Chapter 109 The Desire to Witness the Wearing

"You have some audacity!" Kennedy's voice echoed with incredulity. "Have you lost all sense of rationality, involving yourself with such a hefty sum? Are you courting a life sentence?"

A fleeting moment of terror washed over Penelope, but it was quickly replaced by an unexpected tranquility.

"It's merely a wedding ring in my purse; does that instantly brand me a thief? You can't hurl accusations without substantial proof," she countered.

"And why, may I ask, are you, of all people, in possession of that ring? Who do you think you are?"

"I was intending to give the ring to Jo-"

"Enough with hiding behind Mr. Foster," Kennedy interrupted, not allowing her to finish her explanation. "We must see Mr. Davis immediately! This is a grave matter; only he can make the final decision."

Consult Kelvin?

That was an unthinkable proposition!

Penelope spun on her heels to escape, but Kennedy seized her blouse, dragging her into the elevator. "We must go!" he insisted.

She dared not resist too vigorously, mindful of the child she was carrying, thus she was powerless against Kennedy's physical might.

Kelvin looked up to see a disheveled and visibly flustered Penelope before him.

"What's the cause of this commotion?" he inquired, his tone restrained.

Kennedy was quick to inform: "Mr. Davis, Penelope has committed theft! And it's your wedding ring that she's pilfered!"

"The wedding ring?"

"Indeed. I saw her exiting the elevator, acting suspiciously and clutching her purse. I had an inkling something was amiss, so I confronted her, and sure enough, discovered the ring in her bag!"

Kelvin cast a glance at it.

Indeed, it was the ring he had planned to present to Fiona.
