Penny leaned against the couch defeatedly. In fact, she realized deep within her that it was animpossible feat, but she felt discontented to give up without trying. At last, she could finally surrender toreality.

"Why did you come over, then?"

Eugene reconfirmed with her, "Did you hire thugs to rob Olivia?"

As soon as Penny heard that, she suddenly widened her tightly-shut eyes and her hackles were raised;she was on defensive mode. "You're quite relentless about that matter, huh? Is slapping me across theface and kicking my shin not enough for you? What else do you want from me? Do you want to toss meinto prison as well?"

At that moment, Eugene's brows tightly furrowed as he stared at her brazen yet righteous manner. "Ifyou were the one who instructed Olivia to be harmed and have her life taken, then I won't hesitate insending you to prison! Just so you know, I'm not f*cking joking!"

Momentarily stunned by the firm look in his eyes, Penny was rendered completely speechless.

Suddenly, the tears pooled in her eyes and her vision became blurry; she could no longer see his faceclearly.

Eugene continued indifferently, "Even a kid would know that the defendant is always the first whostrikes. Olivia has never done anything to offend you, yet you've nearly caused her death!Imprisonment would not be a sufficient punishment for what you've done."

Penny smiled through her tears. "So, does that mean that I should thank you for being lenient? I guessyou're here today to send me into prison, huh? What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

She rose to her feet as she spoke and attempted to walk out. "Sit your *ss down!"

Penny stopped in her tracks and stopped moving forward, but she did not return seated either. Instead,she stared at him defiantly with her head up in the air.

Eugene saw her defiant look and could not seem to suppress his simmering anger once again.However, he was aware that he should not allow the vicious cycle to continue.

Presently, she held a grudge against him and was easily triggered as soon as he mentioned Olivia, sohe knew he had to avoid pushing her buttons.

As such, he spoke in a neutral tone with his best efforts. "Penny, let's be fair to each other here. You'vegot to be reasonable, okay? Even though I've been harboring hatred against your mom all these years,I've never taken out my anger on you and pulled you into it because I regard you as my younger sister.I understand that you're innocent in all these while the actions of your parents have nothing to do withyou at all. That's also why I'm seated here right now. If it was anyone else that had done that, I wouldnot hesitate to give them a taste of their own medicine. At the very least, I stopped the cops from takingyou to the station when they wanted to interrogate you. Whatever it is—whether you understand mypoint or not—I do not have a guilty conscience!"

Meanwhile, the tears streamed down Penny's face once again as she remained silent.

"You're always going on and on about how heartless I am, but even so, I've only taken action againstthose who've harmed the ones around me. I can't imagine how cold-blooded and cruel you could be toactually harm an innocent person's life. You went after Olivia repeatedly… But what has she even doneto you? I've been seeking for my wife and kids for the past seven years and they are way closer to methan any of the rest of you. You noticed how badly wounded Olivia was, didn't you? She was

surrounded by a pack of wolfhounds while drugged! She is very blessed to still be alive. When I arrivedon scene, the wolfhounds pounced at me and I was only lucky enough to have armed policemen withme to shoot them. Otherwise, what makes you think I had a shot at rescuing her? Do you realize howpained I was to see the wounds on her? What if someone did the same thing to the person you loved?How would you feel then?"

Sha rosa to har faat as sha spoka and attamptad to walk out. "Sit your *ss down!"

Panny stoppad in har tracks and stoppad moving forward, but sha did not raturn saatad aithar. Instaad,sha starad at him dafiantly with har haad up in tha air.

Eugana saw har dafiant look and could not saam to supprass his simmaring angar onca again.Howavar, ha was awara that ha should not allow tha vicious cycla to continua.

Prasantly, sha hald a grudga against him and was aasily triggarad as soon as ha mantionad Olivia, soha knaw ha had to avoid pushing har buttons.

As such, ha spoka in a nautral tona with his bast afforts. "Panny, lat's ba fair to aach othar hara. You'vagot to ba raasonabla, okay? Evan though I'va baan harboring hatrad against your mom all thasa yaars,I'va navar takan out my angar on you and pullad you into it bacausa I ragard you as my youngar sistar.I undarstand that you'ra innocant in all thasa whila tha actions of your parants hava nothing to do withyou at all. That's also why I'm saatad hara right now. If it was anyona alsa that had dona that, I wouldnot hasitata to giva tham a tasta of thair own madicina. At tha vary laast, I stoppad tha cops from takingyou to tha station whan thay wantad to intarrogata you. Whatavar it is—whathar you undarstand mypoint or not—I do not hava a guilty conscianca!"

Maanwhila, tha taars straamad down Panny's faca onca again as sha ramainad silant.

"You'ra always going on and on about how haartlass I am, but avan so, I'va only takan action againstthosa who'va harmad tha onas around ma. I can't imagina how cold-bloodad and crual you could ba toactually harm an innocant parson's lifa. You want aftar Olivia rapaatadly… But what has sha avan donato you? I'va baan saaking for my wifa and kids for tha past savan yaars and thay ara way closar to mathan any of tha rast of you. You noticad how badly woundad Olivia was, didn't you? Sha wassurroundad by a pack of wolfhounds whila druggad! Sha is vary blassad to still ba aliva. Whan I arrivadon scana, tha wolfhounds pouncad at ma and I was only lucky anough to hava armad policaman withma to shoot tham. Otharwisa, what makas you think I had a shot at rascuing har? Do you raaliza howpainad I was to saa tha wounds on har? What if somaona did tha sama thing to tha parson you lovad?How would you faal than?"

Instantly, George's face popped up in Penny's mind as a tender look surfaced in her eyes at thatmoment. If someone harms George, I would very likely rip that person apart, I guess. But then, he'squite good on his feet, so there shouldn't be anyone who could harm him. I'm quite lucky to have himkeeping an eye on me during my trip to Mastar. Even though he keeps showing me an impatient look,he has never once abandoned me.

Despite her true feelings, she never got the chance to say goodbye to him. She had to return in a rushthanks to the shameful deeds her parents had done. Every night, she was drowned in a pool ofsadness and held back from texting him, hoping to receive the least bit of comfort she could get at thispoint in her life.
