From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 463 Did She Hide Madison? Penelope was kinda taken aback.

From what she remembered, Brandon was always swamped with work and barely ever home.

It was exactly 'cause of his crazy schedule that his wedding with Isabella kept getting pushed back until they finally nailed it down this year.

Cto think of it, shouldn't Brandon be spending his rare htwith Isabella? So why was he hanging out with Sam? "Sam, when Uncle Brandon's got sfree time, doesn't he chill with Aunt Isabella?" Even though Penelope and Isabella weren't exactly besties-more like they just tolerated each other-they kept things civil. They'd just nod when they crossed paths, no chit-chat.

Penelope wanted Brandon and Isabella to be happy together.

A stand-up guy like Brandon deserved a solid wife who could fill that emotional gap and help run the household. Isabella seemed pretty good at that.

"Aunt Isabella's super busy too," Sam said. "Ruby mentioned she's all caught up planning her wedding with Uncle Brandon." "Sigh," Sam sighed, "It's such a bummer, really. Why did Uncle Brandon have to marry Aunt Isabella..." Penelope guessed what he was about to say and clamped her hand over his mouth. "Alright, enough." Sam blinked.

As soon as Penelope let go, he blurted out, "Penelope, you should think about Uncle Brandon. He's good-looking, loaded, and super nice. He's way better than Uncle Kelvin... mmph...!" "They're getting hitched. Why should I butt in? Besides, Isabella's a good fit. She's got a solid background, good education, and she's smart and capable. They're perfect for each other," Penelope said.

"Mmph..." "I'll stop covering your mouth, but you gotta promise not to try and setup with Brandon again," Penelope said. "Blink if you get it." Sam blinked like crazy.

Only then did Penelope let go.

"Penelope," Sam looked at her seriously, "I don't think Aunt Isabella's all that great." Penelope was a bit thrown, "Why?" Did Isabella give him a hard twith the Walker family? Or did she not like him? Did she find him annoying? "She's all sweet and smiley in front of Uncle Brandon, like skind of angel." Sam thought for a moment. "But around others, she's a whole different person." As he talked, Sam pulled down the corners of his mouth with his fingers, stuck out his tongue, and made a goofy face.

"She's super mean, and she gives people the side-eye," Sam said, mimicking her perfectly. "Her tone changes too, slow and super nasty, always bossing people around. The servants are scared of her." Sam had a knack for acting, and Penelope was pretty shocked.

"Ruby said Aunt Isabella's the boss and toldnot to run around when she's hso she wouldn't get mad. But once, Mom, I heard her talking to Madison on the phone!" Sam went on.

Hearing the nMadison snapped Penelope back to reality. "Are you sure?" Penelope asked, "Isabella was talking to Madison on the phone?" "Yeah, her door was open, and I just happened to walk by," he said.

Sam swore up and down, "No way! At first, I thought she was talking to Uncle Kelvin 'cause she mentioned his na couple of times. When she sawat the door, she freaked out. Luckily, Uncle Brandon showed up, so she didn't do anything. I told Uncle Brandon I heared she mention Kelvin on the phone, and Aunt Isabella quickly said she was talking to that bad woman, Madison! Penelope, you see, bad women stick together! They're friends, and neither of them can be any good!" Four years ago, when Madison was still a top actress and not blacklisted by Kelvin, she and Isabella were like two peas in a pod, everyone knew that.

But who would've thought, four years later, Isabella and Madison were still tight! Trying to keep her cool, Penelope asked, "Sam, what else do you know? Spill it all." Sam didn't hold back. "Penelope, I think Aunt Isabella is in cahoots with that bad woman Madison who's got Lucy in the hospital. It's not just that phone call. I think she even hid Madison before!" Penelope remembered Kelvin saying Madison had vanished near the Walker family. So, he suspected Brandon. Back then, Penelope shot that down, thinking no way Brandon would be mixed up with Madison.

But she forgot the Walker family had more than just Brandon running the show.

Even though Madison wasn't married yet, she already had the status and perks of the lady of the house! "How did you figure out she was hiding Madison?" Penelope's face got serious. "Sam, this is big stuff, you can't just throw that out there." "I wouldn't lie to you. That time, Uncle Brandon got all the security guards together and asked if anyone had seen Madison. One guard was about to spill, but when Aunt Isabella showed up, he clammed up." Sam was dead serious. "Aunt Isabella gave him that side-eye, just a quick look, and the guard got scared and didn't say a word. I saw the whole thing. I didn't tell anyone else, only you, 'cause you know I wouldn't lie to you." Penelope realized Sam might've stumbled onto something big.

Most people wouldn't think to hide stuff from a three or four-year-old kid. And honestly, Sam was way sharper than other kids his age! Madison disappeared near the Walker family and then popped up in Lucy's hospital room.

Isabella and Madison used to be super close.

'Could it be that Isabella's been helping Madison all along?' This thought hit Penelope, and suddenly, everything clicked! 'It was totally possible!' She trusted Brandon completely; he'd never do anything to hurt her! But Isabella? That was a different story! What Penelope couldn't wrap her head around was why Isabella would help Madison.

She was the classy daughter of the Mitchell family, the future Mrs.

om Walker, living the high life: Why would she get mixed up with a disgraced nutjob like Madison? What was Isabella after? Penelope thought about it; even though she and Isabella didn't get along, they hadn't had any major blowouts!

"Alright, I got it," Penelope said, looking at Sam. "You did awesome, paying attention like that.

Sam, lil take care of this. You just focus on being happy and doing well in school, okay?" "Penelope, I wanna help you too," Sam said.
