"What the…?" Aiden was momentarily flabbergasted when he saw that Lily had escaped. He looked at the hired men with a disgusted expression, sneering. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Get her!"
The hired men looked back at the grumpy young master before shifting their eyes to Penny. One of them—the one Lily bit—took a step forward, only to stop when Penny extended her arm to the side.
"Take another step, and don't blame me for what's going to happen to you." Penny's voice was calm, but it carried a weight that even men like them wouldn't ignore.
The man stepped back, assessing the look in Penny's eyes. He then exchanged a meaningful glance with the other man. Even without words, they intuitively understood what it meant.
This woman was trouble. It was better to be careful around her.
