From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 13: Do not provoke Fiona Her footsteps slowly cto a stop, but she still couldn't face the at person, she had fled from..

Nathan walked up behind her, "I saw you earlier, I thought I was seeing things, I was even afraid to acknowledge it. But it really is you, Penelope." She was picking up trash when he spotted her, and.

And she was clearly skilled at it, not like it was her first time.

"Penelope... How did you end up like this?" Nathan asked, "What have you been through all these years?" Once a bright and radiant girl, full of brilliance and manners, she was his dream girl.

Now, she seemed tired and weary.

"You've mistaken me," Penelope lowered her head.

"No, it's you, even if you turn to ashesashes, I would still recognize you!" She laughed mockingly, then abruptly turned around, "Yes, I am Penelope, the former fiancée of Mr. Smith. But now, we have nothing to do with each other. From now on, we are irrelevant. You go your sunny path and I'll cross my own bridge!" Once, Nathan and Penelope had a planned marriage.

But after the Cooper family had theiran incidentaccident, the Smith family unilaterally broke the engagement and quickly sent Nathan abroad to distance themselves from the situation.

That period of twas the most difficult in Penelope's life.

She ran back and forth between the prison, different hospitals, and police stations, desperately needing someone to help her and a shoulder to lean on..

That person should have been Nathan.

But she couldn't reach him on the phone, couldn't find him in person. The Smith family's gates were tightly shut, the security guards pushed her away... it was like everyone turned against her.

"No, Penelope, listen to me," Nathan reached out and grabbed her shoulder, "Going abroad was my dad's decision. He said that I had toforto gain experience first, and only once I hadwhen I have a successful career couldan I marry you. I agreed to go abroad for a better life for you!" Nathan tried to sound convincing...

"Going abroad means you can't answer a phone call? It was likeLike you vanished into thin air? Not even a moment to tellwhat was going on?" Penelope said getting slightly emotional.

"The situation at that time..." he trailed off.

"Enough," Penelope interrupted him, "I don't want to hear anymore, it's all in the past now." She had long given up on Nathan.

Profoundly disappointed, Penelope waved his hand from her shoulder and turned to leave.

"Penelope!" Nathan raised his voice slightly.

"Don't follow me!" she shouted, "The last person I want to see right now is you!" Nathan stood frozen in place, watching her disappear from his line of sight.

"Mr. Smith, your appointment with Mr. Davis is coming up," the assistant reminded him.

"Alright. Go find out what Penelope has been through in the past two years," Mr. Smith instructed.

"Yes, Mr. Smith." Was the assistants reply.

Penelope arrived at Tthe Davis and heard Ryan say, "Mrs. Davis, you finally showed up. Mr. Davis has been looking for you!" "I'll go in right away." Inside the CEO's office, Kelvin lazily leaned back in his chair, continuously sizing her up. Penelope felt uneasy under his gaze, "Is there something...?" she tried to ask.

"Take off your clothes." She was taken aback, "What...what?" "Do I need to repeat myself? Or should I do it myself?" was Kelvins straight answer.

Uncertain of his intentions, Penelope bit her lip and unbuttoned her shirt, slowly taking it off.

"Turn around." She complied.

A long bloodstain snaked from her shoulder to her waist on her fair back, a horrifying sight.

Penelope involuntarily trembled, her skin breaking out in goosebumps.

"Do you insist on enduring this physical suffering?" Kelvin walked over, his calloused fingertips resting on the wound, "Are you unable to differentiate between good and bad, as a woman?" "A man may be killed, but never humiliated." Was Penelope's somewhat prideful answer.

"You do have sbackbone," he sneered, "I wonder if you can hold on next time?" Penelope replied, "Kelvin, compared to torturing my body, you actually want to trample on my self-respect and pride, don't you...?" Planning your weekend reading?

Kelvin said as an involuntary smile appeared on his face.

He pressed his fingertips slightly into the newly scabbed wound, causing Penelope to shudder with pain.

"Don't provoke Fiona, whatever she says, you must endure," Kelvin warned, "Do you hear me?" "I hear you." Penelope acknowledged his request.

A knock on the door could be heard from outside, "Mr. Davis, the your client you scheduled is here." "Cin." was the the answer given in his usual business manner.

He grabbed his shirt and threw it at Penelope's face, "Go in and get dressed." She hurriedly ran into the lounge.

This private area connected to the office was very discreet, and had everything one would need to be comfortable..

Penelope rummaged through scupboards and found the medicine box, feeling relieved.

She could apply the medicine without spending any money.

Outside, Kelvin sat with his legs crossed on the couch, watching Nathan walk in.

"Mr. Davis, nice to meet you," Nathan politely greeted, "I've cthis twith full sincerity for our cooperation." "Please, have a seat." Was Kelvins distant reply.

The Davis had numerous industries, with jewelry being one of the main pillars, bringing in billions in profit every year for The the Davis.

and And now, Kelvin is not only limited to supplying jewelry materials, but the rumors were that The Davis also wanteds to establish a jewelry brand and face consumers directly.

Kelvin took the folder containing the drawings.it. The office was is very quiet in this time, with only the sound of paper turning.

In the lounge, Penelope, who hads boxom used taken theher medication, pickeds up the medicine box and prepareds to put it back in place, but her hand slipslippeds and the box fell.alls. "Bang!" Things scatter on the floor.

Nathan heard the loud noise.

But Kelvin acted as if nothing happened and continued to look at the jewelry design.

"Mr. Davis," Nathan couldn't help but remind him, "What was that sound?" He casually replied, "Nothing, just a mouse."

Penelope was stunned for two seconds, she quickly squatted down to clean up, and another set of m rustling sounds could be heard from within the enclosed areaout. "The mouse seems to be quite rampant," Nathan coughed, "Mr. Davis can buy a trap." Kelvin raised an eyebrow, "Good idea." A frightened Penelope placedut the medicine box back in the cupboard she had taken it from,a distance, covering her pounding heart.

After more than ten minutes, she didn't hear any sound outside.

"I should be able to go out now..." she murmured to herself, "and see the situation." Penelope walked to the door as quietly as possible, slowly pushing the door open a crack to peep look outside.

This angle however did not provide a good view of cannot see the reception area.

She pushed the door open a little bit more, sticking out half of her head, looking to the right, she saw no one.

Looking to the left...

She caught sight of a black suit jacket.

Penelope slowly raised her head, only to see Kelvin smirking with his lips curled up, "What are you looking at?" Chapter 14: What's Your Relationship with Nathan
