NovelEnglishChapter 656 Silence, prolonged silence.
Penelope thought Marguerite was just shell-shocked and couldn't snap out of it, so she quickly added, "Marguerite, I don't have tto explain everything! You need to head to the office right now..." Before Penelope could finish, a resigned voice cfrom the other end: "Penelope, what did you just say? I didn't catch that!" Penelope: "!!!" So she had been talking to herself this whole time? The thought made her anxious, and she raised her voice, "You are my daughter! Hayes is your son! Marguerite, did you hear me?" Penelope's throat was dry from shouting, but the signal was so unreliable in the remote hills.
Her words turned into mere static noise by the tthey reached Marguerite. She didn't catch a word! "Penelope! I can't hear you! How about I hang up and call you back?" "Go to the office! Wait forat the office!" "What? Penelope, it's breaking up, I can't hear you!" Penelope shouted, "I said! Go to the office and wait for me! To the office! Wait for me!"

Penelope, still anxious for not being able to reveal the truth over the phone, was followed closely by Yuna in the car behind.
Penelope felt a twinge of panic because her car was already at its limit and couldn't go any faster. And Yuna? She drove as if she had a death wish! Fearing for her safety, Penelope, in a moment of desperation, started dialing the police.
As she was entering the number with one hand, her speed unintentionally dropped. Seizing the moment, Yuna floored the gas pedal, catapulting her car forward.
Just as Penelope was about to press the call button, a sudden impact forced her to swerve sharply.
The airbag deployed with a "bang," disorienting her with a front and back assault. All she could see was a blinding white. Yet, instinctively, she still hit the brakes.
The car cto a halt, but unfortunately, it was on a downward slope.
By then, Penelope had already passed out, unable to engage the handbrake, letting the car slowly slide downhill.

Yuna, too, had stopped her car and was slowly getting out Zoe-harriedly ran from the back seat towards Penelope's car in a panic. As she ran, she attempted to open Penelope's car door, only to find it jammed.
Watching the car nearing the edge, Zoe, in a desperate move, used her car to block Penelope's car from sliding further! This way, she physically combated against the slipping vehicle.
"Yuna, chelp! Look for a rock or something to break the window, and let's pull Penelope out!"
Truth be told, Zoe wasn't entirely altruistic in her efforts. She harbored a huge ulterior motive, Saving Penelope might just earn them a favor, possibly sparing them from her wrath. But Yuna, treating Zoe's words as mere background noise, moved sluggishly, her demeanor that of a zombie.
"What are you spacing out for? Don't you get it? If we save Penelope, she owes us one. She definitely won't En mess with us!"
