From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 512 Penelope's Hands Started Bleeding "No tools," Madison said, "using a nutcracker's just gonna smash the meat inside. Penelope, use your hands and peel those walnuts one by one, nice and easy." Kelvin's eyes went dark, and his muscles got all tense.

She actually made Penelope peel those walnuts by hand! Peeling one or two was whatever, but doing it for a while would make her hands bleed! Madison thought she wasn't pressing hard enough. "What's up, Kelvin? Chill, I'll give you a slow massage." He swallowed hard, trying to keep his cool. "Alright." Penelope knew what was coming and stayed calm, like it was no big deal.

Madison was just out to mess with her.

A whole bag of walnuts, like thirty of them, and they had super hard shells.

She squatted down and started peeling them one by one.

Those walnuts were tough, and Penelope had to use all her strength to crack them open. The ridges left deep marks on her hands.

After just two, her hands were already marked up, and her nails were busted.

"Don't stop; hurry up. You're so slow with such a tiny task," Madison pushed. "I'm waiting to eat." "Yes, Ms. Garcia." Penelope kept her head down and kept peeling without a break. Her damp hair hung down, covering her face and hiding her expression.

All you could see were the walnuts in her hands...

Kelvin couldn't stand to watch.

He was scared he might lose it! How could he watch Penelope go through this? Before long, Penelope's fingers started bleeding.

Her fingertips weren't just red anymore; they were turning purple! Entschliarto Ya very peentera, tov, 'aptery vollerantearry Wheeeating!?" Mdanienr sneered. "Penelope, can you do anything right?" "I can," Penelope said.

"Then keep peeling! You don't stop until I say so!" Madison snapped.

Penelope replied, "Okay." It hurt. Her hands hurt a lot.

Seeing the bright red blood, Penelope felt her eyes sting.

But she would soldier through.

Gritting her teeth, she told herself it would be over soon.

She wouldn't have to live like this anymore; she could take Lucy back to the small town and live peacefully! And Sam! A happy family of three! Thinking of this, Penelope's lips curled into a smile.

Her two kids were her whole reason for doing this.

Thinking of Lucy and Sam made the pain less intense.

Seeing her smile, Madison was a bit surprised. "Penelope, what are you smiling about?" Kelvin also looked at her.

He only dared to look at the side of her face, at her hair, not at her hands.

Her bloody hands.

One day, he would break all ten of Madison's fingers, completely crippling her, to pay her back for today's humiliation! "Can't I smile, Ms. Garcia?" Penelope answered calmly, "Gotta find joy in the suffering." "I didn't know you had such a good attitude," Madison said.

Penelope replied, "You'll get it once you beca mom." Talking about this made Madison straighten up. "I'll definitely have kids for Kelvin, as many as he wants. Plus, with the Davis family's huge assets, there has to be a boy to take over the family business. I want boys! Girls like Lucy are just a waste of money; they'll get married and leave the family eventually!" Penelope shot her a look.

Madison really had the nerve to call Lucy a waste of money? Penelope could take Madison's crap, but dragging Lucy into it? No way! "Girls are a waste of money?" Penelope smirked, "Ms. Garcia, don't forget, you're a woman too." Madison was caught off guard, her mouth hanging open, not knowing what to say for a moment. So, she just got angrier. "Shut up, Penelope, and peel those walnuts! You can leave when you're done!" "Can I really leave once I finish peeling the walnuts?" Penelope asked.

"Yes!" Madison snapped.

"And what about Lucy?" Penelope pressed.

"Wait and see," Madison said, "I'll keep my word." Penelope nodded. "Alright, I'll wait for that day." On that day, Lucy would call her mommy and run into her arms...

Penelope felt the pain in her hands ease up a bit.

Even though the blood kept flowing! She peeled the whole bag of walnuts by hand, placing the walnut meat in a porcelain bowl in front of Kelvin and Madison.

A full bowl.

But the walnut meat was covered in blood.

It looked pretty gnarly.

Who'd want to eat that? Madison wasn't gonna touch it; she was just making things hard for Penelope! "Alright, enjoy," Penelope said, "I've done my job, so I'll leave you two alone." Madison looked at it with disgust. "Yeah, yeah, get out." Penelope turned to leave.

But she couldn't help but glance at Kelvin.

Just one glance.

Penelope thought maybe he really didn't want to see her.

She shouldn't have looked. Why couldn't she help it? It wasn't until Penelope was out of sight that Kelvin raised his eyes and looked at the bowl of walnut meat.

The blood stains on it were still fresh.

These were peeled by Penelope, one by one, with her bare hands.

He could imagine how much it hurt, but she never cried out.

Kelvin knew she was in pain but also happy. She was willing becausem thinking of bucy coming back to her E gave her strength.

But Penelope could've refused! She could've stood up to Madison like she used to! Because Madison had promised him, she would lift the curse on Lucy! It wouldn't change because of Penelope's attitude! Unfortunately, Kelvin didn't expect Penelope to be so compliant.

Not at all like the fierce woman who once dared to slap him.

Maybe it was because, for the sake of her beloved Lucy, Penelope felt it was worth it, no matter how much she suffered, she was willing to endure it.

Just like Kelvin, for Penelope and Lucy, did something he had never done before swallowing his pride! He was the high and mighty president of the Davis Group! "Kelvin." Madison raised her hand, trying to turn his face, "Look at me, don't ignore me." Kelvin bent down and reached for the walnut meat.

His hand trembled slightly.

Because he saw the fresh blood up close.

It was Penelope's blood! He couldn't even bear to say a harsh word to her, but he let Madison pick on her like that! "Kelvin?" Madison asked, "Why'd you take it? Just toss it." A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes, quickly hidden. "Didn't you want to eat them?"
