"Is that so?" Selena looked deeply at Penelope, then looked up at the door and said, "Grandpa, come in."
As soon as Selena finished speaking, the door to the abandoned lot was instantly pushed open from the outside.
Candy was the first to rush in and ran to Nova, hugging her tearful sister and crying, "Nova, it's okay, it's okay..."
Nova had been holding back her tears, but when she was in her sister's arms, she could no longer contain her fear and burst into tears.
Candy held her sister tightly, crying with her.
Then, with a group of people accompanying him, Antonio walked in, with a terrifyingly dark expression.
When Penelope saw Antonio, she was first panicked, then overjoyed.
Selena had made it clear that she wouldn't let Penelope go, but with Antonio's arrival, it was good news for her.
Penelope softened her voice and cried out, "Grandpa, Selena wants to kill me, please save me..."
Antonio stared at Penelope with a dark look.
He thought she only wanted to deal with Selena out of jealousy and resentment, but he never expected her to conspire with these people to actually try to kill Osvaldo.
Even though Antonio was still grieving and guilty over Cassius, after hearing about Penelope's malicious intentions, it all disappeared like foam.
He finally had to admit that perhaps he was wrong.
As long as she was alive, driven by ambition and jealousy, she would never feel wrong or give up trying to harm Osvaldo and Selena.
"She wants to kill you because you did something wrong and deserve it. What can I do for you?" Antonio said coldly and ruthlessly.
Penelope had thought that Antonio had come to protect her, but she never expected to hear such a cruel and heartless remark. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and tears welled up in her eyes as she trembled and shouted, "Grandpa..."
Antonio looked up and his gaze fell on Nova, who was crying in her sister's arms, about the same age as Penelope. Because of Penelope's wickedness, the poor girl had suffered an unwarranted disaster.
Was Penelope's life worth more than anyone else's?
Deep sadness flashed in Antonio's eyes. "You are not a daughter of the Anderson family..."
Penelope's whole body went cold, and she froze.
Antonio's gaze returned to Penelope's face, and he spoke coldly, "The blood of the Anderson family is proud, strong, and loyal. We may be ruthless and cruel, but we never stoop to despicable and malicious acts, nor do we harm the innocent. What part of you resembles anyone from the Anderson family?"
Penelope's face turned pale, and she suddenly softened, "No... no, grandpa, I..."
Antonio stared deeply at Penelope, trying to find a trace of Cassius in her, but in the end, he was disappointed.
Penelope had neither the arrogance of Cassius nor the loyalty of the Anderson family.
After more than a decade of being open and sincere with Cameron, she used him and then abandoned him without hesitation.
