Chapter 126

Elise frowned, a flicker of guilt passing through her chest.

"What are you doing here?"

A sharp crack split the silence.

Penelope let out a cold, contemptuous snort. "What am I doing here? I actually thought you had some real talent, that maybe you could win M Boutique for the Harrison family.

Elise pressed a trembling hand to her stinging cheek, her skin burning with pain.

That witch actually hit her.

Ever since Elise had returned from abroad and Magnus had taken her under his wing, no one had dared to treat her like this.

She took a shaky step forward, ready to slap Penelope right back.
