Penelope suddenly froze, "Cameron, what's wrong with you?" Why was he looking at her with such eyes?
Cameron stared at her firmly, "Penelope, why do you insist on participating in Mr. Turner's experimental research?"
Penelope's heart tightened and tears welled up instantly, "Cameron, I'm doing this for you. Do you want to be trampled under Selena's feet? You've worked so hard for so many years, why does Selena have the right to take everything away from you so easily?!"
Cameron gazed at this familiar face. Apart from being more extreme, there was no difference in Penelope's eyes compared to the way she had looked at him over the past decade.
Cameron wearily averted his gaze, "Penelope, you should admit one thing."
"What?" Penelope asked.
"You and I owe her."
Penelope's face turned completely pale in an instant, and her voice became sharp, "Even you think I owe her? It's Selena who has never accepted me. Can't you see how she humiliates me and targets me?"
"Cameron, you're my boyfriend. Why are you speaking up for Selena? Hasn't she caused me enough suffering? Why are you helping her and opposing me?"
By the end of her speech, she could no longer hide her resentment.
Cameron didn't look at her and spoke softly, "The Soo family has a marriage contract with the Turner family, and my eldest brother has returned. If nothing unexpected happens, Selena may marry into the Soo family in the future. You... should avoid her in the future."
Penelope was confused at first, but her face twitched, "The Soo family has to fulfill the marriage contract with the Turner family? Cameron, is your family crazy? Selena already has a boyfriend, and her reputation in Creephia is so bad... Why would your eldest brother like a woman who is past her prime?"
Cameron suddenly lowered his voice, "Penelope!"
Penelope realized she had said something wrong, her face turned pale, but she stubbornly looked up and refused to back down.
Looking at her eyes, Cameron's disappointment was faintly visible, "Penelope, you should know that if it weren't for you, the Riddle family wouldn't have ignored her for so many years. Everyone in the world can use those rumors to gossip about her, except for you!"
Penelope was angry and wanted to refute, but in the face of such a solid fact, she had no room for argument.
Although Penelope was not entirely sure why the Riddle family, who had known about Selena's existence early on, gave up on her because they were afraid she would be hurt, she was once proud of this fact and naturally did not delve into the reasons behind it.
Now that Cameron has pointed out the whole truth, it has made Penelope feel embarrassed and difficult to accept.
Penelope gritted her teeth and said, "Why did Selena come back? If she hadn't come back, there wouldn't be so many things happening. Clearly, everyone in the capital wanted her to disappear! She shouldn't have come back at all!"
Cameron's disappointment was immediately visible in his eyes, and he looked deeply at her before suddenly turning around and walking away.
Penelope was startled, and seeing Cameron's back, she finally realized that she had said too many abnormal things today. Her face changed in an instant, and she hurriedly caught up with him, saying, "Cameron!"
Cameron paused his footsteps slightly, didn't turn around, and his voice was cold, "Penelope, perhaps in the grudges of the previous generation, we are not qualified to measure who is right or wrong, but I hope you are not blinded by jealousy and become someone who doesn't even know right from wrong!"
Penelope was panicked, and tears burst out in an instant. She rushed up from behind and hugged him, saying, "No, Cameron, listen to me explain, I didn't mean to. I was just too angry and too scared. I spoke wrongly in the heat of the moment..."
Cameron's voice was very low, "I just said that the Soo family may be engaged with the Turner family next, do you know what that means?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
