Chapter 685

After all, Penelope was the Jeffersons' little princess. Everything she did in public represented her family's reputation. She must have known what kind of consequences a public conflict here would bring, especially in a place like Phantom, frequented by so many people from elite circles. After hearing Xander's words, Penelope was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard. Her gaze flickered, and her eyes were wide with disbelief. "Xan, what did you just say? Could you repeat that?" When he saw her tearful, aggrieved face, Xander already had a good idea of what had happened. Still, he wanted to hear Penelope say it herself, so he kept his patience and repeated his question. "Penelope, can you tell me why you ended up clashing with her?" Penelope's tears poured down like water breaking through a dam at these words. Before long, they had soaked the front of her clothes. "Xan, I... I thought you came here to stand up for her." She sniffled and wiped away her tears in grievance.
