Crack.
The sound of something falling echoed in the penthouse which belonged to Keon Ashford. Penny, who was walking around the entire penthouse rummaging through this and that, now stood still in place.
"What are you doing here, Mateo?" She asked while suppressing the terror in her heart.
Mateo's eyes lazily shifted his eyes from the mess that was scattered all over the floor, the poor couch as well as the tea table to his sister. Staring at her with his eyes which looked colder than usual, he replied,
"Were you not the one who cried and made a fuss about how you were alone and had no one to escort you to the party?"
His reply caused Penny's lips to twitch. She only said those things to her mother to make Kaylyn feel sorry for her.
Penny craved attention as one would crave oxygen.
Thus, she said those words to hear some soothing and comforting words from her mother, while the reprimanding words directed at Keon soothed her heart.
