Chapter 93: A Devious Plan "Fiona, this child... since it doesn't exist, let's make sure it never does," the director whispered.
Fiona was confused, "Huh?" "An abortion. We'll find a way to fake a miscarriage," he clarified. "Make the child disappear." "But Dad, Mr. Davis won't be as kind towithout the child!" The director smiled slyly, "This non-existent child was valuable in its conception; it should be just as valuable in its departure. Fiona, we're not talking about a simple abortion. We need a fall guy." A fall guy... Fiona's eyes sparkled at the thought. "You mean Penelope?" "Exactly," the director nodded. "Imagine if your child 'died' because of her. Two birds with one stone." Not only would this solve the fake pregnancy issue, but it would also doom Penelope forever with the blfor the death of a Davis family heir.
"Dad, you're brilliant!" Fiona agreed excitedly. "An ingenious idea!" "Hush, this plan isn't simple. We can't afford a single mistake, or we'll be the ones suffering..." "We have time. And now that I'm living in The King Manor, I see Penelope every day!" The father-daughter duo huddled together, plotting meticulously. The plan had to be watertight, without any slip-ups, to gain Mr. Davis's sympathy and frPenelope.
Penelope had always been a thorn in their side, and now they had a chance to remove her.

The director handed her a bag of plasma, "Fiona, your future comfort rests on this moment." "Failure is not an option!" "After this, Mr. Davis will feel guilty, sympathetic. You can use this chance to try for a real child." Fiona nodded firmly, gripping the bag of plasma.
At the Davis Group, Penelope sat before her computer, working on design drafts. Her "Smile Series" was a hit, selling out immediately upon release. She was now expanding the line to include rings and earrings.
"Penelope, deliver these documents," Kennedy ordered abruptly. "And hurry up." "Me?" Penelope looked up from her screen.
Kennedy nodded impatiently, "Yes, you! Can't you understand simple instructions?" Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on nov@L5sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

Lastly, ask nicely, and I might consider it." "I'm your superior. You'll do what I say!" Kennedy declared, dumping the documents on Penelope and storming off.
"Wait," Penelope called after her, tossing the documents back. They scattered as Kennedy failed to catch them.
"You dare attack me?" "You dropped them. Not my fault," Penelope countered.
Just as Kennedy was about to retort, Monica, the supervisor and a close ally of Penelope, intervened. "What's this commotion during work hours?" Kennedy's face fell. Monica, holding a higher position and close to Penelope, was not someone she could easily confront.
"Ms. Perez, I... I asked Penelope to help with something, and she refused and lashed out," Kennedy lied. Monica approached, "In this company, we follow rules. Penelope, is there a problem with your attitude?" Kennedy was momentarily confused. Monica wasn't immediately siding with Penelope? This was unusual. "She askedto deliver documents, which isn't my job," Penelope explained.

"I was seeking inspiration, not idling," Penelope corrected.

After a pause, Monica spoke, "It's just document delivery. Let's not lose our camaraderie. Kennedy, it seems your secretary is failing her duties." "What?" Kennedy was taken aback.
"Your secretary is meant to assist you, yet you're asking others to do her job, She'll be penalized, Monica declared. "Apologize to Penelope, then Penelope will apologize to you." Kennedy was stunned. Her secretary's penalty was a slap in her face. And why should she apologize first? "Any objections, Kennedy?" Monica pressed.
With no choice, Kennedy begrudgingly apologized, "Sorry, Penelope, I shouldn't have asked you to run errands." Penelope smiled, "No harm done. Just don't do it again. I also apologize for not catching the documents." Kennedy, seething but silent, left to deliver the documents herself.
Penelope and Monica exchanged a ly knowing look, barely containing their laughter. When they teamed up against someone, that person stood no chance.
