Chapter 416 The Tomb of Beloved Wife Penelope

Luckily, it was almost over!

"Penelope, go rest," Kelvin said gently. "You've been worn out all day."

"How can I sleep?"

Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Lucy leaning on Madison, giving her that timid look. Lucy's words, "bad woman," still echoed in her ears.

"I know what you're thinking. Lucy will come around," Kelvin reassured. "She's just confused right now."

Penelope looked down, feeling so sad she couldn't bear to be alone. So, she went back to King Manor.

"You keep saying there's a way, so I'll trust you," Penelope said. "But if Lucy keeps thinking Madison is her mom, it's on you!"

Kelvin had kept Madison around, causing this mess. He hadn't dealt with her properly. Kelvin looked at her firmly. "Penelope, I'll bring Lucy back to you, whole and complete." That was his promise. As the powerful president of the Davis Group, if he said he'd do it, he would.

Penelope met his gaze for a moment, then looked away. "You set up a tombstone for me on the back hill?"

"Yes."

"Let's go see it."

She walked toward the back hill, not afraid even though it was the middle of the night. Kelvin followed closely.

Penelope walked slowly and soon saw the tombstone: [Beloved Wife Penelope's Tomb.] The words were a bit blurred, especially the photo, which had a smooth spot from being touched often.

Penelope stood in front of her own tombstone. It was kind of funny.

The evening breeze blew gently, rustling the leaves. In the distance, cicadas and frogs could be heard.
