Chapter 188 Anthony Davis Comes Back Before Penelope could respond, Kelvin was already making plans, "There's a beach nearby. We can hit the sands. Can you surf or Scuba dive? No, you'd probably be better off just soaking up ssun..." Kelvin was a man of action who followed through on his words.
In the next few days, he took Penelope on a whirlwind of sightseeing and fun.
He played the role of an emperor who had lost interest in his empire.
Timothy, from the company, called numerous times a day, "Kelvin, now that you've found your bride, can you snap back to reality and chome? I can't be carrying the company all on my own! "You're the president of the Davis Group. Remember your role. Thousands of employees are waiting for you to take the reins again! "Hey, hey, Penelope, talk ssense into him; what's so great about the States? Cback sooner..." Annoyed, Kelvin just blocked Timothy's number.
Although Penelope hadn't found a way to live in harmony with Kelvin, these days, her spirits had certainly lifted.
Vacations have that effect.
If it weren't for Penelope urging a return, Kelvin would have gladly extended their stay.
He had no qualms about overstaying his welcome, but she felt awkward; Timothy had already been sending her endless discreet messages.
And let's face it, Kelvin was still recovering and unable to use his left hand! On the private jet, Penelope was exhausted and fell asleep the moment she boarded the plane.
Kelvin sat beside her, taking the initiative to cushion her head on his arm.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe relished the sensation of her filling his embrace.
After a marathon flight of more than ten hours, they finally touched down in LA.
Penelope knew she'd be back because this departure wasn't of her own free will, and she was utterly unprepared.
But she hadn't anticipated it would be this swift.
That Kelvin would act so quickly.
Just as they were about to exit the airport, Penelope heard a voice so familiar it stopped her in her tracks, "Penelope..." There, not too far away, stood Nathan, gazing in her direction.
Standing next to Nathan, nearly equal in height, was a man exuding confidence, adorned in high-end brands, exuding opulence from every inch of his being. "Nathan?" Penelope gasped.
What was he doing here? Had he just returned to LA, too? Then, the man standing next to him must be...
Lily's son, Anthony, is from the Davis family! Anthony! This was Penelope's first encounter with Anthony.
At first glance, he appeared to be the typical spoiled rich kid, a second-generation heir accustomed to a life of indulgence and only mildly clever.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into him right at the airport upon her return.
Kelvin paused, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly.
Whether it was Nathan or Anthony, none were the faces he wished to see right now.
"Big bro!" Anthony was the first to approach, beaming, "What a coincidence, just landed too!" Assessing Penelope, he said, "This must be my sister-in-law, right? I've heard so much about you and finally got to meet you today." He reached out enthusiastically, a keen glint in his eye.
Penelope had no good impressions of Anthony; how could she possibly shake his hand? Kelvin stepped forward, his expression indifferent and unpleased, "Why are you back?"

"I graduated, big bro," Anthony replied, "I can't stay abroad forever, right? Grandpa and Mom are in LA; I ought to stick around and show my filial piety." Kelvin let out a scornful chuckle, "Lily sent for you in a hurry, didn't she?" He saw right through their little schemes.
Back at the family estate, due to the situation with Penelope, he and Grandpa had almost cut ties; surely, Lily was watching the , promptly informing Anthony to return, ready to exploit the tension between him and Grandpa.
Anthony replied with a chuckle, "Mom wantedback. It's only natural, right? Or does my big brother really expectto drift around abroad forever?" Kelvin cocked his head up slightly, his tone dripping with sarcasm and disdain, "You'll find out soon enough that coming back is worse than drifting out there." Then, his gaze shifted towards Nathan. When did Nathan and Anthony start running in the scircles? "You two seem pretty tight," Kelvin raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, Mr. Smith and I met overseas. We hit it off right away and had great conversations. I'm sure you know him, so no introductions needed," Anthony said.
Kelvin gave them both a cool once-over before taking Penelope's hand and leaving.
Before they departed, Penelope looked back at Nathan.
Nathan seemed much more composed and mature after stapart, his eyes telling a multitude of stories as he stood next to Anthony.
Nathan returned Penelope's look with a firm nod.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBack in LA, certain things were about to unfold.
Nathan had remembered the promise he made to Penelope.
"Ha, acting all high and mighty, looking down on people through his nostrils," Anthony snorted. "Nathan, that's my half-brother for you. He thinks he's an emperor and completely ignores my existence!"
Nathan smiled pacifyingly, "You're Anthony Davis; your place is secured. t like Even if he doesn't like you, he can't do anything about it."
"Exactly!" Anthony boasted proudly. Plus, I've got Mom and Grandpa looking out for me. No matter how have much Kelvin desplsestill my share in the Davis legacy!" Nathan urged, "Let's be happy. Con, let's find a place to really have sfun." Anthony nodded, "Sounds good. You are familiar with LA; you're the host, so showa good time." Nathan offered, "Absolutely, today's expenses are on me." Anthony was quite pleased.
He had done his homework on Nathan's background, an heir to the Smith family with an impressive education and decent skills - a worthwhile friend to have for expanding his network.
With Nathan being a genuine blue-blood, Lily couldn't accuse him of hanging out with the wrong crowd anymore. This thome, Anthony was gearing up for a big score! The Davis Group.
After a week's absence, Kelvin finally returned to the office, providing a sense of relief and stability to everyone. Dressed in a suit, tall and commanding, with an exceptional aura, he was still the formidable CEO of the Davis empire.
Kelvin's hands hung naturally by his sides, betraying no sign to the casual observer that his left hand had suffered a severe injury, one that had nearly left it disabled.
"You're finally back," Timothy burst into the office, overwhelmed. "I've been swamped.
I need a vacation, too!" "Not going to happen just yet," cthe sober reply.
Timothy bristled, "Why?" Kelvin glanced up, "Anthony's back." "Your stepbrother? Graduated?" Timothy asked, a note of concern in his voice. "That's... tricky." Anthony was Lily's son, a part of the Davis clan.
The day before Mr. Davis Sr.'s tragic car accident, Mr. Davis Sr. had discussed with
Kelvin the idea of giving Anthony half the shares. Grandpa Dayis also m wanted Anthony to be involved in the Davis Group operations.
