Chapter 363
Dahlia darted her sharp gaze toward Penny, and the latter felt unprecedented fear as she could feel Dahlia’s hostility.
Penny had to admit that she would never stand toe-to-toe against Dahlia.
She might be street smart, but Dahlia was noble smart. She was crafty and tactful.
In fact, one of the reasons why Penny resented Dahlia was because this woman seemed to be able to capture Marlon’s heart despite constantly berating him for all of his misdeeds.
Dahlia grinned at Penny, "Do you think I don’t know that you spiked my son’s drink, street whore?"
"Y—You are speaking nonsense! Why would I do that to James!"
"Because you want what I have," Dahlia replied. "You want to be born from a good family, to be raised right, and to have a perfect family of your own."
Dahlia sneered at Penny as if the whore was less of a human being than her. Which infuriated Penny even more, "Oh, pity you. Are you mad because Henry chose to call me Mom? Maybe if you are a better mother, he’d call you that instead."
"ENOUGH!" Marlon raised his voice, seeing Penny was influenced by Dahlia’s mockery. "Listen to me, Dahlia. I’m not here to play games. You know that Henry is my only son right now, and I need him to marry Sarah and become the Duke of York."
"So if you still have some kind of honor for your family, then you should help me to convince Henry to ditch that woman," Marlon said.
"Honor? You’re asking a woman trapped in a hospital full of crazies about honor? Don’t you think you’re too old for drugs?" Dahlia mocked her and found it to be ridiculous.
