Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 217

Chapter 217: A Suitor

“What did you say!” Kane was stunned for a second but then it dawned on her that Penny was a victim of domestic abuse. Her own parents favor her sister more and Nora takes its benefit and hurts Penny.

“What.. What did I say! I said nothing. I need rest. I should wash myself and change my clothes.”He had already noticed that she was on the corner bed and her bed looked strange.

“Wait.. your bed..”

“Can you change it for me? If I complain, they will only think..” she did not continue but the man gritted his teeth, looking furious.

“How could you be so naive! Penny!” hiding his anger, “I will ask them to change the mattress and sheets. Go and take a bath first.” Penny did not raise her head but she nodded with quivering shoulders. Kane heard a broken sob when he closed the door and his rage grew again.

He took his phone and dialed the number.

“Father, the girl is so different from how you have described her. But I think I am ready for your plan.”

—

“Nora, shall i change your room?” The teacher regretted giving them the same room. She did not want to grab others’ attention for the wrong reason. “I should not have agreed to their idea in the first place.”

“It is just a matter of night. I will manage.” The teacher looked unsure but Nora just patted her hands like an adult there and returned to her room followed by Alisha.

They stopped on the door when they noticed Kane kneeling on the ground and applying ointment on Penny’s ankle and calf. Penny giggled as he whispered something.

Kane turned to see when the door opened. His eyes narrowed at Nora. he had thought that the girl would change the room after the accident. But it looked like he had underestimated the girl.

“Alisha, right?” he completely ignored Nora as if he could not see her. “Can you help me in applying the medicine on her thighs? It would not be appropriate for me.” he stood up and smiled like a gentleman.

Nora raised a brow. She recognizes a manipulated person from afar when she sees one. She had to admit that Penny had a great talent when it comes to manipulating others and getting sympathy.

“Aah, yes. I will do it.” Alisha ran inside the room and took the ointment from Kane.

“Thank you, I owe you this one.” he smiled charmingly, making Alisha blush even when she already had a boyfriend.

He stood there for a second, and once assured that Alisha was doing it well, he nodded.

“Take rest and heal. If you feel better, I will take you to a special place here.” Penny blushed when he winked at her and softly nodded.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he walked toward the door. His eyes lost all its warmth when he stood up in front of Nora.

“I hope you could have a peaceful night!” the way he whispered those words, it felt more like a warning.

Nora only smiled and entered the room. She closed the door behind her when he left.

“You can let go. I do not need your help.” The moment the door was closed, Penny pushed Alisha’s hand away. “What if you mixed something in the ointment to increase my pain.” Alisha was stunned when she was pushed suddenly. She fell on her butt confused and only came to her senses when Penny snorted and laid on the bed.

“Penny..”

“Let her go! She is having difficulty in digesting her failures. If she is upset, she would make sure that everyone around her was upset.” Alisha bit her lips. Earlier she was feeling a little bit of guilt that she had chosen to side with Nora. But now that guilt is gone.

Girls like Penny deserve it. She stood up and went to change her clothes. Only Nora and Penny were in the room.

“How did you know it!” Penny let go of her masks. “Your actions were so flawless as if you were waiting for the server to throw soup at you.” That question was gnawing at her chest all this time.

The changes that had come in Nora were too sudden. She was not that good at studies. Neither did she know how to trick others. If not for the marks on her skin, she would have believed that this girl was a doppelganger.

Nora noticed fear and uncertainty in Penny’s voice. Her lips curled into a smirk.

“Because I knew in advance that you were going to do it.” she smirked, “I have recently found a treasure that will help me in knowing the future. Do you know..” Nora leaned closer to Penny. Her minty smell enveloped Penny but for some reason, it evoked fear in her heart.

Her hands clenched on her blanket. “Even the exam questions could be seen through that treasure. So rest assured, I will win the finals too and earn the trophy for the school. Then you and I would never be in the same league.” that line! Penny had rubbed that line on Nora’s face in the past many times.

But now that Nora had said it, its meaning was completely different. Her eyes narrowed and hatred seemed to burn her whole body. How she wanted to strangle Nora.

“Do not go that far!” she warned but Nora only looked at her disdainfully.

“You wench!” Penny was ready to grab Nora’s hair when the door opened and Alisha returned. She stared coldly at Penny.

“Penny, if you create another fuss. I will go and call teachers.” Penny gritted her teeth. Her face was red with hatred.

“You both just wait! You would regret it.” she spat with hatred as she turned on her bed and closed her eyes. Nora only snorted as if nothing had happened.

“Come, we should sleep too. I heard that they were taking us to see some mountains in the morning. Trekking would be hard if we were tired.”
