章 536: I thought you knew a lot of things about me

Penny and Zoren had discussed Patricia. Although Zoren didn't divulge all the details, he told Penny he was keeping Patricia around solely to make whoever had sent her believe that Patricia had him wrapped around her finger.

Penny didn't mind, as she also hadn't told Zoren about the person behind Patricia. She was still searching for Nathaniel. With everything that had happened, Penny and Zoren were taking things slowly, careful not to overwhelm each other.

One thing Penny was certain of, though, was that Patricia knew Zoren was aware of her scheme. It reminded Penny of the conversations between Nathaniel and Patricia—those horrible plans meant to entrap Zoren.

"How are you?" Penny asked with genuine curiosity, noticing how quickly Patricia had turned pale. "Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"Ah." Patricia's voice faltered, forcing her to clear her throat. "Hehe. I'm just not feeling well today."
