From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 457 Madison Deserves it! "Oh, by the way, you know how much Lucy's all about me, right? If one day I just decide to be a jerk, yell at her, ghost her for a few days, and tell her I don't want her, what do you think would happen? Poor Lucy, getting trashed by me! She's the spoiled princess of the Davis family, always getting whatever she wants. But then she has to put up with my crap, thinking it's her fault I'm pissed. Chill, Penelope, I won't lay a finger on her. If people saw, they'd callthe evil stepmom. Can't give them that ammo. She's got Davis blood, after all..." Before Madison could finish, Penelope had already clocked her! What she said was just straight-up cruel! If she let it slide, she'd be a total wimp! Madison had it coming! Penelope's fist smacked Madison's cheek with a solid thud.

"Ah," Madison yelped, stumbling back a few steps before hitting the ground.

"Penelope, you hitagain!" Madison clutched her swollen cheek, "And you hit so hard!" "Damn right, I'm hitting you!" Penelope shot back.

Penelope's heart felt like it was getting stomped on, just thinking about Madison saying she'd mess with Lucy's head.

"You'll pay for this!" Madison pointed at her, trying to get up.

Penelope lunged at her again.

Today, she was gonna shut Madison up for good! "Listen, Madison, I don't care how you treat me, but if you mess with Lucy, I swear, I, Penelope, will..." Penelope started.

Before she could finish, a deep, commanding voice cut through the air.

"Stop!" The voice was so authoritative, you couldn't ignore it! It was Kelvin! Penelope paused and looked back.

She saw Kelvin coming out of the building, heading their way fast. She gritted her teeth.

Even if Kelvin tried to stop her, she was dead set on beating Madison! But what happened next blew Penelope's mind! Kelvin walked right past her and went straight to Madison! As he passed, he created a gust of wind that blew Penelope's hair.

Penelope was stunned.

Could it be that Kelvin told her to stop because he wanted to deal with Madison himself? That thought had barely crossed her mind when she saw something that left her completely floored.

Kelvin didn't hit Madison! Instead, he quickly walked over, bent down, and helped Madison up from the ground! He was helping Madison up! Penelope's eyes widened; she couldn't believe what she was seeing! Was this really Kelvin? The Kelvin she knew? "Kelvin, you..." Penelope blurted out, her mouth moving faster than her brain, "Do you know what you're doing?" Whether he didn't hear her or just didn't care, he ignored her.

Kelvin didn't answer her at all.

His focus was all on Madison.

He gently helped her up, checking her over before asking, "Did you hurt yourself?" His voice was dripping with concern! "My elbow, it's scraped." Madison raised her hand, showing him. "It hurts a bit." Kelvin's face darkened.

Madison took the chance to fall into his arms, looking all weak and helpless, but her eyes shot a smug look at Penelope.

Kelvin didn't push her away; instead, he held her waist, his voice just loud enough for Penelope to hear.

"How did you fall? Were you careless, or did someone push you?" Kelvin asked.

"It was Penelope who pushed me, Mr. Davis. Just before you arrived, she even hit me," Madison said "What?" Kelvin's face changed instantly, like a storm brewing! This side of Kelvin wasn't new to Penelope.

She'd seen it countless times.

Whenever she was bullied, whenever she fell, whenever she got hurt, if Kelvin was around, he'd be the first to help her up, hold her, and check her over.

Only after making sure she was okay would he ask what had happened and why.

Then he'd have her back, no questions asked! He wouldn't let anyone who messed with her get away! Right now, Penelope saw that sKelvin-the familiar him, the familiar process, the familiar caring tone, and the deep anger in his eyes.

But he was caring for another woman.

The woman in his arms wasn't her! It was Madison! Penelope could hardly believe her eyes, and she couldn't believe that the man standing in front of her was Kelvin.

How could Kelvin be so gentle and kind to Madison? No, it couldn't be. This wasn't him! Penelope bit her tongue hard, the pain spreading, a very real pain.

It wasn't a dream.

She dared to do it and dared to admit it! What could Kelvin do to her? Penelope stood tall.

Kelvin looked at her. "You are direct and dare to admit it."

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Penelope shot back, "Why don't on't you ask her what she said and what she did!" "I don't care what she said or did, but you can't lay a hand on her!" Kelvin said.

Penelope's eyes narrowed.

She stared at Kelvin's face, his features.

Was this the Kelvin she knew? She'd heard this line before.

But back then, Kelvin was holding her and saying it to someone else.

Now, he was holding another woman, saying it to her.

He was clearly siding with Madison! Penelope never thought that one day, she'd be the woman abandoned by Kelvin.

And Madison would be the one standing by his side, leaning in his arms! A wave of powerlessness washed over Penelope.

"I did hit her." Penelope bit her lip hard, trying to stay calm "Madison deserves to be hit. She deserves to die! She and I are mortal enemies! Because she took my Lucy!" Kelvin glanced at her. "Apologize."
