Chapter 70: This is who you really are?
"Pe — Penny?" Nina meticulously wiped the remaining tears from the corner of her eyes and timely hiccuped. "Penny, what are you doing here?"
Penny’s expression was blank while carrying the tray. Nina’s eyes fell on the tray and mentally smirked.
’Did she bring me snacks to appease me?’
"Nina." Penny’s voice was low and for some reason, her tone alone caused the temperature to drop. When Nina lifted her eyes to her, her body intuitively stiffened as if it sensed immediate danger.
"This game you’re playing..." said Penny as she took a step forward.
Nina intuitively took a step back but then stopped. She held her feet still and sported a brave look. Hence, Penny eventually got closed until the tray between them was touching their stomach.
When Penny leaned forward and whispered in her ear, a sense of dread crept up her spine. Penny’s voice was even more quiet, but she felt the bloodlust laced in it.
"... is not a game you’d like to play. You have a lot of things to lose. I have none. Do this again and don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Penny slowly drew her head back. Her naturally adorable face paled in comparison to the coldness and ruthlessness in her eyes.
"Consider yourself warned, Nina Reed. This is the first and last you’re going to touch this family."
After saying her piece, Penny turned around and strode off.
Nina, who was left frozen, held her breath until her neck turned taut. She slowly balled her hands into a tight fist until her knuckles turned white. Glaring at the door, she clenched her teeth and slammed it closed.
