Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 375

“Aah!”

Penelope screamed as new pain flared atop her old injury, her cheek stinging from the slap that left her face twisted in shock.

“What the hell are you doing?!” Benson snapped, his voice sharp with anger and disbelief.

Penelope stared at Anastasia, eyes wide with outrage and confusion. She couldn’t believe it—Anastasia had struck her right in front of Benson! How could she? How dare she?

Anastasia offered a careless, almost playful smile, tilting her head slightly. “Just now, I didn’t even touch her, and yet she accused me of shoving her. You seemed ready to scold me, cousin, so I thought I might as well give her a real reason to complain. No point letting myself be the victim, right?”

Her gaze turned icy as she looked at Penelope. Did Penelope really think that just because Benson was here, she could bully her into submission?

Keep dreaming.

—Well, except maybe for Harrison. But then, her husband would never let anyone hurt her in the first place.

“Are you still planning to yell at me, cousin? If not, I’m leaving.”

Penelope was left speechless, her mind reeling. By the time she snapped out of it, Anastasia was long gone, and fury sent a tremor through her whole body.

What had she even come here for today? Not only had she failed to wring an apology from Anastasia, she’d ended up being scolded and slapped instead!

“Ben…” she choked out, her eyes red and brimming with unshed tears as she looked up at him, radiating wounded innocence. “You saw what she did, right? That’s how Anastasia treats me—even in front of you! Just imagine how much worse she is behind your back…”

“She’s driving me crazy! Now my parents are so upset, they’re actually considering giving up on me… Ben, what am I supposed to do?”
