From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 672 Did Debra Kidnap Young Penelope "Then, in the blink of an eye, while I was grabbing a napkin, you vanished! That half- eaten tiramisu just sat there, mocking me. I thought you'd run off again, so I searched everywhere, but you were nowhere to be found. In that huge venue, you were just... gone! I checked every corner, but you had disappeared." Nicole clenched her fists. "You just vanished from my sight, and you were gone for over twenty years." Every tshe thought about it, Nicole felt a wave of pain and guilt wash over her.

"Penelope, I always thought it was my fault for not keeping an eye on you," Nicole said, her eyes red as she looked at her. "It's all my fault. I failed as a mother, and that's why I lost you." Nicole blamed herself for Penelope's disappearance, convinced that if she had stayed by her side or left her at the Mitchell villa instead of taking her to the gala, Penelope wouldn't be missing.

"How can it be your fault?" Penelope said softly. "It's not your fault." "It is; it is my fault! If I had stayed close to you, how could you have disappeared? You were just a child; how could I let you run around? This world has so many bad people." Kelvin listened to the whole story and quickly replayed it in his mind.

He asked, "What happened next? Nicole, after you realized she was missing, did you check the surveillance footage and ask the security personnel on duty?" "Not only did I check the surveillance, but I also had the entire hotel locked down immediately, not allowing anyone to enter or leave!" Nicole replied.

"Did you find out what happened?" How could someone disappear in the tit took to grab a napkin? In a public place, who could have the ability to take little Penelope away? "After checking the surveillance footage, it showed that while Penelope was eating dessert, she saw something, then dropped her spoon and ran towards a side door. She went inside." Even now, Nicole's heart still ached as she spoke, "Behind that door was a narrow passage, dark and damp, where no one usually went, and it was a blind spot for the cameras. After entering that door, she completely disappeared and never appeared again. I didn't know where she went or what she experienced, and I couldn't find her." Until now, through the heart-shaped birthmark on her waist, Nicole finally found Penelope.

Kelvin frowned slightly.

What did little Penelope see that made her suddenly drop her dessert and run into a side door? What attracted her? Or was someone deliberately luring her with something, guiding her into the door? "Penelope, do you remember any of this?" Kelvin asked. "Do you have any impression?" Penelope shook her head, her young mind unable to recall a thing.

Her mind was blank.

"That's the whole story of Penelope's disappearance," Nicole said. "Later, I searched the whole city for her, issued missing person notices, and offered a high reward, but there was never any news." Nicole's words hit hard.

Kelvin was convinced this wasn't just a simple missing child case! He pulled out his phone and called Ryan, "I need you to do two things."

"First, have someone keep an eye on Debra around the clock. Second, dig up everything you can on her background." "Got it!" Penelope looked at him, trying to piece things together. "Do you think Debra had something to do with my disappearance?" "I'm not sure yet, but she's definitely suspicious." Nicole was taken aback. "Mr. Davis, are you saying Debra kidnapped young Penelope?" "Nicole, don't get worked up," Kelvin said calmly. "From what you've told me, it's clear Penelope didn't just wander off. This was planned." So, someone had been plotting this all along! But who was behind it? The prsuspect benefited most from Penelope's disappearance. With the heiress gone, Debra could relax; her daughter would becthe sole heir, seamlessly joining the Mitchell family and its privileges.

If Isabella was raised by Debra, people would gossip; but by Nicole, it would elevate her! "Brent said it wasn't him." Nicole clutched the blanket, clearly upset. "Even though he's got his flaws, I believe him on this. He really cared for Penelope. He'd change diapers and feed her formula without a second thought." "Let's start by looking into Debra."

"Alright. Mr. Davis, I trust you with this." Nicole turned to Penelope, "Honestly, I didn't trust you with I m Penelope before, but now, I believe you're someone she can rely on." Penelope stayed silent. Why was Nicole suddenly siding with Kelvin? What did he do or say? Did a few guesses win Nicole over? Kelvin said, "Mrs. Mitchell, Penelope is already engaged." She was engaged to Brandon, a match arranged by the Walker and Mitchell families! But then Penelope went missing, and Isabella took her place, enjoying everything meant for Penelope! "You mean her engagement to Brandon." Nicole nodded. "Yes, I personally chose this marriage for Penelope." Kelvin's jaw tightened.

So, Nicole set up the engagement!

"Back then, they went to school No together, played together, they were inseparable. arable. Mrs. Walker joked about them becoming in-laws. Then, Mrs. Walker asked Brandon if he wanted to marry Penelope." Kelvin and Penelope both stared at Nicole, eager for Brandon's response.!

Nicole smiled. "Maybe because he was young and innocent, Brandon said he wouldn't marry anyone but Penelope. Mrs. Walker then asked, what if Penelope didn't want to marry you?"
