Chapter 609
At that moment, hearing what Sophia had just said with such obvious frustration and desperation, hearing her attempt to find some alternative solution to the increasingly humiliating situation she found herself trapped in, Penelope started laughing with genuine amusement and obvious satisfaction. Her laughter carried the sound of someone who had successfully cornered their opponent and was now thoroughly enjoying watching them struggle.“Oh, just look at Sophia now, trying to use yet another escape tactic to get out of facing the full consequences of what she's done!” Penelope exclaimed with obvious delight, her voice carrying the tone of someone who had anticipated exactly this kind of maneuvering. “Did you actually think that I wouldn't see right through this transparent attempt to avoid accountability?”Her expression became even more smugly superior as she continued her analysis of Sophia's motives. “Though Sophia apparently thinks I don't understand all of these manipulative litt
Chapter 608
At that moment, upon hearing what Penelope had just said with such condescending false concern, upon processing the clear implication that she was somehow untrustworthy or likely to flee from her responsibilities, Sophia shook her head in profound disappointment and disbelief. Her expression showed not just anger now, but genuine hurt that someone who had known her since childhood could think so little of her character and integrity.“So you actually thought I was going to run away from this?” Sophia asked, her voice carrying a mixture of incredulity and wounded pride. “Seriously? Is this honestly how you actually see me as a person, or what kind of character you think I have?” Her eyes searched Penelope's face, looking for some sign that this was all a misunderstanding, some indication that her childhood acquaintance couldn't possibly have such a low opinion of her moral fiber.“Or do you actually have some other hidden motive in all of this harassment and interference?” Sophia conti

At that moment, upon realizing and seeing that it was Penelope who had just spoken with such mocking condescension, Sophia felt a surge of anger rising within her chest. The sight of Penelope standing there with that satisfied, superior expression made her blood boil with frustration and indignation. However, even through her anger, Sophia's practical mind recognized that Penelope's presence and taunting words were not the major problem she needed to focus on right now.The major problem, the truly serious issue that demanded her immediate attention, was actually the destroyed pot and the mounting consequences of what she had accidentally broken. That expensive, irreplaceable antique lying in fragments on the floor - that was what should be worrying her far more than Penelope's attempts to humiliate her. The financial and legal implications of destroying such a valuable piece were potentially devastating, and that reality was even more concerning and threatening than dealing with Pene
Chapter 606
At that moment, upon witnessing what had just transpired before her eyes, seeing thousands of dollars worth of irreplaceable historical artifacts destroyed in a matter of seconds, the sales representative's jaw immediately dropped open in complete shock. Her hand instinctively flew upward to cover her mouth, as if trying to contain the gasp of horror and disbelief that threatened to escape. She stood there utterly shocked and utterly disoriented by the catastrophic scene that had just unfolded in the pristine, carefully maintained establishment.The woman found herself frozen in position, her body refusing to move as her mind struggled to process the full magnitude of what had occurred. Years of working with priceless antiquities, years of careful handling and meticulous preservation, and now this - a scene of destruction that represented not just financial loss but the irreparable damage of pieces that had survived centuries only to be destroyed in the store, under her watch.It was

Immediately, she began leading them through the carefully arranged displays, starting with some of the more accessible pieces before moving toward the truly rare items. As they moved through the store, she started sharing fascinating details about various unique pieces, telling them about the historical context, the craftsmanship techniques, the cultural significance, and the provenance of different artifacts that caught the light as they passed.However, despite the representative's obvious knowledge and enthusiasm, Sophia found herself somewhat distracted and wasn't particularly interested in the pieces being shown to her initially. Nothing was quite capturing her imagination or speaking to her collector's instincts in the way that truly special pieces did when she encountered them.But then, just as they were moving deeper into the store's more exclusive sections, something changed entirely. Sophia's eyes suddenly landed on a particular item that seemed to call out to her from its

Right away, without wasting another second, the lead guard immediately nodded with professional efficiency and said to Penelope in a low, respectful tone, “We are going to do exactly what you just instructed, ma'am. Consider it handled.” His expression was serious and focused, the look of someone who had carried out similar discreet operations before and understood the importance of following orders precisely while maintaining plausible deniability.But then, without wasting another second, just as the guard was preparing to signal his team to begin their covert pursuit, Penelope suddenly held up her hand to stop them. Her eyes had been tracking Sophia and Damien's movement through the mall, and something about their direction and body language had sparked a different idea in her calculating mind.“Wait,” she said quietly but firmly. “You should just follow my lead instead. I just changed my mind about the approach we're taking.” Her voice carried the authority of someone accustomed t
