Chapter 556 Sam, That's Poison "Whoa, whoa, chill out!" Sam jumped in, "Take a breath, smile a bit, don't be so intense." "I'll give you one minute." Penelope pulled out her phone, set the timer, and casually started sipping her milk.

It was pretty good.

Sam's face twisted with inner turmoil.

"Alright, alright," he muttered, "I'll spill." Penelope stopped the timer.

"It waswho poisoned Isabella," Sam confessed.

Penelope nearly choked. "You? Sam, what did you just say?" She couldn't keep her voice down, it cout sharp.

Realizing they were in a small supermarket, Penelope lowered her voice, "Say that again? It was you?" How did Sam pull it off? Where did he get the poison? And why target Isabella? "Yeah, it was me." Sam nodded, trying to shift the blame, "But listen, it was actually Uncle Kelvin who putup to it." "Kelvin?" Penelope echoed.

"Yeah, he gavethe poison and showedhow to mix it into Isabella's food, just enough each day so no one would noticed," Sam explained.

Penelope was stunned.

Was Isabella's poisoning really a team effort between Kelvin and Sam? These two were really in sync! "So, that day when you and Kelvin were in the study, you were plotting this? And you agreed? Both of you kept it from me?" Penelope asked.

"Calm down, calm down," Sam grinned, "Uncle Kelvin said it had to be a secret, and it was poison, super dangerous. I didn't want to scare you or make you worry, so I kept quiet!" He said it so casually.

Penelope grabbed his ear, "You're really something, you know that? You're gonna drivenuts!" "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Sam yelped.

"You need to learn your lesson!" Penelope scolded.

Sam looked pitiful, "You finally see me, and you go all violent? I'm so unlucky." Penelope was both angry and helpless. "Sam, you knew it was poison! Weren't you scared?" Penelope was now terrified just thinking about it.

What if Sam accidentally ingested it? What if Isabella found out and made Sam eat the poisoned food? One small mistake and Sam would be in danger! Isabella was no saint, she was ruthless! "No, I wasn't scared." Sam replied, "I was more afraid that Lucy would never wake up and that you'd be stuck in the King Manor, unable to cback to our small town." With that, Penelope's anger cooled a bit.

Seeing this, Sam thought, this tactic works! He quickly continued, "I just wanted to help you. We know Isabella's bad news, but we can't do anything about her. Should we let her keep being a jerk? Uncle Kelvin asked for my help. He said only I could do it without getting caught. So I agreed. I wanted to do something for you and Lucy. I was super careful, Isabella still doesn't know it waswho poisoned her, only Uncle Kelvin and I know. Now, you know, too." Sam then threw himself into her arms, "You were so scary just now." Penelope sighed, "I'm worried about you, Sam. You're still a kid; you shouldn't be mixed up in all this adult ." A kid's world should be simple and innocent.

No dark stuff.

But honestly, Sam was way more mature than Penelope ever imagined! If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free.

He wasn't scared, didn't think about the fallout! He just wanted to protect his family! That's what Sam thought, but he said, "Alright, alright, no more next time." "Really? No more next time?" Penelope asked.

"Really." Sam said, "You and Lucy won't get messed with by bad people again! I promise!" He patted his chest, looking all proud.

Kelvin was unreliable, too dumb, and lacked guts.

He had to be the one to hold the family together! Penelope ruffled his hair, "It's my job to protect you. I'm the grown-up, and I'm your mom." "But you're a girl. Boys should protect girls; it's just how it is!" Sam said.

Penelope laughed, clinking her milk with his, "Alright, our little man, cheers." "Cheers!" Sam said.

After seeing Sam, Penelope felt way better.

She sent Sam back to class, "Finish the last two periods strong, bye-bye." "Bye-bye!" Sam said.

Sam even blew her a kiss, his playful manner making everyone smile.

Being a mom and having a kid, her heart and eyes were full of this little guy.

"Mrs. Davis, I'll turn on the ventilation system," the butler quickly said, "Please wait a moment." Kelvin didn't expect her back so soon, his face showed surprise.

Cigarettes and a lighter were scattered on the coffee table, the ashtray was overflowing with butts, and ashes had fallen on the carpet.

Penelope just glanced at it, and the servants swiftly cleaned it up.

"I..." Kelvin started, "I thought you wouldn't cback, so I smoked." He tried to explain.

Though he felt it wasn't necessary.

Penelope looked at him, "In a few hours, Isabella will be poisoned, right?" "Yeah." Kelvin said.

"How did you pull it off? How did the poison get into her system?" Penelope asked.

Kelvin replied, "I have my ways."

"What ways?" Penelope pressed, "Using Sam, a kid, as your partner in crfor something so dangerous?" She laid it out bluntly.

Kelvin slowly stood up, "You know everything."

"Yes! I saw Sam! He admitted it! Kelvin, he's just a kid; how could you give him such a task? What if something went wrong? Could you handle it? How would you explain it to Sam's parents?" Penelope's anger was all aimed at Kelvin.

She couldn't blSam; he was just a fearless kid.

And the poison cfrom Kelvin! "You're really something, Kelvin, using Sam for your schemes," Penelope gritted her teeth, "To get what you want, you'll use anyone, won't you!"
