Chapter 1639: I'm not talking to my sister, but my contact

[SKYLINE PLAZA: Zoren's]

Most lights in the separate guesthouse of the residence were shut off. With barely any light from outside penetrating the windows, Penny could barely see the person lying unconscious on the bed-the same bed Nathaniel had used when he was here.

Penny sat in a chair a few meters from the bed, arms crossed under her chest.

"I thought abducting Jonathan would fill this place," she whispered, narrowing her eyes. "But I guess you should expect the unexpected."

Patricia should've told Penny earlier. No matter how lame it would sound, Penny would always check its validity herself. But then again, Patricia had been careful, treading on eggshells. Probably because everyone assumed she'd make a mistake that could end her budding career.

Leaning back, Penny didn't want to dwell on it anymore.

Was she worried about the trio? (Patricia, Theo, and Hayley) Absolutely.

What happened spiraled out of control, but thankfully, despite their panic, they still managed to get this woman tied up. Still, she was unsure if that was a good thing or if she should recommend them a good therapist.

"The bottom line is... I need to call Finn," she whispered, sighing as she remembered her husband's absence, because Finn couldn't shut his damn mouth. "I swear, if something happened to my husband... Finn's the first to go."

With Nina's mother's injuries tended to and sedated to keep her sleeping, Penny knew she wouldn't wake up-not tonight. But before she left, she walked closer to check the woman's cuffs. She nodded in satisfaction, thinking that keeping one arm and one foot cuffed to the bed would keep her from leaving.

Not that Penny was worried this woman could sneak out of here, even if she wanted to.

There was no way she could slip away with so many people stationed at the residence. However, she had to cuff her for only one reason: Renny.

Even from a mile away, Renny would be able to detect another person's presence and scent. And if that happened, this woman would be done for. That was the last thing Penny wanted.

When Penny walked out of the guesthouse, she stopped upon spotting Angel.

Angel was waiting for her on the side, approaching her. He leaned closer, whispering, "Sir Hugo is here with a few guests."
