Chapter 555 Sam, Explain Yourself Penelope grabbed her hair in frustration and yelled, "Alright, everyone, just shut up!" The whole jewelry department office went dead silent the moment she shouted.
Penelope was usually pretty chill and got along with everyone unless someone was really pushing her buttons.
But today, she was in a really bad mood.
First, she found out all the shady stuff Kelvin had been up to behind her back.
And to top it off, she was getting divorced tomorrow.
"I'm sorry," Penelope said, "I just need to be alone." She stormed out.
Honestly, Penelope had no idea where to go.
She was totally lost.
Her mind was a complete mess.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEventually, she ended up at the kindergarten.
The security guard at the gate asked, "Hey there, who are you here for? Which kid's parent are you?" "I..." Penelope touched her face.
She hadn't put on any disguise today, so she couldn't see Lucy.
"I'm Sam's mom," Penelope said, "I just wanted to see him." Whenever she felt lost and helpless, thinking about and seeing her kids always gave her ssense of stability. Sam was a bit puzzled when his teacher told him his mom was there to see him.
After all, in LA, not many people knew who his mom was! Walking out of the classroom and seeing Penelope standing there, Sam blinked and rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't dreaming! He ran over and hugged her leg, "Why are you here? Are you pickingup? But it's not tto leave yet!" Penelope squatted down and patted his head, "I just missed you, so I cto see you." Sam looked at her for a few seconds, then grabbed her hand, "Con." He walked ahead quickly like a little adult.
Penelope followed him, "Sam, where are you taking me?" "You'll see," Sam said.
Even though it was just a kindergarten, it was huge and felt like a maze.
Sam led her through a bunch of turns and finally into a small store.
He pulled out his student card, "Hi, can I get two bottles of milk?" Sam held the milk in one hand and Penelope's hand in the other, leading her to a window.
The big and the small sat side by side.
Sam, being super thoughtful, opened the milk and stuck a straw in it, "Here, have smilk." Penelope smiled, her eyes turning into little crescents.
Having a son was pretty awesome.
"This is really good," she said, playing along, "Thanks, Sam." "No problem," Sam said, "You seem upset! What's wrong? Tell me." Penelope didn't even know where to start, let alone vent to Sam.
But she did have something she wanted to ask him! "Sam," Penelope said, biting the straw, "When you were with the Walkers, did you notice anything off about Isabella?" "Yeah, I told you before, she's a bad woman, and she's in cahoots with Madison," Sam said.
"I mean in her daily life," Penelope said, "Isabella was poisoned, a slow-acting poison, and it's supposed to kick in tonight. I can't figure out how she got poisoned." How did Kelvin pull it off? That was the Walker family, with Brandon's people or Isabella's confidants always around.
It was tough to bribe anyone! Sam suddenly choked and started coughing loudly, his face turning red! Penelope quickly patted his back, "Drink slowly." It took Sam a while to catch his breath, "You just said..." "Isabella was poisoned. You've been at the Walker family every day. Did you notice anything weird? And you didn't eat anything random, did you?" Penelope's voice was filled with worry. Slow-acting poison had to be ingested through food or something similar, accumulating over time. Sam wouldn't be affected, would he? Should they go to the hospital for a check-up? "I'm perfectly fine!" Sam waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm super healthy!" What a joke! Isabella being "successfully poisoned" was mostly thanks to Sam! He was the one who poisoned her; how could he poison himself? He wasn't that dumb! Besides, without him, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly and unnoticed! Sam didn't want Penelope to know.
But, as a parent, the most worrying thing was the child's health.
"No, you still have to go to the hospital with me," Penelope thought for a moment, still uneasy, "for a full-body check-up." "I'm really fine," Sam insisted.
"I'll believe you're fine when the test results so!" Penelope said as she reached out to pick up Sam.
"Wait," Sam asked, "How did you know about Isabella being poisoned?" Did Kelvin tell her? Why did he suddenly spill the beans? He didn't even give him a heads-up! "Kelvin told me," Penelope replied, "I just found out today." If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the

Penelope suddenly stared at Sam, "I remember, when you cto the King Manor, you were alone with Kelvin in the study?" "Yes, yes," Sam's eyes started to wander, "then you ctoo." "What were you talking about?" Penelope asked.
"Nothing much," Sam said.
The more Penelope thought about it, the more something felt off.
Something was swirling in her mind, about to break out.
But she couldn't remember! Seeing Penelope deep in thought, Sam started to panic.
He hoped she wouldn't really remember anything.
"Sam," Penelope suddenly looked at him very seriously, "confess." "Huh?" Sam said.
"What were you and Kelvin doing secretly in the study?" Penelope asked, "You know
he's your dad, you don't like him, and I've told you to avoid him, but why did you still go to him and spend talone?" Sam blinked his clear eyes, "I was just passing by the study, and Uncle Kelvin askedto cin and sit." She knew her son best! Seeing Sam's innocent look, Penelope knew he was lying! He was making it up! The more innocent he acted, the more suspicious it was! "I'm asking you one last time," Penelope said, "Will you confess, or should I investigate? If you don't tell me, Kelvin will!" Sam still kept his lips tightly shut, refusing to say a word.
"Fine," Penelope said, taking out her phone in front of him, I call Relvin right now!
