Chapter 202 The Killer Is You or Lily

"Sure," Penelope nodded. "Have you said your piece? If so, it's my turn."

"Go ahead," Anthony replied.

She locked eyes with him, and asked, "Was my father really responsible for Mr. Davis's death, or... is there someone else?"

Anthony's facade wavered, but he tried to mask his shock. "Of course, it was your father! The police closed the case, and Kelvin looked into it, too. Your father is the killer!" he insisted.

"Are you sure?" Penelope questioned.

"Positive!" Anthony said, adamantly.

Penelope came on strong, saying, "Why do I get the feeling that you're the one behind this, or... Lily!"

"That's ridiculous!" Anthony shot up from his seat, his voice laced with urgency. "Penelope, you can't just throw around accusations like that!"

"Because I trust my father's character and his medical expertise. And I've investigated as well, Mr. Davis hadn't made any enemies in his lifetime; he was kind to everyone. Only you and Lily, with your eyes on the wealth and power of the Davis estate, could commit such heinous, utterly insane acts!" Penelope accused.

"You, you..." Anthony stammered, at a loss for words. In the end, all he could muster to say with his frustration boiling over, was, "You're slinging mud without proof!"

The tension in the room thickened, becoming almost palpable.

Then Penelope chuckled suddenly, the strain in her voice easing significantly, and said, "Sure, I have no proof; it's all speculation. Anthony, we were about to strike a deal here. You've got to let me in on what you know, right?"

Anthony visibly relaxed as well, though still cautious. "You can't just make wild guesses about things like this, Penelope," he said, visibly upset.

"Just give me a hint on how Mr. Davis truly died," Penelope insisted.

Anthony hesitated, torn, and, in the end, didn't say a word.

The issue was of utmost importance. Lily had reminded him time and again, not a word until it was all settled!

"Fine, it looks like you just don't trust me enough," Penelope sighed, disappointment in her voice. There's nothing left to discuss; I'm going."

Without looking back, she headed for the door.

"Wait!" Anthony called out.
