Chapter 1248 He Does Not Even Look At Her
Penelope deliberately made her makeup look very natural like she had nothing on her face at all. In reality, she put in a lot of effort to conceal all the flaws on her face.
Her strength was that her eyes were pretty similar to Arielle’s. Hence, she changed her eye makeup to make them look lively and alluring like Arielle’s.
Penelope’s eyes crinkled as she smiled sweetly. However, Vinson merely nodded and said curtly, “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do, anyway…”
Immediately after Penelope spoke, Vinson strode toward the door.
Shocked, she chased after him and asked, “Where are you going? Aren’t you having breakfast?”
“No. I need to settle some work.”
“But…”
Before Penelope could finish her sentence, Vinson had already walked out of the house, leaving her behind.
Penelope could only bite her lips in frustration.
She woke up at six in the morning to do her makeup and prepare breakfast till now. In the end, Vinson did not even spare even a glance at her before leaving the house. There was no way that she could be happy with that.
Yet, when Penelope turned her head around, she noticed that the housekeeper, whom she had slapped yesterday, was suppressing her laughter.
Immediately, the fury that Penelope was trying to suppress exploded.
She dashed forward and aimed a slap at the housekeeper.
Startled, the housekeeper closed her eyes subconsciously.
However, the slap did not land on her face.
She opened her eyes confusedly and saw Arielle gripping Penelope’s wrist with a very cold expression on her face.
“Mrs. Nightshire…” The housekeeper felt tears welling up in her eyes.
“Are you okay?” asked Arielle with a frown.
The housekeeper quickly nodded. “I’m fine…”
Only then did Arielle look at Penelope, who was completely shocked. She demanded frostily, “Ms. Little, what are you doing?”
“I.. I…” Penelope gritted her teeth. Thinking that she had nothing to lose, she said, “I’m helping you teach the housekeepers! She was very disrespectful to me.”
“Teach her a lesson? Is this how you teach the housekeepers? Furthermore, I’ve been watching from the door all along. She did not do anything at all.”
“I’m just…”
“Stop giving excuses!” Arielle directly interrupted Penelope. “She might be a housekeeper here, but she’s still a human being! How can you hit her for no good reason?”
“I…”
“Furthermore, you aren’t even part of the family. Even if you are the mistress of the house, you can’t hit someone so casually. I can call the police on her behalf and ask them to arrest you. However, I’ll let this slide for Vinson’s sake. If this happens again, don’t blame me for not showing you any mercy!”
Penelope had no opportunities to explain. Hence, she could only withdraw her hand timidly and apologize reluctantly, “I’m sorry for being rash. I shouldn’t have hit her. I’m sorry, Ms. Moore. It’s all my fault…”
Arielle raised her chin and rebuked, “You aren’t supposed to apologize to me!”
Penelope was at a loss for words. Suppressing her anger, she apologized to the housekeeper, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
The housekeeper was still furious at how Penelope slapped her last night. However, since Arielle was watching, she had no choice but to nod and accept her apology. “It’s all right.”
When Penelope looked at Arielle, she averted her gaze. “Since you’ve apologized, it’s fine now. Just don’t do it again.”
As she spoke, she glanced at the housekeeper and instructed, “I have something to ask you. Follow me.”
“Okay…”
The housekeeper nodded and followed Arielle out of the mansion.
