyes were wide open. Hurt her?! When did she hurt her?!

Jayla got carried away with her acting and started twitching. She batted her big doe eyes and a tear rolled down her cheeks, "Penny, say something! I told Mr. Birkin that I did it. Please promise you won't hit me again, okay?"

"When did I hurt you?!" Penny couldn't help asking, "you are the one who threw that bowl of soup at me and threaten me to leave Christ!"

"Penny, I'm just a child. How is it possible for me to threaten you!" Jaden looked at Penny in fear and said, "and that bowl is too heavy for me. I can't even hold it by myself. How could I manage to do that?" After saying that, Jayla hurriedly covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, Penny, I shouldn't have said that. I didn't mean to tell Mr. Birkin the truth. Please don't hit me again! And please don't hurt my brother, okay?" Seeing how dramatic her sister had got, Jaden's lips twisted but he still agreed with his sister, "Penny, you were really mean to us. Please don't hurt me again."

Jaden wasn't used to playing the victim and he wanted to throw up after saying that.

But even if it wasn't comfortable for him, he would stick to the end for Auntie Kiki.

Penny said furiously, "Nonsense! I've never hurt you before!"

She turned her face away and held Christ's arm, "Christ, don't trust a single word from them! I've never hurt them before! Look at my hand! They hurt me! Christ, you know I'm scared of pain. How could I pour fish soup on my own hand! Christ, don't let them fool you!"

Penny had a point. No one would be willing to hurt themselves and there was no chance that Penny would harm herself like that.

Thinking of how Penny saved him from that fire regardless of her own life, Christ felt bad for her when he saw the wound on her hand. "Jaden, Jayla, apologize to Penny!"

Penny raised her eyebrows in triumph. She knew that these two kids would be no match for her! But apologies were not enough. She got to beat them up to make them pay and let out her anger! "Christ, it hurts..."

Penny frowned, "Christ, do you think this will leave a scar? I don't want that. I don't want to be that ugly!"

After saying that, Penny started sobbing again.

Christ really liked Jaden and Jayla. But when he saw how miserable Penny was, he said to them in a cold voice, "Apologize!"☐☐
