Chapter 52 Neither Penelope nor Her Mother Cared "To be honest, Mrs. Davis is a good person. She's always kind and never raises her voice at us. I've been by your side and have seen so many people. Mrs. Davis is truly a kind-hearted person." The butler said.
Kelvin glanced at the butler and said, "Mind your own business." Only then did the butler fall silent and quietly took out fifty thousand dollars. It was the fifty thousand dollars Penelope had painstakingly collected piece by piece yesterday.
Kelvin slammed the cutlery heavily on the table. The surrounding servants were frightened and dared not even breathe heavily.
"What does she mean?" Kelvin asked, "Huh?" The butler made a "zipping" motion with his mouth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Now you can speak!" "Mr. Davis, I don't know either. Mrs. Davis askedto give it to you." The butler replied, "The hospital called. Mrs. Cooper's condition is critical, and if she needs medication, it must be administrated as soon as possible. Delaying it by a day will result in a less effective treatment." Kelvin's face grew serious.
"Mrs. Cooper is now awake, and she has the doctors and her strong will to survive to thank. Mr. Davis, you cured her, so the last step is taking the medicine." "Butler." "Yes, Mr. Davis," Kelvin said faintly, "You always seem to help Penelope, intentionally or not." "I... just speak the truth." The butler responded.
The butler, with many years of experience, used to be a servant of the Davis family, following Mr. Davis Sr. around. After Mr. Davis Sr. passed away, he cto The King Manor to take care of the household affairs. One could say that he watched Kelvin grow up and could exchange a few words with him.
"What benefits does Penelope give you? Hmm?" Kelvin inquired.
"None...what could Mrs. Davis give me." Kelvin coldly snorted and looked at the bowl of hangover soup on the table, deliberately placed in the most visible position by the butler.
After a while, he spoke, "Tell the hospital to provide the medicine for this month first..." "Mr. Davis!" Fiona's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting his words.
She hurriedly walked in, looking concerned, "Has your hangover gone away? I was worried about you all night and couldn't sleep well." "Last night?" Kelvin asked her in confusion.
"Yes, I took care of you at the bar for a long time... Mr. Davis, did you forget?" He hummed, "I have no recollection of it." Fiona pouted, "You drank so much, I couldn't persuade you otherwise. Hangovers are definitely uncomfortable. Do you have a headache?" As she said that, she reached out to massage his temples. Kelvin moved to avoid her.
"Mrs. Wright, Mr. Foster was the one who brought Mr. Davis back last night," the butler spoke up from the side. Fiona glared at him. That butler was always siding against her! "I know, Mr. Foster said it was too late and didn't letcwith them," Fiona replied. "Mr. Davis, what medicine were you talking about just now? For whom?" "It's none of your concern." "Is it Penelope's mother? You mentioned her tolast night." Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on nov L5sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

Fiona hastily said, "Mr. Davis, you shouldn't have saved Penelope's mother. There's no point in saving someone like her!" "Do you even know what you're talking about?" She didn't even know Mrs. Cooper yet dared to pass such judgments. Kelvin grew even more disgusted.
Fiona was really far off from that night, or was it him who got too involved and let it slip? "I'm serious," Fiona replied, "If you save her, you're only harming yourself! Mr. Davis, please don't be softhearted!" Fiona's sharp tone gave Kelvin a headache. He coldly said, "Go outside." "You have to believe me; I... I have evidence! It can prove that Penelope and her mother are up to no good!" "Evidence?" Kelvin asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes." Fiona extended her hand. "Wait a minute," she said. "I have a recording!" She opened the recording, and the sound echoed throughout the dining room.
"I have Nathan; he is my boyfriend. He treatswell, and he covers all the expenses." It was Penelope speaking! Kelvin's previously calm demeanor turned stormy cloud in an instant! Nathan! It was Nathan again! Only in front of Mrs. Cooper did she dare to admit her feelings for Nathan! After a few seconds of silence, Mrs. Cooper's voice cthrough, "Penelope, I want to meet your father. Your father is a kind man."
"Mom," Penelope asked, "do you really think Dad caused Mr. Davis Sr.'s death?" Upon hearing this, Kelvin's pup beccontracted Everyone held their breath, awaiting the next part of the conversation. Everyone in King Manor knew that discussing Mr. Davis Sr.'s death was a forbidden topic for the Davis family, something that could not be brought up! "No! That's not true! Penelope, your father is innocent; he has been wrongly accused!" Mrs. Coopers voice could be heard saying.

The recording ended there. Fiona said, "That day, when I cout of the hospital, I saw Penelope getting into a car and out of curiosity I followed her. I never expected her to be going to see her mother. I was about to leave when I heard this conversation, so I recorded it."
Kelvin suddenly stood up and swept all the utensils off the table with his hand! The shattering sound reverberated in everyone's ears.m Fiona was also startled, but she felt mere relieved than frightened. This time, Penelope wouldn't get off easy. Thinking of saving her mother? Ha, dream on! She exposed her and her father's plan, protecting the illegitimate child in her belly. How could Fiona stand for this! "Mr. Davis, I didn't mean to..." "Get out!" Kelvin's eyes turned bloodshot as he pointed angrily towards the door, "Get out, all of you!" He resembled an enraged lion, no one could get near him. In the dining room it was only Kelvin that remained.
He even wanted Mrs. Cooper to take her medicine just a while ago. And what was the result? She and her daughter actually believed Dr. Cooper wasn't at fault! So, his father's death was in vain? That was a lie! Kelvin had always held his father in high esteem, forbidding from defaming or disparaging his name, especially not the Cooper family! If the Cooper family were responsible for his father's death, they must face the consequences and endure suffering in this world! Their guilt demanded retribution, and no medicine would absolve them.
Even in this dire situation, the Cooper family refused to acknowledge Dr. Cooper's responsibility. They had such audacity. It seems he must be the one to put an end to them!
The door closed behind them, and inside, the occasional clatter of objects being thrown in the dining room could be heard, prompting a weary sigh from the butter. Fiona, however, showed little sympathy, remarking, "Why are you feeling sorry for them? It's not like they're smashing your things. "Butler, letmake it clear to you," Fiona continued, "Penelope may be Mrs. Davis now, but she has no power whatsoever. You should recognize that I am the true future mistress of the Davis family!" The butler calmly replied, "You are still Mrs. Wright." Fiona retorted sharply, "You!" The butler maintained his composure and continued, "As long as Lily is here, it won't be your turn to be the mistress of the Davis family. She is the elder." Fiona snorted in response, "Well, I can't argue with you. But once I marry into this family, the first thing I'll do is dismiss you!"
