章節 23: Outwitted

Before Sheena could finish her sentence, Penelope had already rushed forward and ruthlessly slapped her.

With a crisp clap, Sheena's face moved sideways from the hit, and her words were stuck in her throat. 

Penelope inched closer and whispered threatening words by Sheena's ear, "Shut your mouth! Don't forget that everything you have, I gave it to you! Don't say things you should not!"

Deep resentment and indignation appeared in Sheena's eyes.

Nonetheless, Sheena knew that she had to swallow the bitter pill. Otherwise, Penelope would never let go of her and her mother. After all, her mother would be promoted to a housekeeper in the Schmidt family next month.

Sheena considered the advantages and disadvantages. In the end, she decided to stay quiet.

She glanced profoundly at Penelope, secretly swearing that she would make Penelope regret what she did to her one day!
