Chapter 570 Penelope's Revenge (3)
"Leave?" Penelope chuckled, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
She had thought about leaving too.
But was she willing? Nope, she wasn't.
Penelope had nothing left.
She thought, 'Just run away and spend the rest of my life in poverty? No family, no friends, no lover?'
Thinking of this, she said coldly, "Dashiell, I'm not leaving."
Dashiell gripped his phone tightly, trembling with restraint.
Penelope continued, "Since I have nothing now, I might as well, before I die, take someone with me. That way, I won't be too lonely when I die."
"Penelope!" Dashiell's emotions were clearly on the verge of exploding.
Penelope laughed hysterically.
Dashiell had never cared about her.
But now, for the first time, Dashiell was looking at her differently!
She said, "I'll give you half an hour. If you don't come, be prepared to collect Seraphina's body. Just a reminder, don't call the police, don't notify the Monroe family, and don't play any tricks. I never intended to live anyway. At worst, I'll die along with Seraphina. I mean what I say!"
With that, she abruptly hung up the phone.
Dashiell's face turned extremely grim.
He glanced at the location information sent to his phone.
Without a second thought, he drove to the destination alone.
In a dilapidated warehouse at an abandoned port, dust was everywhere.
When Seraphina woke up, nothing felt familiar.
Her eyes were covered, and she couldn't see anything.
She was still a bit dazed.
It took her a while to remember that she had dinner with her friends that night and went to a nightclub for a bit. Finding it boring, she left early.
As soon as she got into a taxi to go home, there was an accident. She saw a man get out of the other car and thought he was coming to argue with the driver. But the man opened her car door and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
She struggled.
Then she passed out.
When she woke up, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.
Once Seraphina figured it out, she instantly became tense.
She had been kidnapped for no reason.
Who did she offend?
Her face was full of fear.
"Awake?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
Seraphina turned towards the voice.
But with her eyes covered, she couldn't see anything.
But in that instant, she knew.
It was Penelope!
Why did Penelope kidnap her?
Oh, right, in today's lawsuit, Alaric won big, and the Kingsley family lost miserably.
Dominic was detained on the spot, and Octavia was also arrested. There were rumors that Penelope was involved, but the police hadn't caught her yet.
How did Penelope end up here? And why did she kidnap her?
Penelope saw all the changes in Seraphina's emotions.
Penelope really didn't understand why Dashiell liked Seraphina.
What was so good about Seraphina that Dashiell was so stubbornly in love with her?
She walked closer to Seraphina.
Seraphina could feel Penelope approaching.
With her hands and feet tied and her eyes covered, the fear only grew.
She shouted at Penelope, "What do you want? If you want money, you can call my dad. No matter how much, I'll give it to you!"
Penelope laughed.
Even though she always looked down on Seraphina, Penelope had to admit that Seraphina was keeping it together pretty well right now.
In a situation like this, knowing who she was dealing with but not calling it out directly, instead trying to protect herself in another way.
Too bad for Seraphina, Penelope never planned on letting her go.
The blindfold was just to keep her from knowing their exact location when she woke up.
But now, there was no need to hide it anymore.
Penelope bent down and yanked off the blindfold covering Seraphina's eyes.
Seraphina was startled.
She squeezed her eyes shut, not daring to open them.
"Open your eyes. You already know who I am!" Penelope said calmly.
Seraphina gritted her teeth, trying hard to stay calm and not break down.
Slowly, she opened her eyes.
Seraphina knew very well that since Penelope let her see her, she never intended to let her go.
Whether she opened her eyes or not made no difference.
Seraphina looked at Penelope in front of her.
Seeing Penelope standing over her, looking at her mockingly.
In fact, Penelope didn't look noble at all at this moment. Her clothes, makeup, and even her hair were a mess, completely devoid of the glamour she had when she was wealthy. Penelope seemed not to care anymore.
The two looked at each other.
Penelope sneered, "Seraphina, who would have thought we'd meet like this one day?"
"What do you want to do!"
"What do you think?" Penelope retorted.
Seraphina clenched her fists, trying hard to stay calm.
"Penelope, I advise you to turn yourself in!" Seraphina said harshly, "The police are looking for you. You can't escape. If you turn yourself in early, you can still plead with the judge!"
Penelope laughed sarcastically, "I abused Lyra. If I turn myself in, do you think I'll live? Lyra won't kill me, but she'll make my life a living hell! Seraphina, do you think I'm stupid?"
Seraphina was helpless.
Penelope seemed to understand everything.
If the police found her now, she would definitely die miserably.
Of course, Seraphina never had any emotional fluctuations towards Penelope. Whatever happened to Penelope was her own doing.
And Seraphina never expected that before Penelope died, she would kidnap her!
"Seraphina, tell me, why does Dashiell like you?" Penelope suddenly changed the subject.
Even at this moment, Penelope seemed to be obsessed with Dashiell.
"He doesn't like me!" Seraphina denied, "We divorced. He doesn't like me now!"
"Do you think I'm blind?" Penelope controlled her anger. She loved Dashiell so much that she knew very well who Dashiell loved and didn't love!
If he didn't love Seraphina, Dashiell wouldn't come to save her.
But she was sure Dashiell would come.
Penelope's anger was evident to Seraphina, who was really afraid that Penelope would impulsively stab her to death.
"I really have nothing to do with Dashiell. I'm dating Sebastian now!" Seraphina shouted, "Soon, I'll marry Sebastian!"
"Even if you marry, Dashiell still loves you!"
"Dashiell isn't that pathetic!" Seraphina shouted.
She knew very well how cold Dashiell had been to her recently.
Dashiell didn't like her anymore.
Why couldn't Penelope understand?
Suddenly, Penelope slapped Seraphina hard across the face.
