Kapitel 343: Bold and Spoiled (2)

"Ouch!" Penelope gasped in pain as soon as her bottom made contact with the hard ground underneath her feet. 

Instinctively, Penelope had stretched out her hands to support her body. Her hands scraped the gravelly floor and her tender skin turned red before tearing.

Blood oozed out from the minor scratches, but these little injuries were enough to make Penelope shed some tears.

Because more than her hands, her heart hurt more. Nicolai could have helped her just now, but he didn't instead he watched her fall.

The look in his eyes was so cold that it terrified Penelope and at the same time, it enraged her.

Why was he treating her like such over a woman who means nothing? Who couldn't even help him in ways that he needed? 

She had investigated Ariana thoroughly and a prim and proper woman like her was not well-matched with Nicolai in any way possible. Unlike her, Ariana could never satisfy Nicolai.
