Chapter 60: My money’s on you!
Being wrongfully accused was something Penny had gone through countless times in her life. Starting from the Cortez Household, the Bennet’s, and everywhere. Even how she ended up in prison, it was due to being wrongfully accused. It was all the same pattern. Hence, she could see through Patricia like an open book.
An arrogant young lady like her wouldn’t be so forthcoming unless she had an evil plan laid out. Penny might not know, nor did she care, about Patricia’s real motive, but she wouldn’t be the willing victim of some wicked plan.
A lesson learned she learned the hard way yet, a little too late.

Slater kept turning on the car seat as if his bottom was hurting. They’d been waiting for Penny, but until now, she hadn’t come out.
"Slater, will you stop moving around?" Annoyed, Atlas looked up at him. "If you’re worried about Penny, go get her."
"Who said I’m worried about her?!"
"Then, stop moving. You’re making me dizzy."
Slater frowned as he glanced at his big brother. As usual, Atlas was reading a book Slater would never understand. Thinking about the bet all day, he couldn’t even appreciate a day of not being bullied!
"Atlas..." he called worriedly. "Are you seriously going to do that bet?"
Atlas hummed a short tune.
