Chapter 15: Your Father Should have died Long Ago Penelope ran out of the company and flagged down a taxi.
She took out all the money she had on her and handed it to the driver: "This is all I have, please taketo LA Prison..." The driver, seeing her desperation, agreed.
When Penelope arrived, Mr. Cooper was lying on a stretcher.
His arms and legs were covered in burn marks.
He half-opened his eyes and kept crying out in pain.
"Dad!" Penelope rushed over.
"Dad, look at me, I'm Penelope... What happened? Why did my dad get burned so badly?" The prison guard answered, "He did it himself, it's not our problem." "What about the surveillance? I want to see the whole incident!" Penelope pushed for answers.
"You can't just watch the surveillance here." The Guard said.
Penelope gritted her teeth, "You... you are going too far!" "Penelope, it hurts, it hurts..." Mr. Cooper unconsciously pleaded. "Help, scratch it for Dad..." He tried to scratch the burn blisters, but Penelope grabbed his hand. "Dad, endure it for now, I will take you to the hospital." "No, he's a prisoner, he needs approval to leave." The guard shouted at Penelope.
"So, should I just watch my dad die?" Penelope asked sarcastically.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe prison guard replied, "Actually, you only have yourselves to blame. Ever since your dad cin, he's been through a lot." A nflashed through Penelope's mind-- Kelvin! It was him! Hasn't he tormented her enough?! He even targeted Mr. Cooper, who was serving his sentence! "I want to see Kelvin, Kelvin; I'm going to find him now..." Penelope wiped away a tear and made a move to get up.
Just as she stood up, Fiona walked in, looking smug.
She sneered, "Penelope, don't waste your energy. Kelvin dislikes you so much, he only wants to see you suffer!" "It's you?" Penelope started to piece together what must have transpired.
"I was bored, so I cto see your dad." Fiona replied, "Before I knew itWho knew he accidentally knocked over the kettle and got burned like this." "It's impossible! You did it!" Penelope accused.
Fiona smugly shrugged, "Do you have any evidence?" Penelope tightly clenched her fists, staring at Fiona, her eyes almost shooting fire.
"You want to hitso badly," Fiona taunted. "Con then, if Mr. Davis hadn't of stopped you the last time, you would have slapped me. He's not here today, so you can hitall you want." She calculated that Penelope wouldn't dare touch her and deliberately provoked her! "That's even better, you can pour boiling water onas well. An eye for an eye. Penelope, con, don't just stand there!" Fiona's smug face kept flashing in front of Penelope's eyes.
"You can cat me," Penelope took a deep breath. "The one who provoked you is me, not my dad." "It's my dad," Fiona said.
Fiona walked up to her and said, "Do you think I have the ability to go to prison and cause trouble on my own, and still have everyone help me?" "So..." "Exactly," Fiona said. "It was Mr. Davis who instructedto do this. After all, you cfrom a lowly background, and your dad should have died a long tago! Mr. Davis keeps him around just to take out his frustrations on him from tto time!" The taste of blood filledblood-filled Penelope's mouth, and her throat was filled with a salty sweetness.
Kelvin actually approved of it...
He was so heartless! "Why, why?!" Her eyes turned red, and she bit her lip. "What exactly do you wantto do in order to send my dad to the hospital for treatment?" "Didn't you say you would rather endure a whipping than learn how to bark like a dog?" Penelope understood.
At this moment, her dignity was useless in the face of her loved one's safety.
Fiona raised her chin arrogantly and said, "Let's get started, or else... I might change my mind later." Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on nov L5sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

He tried to stop them, "No, Penelope, don't... It doesn't hurt..." Penelope tightly held back her tears. She lowered her head obediently and did as she was told.
Their voices echoed in the small house.
With each call, it felt as if a knife was cutting into her flesh! "Not bad," Fiona nodded. "Remember, Penelope, be more respectful toin the future. I am the future Mrs. Davis!" She asked numbly, "Can we send my dad to the hospital now?" "Call a doctor, give him smedicine, and he'll be fine. Is he worth going to the hospital for? Besides, do you have money?" Seeing Penelope's painful and sad expression, Fiona felt thoroughly satisfied! Just the thought of her sleeping with Mr. Davis made Fiona extremely jealous. Luckily, her father had been clever enough to push her forward toand take Penelope'sher place, leading to her current prosperity and wealth.
So, Fiona would do her best now to make sure Penelope had no chance to turn the tables! Now that Mr. Davis was treating her so well, even if he found out that she was the one responsible for what happened today, he wouldn't blher! Fiona intentionally bumped Penelope's shoulder and walked away in high heels.
Penelope slowly squatted down and said, "Dad." "Penelope, you arel'm... suffering... daughter..." "I'm not suffering, Dad." She tightly held Mr. Cooper's hand, resisting the tears that were about to well up in her eyes. "As long as you and Mom are here, I have the strength to keep going!" It was already dark when Penelope left the prison.
The King Manor was quite far from here, and it took Penelope two hours to get home.
As soon as she entered the living room, Kelvin's sharp gaze fell on her.
She shrank back, but she felt more numbness than anything else.
He was a true devil, dragging her into hell, where life was worse than death! "Where did you go?" Kelvin sternly asked.
Penelope knew that she should be obedient and submissive at this moment, as it would be the best strategy.

But she felt uneasy in her heart and responded with a cold sneer, "Where do you think I went? Aren't you the one who knows best?" Kelvin frowned, "Do you think you're worth having someone tracking you for twenty-four hours?" "I won't need it tomorrow," Penelope said expressionlessly, "I'm tired, may I rest?" "Do you realize the tone you're using to speak to me?" Kelvin showed his irritation.
In an instant, her tears and grievances were about to overpower her rationality and she was on the verge of angrily scolding Kelvin! Who was he to make her suffer so much and demand her respect?! But she couldn't.
The temporary release would only result in a more terrifying punishment from Kelvin.
Penelope suddenly envied Fiona, why was she able to receive Kelvin's favor and deep love, while Penelope struggled just to survive! "Penelope, I've told you not to lie to me," Kelvin raised his hand and threw a picture at her, "Yet you still broke the rules!" The pictures scattered all over the floor.
It was an image of her standing at the entrance of the scrap yard, where she had encountered Nathan.
The most striking one was of Nathan's hand gripping her shoulder.
The pictures were slightly wrinkled, showing that they had been forcefully squeezed for a long time.
"I already explained everything aboutand him today," Penelope tried her best to control her emotions, "There was no hiding." "But you've clearly met before today!" Kelvin made his anger known.
"It was a coincidence." Kelvin coldly questioned, "Then why didn't you say anything?" "I forgot. And there was nothing worth mentioning." She was even more afraid for Kelvin to find out about her part-tjob, otherwise, her only source of incwould be lost.
Suddenly, he stood up, dragged her into the bathroom, and forcefully pushed her against the wall.
Immediately after, Kelvin turned on the cold water from the showerhead and drenched Penelope with it! Chapter 16: Kelvin, Can You GiveSMoney?
