Chapter 165 We Die Together

Fiona gently traced her scars. "Kelvin threw me to the wolves. What chance did I have? To make myself repulsive to them, I had to slash my face into a mess so vile it would turn their stomachs."

Her expression twisted with vengeance, her eyes almost looking capable of devouring Penelope entirely.

"How did you escape?" Penelope asked.

"Look, that's none of your concern," Fiona retorted, "Penelope, you've ruined

everything for me, and I won't let you get off easy!"

"How is it my fault that you've dug your own grave?" Penelope shot back.

"It's all because of you!" Fiona was seething to the point of madness. "I know I'm done for. Kelvin won't kill me, but he'll make me wish I was dead! So, I'm taking you down with me!"

"Ha! Since Kelvin is so fond of you, I'm going to kill you! I'll make him live the rest of his life longing for you, forever losing you! If we both die, he won't have it easy either!"

"Just wait, Penelope, I'm about to call Kelvin. He'll come to save you soon enough. Then, right in front of him, I'll take a knife and slash your face, make you uglier than me..."

"Then, I'll invite a few guys over to 'take care of you,' while he watches. In the end, I'll die with you... Hahaha, isn't my plan just perfect?"

Penelope glared at her, "You've truly gone insane."

"Yes! I've lost it! Ever since you exposed my charade, I've gone completely mad! I have nothing left!" Fiona exclaimed.

Penelope didn't bother to argue anymore. Arguing with a cornered, desperate lunatic wasn't worth her time.

All she needed to do was protect herself.

Penelope couldn't die, not at Fiona's hands, at least. She had endured two grueling years in the psych ward; she could survive this. Also, survived her early days of marriage to Kelvin.

Now, at a crucial time for uncovering the truth and rescuing her father, with everything finally moving in a positive direction she couldn't, iust die!

The ceiling hatch remained open, letting in streams of light. Fiona paced back and forth, occasionally her voice mingling with men's laughter reached Penelope's ears.

Penelope kept her eyes shut, conserving her energy. But those conversations, and those sounds... they were unbearable.
