Chapter 433 I Believe You Wouldn't Help Madison Harm Lucy Tina screamed in the office, "Ahhhhh! Penelope! It's really Penelope!" She looked like a fangirl meeting her idol-no, even more excited! Penelope had no clue about the commotion she caused. She headed straight to the CEO's office.
"Mrs. Davis," Ryan stuttered, "You, you need to see..." "Kelvin." "Right this way." Ryan quickly led her and knocked on the door, "Mr. Davis." "What's up?" Kelvin's voice was impatient. "Is the sky falling?" He hadn't slept all night, smelled of smoke, just showered in the office, and was getting dressed. Why was Ryan bothering him again? Hadn't he said not to disturb him unless it was urgent? Penelope looked at Ryan, "The sky is falling? What do you mean?" "Uh..." Ryan was at a loss for words.
Hearing Penelope's voice, Kelvin paused while tying his tie and immediately opened the door himself.
"Penelope?" It was really her. She rarely cto the office to see him.

Ryan coughed, "Mr. Davis, the sky may not be talling, but Mrs. Davis is here, which is a bigger deal, right?" Kelvin shot him a cold look. Ryan quickly closed the door and slipped away.
Penelope felt a bit awkward. Kelvin's shirt was unbuttoned, water droplets clung to his bronze skin, and he smelled faintly of body wash. She didn't know where to look.
"You cto see me?" Kelvin asked nonchalantly, "Have you seen Lucy?" "No, I cto discuss something with you." Kelvin sat on the sofa, slowly buttoning his shirt, tying his tie, and adjusting his belt. He looked like a handsman fresh out of the shower. Penelope's eyes darted around, avoiding him.
Seeing this, Kelvin slowed his movements even more, eventually stopping altogether, leaving his shirt open. His abs were particularly eye-catching.
"Sit," Kelvin said lazily, leaning on the sofa armrest, "Want something to drink?" He made it seem like she was a guest. Penelope didn't hesitate and sat directly across from him, "Whatever you have." After all this time, you're really getting comfortable," Kelvin remarked, rising to pour her stea. "Yesterday, we had a heated argument, and now you're sitting here with me." After a pause, he added, "Penelope, you've grown." In the past, she would only give him the cold shoulder, never actively seeking him out or getting along so harmoniously.

"Because arguing solves nothing, and blaming you only drains our energy," Penelope replied. "It's been four years; I have to be more mature." "But I wish you would always stay innocent and pure, even if it means I get hurt." "Nice words," she pouted, "But when I turned and ran yesterday, you didn't chase after me." Kelvin's voice was deep, "I knew you wanted to be alone." He needed to be alone too. In such situations, staying together would only escalate the conflict.
The more he and Penelope argued, the more Madison benefited.
"Alright," Penelope said softly, looking down. "What I said yesterday was out of anger. I believe you wouldn't help Madison harm Lucy." Kelvin's hand, holding the teacup, paused slightly.
'Did I hear that right? Or was I hallucinating? Penelope said she believed me?' he wondered himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore he could react, Penelope added, "I was too emotional yesterday. Don't take it personally; pretend I didn't say anything." Kelvin lowered his eyes, his lips pressed together.
'She was apologizing. A subtle apology. He understood. It was already surprising that she said she believed him, and now she was even admitting she was wrong!' Kelvin placed the teacup in front of Penelope, his gaze fixed on her. Penelope didn't dare look into his eyes but knew he was staring at her. She felt both embarrassed and annoyed, her face turning red.
This morning, she had woken up without makeup and remained calm when Brandon stared at her. Why did she feel like a lovestruck teenager in front of Kelvin now?

"Even though you didn't help Madison, her presence is your fault.
Kelvin, you can't escape responsibility." He acknowledged with a "hmm." He had missed Penelope so much at the tthat he brought Madison back to The King Manor just to see her every day. Who knew he had sown the seeds of today's disaster! Penelope continued, "We can't figure out why Lucy has this cognitive disorder. She only trusts and depends on Madison. What do we do? It's been days; have you cup with a solution?
Kelvin bent down and sat across from her. He had a solution. He had smoked all night, staring at her m ather window, and finally cup with an idea. But this solution would cat a great cost! And no one could know! Only Kelvin could execute it! So he couldn't tell Penelope. "If we let Madison continue like this, I'm afraid she has other means to further control Lucy's mind," Penelope said. "Because she's always by Lucy's side, it's easiest for her to act and succeed." "There are monitors in the ward. I've had people watching her constantly; she can't do anything crazy." Penelope breathed a sigh of relief. Kelvin was indeed thoughtful. She had really wronged him. With such attention to detail, he couldn't possibly be in cahoots with Madison.
But Penelope still found it strange. "Why would she slander you?" "She's just a lunatic, spouting nonsense." "You must have promised her something," Penelope looked at him. "Otherwise, why would she be so obsessed with you?" Kelvin met her gaze. His eyes were deep, as if they could draw in her soul. After a while, he sighed softly, "Penelope, except for you, all women are obsessed with me."
He was the ruler of LA, the most distinguished man at the top of the pyramid. Countless socialites and celebrities wanted to stand by his side and bechis woman. Even if not officially, many women still threw themselves at him! Except for Penelope. She was initially afraid of him, then hated him. Kelvin wondered, 'Had she ever loved me?'
