Chapter 53 Recorded by Fiona The butler maintained his composure and advised, "Prove yourself speaking." Fiona was on the verge of losing her temper when the dining room door opened. Kelvin walked out from inside.
"Inform the hospital to keep a close watch on Mrs. Cooper. Penelope is not allowed near her!" he ordered. "If any mistakes occur, you will bear the consequences yourselves!" "Mr. Davis, what about the medicine..." the butler tried to ask.
"No medicine!" Kelvin ordered.
The butler shook his head in regret; they had been so close. He couldn't help but blFiona. If she had arrived a few minutes later, Mrs. Cooper could have had her medicine for this month! Fiona felt an overwhelming sense of pride, "See, you wanted to help Penelope? It's not allowed!" Having achieved her goal, Fiona was in a great mood.
Kelvin arrived at the company wearing a gloomy expression. As soon as Ryan saw him like this, he thought to himself, "Uh-oh." Today, they had to be on their toes at work. Mr. Davis's demeanor was like a barometer, and right now, it seemed like there was a level ten thunderstorm! Ryan's guess was spot on. In the CEO's office, executives cand went, enduring severe scolding's. This was already the fifth coffee cup they had replaced, as all the previous ones had been shattered.
"Assistant Ryan," the secretary asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Davis today?" "I don't know either. It's been like this since I arrived at the company," Ryan responded.
"Well, everyone needs to be careful today." The secretary said.
Ryan nodded and replied, "Just focus on your own tasks. Get the janitor to cand clean up the broken coffee cups." "Yes, Assistant Ryan." Fear swept through the Davis Group. Mr. Davis scolded the executives, who, in turn Jeräîtcritter supervisors, artritte supervisors vernécritten in fusitartinruinutter employees...

But what about her? Despite her wealth, she couldn't afford her mother's medicine at the hospital.
Penelope messaged Nathan, "I'll repay you in the next few days." Just as she sent the message, Nathan's call cin. Seeing his number, Penelope hesitated, then decided not to answer. She couldn't continue her relationship with Nathan; it would only harm him.
Since their past affection had already cto an end, with their grievances settled, she wished to bring it to a close.
Seeing no response from her, Nathan kept sending her messages- "Penelope, did Auntie take her medicine?" "How is the situation?" "When will you taketo see her?" "Penelope? Please reply." She stared at Nathan's messages, feeling a sense of unease. No matter how hard Penelope and Nathan tried to save her mother, it couldn't outweigh the influence Kelvin's words. He held all the power.
"Mrs. Davis," Ryan suddenly appeared, speaking in a hushed tone, "Mr. Davis wants to see you." "Did he mention the reason?" Penelope inquired.
Ryan shook his head, leaving Penelope curious. She got up and made her way to the CEO's office, attracting the hushed whispers of her colleagues behind her.
"She's heading to Mr. Davis's office. It's going to be a tough tfor her." "What does Mr. Davis want from her? Everything seems fine with 'Adoring Cupid'?" "Who knows? I've noticed Penelope frequently entering the CEO's office..." "I hope it's not sinappropriate relationship between her and Mr. Davis!" "Shhh, we shouldn't spread rumors about it." Penelope had heard sof the gossip, but she paid it no mind. How others saw her was of little consequence, given that simply staying alive required more effort than most.
Inside the CEO's office, Kelvin stood by the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Okay," he responded indifferently, his tone devoid of emotion.
Penelope watched his back and spoke up, "I won't get rid of the child, and I also want my mother to continue her treatment." "You want it all, but what makes you deserving?" Kelvin retorted.
Recalling Kelvin's drunken words from the previous night... she wondered if he remembered.
After a moment's thought, Penelope gathered her courage and said, "Last night, you askedwhat I really wanted. As long as I speak up, as long as you have it, Kelvin, I have an answer now." He slightly turned his body, listening attentively.
"I don't want anything for myself. I'm willing to stay by your side, allowing you to vent, torment, and humiliate me. But please spare my loved ones and friends. Don't harm them. And this child, I want to give birth to him. He's in my belly, and I don't want to deprive him of the right to see this world. I can give him away immediately after birth, let someone else take care of him. If..."Pausing, Penelope bit her lip. "If you wantto have a child for you, I will agree." She offering her freedom and rights for a lifetin exchange for the safety and happiness of those she cared about. She was willing to make this sacrifice, as she saw no hope for herself in this lifetime. Kelvin held all the power.
After finishing her words, Penelope nervously clenched her hands, awaiting his response. But to her surprise... "Last night?" Kelvin turned around, meeting her gaze. "I completely forgot." Penelope was stunned, the words hitting her heart like a heavy blow.
"How can words spoken when drunk hold any weight? Penelope, you are too naive." Yes, she had been incredibly naïve, deluding herself.

A cold smile curled on Kelvin's lip. "You never considered your ow status. You want something, and I should simply give it to you? How absurd." "Did you truly say..." Penelope began, but Kelvin interrupted.
"Do you have any evidence? Did you record it? Hm?" In that moment, he pressed his body close to hers, rendering her unable to move. Besides, she couldn't have predicted this turn of events.

Penelope lowered her head, acknowledging, "You want to pretend that nothing happened just now." "But" Kelvin raised an eyebrow, "someone recorded the words you spoke firsthand." Penelope was taken aback. What did he mean?
"When you saw your mother, what did you say?" Kelvin asked. "Hm?" Penelope's expression changed! She el had lied to her mother, saying she was with Nathan, and that her father was innocent. But how could these words have been recorded? Who did it? Seeing her change in demeanor, Kelvin coldly sneered. "It seems you already know." Penelope gritted her teeth. "Who recorded it?" "Do you still seek revenge?" Kelvin asked indifferently.
"Did you install surveillance equipment in the ward?" "It doesn't matter if I tell you," Kelvin raised an eyebrow. "It was Fiona who recorded it. You can't lay a finger on her." Penelope never expected that it would be Fiona, the woman constantly antagonizing her. She had never considered Fiona an enemy in the mental hospital! Kelvin took a leisurely step forward and sat down on the sofa.
He remained silent momentarily, retrieving a box from the drawer and opening it.
"A diamond bracelet!" Penelope exclaimed upon spotting it.
"That's correct. The very diamond bracelet that Lily and Fiona both desire is right here." Kelvin took it out and played with it casually in his hand.
Penelope stared at it without blinking.
Kelvin held it up high, admiring it. "To have been lying in this box all this time, what a waste." Sunlight poured in through the French window, bathing the room exceptional brightness.
