Mrs. Keith looked at Penny with her eyes filled with doubt not because she felt like the fact was hidden from her because the girl didn't appear to look like a slave girl. Over the decades that had passed, she had seen enough slaves know one if their status was leveled up from one position to another.

It was because the slaves were never treated well. Most of the people who brought slaves to their homes, it was for their own greed or to impart the cruelness in their minds. She hadn't heard about Damien buying a slave and even if he did buy the girl named Penelope, it was a shocker.
