Credence Penelope Douglas Summary Novels & Stories

She hoped that Caleb could take pity in her, even by the slightest. But Caleb looked away after saying that. Penelope shouted, "Caleb, I'm telling the truth! He can prove it!" Penelope wanted to grab the fake Dr. N to prove her innocence, but she looked around and found him missing. Ember looked at her like a fool. A liar was never a reliable witness. "Enough. Ms. Ferguson, you may leave now." Caleb did not believe Penelope at all. He just glared at her furiously. Penelope was heartbroken after Caleb ignored her tearful explanation in front of everyone. She was so embarrassed that her face turned pale.

Just turned her back and walked away like I was nothing. She’s alive. Still breathing. Still dangerous. Still wearing that Shadowmoor crest like she didn’t help light a match to my world. And Penelope? She’s hers. Same pack. Same legacy. But gods, she’s not her. Penelope looked at me like she wasn’t sure she was worthy of being looked at. Like she was waiting to be thrown aside. I’ve seen girls seduce with their eyes. But she? She ached. And fuck me—I ached back.

And from the moment she’d returned, Kayla had felt her gaze on her, cold and judgmental. Now, surrounded by a small group of employees—some she’d worked with for years, some she’d barely spoken to—Penelope looked like she was enjoying every moment. “I heard you were being sued,” she said, her voice loud enough for the entire office to hear. “Identity theft, fraud. Who would have thought? The girl who played the hero, taking down Kang Jin, was just a criminal in disguise.”

“Marcus, calm yourself. Listen—just listen. If she even has a hint, a lead, it’s better than nothing. Raine’s life is on the line.” Marcus’s gaze flicked back to Raine, her pale, fragile form under the healer’s careful watch. His wolf growled low, a rumble of frustration, distrust, and desperation. Slowly, his eyes narrowed back at Penelope. “Fine,” he said finally, low and dangerous, “if you’re serious—and I don’t believe you are—you better not waste my time. One false move, one lie, and I swear…” Penelope held his gaze without flinching, voice steady despite the tension. “I’m not lying,” she said softly, almost defensively. “I just… I just want to help.”

"That woman — it was to do with work that's all. Penelope was asleep the entire time." "I trusted you with her and this is what you do, bringing strange woman around my daughter. You really haven't changed at all."I walked towards the door, holding a sleeping Penelope. I was angry, the type of anger that he can only bring out in me. He told me that it was work related, but I didn't know if to trust his word. After all, the last time I trusted Mason Knight he left me alone and pregnant with his baby.

Penelope walked down the long hallway of Duke Diamond's capital residence. Her heart was pounding–she thought she had to go East to visit Celine, but she was glad that her best friend had already arrived in the capital. She walked over to Celine's room door and hoped to see her right away, like when they were kids. But… "What do you mean she doesn't want to see me?" asked Penelope in surprise when she heard the words of a maid who barred her from entering Celine's room. “I am Celine's best friend!”

Penelope reached out to touch her nose, asking, "So what if I took it seriously, then?" Caleb teased, "You're just a side character. Why are you acting as if you're the female protagonist?" Penelope hit him in the chest and proudly replied, "I've been the female protagonist since I was young!" Caleb clicked his tongue. "How narcissistic of you." The three of them reached the elevator while they were talking. Caleb then pressed the elevator button. Brandon turned to Penelope and said, "I think you should just give up on this, Penelope. Bryce had a messy relationship with his ex-wife and ex-girlfriend. You shouldn't get yourself involved in it."

So what had changed? A woman of Montelgo is confident in herself. Tita Claudia’s words echoed in my mind. She had become like a second mother to me, despite not being my own. Her strength and wisdom had helped shape me into who I was today. Mama’s voice brought me back to the present. “Darling, trust yourself. I don’t want my Penelope looking anything less than radiant on her wedding day,” she said, gently brushing my cheek with the tenderness only a mother could possess.

"Isn't it because you're shameless enough?" What man could resist a woman who threw herself at him without restraint? Yet Adeline had never thought her youngest son would truly lack such principles. She had always believed Caleb to be a self-disciplined, courteous, well-bred gentleman. The only explanation was that Penelope was simply too brazen, too shameless. Penelope did not get angry. Instead, she smiled faintly. "Do you remember that car accident back then? The one that killed your husband and landed you in the hospital in Brimcrest City?"

"I'm so good! I can't believe it! My plan was a success! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!" Yes, you all heard it right. Everything that happened earlier was Clark's plan. He set up that robbery stunt. He was the one who got Penelope's paper bags while I waited for him to hand me the paper bags. And when he did, I jogged towards her to return them. "What? No, I won't" I refused Clark's suggestion. He suggested that I should make Penelope my subject. Because since she is famous, many people would love to read anything about her.
