Chapter 568: Evil. That was who she was!
Chapter 568: Evil. That was who she was!Without thinking twice, Mark listened to his gut feeling and ran back to the guesthouse. Aside from the work ethic her men told him about, there was one thing Angel had told Mark in all seriousness:
[She’s very sharp. So, don’t lie to her because she’ll know.]
Angel’s words repeated in his mind like a broken record, and when Mark reached the guesthouse, what Angel said proved to be true: Nathaniel wasn’t there anymore.
Standing in front of the bedroom where Nathaniel had been staying, Mark fished his phone out and called one of the men.
"She’s with that guy, Nathaniel," he breathed out, his heart thudding. "Check the CCTVs and see if they snuck out. The rest can keep looking."
"We’re already on it—oh, we found her..." the person on the other end of the line trailed off.
Picking up on the sudden silence, Mark’s expression darkened. "What is it?"
"Uh... Captain?" The person sounded unsure. "They didn’t sneak out, but..."
"But?"
"Uh... I think you need to go there and see for yourself. We’re also not sure what’s going on here," said the person. "They’re near the greenhouse in the garden storage area."
Without waiting for them to finish, Mark ended the call and ran to the location where Penny and Nathaniel were. He wasn’t sure what was happening, but if his men said they were not sure, then it was definitely not good.

Meanwhile, the person on the other end of the line bent over. He placed a hand on the desk, checking the CCTV. In one of the footage clips, all they could see was a bit of Nathaniel’s head.
Where Penny and Nathaniel were was a blind spot. If not for Nathaniel’s head bobbing and something moving up in the air, they wouldn’t have known they were there at all.
"What’s going on in there?" asked the man to the person seated in the chair. The latter squinted before he moved his face closer. "Is that... a shovel?"
The two of them exchanged worried glances before they decided to follow Mark just to be sure. For all they knew, Penny might have just had another drink. Or perhaps she hadn’t. But one thing they knew for sure was that Penny knew Nathaniel, and on the night she caused havoc in this place, she had almost killed him.

Words of Penny’s sudden disappearance quickly spread among the guards in the residence. While they
"Dig," she repeated, this time emphasizing the word while her eyes glinted malevolently.
Nathaniel whimpered as he dramatically clasped his chest, reaching for the shovel and resuming his digging with reluctance. Meanwhile, Mark watched her stare down at the man coldly before glancing around and catching his men watching this unfold in disbelief.
Mark shook his head. ’That’s right. She’s making him dig his own grave... literally.’
No big deal. Zoren would forgive her.
