Chapter 551 Madison and I Never Had a Relationship "After giving him the antidote, will he letgo?" Isabella asked. "No way! He'll just make my life even worse! I know exactly what kind of person Kelvin is and the nasty tricks he uses!" There were tons of stories floating around LA about how ruthless Kelvin was.
Isabella had heard plenty! Each one gave her the creeps! "I'll do everything I can to protect you," Brandon said. "That's a promise. Isabella, turn back now; stop doing bad things." "Can you really savefrom Kelvin? Are you sure?" Isabella asked.
Isabella wasn't dumb.
Why would Kelvin listen to Brandon? Brandon didn't have that kind of pull! "I'm not sure," Brandon admitted. "But if I ask Penelope, and she pleads with Kelvin, we might have a shot." Penelope owed Brandon a favor.
And Kelvin wouldn't say no to Penelope.
Isabella laughed, "But Lucy is also Penelope's daughter, and she hatesjust as much." "You really don't need to worry about that. As long as you stop, wake Lucy up, cut ties with Madison, admit your mistakes, and genuinely repent, your future can still be bright!" Isabella raised her hand and wiped the wound on her forehead.
She knew how pathetic she looked right now, and Brandon could see it too.
But it didn't matter anymore.
"I'm not that stupid or naive to give up just because of a few words." Isabella stood up. "Twelve hours, right? Fine, I'll wait. I'll wait for the poison to kick in! Since Kelvin poisoned me, I might as well feel it firsthand to do him justice!" Her fáce twisted with hatred; she was so consumed by her own vengeance that she didn't even care about Brandon anymore.
Watching her walk upstairs, Brandon said, "Twelve hours is the tfor you to think. Callanytonce you've made up your mind." Isabella seemed not to hear and kept walking.
She was now like a walking corpse.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrandon sighed and turned to leave.
As he walked out of the Mitchell family estate, he saw Kelvin's car speed by the gate. The car was flying. Brandon thought Isabella had acted and got caught red-handed. With all the evidence and witnesses, she couldn't deny it and had already confessed.
It seemed like everything was wrapping up.
But he also felt like this was just the beginning! On the way back to the King Manor, Kelvin and Penelope were both very quiet. Neither of them spoke.
Penelope kept staring out the window, her mind racing with a million thoughts.
A lot had happened in the past few days, and she had endured it all, almost making it through.
But suddenly, reality hit her like a ton of bricks.
What she saw wasn't real.
What she heard wasn't real either.
Penelope was almost unable to tell the difference between truth and lies! She thought Kelvin had changed, but he never did.
She thought their loveless marriage was over, but the love had always been there.
"We're home." The car stopped, and Kelvin finally broke the silence.
Penelope asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" "You heard everything," Kelvin said.
"But I want to hear it straight from you," Penelope said.
Kelvin turned to look at her, "Penelope, what do you want to hear?" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Penelope took a deep breath, "You treated Madison so well just to deceive her and Isabella?" "Yeah," Kelvin said.
"Why didn't you go straight after Isabella?" Penelope asked.
"Because she was hiding too well at first. I had no clue she was the one causing all the trouble. I had to start with Madison and dig bit by bit. Once I got everything I needed from Madison, I kicked her out," Kelvin explained.
After a pause, he added, "Plus, Lucy only recognizes her. If she doesn't see her so-called mommy for a long time, Lucy will be sad." It was the only plan that made sense given the situation.
If there had been a better way, Kelvin wouldn't have gotten close to Madison! Penelope's fingers kept twisting.
There was one more thing she really wanted to ask, but she couldn't bring herself to do it she was scared of the answer.
Just as Penelope was about to twist her fingers into a knot, Kelvin's hand reached over and covered hers. "Penelope, I know the one thing you care about the most, you can't bring yourself to ask." His fingertips brushed her skin, "Nothing happened between Madison and me, nothing at all, Penelope." Penelope suddenly looked up at him.
Really? He wasn't lying to her? But Penelope clearly heard noises coming from the main bedroom at night, heard Madison's voice! The other servants at the King Manor heard it, too! Kelvin looked into her eyes, "Really. Penelope, I never lie to you." "You've lied toso many times, and you still have the nerve to say you never lie to me?" Penelope said.
He sighed softly, "This time, I had no choice. But Penelope, I promise, I didn't lay a finger on her." Penelope's finger stopped Kelvin's lips.
She didn't want to hear those cursed words from him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe glared at him angrily, "Then why were there noises?" "You're a good listener!" Kelvin said.
"Kelvin!" Penelope snapped.
"Alright, I'm not teasing you." Kelvin held her fingers, "What you heard was real, but the person in the main bedroom was another man." Penelope instantly understood. "So, it wasn't you at all?" "Right," Kelvin answered, "In any case, I would never touch her!" As soon as he finished speaking, Penelope quickly withdrew her hand.
"Nothing means nothing," she said.
"What does it have to do with me? Should praise you, Mr. Davis, for your brilliant strategy?"
&m "And Kelvin, you're so noble." Penelope bit her lip. "Enduring humiliation, bearing everyone's N misunderstanding, and facing my doubts, you managed to stay calm.
How should I praise you?" Kelvin looked at his empty palm and sighed, "Penelope, you're still mad at me."
He lowered his head, his thin lips pressed into a straight line slowly curling his anders into a loose fist. He looked like he had suffered a great grievance! Making Penelope feel like she was being too harsh? Too rude? Too sarcastic? After all, Kelvin did all this for their daughter Lucy.
He made sacrifices, scheming, and enduring misunderstandings. He was also very tired and needed understanding and love.
Yes, men needed to be loved too-understood, tolerated, and cared for. They were vulnerable as well.
Penelope softened again.
But thinking about it, she felt she was also wronged! "Yes, I'm mad." Penelope looked straight at him. "Kelvin, you're aggrieved, but I'm even more aggrieved!"
