Chapter 296 This Pendant Penelope's Mother's Keepsake "Uncle Connor," she said, "Can you cand identify?" Connor, being called out, was initially stunned, then pointed at his nose. "Me?" "Yes, does Penelope have any noticeable birthmarks or scars?" "No," Connor shook his head. "She was very well-behaved as a child, never played rough, so she doesn't have any scars from injuries." Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was shocked inside.
How did a female corpse suddenly appear? Was it deliberately arranged by someone to make Kelvin give up completely? Or did Penelope's plan fail, and she really drowned? Thinking this, Connor almost fainted.
He couldn't wait to find Brandon and ask him thoroughly to feel at ease! These days, Connor had been suppressing his concern and worry, playing the role of a grieving fatherwho lost his daughter, not contacting anyone proactively, fearing to arouse suspicion and let Kelvin see through the cracks! "Scars." Kelvin's eyes narrowed, suddenly thinking of something.
Monica's words gave him an idea! Kelvin immediately reached out and pulled open the collar of the female corpse, looking at her neck. But he saw nothing.
"What are you doing?" Monica hurriedly stopped him.
"Penelope has a scar on her neck from a knife cut," Kelvin said, "But this female corpse doesn't! So, this isn't Penelope!" After a pause, his tone becmore certain, "Penelope also has a scar on her cheek, you all have seen it!" Monica thought for a moment, "That's true. But the scar removal cream you painstakingly found for her, she applied it every day, and it worked very well. If you don't look closely, it's almost invisible!" "But the scar is still there!" "Yes, but it was already hard to see when she was alive, and now this body has been in the water for so many days, it's even harder to see!" Monica's words slowly plunged Kelvin back into despair.
In his heart, he just didn't want to admit that this was Penelope.
He refused to face it! Timothy beside him was also full of confusion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat's going on? Where did this female corpse cfrom? Was it arranged by Brandon to confuse the situation and make Kelvin completely accept Penelope's death? Or was it a coincidence? Timothy couldn't figure it out.
And everyone present had their own secrets and thoughts! After thinking for a while, Timothy spoke, "Monica is right, relying solely on scars for identification is not enough. Kelvin, you need to stay rational." Kelvin pressed his lips tightly. "Then tell me, how should we identify her?" "Uh..." Timothy couldn't answer for a moment.
But he believed that this couldn't be Penelope.
If the plan failed and Brandon didn't save Penelope and send her out of LA, Brandon wouldn't be so calm! This was a serious matter, and the whole plan didn't allow for failure! Because it concerned Penelope and the baby in her belly, lives wereat stake! Kelvin looked at the corpse with a heavy expression, trying to see a trace of Penelope in the blurred features.
He couldn't accept that the woman he loved the most had beclike this, lying here with her features unrecognizable.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Monica screamed.

Kelvin stared at her, "What's wrong?" "There's something here," Monica stared at the half-open collar of the corpse, reaching out to touch it, "It's a red string, letsee." She was very brave, pulling the string out.
A crystal-clear pendant appeared in front of everyone.
The moment the pendant appeared, everyone's face changed completely! "The pendant!" Monica gasped. "This is Penelope's ! I once handed it to her myself!" Monica remembered clearly, Grace's pendant had been broken, and Penelope found her, asking her to repair it.
Connor, hearing her words, rushed forward to take a look, and sat down on the ground in a daze.
He kept muttering, "This pendant is Penelope's, it's her mother's keepsake! I gave it to her, she wore it around her neck!" Kelvin also remembered, that pendant was broken by him.
At that time, Penelope's heartbroken expression was still vivid in his memory.
Now, the pendant appeared on this corpse.
To Penelope, this pendant was too important, she couldn't possibly discard it, only keep it well and wear it. So, at this moment, Kelvin felt his world collapse! The female corpse fished out from the sea, with the pendant they all had seen around her neck, this could only be Penelope! "No." Kelvin shook his head repeatedly, his eyes bloodshot.
He snatched the pendant from Monica's hand, gripping it tightly. "This is fake! There are so many pendants in the world, it's not surprising to have an identical one!" "Kelvin, stop deceiving yourself, such a fine gemstone, can ordinary people have it? And it just happens to appear on this corpse?" Saying this, Monica looked at Connor. "Uncle Connor, can you cand take a look?" Connor didn't need to look closely, just one glance was enough to confirm.

He nodded, "It's indeed Penelope's pendant. After her mother died, took it off myself and handed it to her." Connor turned around, covering his face, tears streaming down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTimothy said nothing, patting his shoulder. "Uncle Connor." Connor sighed. "I don't want to say anything." Actually, Connor didn't know the whole story now.
He wiped his tears, planning in his mind to find a chance to see Brandon, or at least make a phone call.
He wanted peace of mind.
Connor was old, facing so many sudden events, his heart couldn't take it! Kelvin gripped the pendant, almost crushing it with his strength! He stared at the female corpse.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, the pendant couldn't be faked.
Kelvin reached out his trembling hand. "Penelope." He embraced "Penelope" tightly, not letting go.
At this moment, where was his fear, where was his disgust? Only endless sorrow and love! "You punishlike this, makingmore sorrowful again and again, is there anything more terrifying than facing your body?" "I can't even see your face clearly, I can't recognize you!" "Is this still you, on the deck, wearing a dress, saying you want to dance for me?" Kelvin lowered his head, his forehead touching hers.
Scorching tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Setting up the memorial hall, holding the funeral, burying and erecting the tombstone. Kelvin had restrained his sorrow, never shedding tears in front of others.
But now, facing this body, all his reason, all his defense collapsed completely!
