Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 691

"Ah!"

Yuna screamed at the top of her lungs, terror stripping away her composure, causing her to tumble off her chair in a clumsy heap. Simultaneously, Penelope beside her disintegrated into countless particles of dust, vanishing into thin air.

She was gone.

Yuna, heart pounding and drenched in a cold sweat, blinked in disbelief. Someone rushed to help her up from the floor.

As Yuna turned to offer her thanks, she was met with Penelope's bared teeth and a ghastly grin!

Fear engulfed her in an instant.

Penelope, with one hand on her arm and the other morphing into skeletal fingers dripping with blood, reached for her!

"Yuna, what's there to fear? You're mommy's good girl, aren't you? Why would you be scared?"

"Enough! Stay away from me! Just stay away!"

Yuna screamed desperately, pulling her arm away, shivering uncontrollably as she staggered backward.

The people in the conference room exchanged confused looks, witnessing Yuna's terror-stricken confrontation with thin air.

"Ms. Lockwood, who are you talking to?"

Yuna pointed towards a corner, shouting, "Penelope... she's come back for me! She's right here, you have to take her away!!"

Her cries tore through the silence as Penelope's face grotesquely twisted before her eyes.

"Yuna, where do you want mommy to go? Oh, I forgot, how could you be my daughter? You're nothing but a bastard child! Did you think I'd just vanish from this world upon death? No, I didn't drink the Lethe's water, so the Grim Reaper turned me into a vengeful spirit."

As Penelope spoke, her bony fingers gently grazed Yuna's cheek.

"I can't bear to leave you, my dear. I'll always be watching over you, clinging to your surroundings."
