---- Chapter 27 At the dinner held at Penelope's house on New Year's Eve, Jacob gave her a priceless moonstone comb. This time, she did not refuse his gift but accepted it calmly. "Thank you." "Are you finally willing to give me a chance, Penny?" asked Jacob. He was so elated that his lips were trembling violently. He attempted to say more, but she cut him off. "I'm pregnant, Jacob. The child is Peter's." "y-You!" he stuttered. His face turned red with anger.
He tossed away the wineglass in his hand and left after slamming the door behind him. The loud slam of the door closing startled her, but at the same time, she sighed in relief. She presumed that he would no longer pester her in the future because the child would technically be considered his younger brother. At night, she was about to prepare to rest after watching the fireworks show when several of Jacob's friends barged into the house and grabbed her.
"Jacob suddenly made a fuss about wanting to go ---- racing on the mountain track, Penelope. Nobody could stop him. Hurry up and come with us to take a look. Something's going to happen to him if we're late!" "It's snowing heavily outside, but he got himself heavily drunk and insisted on going racing. We don't know what's gotten into him either or why he's treating his life so lightly! We're so anxious right now! " Penelope broke out in a cold sweat.
She hurriedly put on her shoes and got out of bed, then rushed to the racing track. "Come back, Jacob Thornton!" she yelled at Jacob, who was just getting onto his motorcycle. "Do you hear me?" He turned to look at her. Tears immediately spilled from his eyes. "Do you know that by deliberately getting pregnant with my stepfather's child, you're pretty much forcing me to die, Penelope ? I'd rather die than see you bear children for another man!" She approached him step by step.

He was kneeling on the ground and letting out heart-wrenching sobs. She helped him and said gently, ''They say that if you truly love someone, you should love everything about them. Then, why can't you love my child?" Jacob pulled at his hair in his suffering. His ---- expression of despair was like that of a drowning person. "Tcan't do it! I'm 10 years younger than my stepfather, I earn more than him, and I'm more handsome than him.
I do everything better than he does, so why won't you choose me? Why did you have to kill my child? "T already told you that I'm yours. All my money belongs to you too! Why won't you accept it? You clearly love me so much!" She felt as if she was being shaken to pieces by him. She said slowly, "Because he's the one who gave me all his love when I most wanted to be loved. He mended my broken heart. Our paths have already diverged, Jacob Thornton.
Will you please accept reality?" "T refuse!" he yelled. He pushed her away and ran off into the night. After that day, she never saw him again. He sent himself to Anamurica to break into the market there and did not return even for her birthday. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of her father's death anniversary, and she dragged her swollen belly to the cemetery to pay her respects. After that, she started back down the mountain, only ---- to be accosted by Rebecca and held hostage.
Rebecca held the tip of a syringe filled with the HIV virus to her neck and smiled smugly. "It was you who caused me to become disfigured and no better than a monster, you bitch! Today, I'm going to ruin you too! "T'd certainly like to see if the father -and-son duo will still love you as much as they do now after you become a useless person!" Jacob , who was running toward them, frowned and shouted, "Let go of her!
I'll agree to whatever you ask as long as you let go of her, Rebecca!" Rebecca scoffed. Anger was burning in her eyes. "Hah! How devoted. If you're willing to accept that I will destroy your life, I can, just maybe, consider letting her go. Do you dare to step up?" Jacob approached them step by step without an ounce of fear in his expression . "I'm already willing to die for Penny, so this much is nothing.
Let's trade hostages." Shocked , Penelope said in a trembling voice, "Don't come over here, Jacob. She's not going to let you off. She wants to ruin both of us!"
