Chapter 282 She'd Rather Die Than Be Your Wife By the seaside.
The police had set up a cordon, prohibiting unauthorized personnel from entering! All the fishing boats were deployed, marking off the sea area and starting a full-scale search.
Countless incandescent lamps lit up the sea surface, their light glaring but still unable to penetrate the darkness of the water.
The night was the best disguise! Kelvin stood by the sea.
Jeff, Ryan, and others from The King Manor stood by his side, preventing him from doing anything rash.
They were especially afraid he might jump into the sea to look for Penelope.
Timothy hurried over. "Kelvin, what's the situation?" He pressed his lips together and said just one word, "Search." They were still searching.
But there was still no news.
Kelvin's face was pale, his hands clenched tightly at his sides, his gaze heavy.
He looked at the sea, his brows furrowed deeply, lost in thought.
"We will find her," Timothy said, "Don't act impulsively. With so many people and boats, the chances are much higher than if you jumped in alone to save her." Hearing his words, Kelvin suddenly reached out and grabbed Timothy by the collar. He asked harshly, "If you hadn't rushed over to stop me, if I had jumped in right after her, I could have saved her! I could have! I've saved her like this before!" "Why did you stop me? Why! That was the best chance for rescue!" "Now, after so much thas passed, how can I find her? Even if I do, it will be..." Kelvin couldn't continue.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPenelope's health was poor; she had been recuperating in the hospital for a long tbefore slowly recovering. The seawater was so cold and deep, and she couldn't swim. She would drown and suffocate within minutes.
And it had been almost half an hour since she jumped into the sea.
With each passing minute, his hope diminished.
Until he was in despair.
"Kelvin, if I hadn't stopped you, you would have jumped in and met the sfate," Timothy said sternly, "This is the ocean! Do you think it's the artificial lake inside the King Manor?" "No matter what, I could have saved her. I had the tand the chance!" Timothy wished he could punch him to keep him calm.
He pushed Kelvin's hand away. "Get a grip! You're Kelvin; you have so many responsibilities. How could I just watch you jump in, too? Penelope was determined to leave you; she'd rather die than be your wife!" "Shut up!" But Timothy continued, "You're always confused when it comes to her! This isn't the Kelvin I know!" "Look at yourself now!" "You weren't straightforward when you loved her, and you can't handle losing her. If I were Penelope, I wouldn't spend my life with someone like you either!" As his friend, Timothy knew Kelvin too well, including his weaknesses.
At this moment, someone had to scold him and make him calm down.
Ryan and Jeff stood by, not daring to make a sound.
Kelvin's expression was darker than the night, staring at Timothy as if he wanted to devour him.
After a while, he turned back to stare at the sea.
"You better not do anything stupid," Timothy warned, "I'm telling you, if something happens to you, no one will put in the effort to search for Penelope!" Kelvin suddenly snapped out of it.
Yes, if he lost his life searching for her, how could others be willing to spend enormous resources to find someone who jumped into the sea? At most, they would search for three days. If they couldn't find her, they would give up.
Only he would persist in searching until he found her.
Even if Penelope had succumbed to the sea, he needed to find her. He couldn't bear the thought of her disappearing without a trace. Dead or alive, he had to see her one last time.
"Did you hear me!" Timothy said, "James and I won't insist on finding Penelope! Only you! You better stay alive!" His words were highly persuasive.

"Ryan." "Yes, Mr. Davis!" "Deploy more fishing boats, search through the night," Kelvin ordered, "Don't stop for twenty-four hours!" Ryan replied, "Mr. Davis, all the fishing boats in LA are already here." "Then get them from other cities! Go now!" Ryan nodded and left with a serious expression.
Tonight, no one would sleep! As the sky began to lighten, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, reflecting off the shimmering water.
Dawn was breaking.
Kelvin stood like a statue, unmoving, the entire night.
Every half hour, Jeff would report.
"Mr. Davis, still no sign." "Nothing found." "No news." "Changed the search team." "Mr. Davis, still no news." Every report was the same! In the end, Jeff couldn't bear to continue reporting.
Because there was no news.
Penelope had vanished into the deep blue sea.

"What's the latest news?" He demanded harshly. "Speak!" "Still nothing." Kelvin watched the sun slowly rise over the horizon.
A beautiful, radiant sunrise.
The sunlight sparkled on the seaas if sprinkled with gold dust.
His beloved was at the bottom of this sea.
"Keep searching," Kelvin said, "We will "every find her. Search every corner of this sea area.
Then, as if not reassured, he added, "Spread the word, offer a reward. Whoever finds Penelope will get a hundred million dollars!" The content Penele is on novelenglish.net! A hefty reward would surely attract brave souls! A hundred million dollars was too tempting for ordinary people! Kelvin could only increase Penelope's chances of being found this way! Jeff replied, "Yes." But everyone knew the golden rescue thad passed.
They hadn't found Penelope all night. Even if they were lucky enough to find her now, it would only be a corpse.
Soaked in seawater for too long, the body would be deformed and swollen, unrecognizable.
How could Kelvin accept Penelope in such a state? "Kelvin!" Suddenly, a loud shout came, and Nathan pushed through the crowd, running straight towards him. "Where is Penelope!" Nathan's face was pale, full of fear, like a madman out of control.
Before he could reach Kelvin, the bodyguards stopped him.
"Move aside!" Nathan roared, pointing at Kelvin," Where is Penelope, you better tell me!" He had woken up early and saw the news, discovering that someone had jumped off a yacht last night.
At first, he didn't care, until he sawKelvin on the camera.
