Chapter 1627: How in the world did you three end up in this situation?

Doubting Penny would rescue the day was justified by both Hayley and Theo. Perhaps, even by Patricia.

Why?

Because if the situation were reversed, they didn't think they would want to get involved.

This situation wasn't just about buying a company or hiring assistants. This was a crime, no matter how one twisted the narrative.
