Chapter 12: Three Strikes Even Audrey is better than Fiona! Is he blind? Or has he been enchanted, somehow?? "Penelope, you shallall apologize to me!" Fiona said, "And imitate the sound of a dog barking dog three times!" With a determined tone, Penelope repliedshe, said, "It's impossible." She could tolerate the apology, but imitating a dog's bark was absolutely out of the question.
Fiona immediately shook Kelvin's arm complaining, "Look, look! She doesn't want to..." "Penelope, you have one more chance to answer," he said, looking down at her with a piercing gaze, "Is it easier to imitate a dog's bark or to endure three strikes?" "I'd rather endure the strikes." Penelope said defiantly He coldly snorted, "Fine! Bring the whip!" Jeff brought the whip forward, but before he could hand it over, Penelope let out a sigh in her heart.
But Penelope forced a bitter smile and said, "No matter what, I am still your nominal wife. Kelvin, who is this Fiona that you would humiliatelike this for her?" "She is the person I have gone to great lengths to find, and she is the future Mrs. Davis of my life and my choice, . Do you understand?" he replied coldly, "How dare you compare yourself to her?" It turned out that the person he loved was Fiona.
Penelope was somewhat surprised, but she had to accept this reality.
Closing her eyes, Penelope stopped talking and silently waited for the whip to cdown.
Three lashes. as, painful as they may be. she would endure and move on.
Looking at her pale but determined face, Kelvin tightened his grip on the whip in his hand. The veins on thehis back of his hands werewas visible, as he squeezed the whip tighter.
To Penelope's surprise theThe expected pain neverdid not cto her backland on. her.
Penelope opened her eyes only to find and only saw Kelvin walking away.
"I won't dirty my hands by beating you," he dropped the whip and said, "Jeff, take over for me!" "Yes, Mr. Davis." Was Jeff's obedient answer.
Fiona felt a sense of resentment, but seeing Kelvin's terrible expression, she decided not to say anything further. She still had ssense and perception.
"Mr. Davis, you said you would marry me, didn't you?" she deliberately asked with a touch of grievance, "Why is Penelope your wife?" "She is just a substitute." He answered with a touch of irritation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What does that mean?" Fiona pushed further.
Kelvin grew impatient, but when he recalled that Fiona was the woman from that night, he didn't lose his temper. "Marrying Penelope was only temporary. At that time, I couldn't find you, and I needed someone to fill the position of Mrs. Davis, so I chose her." Fiona nodded, thinking to herself, so that's what happened.how it is.
She got scared, thinking that she had been exposed right after replacing Penelope.herself.
She asked again, "You will still fulfill your promise to marry me, right?" "Yes. I will handle everything and marry you in due time." Was the short reply.
"I look forward to that day!" Fiona felt she could relax again.
Meanwhile, Penelope looked at the thick whip and said, "Jeff, go ahead." "Mrs. Davis..." Jeff was hesitant.
"I know you're also in a difficult position." Penelope said reassuringly.
After glancing at the staircase to confirm that Kelvin had gone far away, Jeff hardened his heart, lifted the whip, and struck down with force.
"Snap!" The loud sound resonated in The King Manor.
Kelvin elegantly enjoyed his breakfast, not batting an eyelid at the harsh sound.
Fiona listened to the sound and felt a sense of relief.

The other servants trembled, focusing on their own tasks.
As for And Penelope, the person in question, she stared looked at Jeff in surprise and said, "You..." not knowing how to react to his actions, or in this case his lack thereof.
Jeff had missed her with both strikes, hitting the ground instead.
"Shh, Mrs. Davis, don't make a scene, in case we're discovered," Jeff said, "You're a good person." "For us servants, you arehe is always kind and considerate. I really can't bring myself to harm youhim." "If Kelvin finds out, we're done for!" Penelope said.
"I know. SoSo, for the final blow, I'll have to ask Mrs. Davis to endure it." Penelope understood his meaning and nodded.
If there were no scars on her body, it would seem too fake.
She braced herself for this blow, feeling the burning pain on her back as her skin broke and bled.
Penelope looked at Jeff gratefully, knowing that no matter how bad the world treated her, there was always a touch of warmth and compassion.
"Mr. Davis, the three lashes have been carried out," Jeff reported as he cdownstairs.
He responded with a muted "hm." Penelope stood slightly hunched over next to him, her wounds throbbing even more from the strain on her body.
She thought to herself that it was fortunate it was only one lash and shouldn't affect her part-tjob.
"Mr. Davis, I have something... that I'd like to ask for your help with," Fiona suddenly spoke in a coquettish tone, "May I make a request?" "Go on." Kelvin indulged.
"I've heard that the Davis family is preparing to enter the entertainment industry, is that correct?" Kelvin nodded, "The Davis family is preparing to enter the entertainment industry."
and "In that case, can you helpsecure sresources?" Fiona said, "I've been applying and interviewing for rotes in various productions, but they're so picky and demanding. It would be much easier if I had your help!" "You want to enter the entertainment industry?" Kelvin repeated, somewhat surprised but he hid it well..

Happy reading! Kelvin agreed, "Sure." This was his way of compensating her.
Perhaps, Fiona who worked hard and was earnest, would reveal another side of herself that would make him remember the feelings he had for her that night.
Kelvin glanced at Penelope, "You, continue doing odd jobs at the company." "Understood." Was the reply from Penelope.
The differences between people wereis truly vast especially when fate intervened. Penelope worked m tirelessly, earning a few dozen dollars from her part-tjob. Fiona easily obtained resources in the entertainment industry... Oh, how stars make so much money! Especially with Kelvin's support, he would pamper her!
Once Kelvin left, Fiona put away her sweet smile and returned to her true self. "Don't want to learn how to bark like a dog, huh? It's okay," she said, "Sooner or later, I'll make you kneel beforeand beg." Penelope couldn't be bothered to look at her, she had to walk to the Davis company. If she was late, Kelvin would explode with anger again.
"You dare to ignore me, hehe, Penelope, stop!" Fiona blocked her path, "I advise you to be sensible and tell Mr. Davis to divorce you earlier!" "Whether we divorce or not, it's not up to me." Penelope's reply cindifferently.
"Tsk, you just want to hold onto the position of Mrs. Davis's position and can't bear to leave." Penelope chuckled softly, "If you have the ability, make Kelvin divorcenow. What's the point of confrontinghere?" "You... fine, fine," Fiona gritted her teeth, "You will soon cbegging to me!" Her eyes began to fill were filled with malice.
Penelope didn't have tto consider what she might do, offending Fiona didn't matter, offending Kelvin was deadly.
Besides, she didn't think Fiona could cause much trouble.
Penelope continued walking towards the Davis and working part-time.
Today's earnings were relatively low, but she still made twenty dollars.
Just as she put the money in her pocket and turned around, she saw a familiar figure on the side of the road, which made her feel even more ashamed than seeing Kelvin.
Penelope ran away.
"Penelope, I followed you all the way." Chapter 13: Do not provoke Fiona
