Chapter 923: Bring it on
"You know what I find very interesting throughout this reunion? It’s your brother’s relationship with Zoren Pierson. You should watch your Second Brother, especially. You thought he was dead, but no, he wasn’t. Otherwise, Zoren Pierson and Finn Davis wouldn’t have a hole in their heads."
The corner of Jonathan’s mouth curled into a sinister smirk, his eyes glinting malevolently as they shifted to Penny’s side profile. Drawing his head back a little, he casually slipped his hand into his pockets.
"See you around, Penelope," he drawled, gazing down at her before stepping to the side to walk past her.
Meanwhile, Penny cast her eyes to the floor, her brows raising slowly.
The drunken and sober Penny wasn’t all that different. They were the same person, living in entirely different lifetimes. Their train of thought was the same, with just a bit more craziness when she was drunk.
"You want to see something more interesting?" she whispered, causing Jonathan to slow his steps. But before he could look, she slid her foot in front of his, kicking it back. When he lost his balance, she grabbed his arm and, in one swift move, carried his weight over her shoulder and slammed him to the floor.
THUD!
Everything happened so fast that before Jonathan realized it, his back had already hit the floor. The sound his body made was loud and painful. However, his shock overtook everything else as he found himself staring at the high ceiling of the gymnasium.
Even the crowd was clueless until they heard the loud thud, as if someone had fallen violently. When they turned and moved aside, what met their eyes was Penny, placing a foot on Jonathan’s chest as she slowly squatted down.
"Hey," she called, gazing down at him without blinking. "Surprise?"
