Once a Doormat Now Untouchable (Caleb and Sydney) novel Chapter 622

At this hour, Jouleston was still wide awake. The streets hummed with traffic and restless noise.

Raymond had arranged only a single driver to take Penelope away. She did not object. As long as they stopped confining her and did not block her from marrying back into the Hamptons, that was enough.

‘So much for valuing Sydney, the long lost daughter. The Huttons do not seem to take her seriously at all.‘ The thought drew a faint curve to Penelope’s lips.

Over the past few years, Sydney had endured relentless bullying. Even after she was found, the Huttons showed

little concern.

Penelope turned her gaze to the window, then felt a sudden unease.

“Did you take a wrong turn?” she asked. “If you don’t know the way, turn on the GPS.”

The driver did not look at her. He said nothing and continued straight ahead, with no sign of changing course.

Her temper flared. “Are you deaf? Raymond told you to take me to the Hamptons. If you go this way, how long do you think it’ll take to get there?”

No matter what, she had once been the Hamptons‘ eldest daughter–in–law. She knew the routes to the Hampton estate well, and none of them passed this way.

The car stopped at a red light. The driver finally glanced back, impatience plain on his face. “When did Mr. Hutton say I was taking you to the Hamptons?”

Her nerves snapped taut. “What do you mean? Where are you taking me?”

‘The Huttons still have connections in government. If they have any restraint at all, they won’t dare do anything extreme.‘ With that thought, she forced her expression into a stern mask.

“What exactly are you trying to do? Don’t forget who I am. If you lay a hand on me…” Her voice stayed firm, but fear crept in all the same.

She grabbed the door handle and yanked. It would not budge.

“Relax,” the driver said flatly. “No one wants to dirty their hands. Didn’t we say it already? We’re sending you off to enjoy life in a wealthy family.”

He watched her panic with cool indifference. “Our employers have always believed in repaying grudges with virtue.” 1

That steadied her a little. “But this isn’t the way to the Hamptons.”

“It’s a wealthy family,” the driver replied lightly as the light turned green and he pressed the accelerator. “But no one ever said it was the Hamptons.”

She stared at him. “Then which one?”

“Sending you off properly. Doing a good deed to the end.” His tone never changed. “We’re finding your child his biological father, the fourth Wolfen heir.”

Penelope’s eyes flew open. Her mind went blank. She replayed her conversation with Raymond at Seraph Villa. From beginning to end, he had never once said the words “Hampton family.”

‘How could this be? Why?!‘

She snapped back to herself, eyes bloodshot as she glared at the driver. “Where’s Diana? She clearly said she’d let me go back to the Hamptons!”

The driver remained unmoved. “Ms. Diana said that if the Hamptons came to propose, you could go back.”

But the Hamptons never came.

“Why didn’t Adeline come?‘ Her head buzzed. She could not make sense of it, but one thing was clear. She could not go to the Wolfens.

Eric was a pervert. That one encounter alone had nearly destroyed her.
