Chapter 665: Meet me today
"She’s dating Jonathan Pierson."
For a moment, there was nothing but silence between Penny and Finn at the mention of that cursed name. Penny even held her breath momentarily, looking at him and then at his shoulder.
"He shot you?" she asked, and he shrugged.
"While I was heading home. To be exact, while I was walking from my car to my front door," he clarified, just to let her know how fearless the man was. "He could’ve killed me, but that isn’t the point."
Finn raised his brows, giving her a meaningful look. He didn’t need to spell out the explanation because he was certain that Penny was smart enough to put the pieces together.
It was a warning—or rather, a part of Jonathan’s wicked game.
He wanted Finn to cower in fear, to never sleep with one eye closed, and to always be alert. However, Penny was certain that wasn’t happening since Finn didn’t look worried at all. If he hadn’t shown her his bandage, she wouldn’t have even known he was hiding a wound beneath his lavish suit.
"I see..." Penny nodded in understanding, breathing out heavily. "That sucks."
"He goes by the name Jonathan Russel," said Finn. "He approached Cassandra. Poor Cassandra doesn’t know just how sick that guy’s mind is."
Penny still hesitated; hence, she kept quiet while she contemplated.
