From Hatred to Passionate Love
Chapter 56 You and Penelope Are Plotting Against Me

Given her current appearance and her cloying tone and expression, to be quite honest, it was rather off putting. Kelvin found himself becoming more and more disgusted with her. If it weren't for his promise to marry her that night, he would have never looked at a woman like Fiona.

"Who did this to you?" he asked.

"Fiona blurted out, "Penelope!"

"Her?"

"Did she come to see me? Is there something?" Just then, Penelope walked down the stairs and saw Fiona's appearance. She exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, are you role- playing? Or are you guest-starring as a homeless person in a play?"

Fiona pointed at her, accusing, "Penelope, stop pretending! You know very well why I ended up like this!"

"I don't understand what you're saying," Penelope covered her nose, "The smell is too strong, it's contaminating the air."

Fiona seethed, her face contorted as she retorted, "Don't think I don't know! It was you who put a sack over my head and assaulted, then threw me into the garbage truck. No one else would do such a thing to me except you!"

"Do you have any evidence?"

"No! But it must be you, it must be you!"

Penelope merely shrugged: "You're making baseless accusations. You yourself said that with a sack over your head, you couldn't see anything at all. Fiona, you can't pull of this act."

Monica was right, dealing with Fiona meant being more shameless than her. Attempting to reason with her proved futile.

"Investigate! The truth can be uncovered!" Fiona turned to Kelvin. "Mr. Davis, you are so powerful, quickly send someone to replace evidence and silence her."

Kelvin only pursed his lips, remaining silent.

Penelope responded, "I can explain. I've been working at the company all day today, and in the afternoon, I was with Ms. Perez. We have witnesses and evidence."

"You and that Monica are in cahoots. Of course, she would stand by your side!"

"Speaking of which, she is not only my friend but also my superior. There is no logical reason for her to accompany me in such an absurd endeavor."

Fiona couldn't argue anymore.

However, she wasn't ready to give up and stomped her foot, "Mr. Davis, please help me..."

"Understood." Kelvin dismissed, "You should wash up first, since you're so dirty." Fiona reluctantly nodded.

Penelope struggled to hold back her laughter and not reveal herself.

It had to be said, it was indeed satisfying.

"Immature." Kelvin glanced at her and spoke calmly.

"Who are you calling immature?"

"You," he raised an eyebrow, "Is pranking others fun? Just because she recorded something and came to me to complain, you resorted to these methods against her?" Penelope clenched her teeth.

He immediately knew it was her doing.

But so, what? She wouldn't admit it, and no one could prove her guilt!

"It wasn't me." Penelope blinked, feigning innocence. "I've been with Monica all this entire time, busy working and discussing 'Adoring Cupid.' Where would I replace the time to prank someone?"

Monica was protected by Timothy, and Kelvin wouldn't easily harm her. However, Fiona took advantage of Kelvin's tolerance and kept causing trouble.

Kelvin growing increasingly annoyed with her antics finally said, "Go to the Davis Group tomorrow and ask Monica yourself."

Fiona actually went.

She had once dragged Penelope away in front of their colleagues at the infamous Davis Group. So, when she appeared in the "Adoring Cupid" jewelry department, everyone retreated.

Monica wasn't afraid of her, "Hey hey hey, where did this cheap person come from? We don't welcome your kind here."

"I was just looking for you, Monica. You and Penelope were the ones who pranked me yesterday!"

Monica's acting skills were better than Penelope's, and her words carried more weight. "Haha, who do you think you are? I'm the director, and she's the chief designer. Do we really need to waste our time dealing with someone like you, just a mistress? Who do you think you are?" Monica smirked.

"Fine, okay, you two can team up!" She glanced at Penelope beside her. "Don't get too smug. Next time, I will make sure to get back at you twice as hard!"

Monica blocked Penelope and lifted her chin. "Retract your hand, don't point around recklessly. This is not the place for your madness."

"This is the Davis Group! Mr. Davis's place! I am the future Mrs. Davis!"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. It's the first time I've heard someone call themselves the future Mrs. Davis." Laughter echoed from the crowd nearby.

Fiona's face contorted with. She was all talk, unable to argue with Penelope normally, let alone compete with Monica. She felt mocked and humiliated.

The more she thought about it, the angrier Fiona became. She raised her hand and attempted to slap Monica's face. "You bitch! I will make sure you can't work at the Davis Group in the future... Ah! It hurts!"

Monica swiftly grabbed her wrist, twisted it back, nearly breaking her bones. "You want to hit me? You were too slow!"

As Monica prepared to strike back, a hand reached out and stopped her. "Stop." The entire office quieted down as this man appeared.

It was Kelvin.

"Mr. Davis!" Fiona saw a glimmer of hope. "You told me to investigate the truth, but this woman wouldn't let me in and even attempted to hit me!"

Monica regretted not acting faster. If she had, she could have given Fiona a taste of her own medicine.

"So you're Mr. Davis." Monica withdrew her hand. "It's against company rules to create

a disturbance. I was just following the rules. Besides, she made the first move."

Fiona quickly spoke up. "She cursed at me first! Mr. Davis, I want her to apologize!"

"Hah! Dream on!"

Kelvin's expression turned cold as he glanced at Penelope.

Penelope didn't look at him or utter a word. Her eyes were darted around, signaling that she wasn't involved in this matter.

As the situation reached an impasse, Timothy walked in from the door. "What's going on here, such a commotion?"

Seeing these people up close and Monica's expression, Timothy understood what was happening.

He was here to handle the situation.

"Kelvin, can I apologize on behalf of Monica?" Timothy pulled him to the side.

Kelvin glanced at him. "Handle your woman properly."

"Huh?" They were just friends!

Yet inexplicably, Timothy felt a bit pleased.

Kelvin turned and left, and Fiona quickly followed. "Mr. Davis, why did you leave so abruptly..."

Timothy looked at Monica and asked, "Ladies, how did you manage to upset Fiona again?"
