Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Bringing her back (2)
Penelope raised her head and looked at Emil in shock. However, she still laughed in a lighthearted voice and remarked, “It seems like you are taking the god sister matter way too seriously, Emil. I will start getting jealous if you do such a thing.”

Mateo watched Aiden place an oxygen mask that he had bought when they were returning home, he waited until some of the colour returned on Ariana’s face before turning to look at Penelope.

He wanted to say something harsh but thought about something and said to Penelope, “There is no need for you to feel jealous, Penny.” he turned to look at the woman, while Penelope eyed him warily as if waiting for him to say what he wanted or at least clear what he was trying to tell her. He smiled at Penelope before saying to her, “After all, she is our real sister. I know that this must come as a shock to you but you are so sweet and kind, certainly, you will understand the shift in positions right?”

He turned to look at his brothers before saying, “Isn’t that right brothers? Our sister is such a nice person. She even dug a grave of your canary, Keon. Before it even died, just because she was worried that the poor thing wouldn’t have a place to lie when it died.”

“True,” Keon glanced at Penelope who looked dumbstruck. Ignoring her expression he calmly agreed with Mateo, “It came in handy too as the canary died three days later.”

Penelope looked back and forth between Keon and Mateo while trying to keep her composure. She could feel her control slipping into panic and rage. She laughed at her brothers before saying, “You two are joking right? I don’t think this is funny though. How can you just call her your sister and deny me, it’s me who grew up with you.”

Mateo stepped forward and took out the DNA report that he had been carrying for a while now. He showed it to Penelope before saying to her, “I am really sorry, Penny.”

Penelope’s eyes widened when she saw the DNA report in Mateo’s hands, she thought that Ariana was a stupid woman who had no idea about her true identity. Turns out that she was the one who was being fooled! Ariana knew and was actually biding her time all along.

However, she still raised her head and looked at Mateo with tears in her eyes.

“Wha..what?” Penelope’s voice turned into a whisper. She acted as if she had entered a shocked state. “You are lying, how–how can it be possible?”

Penelope was wise enough to understand that her brothers were never close to her, which meant that they would never let her stay in the Ashford family. She had to evoke the sympathy of her parents and make sure that they didn’t let go of her.

She could not live in that hell hole where Ariana grew up.

“I am not lying,” Mateo said as he pointed at the DNA report. “As you can see, maybe there was some freak of an accident and the two children were exchanged.” He raised his hands and squeezed Penelope’s shoulders before saying to her, “Don’t worry, Penny. Your real and biological parents will love you just as ours did.” Did Penelope not like pretending and acting? Then he would play with her.

And what a lovely drama it would be.

Penelope’s face paled. She pushed Mateo away from her, she knew it. She knew that this man was trying to kick her out of this family. She rushed to where Kaylyn was standing and clasped hold of her mother’s hands.

“Mom, he is lying! Tell him that this joke is not funny!” Penelope exclaimed. She hoped that at least her mother would believe her, but Kaylyn only disappointed her even further.

“Mateo will not joke about such a thing, Penny.” Kaylyn believed Mateo because she had met and seen Ariana. At that moment, she could not bring herself to bother with Penny’s emotional state as her daughter, whom she had not even gotten a chance to know, was lying pale-faced on the bed.

Her heart was torn and filled with anger and grief. If she was to find out who did such a horrible thing to her daughter, which reduced her to this state, she would never forgive them.

Theodore was just as worried. He looked at Aiden and asked anxiously, “How is she? Is she doing alright? Do I need to call for specialists?”

“Please don’t,” Aiden shook his head and refused. “Doctor Stoll is her attending physician, and it’s better if he deals with this matter.”

Penny, whose smile couldn’t be kept, turned to look at Aiden and questioned sharply, “What’s wrong with her? As far as I know, Doctor Stoll is a doctor of crazy people. Is she mad?”

Her words caused everyone to pause and look at her.

Aiden narrowed his eyes and stated coldly, “Just because someone is seeing a psychiatrist doesn’t mean that they are crazy. And if you had parents like hers, then you would be in the same position as Doctor Harlow.”

“Thanks to the place that you took from her, you lived a well comfortable life; I would be putting some respect in my tone if I were you when talking about her,” Aiden snapped harshly. He had never spoken to Penelope like that before but after failing to keep Ariana protected and letting Nicolai down even though his cousin trusted him –

Aiden had started to care for Ariana in a much more sincere manner.

Not to mention, he also seemed to have gotten a closer understanding of her condition, and it made him respect and care for her.

Penny’s face turned pale when she heard Aiden’s scolding.

This woman just entered this family, and everyone has already started to treat her like such?

“You speak as if I stole it from her; I was also unaware!”

“Then you can at least respect her!” Emil shot back; he glared at Penelope before remarking scathingly, “You lived a life full of comfort while she suffered in your stead; how can you call her crazy and mad?”
