The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2264

She struggled fiercely. The effort was so intense that her ankle chafed raw against the shackles, but it seemed like she didn't even feel the pain as she reached out to grab Penn.

But he just took two casual steps back, widening the gap between him and Rose.

"Penn, you can't do this to me, you just can't! I've been by your side for so many years, you can't toss me aside like some old toy! You promised my mom you'd take care of me!! Penn, please..." Her pleas and terror were ignored.

Penn gave her a detached glance and turned to leave.

"Penn, you'll pay for this! You say I'm pitiful, aren't you just the same? Does anyone else even love you besides me?! Penn!!!"

When he returned, Rose was still spewing curses.

Scales' face was stormy; he had actually wanted to invite Penn to stay for a coffee, but Penn seemed eager to leave, handing over his business card before dashing off.

Scales had heard Rose's curses and deep down, he felt Penn's mood was soured by the insults, which was why he didn't stay.

Scales had been eager to network with someone as learned and reputable as Penn. To have missed this opportunity made him seethe. He returned to more of Rose's vitriol and his temper flared.

He lashed out with a kick, "You wretched thing, you were sent here by someone of importance, and Dr. Lange kindly came to check on you. He even reminded me to care for you, mentioning foods you're allergic to. Instead of being grateful, you curse him like this!!!"

Rose clutched the sore spot where she'd been kicked, trembling all over.

"Take her to the isolation room. She won't see daylight for the next six months." Scales commanded coldly.
