At that moment, Penelope's smile was a delicate dance of persuasion and anticipation painted across her face like a watercolor masterpiece. She knew Ivy wouldn't be difficult to convince. Her eyes, gleaming with excitement, locked onto Ivy's, searching for the slightest hint of agreement in Ivy's face. It seems both of them are on the same page. Children don't have emotions; they can easily forgive someone not like adults. However, beneath the surface, there was a flicker of calculation, a subtle shift in her demeanor as she leaned in closer, her expression morphing into ivy If she succeeds in changing her mind and she accepts to do it, what if she wasn't able to convince Hazel and Marcus? Penelope was lost in thought; however, she knew that can't help her; now she needs to first get Ivy to her side.With a voice soothing as a gentle breeze, Penelope spoke, each word carrying the weight of her clear intentions; she wanted Ivy to understand every bit of them. “Do you want Wesley to s
Penelope recoiled as if she was struck by a car, her face contorted with disbelief; she couldn't believe Ivy would say such words to her when she asked her to forgive Wesley, But now she had started attacking her. However, Penelope decided to correct Ivy so she wouldn't allow her to accuse her wrongly. She needs to defend herself against Ivy's damning words.“Ivy, why would you say such words towards your grandmother? Don't you know you just insulted me?” However, Ivy pressed on, her accusations relentless.“You think I don't know?” Ivy continued, her voice rising with each word. “I've seen it in your eyes, in the way you smile when you think no one is watching. You're wicked, and you've been lying to me; you think I wouldn't know about it.”Penelope's shock gave way to a desperate attempt to salvage the situation. She needs to deny Ivy's accusations and restore her own tarnished reputation. A little child can't read her correctly this easily. Could it be she knows she was lying
David's cheeks raised, almost covering his eyes as he saw the devastating look on Penelope's face. What Ivy said to her truly hit her, and she is having a rethink about her behavior recently, which is good. Ivy deserves something for saying the truth to her.However, David decided to walk away and allow Penelope to think about herself.Penelope at that moment shook her head again. She was disappointed in herself just because of the money. She forgot about everything Wesley did to Hazel and Ivy; he almost destroyed their lives, and she was busy looking down on that. She couldn't believe she had come back here again after she made her decision to allow Wesley to pay for his crimes. But she came back here, but this time it might cost her something if Ivy tell her mother she might take action, and she wouldn't blame her. Her grandmother is too selfish.She brought her phone out immediately, wanting to call Lady Charlotte. She can't do it anymore.*Kane's expression shifted abruptly, disb
Kane's expression contorted in shock and disbelief as the words tumbled from his mother's lips. He struggled to comprehend the enormity of what she had just revealed, that she had been aware of Hazel's affair all along, and she did nothing to contain her. The realization hit him like a sledgehammer, shattering his illusions and leaving him angry at her mother, whom he was disappointed in for keeping quiet about all of this because of the contract she managed to get.“Mother, how could you?” Kane's voice trembled with a mixture of anger and betrayal as he confronted Lady Charlotte, his eyes blazing with accusation. “You knew about Hazel's affair, and yet you chose to remain silent? You allowed her to manipulate us, thinking she got the contract herself, and you gave her some of the company shares because of that. You allowed her to use her illicit relationship against us. How could you stand by and watch as she played us for fools? Now look at what it has landed us.”Lady Charlotte,
In an instant, tension gripped the room as everyone's faces shifted in reaction to Lady Charlotte's words. Kane's expression turned bitter, a mix of frustration and resignation evident in his features; he couldn't believe the good-for-nothing clown was calling.“Mother, answer the call; let's hear what the useless clown was going to say.”Lady Charlotte was curious at that moment; she didn't know if Penelope had good news for her, and with the way everything was going, it better be good news. Her hope hanging by a thread, she immediately took the call, her heart racing with anticipation. She prayed fervently that Penelope would bring good news and a glimmer of hope in their dire situation; if not, she was going to see the other side of her.“Hello, Penelope”Lady Charlotte spoke, her voice strained with anticipation.“Let me assume you have something good to say.”But Penelope shook her head on the other end of the line. She didn't have what Lady Charlotte was hoping to hear, but ins
Kane's face twisted in a mixture of anger and venom as he spat out his angry words into the phone. His eyes blazed with fury, his eyebrows furrowed in a deep scowl, and his lips curled into a snarl. His voice was laced with bitterness and hatred, sending chills down the spine of Lady Charlotte, who was still shocked at how Kane took the phone from her. The look on his face tells her he was angry, and she understood he should know if she knew what to do to get Wesley out; she would have done it already, but she didn't, and it hurt her to the bone.Kane's voice was filled with bitterness as he spoke.“Listen to me and listen well. You and your useless daughter are going to pay for everything both of you did. You're going to pay.”He growled, his words dripping with malice. “You think I don't know what you're planning? Do you think I don't know what both of you are planning? I know all of it, and you'll pay dearly for it. Just wait for me.”Penelope, however, had reached her breaking p
Lady Charlotte took her time to explain to Kane she knew how stubborn he would be sometimes.But Kane was shocked to the bone. He couldn't believe what her mother just said: Hazel was innocent. How is that even possible when she didn't forgive Wesley and made him go to prison, yet her mother is covering for her just because of Sam's yellow company? He wouldn't ever allow that to happen.Kane said it bitterly.“Mother, Hazel isn't innocent. Do you think she's innocent? She's part of this family because of the Sam Yellow Company contract, but let me say this: When the time is right, she is going to do to us what she did to Wesley, and by that time it will be too late for me. I must take action now before she grows more Wing.”Lady Charlotte responded angrily.“No, Kane, listen to me and listen clearly; don't make the same mistakes Wesley did. Hazel has nothing to do with this; her husband is the one you should be after not Hazel, she is innocent. Let her go, and deal with the rest of th
The color drained from Kane's face as his mother's words crashed into him like a thunderbolt. He blinked his eyes multiple times. Never in his wildest dreams had he thought he would hear his own mother threaten to disown him. He couldn't believe it; the word was still echoing in his ears. How can his mother threaten him all because he insisted on dealing with Hazel, that good-for-nothing girl who has successfully manipulated everyone, including his mother? He couldn't believe how the situation had escalated to the point that she would cut him off from the family. The heir to the family, she wants to cut ties with him. That is not possible. Could it be that he made a mistake and didn't hear her correctly? That must be the case.He turned to look at his mother, his face contorting in disbelief and anger. The steely resolve in Lady Charlotte's eyes confirmed that she meant every word she had just uttered, and it made Kane's entire body vibrate.Beads of sweat formed on Kane's forehead,
