From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 479 She Messed up her Voice on Purpose Madison was staring this old lady down, and something just felt off.

Why did this old woman seem kinda... weird? Sure, her face was all wrinkly, but her hair was blonde, and her neck skin was smooth and tight.

And her hands? Smooth and soft! No way this was an old lady's body! Madison kept her eyes locked on her and finally blurted out, "Who the heck are you?" "None of your damn business!" Penelope shot back.

Madison stepped up and reached for Penelope's face, "You wearing a mask or something? I'm gonna find out today." Penelope dodged, turning her head away.

Kelvin and Brandon saw this and both jumped up.

Brandon shoved Madison back, "What the hell are you doing!" He pushed her so hard, she stumbled back a few steps.

Kelvin walked over, planning to play peacemaker and stop Madison from going nuts.

He couldn't just openly help Penelope! But when he saw Brandon push Madison, he backed off.

Madison lost her balance and hit the ground hard! "Mr. Walker, you pushedfor sold lady?" Madison propped herself up, "I've always respected you and treated Isabella like a sister, but how could you do this to me!?" When she dropped the n"Isabella," Kelvin and Penelope both zeroed in on her. So, she was always backing Brandon and didn't dare to act up because of Isabella. Isabella was her shield; she wouldn't cross Isabella, and definitely wouldn't cross Brandon, Isabella's favorite! Their private relationship must be pretty tight! Brandon said coldly, "This is someone I brought. You mess with her, you mess with me!" "She's just a servant!" Madison snapped.

"She's still a guest!" Brandon shot back.

Madison was even more pissed, pointing at Penelope, "Who is she? Why are you protecting her so much? Coming here in old lady makeup, she must be up to no good!" Penelope replied, "Can't you really tell who I am, Madison? Are you that blind? When you're all high and mighty, who would dare mess with you like this?" Madison squinted, thinking hard, and then looked closer.

After a bit, she hesitated, "Are you... Penelope?" "Yeah!" Penelope admitted, "It's me!" She knew her disguise could only fool Lucy for so long, and Madison would figure it out eventually.

Might as well cclean now! "Why'd you make yourself look like this?" Madison asked, then it hit her, "Oh, you're scared Lucy will recognize you, huh? She hates your guts!" Penelope bit her lip.

Knowing it was Penelope, Madison got even more smug.

She put on a show for Kelvin. "Kelvin, helpup. I can't stand. I'm so tired. Don't you feel bad for me?" She was saying this just to rub it in Penelope's face.

Showing off! Flaunting! Kelvin helped her to the sofa.

Madison leaned into him, all smug, staring at Penelope.

She wanted to make sure Penelope knew who was boss! "Penelope, you made yourself look old to dodge Lucy, I get it. But why's your voice all messed up too?" Madison laughed, "You sound like a crow, all hoarse and nasty." "None of your damn business," Penelope shot back.

"Oh, look at you, so rude. No wander you're abandoned by you husband." Madison sneered.

Penelope fired back, "I don't need a man to live my life!" Madison smirked, "She won't understand what it is like to be loved and cherished by a man, right, darling?" She called him so sweetly, like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Penelope had never called Kelvin like that.

She always used his name, plain and simple.

The only tshe called him anything else was in the back seat of a car.

Back then, he kept pushing her to call him "Honey." Desperate to make him stop, Penelope gave in and called him that.

She thought giving him what he wanted would make him let her go. Boy, was she wrong.

And now, Kelvin could be all cozy with another woman without a care.

'Does it hurt? Is it sad? Sometimes you get so numb, you don't feel a thing.' Penelope was in that zone now.

Kelvin looked up, his eyes lazily drifting to Penelope, "Watch your tone; don't be so harsh." "I've always talked like this," Penelope replied, "You didn't just meettoday!"

He frowned, clearly annoyed, "What's up with your voice?" It was hoarse, and it made his heart ache to hear it.

But he could only ask like this.

"Nothing," Penelope said, "Just a cold; it'll get better in a few days." Kelvin frowned even more, "That bad? Not seeing a doctor?" "Thanks for your concern, Mr. Davis; I'm fine," Penelope said.

"I just find it annoying," Kelvin said.

Penelope bit her lip.

If it weren't for Lucy, she wouldn't step foot in the King Manor ever again! She never wanted to see Kelvin again! "It's not a cold," Brandon chimed in, "She messed up her voice on purpose." Kelvin's heart tightened, "On purpose?" 'Can it recover? Will it always be hoarse? How could she be so stupid!' "Yeah, I don't know what she took, but for more than half a month, her voice will be like this, and then it'll slowly get better," Brandon explained, "To see Lucy, she really went all out." Hearing it would recover, Kelvin's heart eased.

Madison mocked, "Oh, so you're scared Lucy will recognize your voice. Penelope, you really went all ut to see Lucy and not get kicked out. Messing up your voice and putting on old makeup, such deep scheming!" "I'm not just here to see Lucy," Penelope said.

"Then what else do you want?" Madison asked with disdain, You wanna take Lucy away? Kelvin, you won't let her, right?" "Yeah," Kelvin responded coolly, "Lucy's staying at the King Manor and isn't going anywhere."

Penelope took a deep breath, clenching her fists. "Lucy's eyes are dark, and there are red veins in them.

It's clear she didn't sleep well last night and cried. I bet she had m nightmares because she was scared. Lucy said there was a devil in the hospital room and insisted on being discharged and going home. But even at home, she's still scared. Without someone to take care of her and be with her, this fear will never leave her. I want to take care of her," Penelope stated her purpose, "When Lucy stops having nightmares and can sleep peacefully through the night, I'll leave the King Manor."
