Chapter 97: No Saving Grace

Kelvin's eyes narrowed. "Butler!"

"Mr. Davis," the butlerrushed in, drenched in sweat, "It's bad. Mrs. Davis is bleeding heavily. She's been rushed to emergency care!"

"She's bleeding too?"

"Yes, she was conscious in the ambulance, murmuring about the child, but she passed out upon arrival at the hospital," the butler sighed heavily.

The director's heart skipped a beat, then he felt a twisted sense of joy.

Fiona had played her cards well, cleverly miscarrying and now Penelope's child was at risk too. Perfect.

Yet he masked his elation, feigning indignation, "She deserves this! It's instant karma... She tried to harm Fiona's unborn child and look where it got her!"

The butler interjected, "Director, we shouldn't jump to conclusions. It's not appropriate to say that now."

"What's appropriate or not? Mr. Davis himself said Penelope caused Fiona's miscarriage!"

"Mr. Davis, this..."

Kelvin was already striding toward the adjacent OR, determined to confront Penelope.
