Chapter 589

The ten minutes were up. Zoe watched as Yuna climbed into the luxurious executive car, her gaze fixated on the rear window where the Fitzgeralds leaned into each other’s

embrace.

Penelope, without thinking, turned her head to look outside, locking eyes with Zoe through the glass. She couldn’t help but feel there was something peculiar about Zoe’s longing

gaze.

“What did she tell you?” Penelope asked Yuna, her curiosity piqued.

Yuna had a lie on the tip of her tongue, but then she saw an opportunity to turn Penelope against Marguerite. She quickly dug out an ointment from her bag and said, “Manley’s hurt, and she was worried. She sent this ointment for him.”

Hackett’s sobriety returned in an instant at the mention of his grandson’s injury, “What happened to my dear grandson? Isn’t there someone at home to look after him?”

Yuna cast a meaningful glance at Penelope and remained silent.

“Impatient, Hackett pressed, “Speak up! I’m asking you, how did my dear grandson get

hurt?

Yuna shivered in fear, her voice barely audible, “…Marguerite hit him…”

Penelope’s eyes widened in disbelief. Marguerite, so gentle and kind, how could she possibly bring herself to hit Manley?

Robert had reached his boiling point. From the passenger seat, he glared at Yuna through the rearview mirror. “If you spout nonsense one more time, I’ll sew your mouth shut, try

me”

Seizing the moment, Yuna clutched Hackett’s arm. The old man, now fully sober and visibly enraged, barked, “Robert! Have you lost your mind? Is Marguerite your lover or your kin that you defend her so? You are threatening to sew your sister’s mouth shut for her… You’re turning the world upside down!”

Robert turned to face his father, “Dad, do you know why I don’t want to come home?”

Hackett, taken aback, didn’t have a chance to question before Robert revealed the reason. with a scornful laugh, “Because you’re unreasonable, quick to judge without understanding, easily swayed by slander.”

Robert’s tone was so flat, devoid of any emotion, yet it fanned the flames of Hackett’s

anger.

“Robert, have you lost all sense of propriety? Who gave you the right to speak to your father in that tone?” he thundered.
