The slap was loud and crisp.
Penelope's actions were so swift. After she slapped Walter, she started scolding him loudly, “What did | tell you
before we left the house? You have to behave and not touch other people's things.
“You completely ignored me, didn’t you? Hurry up and hand the documents over! You must be tired of living. Do
you want to end up in jail? You disobedient little brat...”
No one had tto react.
Walter was stunned, and his parents were dumbfounded. Even Miranda froze in shock.

“Waahh! Grandma hit me!” Walter finally regained his senses and burst into sobs. This time, he was genuinely
crying, unlike his crocodile tears from before. “I didn’t take it! | don’t know where the papers are!
“Say that again? Do you think | won't beat the life out of you?” Penelope was both furious and scared.
“I won't tell you! I'm not saying anything!”
“You brat! How dare you be disobedient and take things without permission! Hurry up and hand it over!”
Penelope didn’t hold back and started smacking Walter's bottom repeatedly.
Reggie and Camie tried to intervene the entire time. They pleaded and pulled but to no avail.
“Old ha
hag, how dare you hit me! You should just die already!” Walter screamed.
Penelope almost fainted from anger at his words. In the end, she only backed off after the police officers stepped
in to stop her.
Fortunately, Walter had been beaten into submission. He tearfully fished out a stack of documents from
under the couch.

An officer said, “Ms. Sutton, please check the documents.”
After verifying that the papers were indeed her missing documents, Miranda nodded. “Yes, these are my
reports.”
“Good.”
As Miranda put her documents away, she turned to Walter's parents after shesitation. “My room was locked.
Your son climbed in through the window. The second floor is at least 30 feet off the ground.
“Have you ever considered what were the consequences if a young child like him slipped and fell? At that point,
it wouldn't just be about smissing documents. It could've been a matter of life or death!”

Reggie and Camie’s faces turned pale. Feeling guilty, Walter kept his head down.
That night, Penelope and her family packed their belongings to return to the village. Given that it was almost
midnight, Lionel offered to let them stay another night and leave in the morning.
Penelope sighed and said, “Lionel, your family has always been generous, unlike your mother... You should be
careful in the future...”

With that, she left with her entire family.
Lionel frowned. Be careful? Be careful of whom?

That night, Miranda and her parents finally had a good night's sleep. Early the next morning, Mindy hired three
housekeepers to help clean the house.
By noon, the whole villa was spotless, both inside and out. Every corner and crack had been thoroughly cleaned.
Miranda had her breakfast and went
out for a stroll. She remembered

She sighed and prepared to leave. However, she saw through the floor-length windows that the rain was still
pouring outside with no signs of stopping.
Great! Now, she was stuck in the store.
Just then, her gaze landed on a man standing outside the bookstore, seemingly waiting for the rain to stop.
