Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable

Chapter 622

At this hour, Jouleston was still wide awake. The streets hummed with traffic and restless noise.

Raymond had arranged only a single driver to take Penelope away. She did not object. As long as they stopped confining her and did not block her from marrying back into the Hamptons, that was enough.

‘So much for valuing Sydney, the long-lost daughter. The Huttons do not seem to take her seriously at all.’ The thought drew a faint curve to Penelope's lips.

Over the past few years, Sydney had endured relentless bullying. Even after she was found, the Huttons showed little concern. Penelope turned her gaze to the window, then felt a sudden unease.
