60 My money's on you!

Being wrongfully accused was something Penny had gone through countless times in her life. Starting from the Cortez Household, the Bennet's, and everywhere. Even how she ended up in prison, it was due to being wrongfully accused. It was all the same pattern. Hence, she could see through Patricia like an open book.

An arrogant young lady like her wouldn't be so forthcoming unless she had an evil plan laid out. Penny might not know, nor did she care, about Patricia's real motive, but she wouldn't be the willing victim of some wicked plan.

A lesson learned she learned the hard way yet, a little too late.
