"Penny, stop this! I’m sorry — ah!"
Clang!
Thud!
"Ah!" Nina winced, turning her palm to see blood on it. The tears in her eyes flooded her face as she dramatically held her hand, gazing up at Penny pitifully.
"Penny..." she sobbed. "Why did you do this to me? I already said I was sorry."
"Miss Nina!"
At the same time, Butler Jen’s voice rang in the dining room. Following his voice was another familiar voice and Allison.
"Nina!" an elderly woman called in panic and Allison’s voice.
In no time, more people crowded the dining area. Penny caught the elderly woman rushing to Nina’s side. The latter’s complexion paled at the sight of blood.
"Oh, my goodness!" the elderly woman yelled. "Butler Jen! Get her a bandage!"
Out of panic, Butler Jen took out his own handkerchief and handed it to the old lady. After giving it to her, he yelled for a maid to get more first aid for Nina’s injury.
"Oh, my god." Allison covered her lips and immediately squatted beside Nina. "Nina, what’s happening — why...?"
Nina pitifully looked up at her mother and timely hiccuped. "Mom..." she slowly turned to Penny, making everyone look in Penny’s direction. "I was just apologizing to Penny about the notes I was borrowing from her, but she got upset." ƒrēewebnovel.com
She hiccuped once more before she sported a brave front. "But please, don’t be upset with Penny. She’s just a little frustrated that she unintentionally vented it on me. I’m okay." Her brave facade cracked a little, showing the bitterness in her eyes.
"Penny, I’m sorry about the note, but it’s not good to be violent," she said, now looking at Penny. "I know you’re the real daughter of the Bennet Family and you’re right that I’m just the fake one — the outsider. But know that I didn’t want this to happen as well. If I know I’m not the real daughter, then I wouldn’t be so shameless as to live this life lavishly."
Everything that Nina said brought mixed feelings to everyone present at the moment. Butler Jen and Allison couldn’t help but furrow their brows. What Nina was insinuating was something they didn’t expect Penny would do or something that Penny would ever do and say.
But Allison’s mother, Old Mrs. Roswald, had yet to meet Penny. Although she already heard lots of good things about the real daughter of Allison and Charles, she wanted to be the judge herself. This was not what she was expecting.
"Oh, my poor little girl." the old grandma’s heart broke at Nina’s remarks. ’She must be having a difficult time after the mix-up.’
Although the Roswald and the Bennet Family were very keen on blood relations, it would be a stretch to say they could easily forget about their granddaughter. Nina had been with them and she was such a sweet child.
When the old grandma lifted her gaze, her face crumpled in displeasure. "Allison, is this what you said when you told me your real daughter is a well-mannered kid?! How can she hurt other children just because she carries the Bennet and Roswald name?!"
