Chapter 1468: Let them come at us
Meanwhile...
"How is it?" Penny asked, arms crossed as she stood among her guests, watching the event from the railing.
Yugi, standing beside her, shook his head. "There’s nothing I can do at the moment."
"..." Penny kept her mouth shut, though a big smile spread across her face as she turned to the group. "My dearest guests, I’ll be stepping away for a while. Please do enjoy the event."
With that, Penny turned, her smile vanishing almost immediately. As she walked off, Atlas, who was among the guest arched a brow while following his sister’s figure with his gaze.
Meanwhile, Teddy and Hayley quickly followed their boss.
"Hayley, stay here," she ordered, stopping Hayley in her tracks.
Hayley lowered her head without a word, stealing a glance at Penny’s expression. Noticing the whispered exchanges between Penny and Yugi, she could sense something was off. Penny wouldn’t wear that face if everything were fine.
Hayley turned on her heel, forcing a smile, knowing she had to fill in for Penny and keep the guests entertained. But as she approached the group, she stopped near Patricia and Shawn.
"Follow her," she said to Patricia, causing the latter’s brows to rise. "It’s better if one of you stays here."
"Huh?" Patricia blinked, confused, as Hayley walked past. She glanced at Shawn, who simply shrugged.
"I don’t know what’s going on," he said.
