Chapter 470 The Half Mistress of The King Manor A kid's world is just plain simple and innocent.
Promises? Gotta keep 'em, no excuses.
Penelope watched Lucy run back to Kelvin, whisper something, and then Kelvin shot a glance her way.
Without a second look, they bounced.
Only Madison threw her a quick, smug look before leaving.
That look screamed disdain and arrogance.
Penelope kept telling herself, over and over.
Lucy didn't hate her.
Lucy still loved her mom.
Lucy was healthy now.
It was just that Lucy's head was all messed up, and Madison was pulling the strings.
Lucy wasn't to blame.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeither was she.
The real villain? Madison! After running this through her head a million times, Penelope finally pushed down the crushing sadness.
She quietly slipped out of the hospital.
Seeing Lucy again? That was gonna be tough.
At the hospital, Penelope could sneak a peek from the door, just to ease her mind.
But now, with Lucy back at King Manor with Kelvin and Madison, how could she visit? Plus, Lucy didn't even wanna see her.
She hid so well today, but Lucy still found her! Lucy even cover to tell her not to be the "third wheel"! Penelope clenched her fists.
She had to end this mess and snap Lucy out of it! King Manor.
The car rolled in and cto a stop. The butler rushed over to open the door. "Mr. Davis, Miss Cooper." Madison got out too.
The butler stayed quiet.
"What?" Madison snapped, "Butler, I'm right here. Can't you see me? Not even a hello?" The butler paused, "Sorry, Ms. Garcia. My attention was all on Miss Cooper, so I missed you." Madison sneered, "Oh, you've been here for years and still can't get your timing right? Looks like you're slacking." The butler stayed silent, bowing his head a bit.
"I'm talking to you, and you're ignoring me?" Madison started up again, "Do you think you're better than me?" "Ms. Garcia, you're overreacting," the butler said.
Madison ignored him and clung to Kelvin's arm, whining, "Honey, look, he's disrespecting me!" The butler was shocked.
Did Madison just call Kelvin that? The butler instinctively looked at Kelvin, whose face stayed pretty neutral.
He seemed used to it! "Butler," Kelvin said, "from now on, Madison is basically half the owner of King Manor." "Mr. Davis..." the butler started.
"Didn't you get it?" Kelvin said.
The butler, having been with Kelvin for years, quickly masked his shock and nodded, "Yes, I got it, Mr. Davis." With Kelvin's recognition, Madison got even more cocky! As she walked past the butler, she straightened up on purpose.
The butler bowed his head even more.
He didn't know why Kelvin was suddenly treating Madison like royalty, but he had to play along.
After all, he was just a servant and had to follow Kelvin's orders! "In the future, whatever I tell you to do, you better do it," Madison said, crossing her arms. "No backtalk, or I'll replace you in a heartbeat, got it?" The butler gestured, "Ms. Garcia, this way, please." Madison snorted and strutted into the villa, head held high.
"Mommy," Lucy suddenly piped up, "you looked so different just now." Kelvin glanced at Madison too.
Of course, she looked different.
That kind of arrogance, looking down on people, and feeling all high and mighty? You'd never see that in Penelope.
Penelope was always chill and easy to get along with, unlike Madison, who was so full of herself! "Really," Madison forced a smile, "No, Lucy, I was just talking to the butler." "But you looked so mean," Lucy said.
Madison quickly replied, "Mommy will never be mean to you, Lucy, never." "Mommy, don't be mean to others either," Lucy said. "They didn't do anything wrong. Even if they did, as long as they fix it, they should be forgiven. That's what you always taught me." Madison wished she could just zip Lucy's mouth shut.
She had finally thrown her weight around in front of the butler, and now what? Lucy's words completely embarrassed her.

Even though the butler didn't show it, he was definitely laughing inside! Madison's face changed, and she forced a smile, "Yes, yes, Lucy is right. Let's go check out your bedroom. I heard it's super pink and pretty!" She quickly changed the subject, not wanting to drag the conversation on.
The butler stifled a laugh, "Ms. Garcia, this way, please." Lucy was definitely raised by Penelope well-behaved, polite, and thoughtful.
Who knew when Lucy would snap out of it, rendering Madison utterly insignificant and destined to fade away.
Lucy's bedroom was on the second floor.
The butler and a dozen servants had been busting their butts, finally getting it all set up.
The room was luxurious and comfy, just as nice as the master bedroom, with a bed piled high with limited-edition stuffed animals. The curtains were pink, the carpet was pink, even the towels and slippers had cartoon patterns.
Lucy was a true little princess!
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Lucy squealed, running around the room.
"Such a big room, Mommy; it's bigger En.
than our whole house used to be!" The house in the county was only a hundred square feet. Penelope lived there with two kids and Ruby. It wasn't cramped, but it wasn't spacious either.
Now, Lucy's bedroom was 130 square feet.
With a walk-in closet, toy room, shoe cabinet, and everything else.
Madison glanced around, "It is big and beautiful. Lucy, look, Daddy loves you so much, preparing such a gorgeous room for you." She thought that if she had a kid in the future, the treatment would have to be even better than Lucy's! For now, let Lucy enjoy it! "As long as Lucy likes it," Kelvin patted her head. "If you need anything, just tell the butler, and he'll get it for you." "It's already more than enough. I don't need anything else," Lucy replied. "But if you make me..." She blinked.
Kelvin squatted down, "What do you want? Even if it's the stars in the sky, Daddy will get them for you."
