Chapter 195 No Love, Just Loathing

"Of course, Mrs. Davis," the servant said.

Penelope then turned back to Anthony, and advised, "Keep it together, and you might just coast through life as a trust fund kid."

Anthony sure hit the jackpot, free from financial worries.

As long as he doesn't screw up, his life would be smoother than 99% of the people out there.

The bodyguards quickly stepped forward, dragging Lily and Anthony away.

"Let go of me I'm the youngest son of the Davis family!" Anthony protested.

"I can walk on my own; how dare you lay hands on me!" Anthony yelled.

No matter how Anthony shouted, the bodyguards remorselessly pulled him away. Penelope frowned and stood on the ground.

Now, more than ever, she was convinced that Mr. Davis's death had something to do with Lily and her son!

The panic in their expressions, the guilt-they'd forgotten to hide it, and it was all laid bare for the world to see!

Anthony, especially, couldn't even bear to look at the portrait of Mr. Davis.

As Penelope was pondering, an arm snaked around her waist.

The scent of cologne enveloped her, and she found herself in Kelvin's embrace.

"Penelope, just now..." he whispered in her ear, "the way you stood up for me I won't forget it."

Standing before him, defending him from Lily and her son, every word she spoke about his predicament, arguing on his behalf...

For Kelvin, what more could he ask for in a wife?

No matter how harsh her words were, she still held a place for him in her heart.

"I... I wasn't defending you," Penelope retorted, "I just can't stand them, that's all." She was also doing it for herself, to uncover the truth.

Kelvin's arms tightened, "Penelope, when will you face your feelings, our feelings?" After many detours, it had taken him a long time to confront the truth about their marriage, and he didn't want Penelope to go through the same.

But the way things looked, she seemed to be in for an even longer journey.

"There's no love between us-only hate," Penelope declared, "Lily made it quite clear: we share a vendetta!"

"If there were no vendetta, would you love me?" he probed.

"I..." Penelope found herself at a loss for words.
