Chapter 3: Homecoming

Ever since his father passed away, Lily used the excuse of taking care of him to bring various dishes to The King Manor every day. If he didn't touch them, Lily would incessantly nag and talk about how his father, Mr. Davis used to love drinking them.

Kelvin, annoyed by her, would take a few sips just to appease her. Little did he know... that Lily's intentions were so malicious.

She wanted to use this method to ensure that, even if he had numerous women, he would never be able to father a child, ending the Davis family's lineage. Suddenly, urgent footsteps could be heard outside. Jeff knocked on the door forcefully,

"Mr. Davis! Something's wrong!" Kelvin's expression turned icy, "What's the matter? Speak!" "Mrs. Davis... she's gone!"

The bathroom was neat and tidy, the water in the bathtub undisturbed. Only the ventilating window was open, big enough for a person to slip through.

Penelope had escaped through the window! She was incredibly bold! Kelvin's face darkened, "A bunch of useless people, unable to even keep an eye on a woman!"

"Mr. Davis, Mrs. Davis' phone is still here... There's a voicemail." Kelvin opened it, and a crisp female voice rang out,

"Kelvin, after two years of atonement, we no longer owe each other anything. We shall never meet again!"

Chapter 3 Homecoming

"Bang!" Kelvin smashed his phone, his eyes filled with rage. "Go after her immediately! She couldn't ofan't run far!"

That night, The King Manor was brightly lit, with vehicles and people coming and going.

Penelope hid in the dirty and smelly sewer, barely escaping the pursuit of Kelvin's men. Taking advantage of the chaos, she ran down the mountain and headed straight to the prison, where she saw Mr. Cooper.

"Dad..."

"Penelope! You're alive!" Mr. Cooper was extremely excited, tears streaming down his face. "I thought you..." he stopped himself.

"Dad, I came here specifically to ask you about Mr. Davis's death. What really happened?" Penelope pleaded looking for any form of explanation.

"I don't know either. The medicine I used was definitely correct! Penelope, do you believe me?"

"I do." Penelope bit her lip and nodded.

So, dad was innocent, she thought..

She owed Kelvin nothing, and there was no need for her to redeem any sins!

"We have been framed, but the situation is already set. We can't change it..." Mr.

Cooper sighed deeply. "Penelope, you must protect yourself."

Penelope held the phone tightly and stared firmly at Mr. Cooper on the other side of the glass. "Dad, I will definitely find evidence toand clear your name."

After leaving the prison, Penelope went to the hospital to visit her mother.

Before she had even reached the hospital entrance, she saw three or four black-clad bodyguards!

Penelope immediately hid.

Kelvin had anticipated that she would come to the hospital, so he had arranged people there early.

Once caught and taken back, she would face a hellish and painful torture!

As Penelope contemplated how to evade the bodyguards, the huge electronic screen across from her suddenly flashed and switched to LA Financial News.
