Chapter 362

Penny really got sick this time.

For three days straight, she had a low fever.

She was out of it, mumbling weird stuff now and then.

This version of Penny freaked Judith out.

She called doctors, the best ones, more than one:

But after a full check–up, everyone said Penny wasn’t sick.

Not sick, but still feverish?

Finally, an expert said that Penny’s issues seemed to stem from emotional distress In simple terms, it was a heart issue, beyond medical treatment A heart issue?

Judith remembered the odd vibe between Eason and Penny that day, having a faint realization She bit her lip, thinking of dragging Eason back, even if it meant forcing him.

But before she could act, a gentle voice spoke up.

“Mom” Penny’s voice was soft Judith quickly turned to look at her.

“Tm better now” Penny said calmly, “Sorry to make you worried Judith saw her improved complexion and was a bit surprised. “That’s good. I was about to call Eason back.”

“Mom, I’m okay” Penny said understandingly, “Eason is busy No need to bother him “Busy or not, is it more important than his sister? Judith raised an eyebrow “Besides he’s the reason for your “Mom, you really misunderstood” Penny hurriedly said. “My sickness is my own fault hot Easons Really, no need to trouble him Judith, seeing her anxiety, reluctantly agreed Penny smiled then, but her eyes flickered with emotions She had been out of it for days, but now she was totally clear headed Join Chatroom ‘Eason was thoroughly disappointed in me.

‘If I kept acting up, using Mom’s favoritism, I’d only push Eason further away.”

Penny always thought her biggest advantage wasn’t her intelligence.

It was her ability to endure.

Previously, seeing that reconciling with Susan was inevitable, she immediately chose to forget past grievances and befriended Susan.

This time, her secret actions were discovered by Eason, making her situation critical once again.

‘All I could do was endure.

‘I had to keep enduring, to regain Eason’s trust, and then plot to sabotage his relationship with Emma.

‘Besides enduring, I had to show sincerity to appease Eason.

Penny had thought everything through.

She lowered her eyes and said softly, “Mom, I actually did something wrong.”

Penny suddenly confessed to this.

Judith was surprised, “What did you do?”

Penny trembled slightly, then she said, “I… I hired someone to investigate Emma.”

Judith’s pupils dilated, suddenly understanding why Eason was so angry last time.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”

Penny pursed her lips, “Eason is the future heir of Tonico. And Emma is just a common person. I was worried he was being deceived.”

Judith thought for a moment and sighed, “You meant well, but it’s normal for Eason to be angry.”

Penny looked scared, “That’s not the only mistake I made.”

Judith covered her chest, “What else did you do?”

Penny whispered, “I discovered Emma is struggling with severe depression and still deeply attached to her ex. Concerned Eason might get played, I secretly arranged for her ex to re–enter her life. But Eason found out, and that’s why he’s so upset.”

At this, Judith was at a loss for words.

Penny’s revelation was overwhelming, Judith needed time to process it all.

55% 09:51 பட “Mom, I… I just felt she wasn’t worthy of Eason,” Penny said helplessly, Eason got so angry, I realized he truly loves her. I’ll never dare to do such a thing again.”

Judith looked at Penny and felt helpless.

She considered herself quite open–minded.

Yet, the information revealed by Penny’s words made her hesitant.

‘Does Emma have depression?”

From Eason’s mother’s perspective, Judith’s doubts were inevitable.

Judith couldn’t help thinking, “Was such Emma really suitable for Eason?

“Even if Eason doesn’t inherit the throne, his life is bound to face challenges.

‘Emma, with her depression, can she weather the storm with Eason?

Judith herself was hesitant after knowing about Emma, somewhat understanding Penny’s perspective.

However, Penny’s actions were still wrong, regardless.

Judith hesitated for a moment and said, “I know you mean well for Eason. But plotting behind someone’s back is still too much.”

“I know,” Penny quickly responded. “That’s why I’m planning to turn myself in and apologize to Emma face–to–face.”

‘Turn herself in?

Judith was surprised. “You, a princess, are going to turn yourself in for something like this?”

People always have their blases.

In Judith’s mind, ‘Penny’s actions weren’t that serious.

‘At worst, a private apology would suffice.

‘Turning herself in would unjustly tarnish her own reputation.”

“Mom, I did something wrong, so I need to be punished,” Penny insisted. “I’ve thought it through, and I’m going to turn myself in right now.”

With Penny’s firm stance, Judith had no other options.

True to her word, Penny turned herself in that very day.

She went to the police station and honestly confessed everything.

After verifying her confession, the police informed Eason and Emma.

Eason and Emma weren’t together when they received the news.

They each rushed over, coincidentally meeting at the entrance of the police station.

Their eyes met.

Emma looked bewildered. She genuinely had no idea what was happening..

Eason had an inkling but still found it hard to believe.

Eason thought to himself, ‘I went against my conscience to help Penny hide this.

“She actually turned herself in?”

They hurried into the police station.

The police brought Penny out.

‘Miss Garcia. Miss Nicholas has admitted that she orchestrated Jeremy’s deliberate approach toward you,” said the officer.

“Penny?” Emma looked at Penny in surprise.

Penny pursed her lips and walked straight up to Emma.

Penny had done something wrong.

So, Eason instinctively stepped in front of Emma.

Penny looked at Eason with a hint of sadness, “Eason, do you think I would harm Miss Garcia?”

Eason didn’t respond.

Penny truly felt hurt this time.

She looked at Eason with defiance in her eyes. “I know I messed up. This time, I’m here to apologize.”

Behind Eason, Emma peeked out, genuinely clueless. “What happened?”

Penny bowed sincerely to Emma and then said, “Miss Garcia, I’m sorry. I Investigated your background on my own. Because of that information, I thought you and Eason weren’t a good match. That’s why had Jeremy approach you. I don’t dare to ask for your forgiveness. I’m ready to face any consequences.”

Penny remained bowed.

Emma was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
