"Penelope you betrayed your family's name" the duke looked at the child who held her bloody hands in a clenched fist.

"I never betrayed your family" she cried "I wasn't even your daughter to begin with" that last sentence wasn't even a mumble she just stated facts.

"You ungrateful bitch-"

"Reynold language" Derrick said though his face was filled with disgust Penelope just wanted to move out already l.

"That's another thing I plan to move out" Penelope's words echoed through their heads.

"What?"

"I'm moving out of your sights" replied Penelope who smiled with pride she hoped the Eckharts would be happy that she's moving out but... they have a look of despair which confused her as she thought they would just let her go.

"Well where will you go you owe the Eckharts a lot with us paying for your needs" Reynold haughty said there was a bit of nervousness and doubt in his voice.

"With my benefactors" she said.

Now it's the male faction that were speechless.

"They offered to adopt me as their official daughter-"

"Penelope Eckhart what did you say?" Penelope was frozen the tone she sure they would accept reason and obviousness as she was sure they would be happy... a wave of panic rushed over her.

"You heard me they offered to adopt me as their child you can focus on you daughter-"

"Just who do you think you are?!"

Penelope felt a pain on her shoulders Reynold was gripping her shoulders so tight that tears were pouring out.

"Let me go!" Penelope pushed the man away from her she looked at the duke who began to move close to her out of panic she rushed out running to her room for comfort.

The Eckharts all were dumbfounded by Penelope's sudden burst.

"Darling Penelope what happened?!"
