From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 123 The Plot to End Penelope's Pregnancy

She was a patient woman, biding her time, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

"Mr. Davis, it seems even Penelope can now belittles and torments me..." Fiona lamented, her voice choked with tears. "Have you ever considered that she might not be as innocent as she seems? Yes, I faked my pregnancy, but she's bearing the child of another man! That's a direct affront to you!"

The patriarch was quick to concur, "Indeed! I had intended to humble her, to lend you a hand, to ensure Penelope suffers a genuine miscarriage! Otherwise, if this scandal leaks, where would that leave your reputation?"

In their shared animosity towards Penelope, father and daughter formed a united front, both aiming to bring her down.

As Penelope was about to retort, Kelvin interjected, "I'll handle her."

"Mr. Davis..."

"Enough!" Kelvin's gaze was intense, "Reflect on your actions!"

Fiona, cowed by his stern rebuke, meekly replied, "I've been reflecting, Mr. Davis... but regardless, my love for you is sincere. The night we shared was real too..."

She dabbed at the corners of her eyes, a calculated move to stir sympathy.

"I fake a pregnancy and you berate me... but you tolerate Penelope carrying another man's child. Why won't you compel her to abort it? When are you planning to act?"

Her focus remained fixated on the child Penelope was carrying, the father-daughter duo's desperate wishes for a miscarriage remained unaltered.

Unable to bear it any longer, Penelope stepped forward, delivering two resounding slaps.

"Ah!" Fiona shrieked, "Penelope, you... how dare you strike me!"

"Indeed, I slapped you, and I meant to," Penelope retorted, withdrawing her hand. "And I did it right in front of Kelvin."

"Penelope, you're trampling over me today! Mr. Davis, are you just going to stand idle while I'm humiliated?" Fiona wailed, her voice echoing throughout the room.

Fortunately, the expansive King Manor was large enough to prevent the neighbors from witnessing such a spectacle.

Penelope crouched down in front of Fiona, whispering so only they could hear-

"You'd better cease meddling with my child, or you'll regret it. You really thought you could deceive me with that fake pregnancy and miscarriage, didn't you, Fiona? Let me tell you, I'm aware of more of your dirty secrets than just that."
