Chapter 173 Your Weakness Turns Out to Be A Woman

Now, Kelvin was lying in a hospital bed, too...

"Everyone, leave," Penelope demanded, eyes shut, regaining her composure. "Now! Except you, butler. You need to stay."

The room emptied at her command.

When they were alone, she seized the butler's hand tightly. "You're the only one I can trust right now," she claimed.

"Mrs. Davis, just say the word. I've been loyal to the family since Mr. Moore was a child. My loyalty has always been with him!" the butler encouraged.

Penelope's voice dropped to a whisper, "Do you remember Mr. Davis's death?"

She said no more, but the butler immediately grasped her meaning, his expression changing abruptly.

"The King Manor must have someone at the hospital, someone who sticks close and keeps an eye on everything," Penelope said firmly. "The medicine and IV fluids for Kelvin must especially be scrutinized! We can't afford any loopholes!"

"Listen," she turned to the butler, her tone tense, "you know that my father had nothing to do with Mr. Davis's death. Someone took advantage of the chaos... We can't let that happen again!"

The butler's face was grave and said, "I'm on it, Mrs. Davis. I'll make the arrangements right away."

Penelope advised, "Just to be safe, you should go there yourself."

The butler agreed, "Absolutely."

on.

She mulled it over; the butler surely knew more than he let on, but he would never reveal it to her. The journey to uncover the truth was lengthy, but she remained resolute in her quest, determined to reach the light at the end of the tunnel.

At the hospital...
