Capítulo 286: Behind the scenes

[REPLAY]

"Penny? Can you come here for a second?"

Penny glanced at Butler Jen and offered him a subtle smile. She picked up Chunchun and went to see Haines in his study.

"Uncle?" she called as soon as she stepped inside, while Haines closed the door. "Is there a problem?"

Haines's expression was solemn as he quietly said, "Your dad… he told me everything he knows."

"Oh." Clarity quickly shone in her eyes upon hearing that. Studying Haines's expression, she narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "And you don't want to tell me?"

"No, I will, but I think it should be Charles who tells you," Haines replied. "But only when you're ready, perhaps."

"I am always ready, Uncle," she responded quickly, only to have another thought cross her mind. "Does knowing it will put me in danger?"

Haines nodded. "There are things that should remain a secret or unknown."
