“It's nothing. I just missed you too much,” replied Penelope. She acted as though she was reluctant to share her

story because it would trouble Bianca. “Don't overthink this, Granny. It's nothing. Really.”

The more she behaved like this, the more Bianca grew curious. “Really? You can tell me. Did your uncle treat you

poorly? Oh, I'm so going to scold him.”

“No, that's not it. It's just...” Penelope became even more teary-eyed. “I... Granny, I didn't want to tell you about this

because I didn't want to worry you, but it's actually about Ashlyn. You remember, right? She's the woman I talked to

you about before. It's all her fault.”

Between sobs, Penelope told Bianca a modified version of what had happened at the piano competition in H Nation.

The former made everything seem so intense and painted herself as the innocent bystander who was ever so

pitiful. She made Mary and herself out to be the world's unluckiest and saddest women there was.

Ashlyn, on the other hand, was made out to be the absurd villain who lived only to derive her happiness from

Penelope and Mary's misery.

Bianca's heart ached as she patted Penelope's hand. “You should go take a rest first. Don't worry. I'm not the kind of

person who would let injustice like that happen. I can't believe that a simple trip back would bring you and your

mom so much pain and misery. You have both suffered for no reason. Ah! I'm so angry! I'll call your uncle right now

and scold him!”

Hearing that, Penelope bit her lip a little as a hint of panic flashed past her eyes. Shoot, if she makes that call, my

lies would be exposed.

At that thought, Penelope immediately replied, “There's no need for that, Granny. Uncle Ryan tried to protect me

and Mom, but Ashlyn is the wife of the CEO of Nolan Group. She's too powerful, so it's not Uncle Ryan's fault that he

couldn't protect us. Please don't call him and put even more pressure on his shoulders.”

“My sweet Penelope, you're so kind. Okay, I won't call him if that's what you wish,” replied Bianca. A glint flashed

past her eyes as she put her phone away.

“Then I won't bother you anymore, Granny. I better head back to my room now,” said Penelope who left

immediately after.

The kind smile on Bianca slowly turned into a scowl, and anger seeped out of her eyes.

“That kid is so ridiculous. Does she really think I won't see through her tricks? She truly has countless bad habits.”

Bianca's voice carried a hint of disappointment, and the tone she used frightened Matilda a little. “Mrs. Yates,

you...”

“I may be getting old, but that doesn't mean she can fool me. She made herself out to be so pitiful, yet she didn't

want me to call Ryan?”

“Are you saying something about the situation is fishy?” Matilda immediately got what was going on. Matilda had

been working for the Yates family for decades, but she had always found Mary and Penelope did not belong to the

family.

Almost every hired help was mad at them but was too afraid to complain. Mary and Penelope would deliberately

make things difficult for them.

“Send someone to investigate the matter and tell me the truth,” ordered Bianca. She was never the kind of person

who would blindly believe anything anyone told her. If she was, the Yates family would not have grown to be so

strong in Maredania, nor would its powers be that deeply rooted.

“Understood,” replied Matilda before leaving to work on the task right away.

Just as Matilda left, Ryan called. “Mom, have the two of them reached home?”

“Yeah,” replied Bianca calmly. “When will you be home?”

“I will definitely be home for your birthday, but I need to work on some minor issues here for now. Please have Dad

or Matilda plan the party for you,” said Ryan. He had always been a good son, so he felt a little guilty because he

could not plan Bianca's birthday party in person.

Still, the mere thought of Mary and Penelope made him feel the urgent need to prove what he suspected. Hence,

he could not return home just yet.

“It's fine. Focus on your work and be careful out there, okay?” said Bianca. She was not the type of mother who

would demand her kids stay by her side at all times.

At the time, there were still ten days before it was Bianca's birthday.

In the meantime, after the production of “Trashy Idol” was done, the marketing effort began right away. Every

social media and website was advertising the movie endlessly.
