From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 116 The Unveiling of a Deception Kelvin was on the brink of lighting a cigarette when Fiona interjected, "Mr. Davis, you should really consider reducing your smoking; it's detrimental to your health. And besides, we're contemplating having another child; you should quit for the sake of preconception care." He responded with a slight frown.

Sensing his displeasure, Fiona quickly added, "But with the stress of work, an occasional cigarette won't hurt too much, right?" In an attempt to appease him, she reached for the lighter to ignite his cigarette. However, Kelvin suddenly lost the desire to smoke.

Fiona's comment had hit a nerve. Had he ever consented to planning for another child with her?"Mr. Davis..." Fiona stuttered, sensing tension, "Did I say something inappropriate?" Kelvin's expression cooled, "You're here because Penelope requested it." "Penelope?" Fiona questioned, only to be met with a confident nod from Penelope.

"Fiona, you just suffered a miscarriage and already you're eager to try again? Isn't that a bit hasty?" Penelope asked.

Fiona retorted, "This is a private matter between Mr. Davis and me. What business is it of yours?" Penelope calmly replied, "I'm merely reminding you to take care of your health." Fiona scoffed, "That's really none of your concern. So, what do you want? Do you think a simple apology can make amends? Letbe clear-it's not going to happen! I've laid out my terms, and unless you meet them, there will be no forgiveness!"Penelope couldn't help but find Fiona's defiant stance amusing. In a soft tone, she said, "I did nothing wrong. Why would I need your forgiveness?" Fiona challenged, "Feeling confident, are we, Penelope? So you're not going to apologize at all, then?" Penelope confirmed, "That's right." Fiona, exasperated, pointed at her, "Mr. Davis! Do you hear this? She's gone too far with her arrogance!" Kelvin remained composed. "Let her finish."Penelope stepped in front of Fiona, her voice soft but clear enough for everyone present to hear- "Fiona, I'm not apologizing because I've done nothing wrong. You never had a miscarriage because you were never pregnant!" Upon hearing this, shocked expressions painted every face in the room. Kelvin's piercing gaze swiftly met Penelope's, "What did you say? She wasn't pregnant?" Penelope confirmed, "That's right." Kelvin inquired further, "Then, where's the baby? Still there?" Penelope shook her head, "There was never a baby to begin with. No pregnancy, no miscarriage."Kelvin stood up abruptly, a vein throbbing on his forehead, his face stern and foreboding. "Penelope, you can't just spout nonsense!" Penelope challenged him, "Can't you face the truth? Kelvin, you sit on your high throne, untouchable, yes-nobody dares to deceive or defy you. Nobody can accept such deceit beside you. But Fiona has fooled you with such ease." Kelvin demanded, "Evidence! Without it, it's just hearsay!" Penelope confidently replied, "I've said enough. If you want to know the truth, a simple check will reveal it all, won't it?"Fiona was stunned.

"No... You, you're spouting nonsense!" Fiona immediately denied, her voice presenting a shrill tone of desperation, "Penelope, to avoid responsibility, you're fabricating lies to slander me!" Penelope calmly responded, "Slander you?" Fiona retorted, "Yes! You make wild accusations! Mr. Davis asked you for evidence, and you... you have none!" Fiona was in utter panic. Her fake pregnancy and staged miscarriage had always been a tightly kept secret, known by very few! At the hospital, her father had even made sure everyone was tight-lipped... How did Penelope find out? Had someone betrayed her? No, impossible, Penelope didn't have the resources to buy anyone's loyalty! Thus, Fiona would never admit it!"Mr. Davis, don't listen to her!" Fiona turned to Kelvin, "She's delusional-she spent two years in a mental institution and has lost her clarity. You must not believe her words!" Kelvin's eyes were deep and inscrutable, making it impossible to guess his thoughts. His intense gaze was overwhelming for Fiona.

Fraught with guilt, she was now completely flustered, "Mr. Davis, you... you must believe me! You can check the records, ask the hospital, consult the doctors, instead of taking Penelope at her word." Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on nov L5sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

Seeing that Kelvin was silent, Fiona panicked and rushed towards him, but in her fear, her legs gave out, and she collapsed on the floor.

Scrambling back to her feet, she dropped to her knees and crawled over to Kelvin, sitting by his feet. "I didn't, I could never never deceive you) Mr.

Davis. adore you, dreaming of raising a family together. How could I ever do such a heartless thing?!"Kelvin remained silent.

Penelope quietly observed the scene. She knew that in his heart, Kelvin had a clear sense of right and wrong. Most people couldn't fool him. "Penelope!" Fiona pointed accusingly, "Stop causing trouble and ruining what Mr. Davis and I have! Now that I've had a miscarriage and there's no baby, you think you can just throw dirt on my nlike that?"

Penelope calmly responded, "The truth about whether I have thrown dirt on your nis something you know perfectly well.""You're all talk! Evidence, Penelope have you even bothered to investigate at the hospital?" Fiona raged, confident that her influential father had already smoothed things over. But to her surprise, Penelope just laughed. "Oh Fiona, always talking about hospital investigations, relying on those you've bribed to keep your dirty little secrets. Unfortunately, you've forgotten one crucial detail." Fiona, now anxious, asked, "What... what detail?" Penelope spoke firmly, "You don't need others to validate the truth. Whether a woman has been pregnant or had a miscarriage, these are things that can be determined medically. And if you truly had just miscarried, it would be all too easy to confirm. Do you understand?"

Fiona's face turned ashen. A checkup... She couldn't withstand a checkup!Forget the baby, right now... she was still untouched, never having been with aman bespite her past as aminor online celebrity, loving nightlife and bars, Fiona held onto the idea that purity was still important for a woman. Especially since she ambitiously aimed to snag a wealthy man and marry into affluence, so she had always been particularly cautious about her romantic affairs. Yet today, that very caution becthe evidence Penelope used to unravel her charade! The fact that she was still a virgin could reveal so much more than just a false miscarriage! It would show Kelvin that she wasn't the woman from that night. Once discovered, her charade would be utterly ruined.Penelope continued, "The most direct and quickest way is to have a gynecological examination. Fiona, do you dare?" Fiona was petrified, on the brink of collapse. How could she dare to undergo an examination? But could she really just admit to the truth? In sheer panic, Fiona's eyes darted around frantically, her mind racing for a way out.
