**+25 Bonus**<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hampton\u2019s widowed sister-in-law.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eloise paused, her mind racing. \u201cYou mean Penelope?\u201d<\/p>\n
Penelope was not just any relative; she was the mother of the Hampton family\u2019s eldest grandson, a position that carried weight and influence. Eloise\u2019s heart began to race at the implications of offending the Sterlings. If she were to cross them, any repercussions would be entirely justified, and the Hamptons would be left with no grounds for complaint.<\/p>\n
Yet, in this moment, the stakes felt different.<\/p>\n
Sending the matriarch of the Hamptons to entertain the fourth heir of the Wolfen family was a blatant affront, a public slap in the face that could not be overlooked.<\/p>\n
Jason, ever perceptive to her turmoil, leaned in closer, his voice low and reassuring. \u201cDon\u2019t fret about it. Penelope is absolutely desperate to stay on your good side. After all, she seduced her own brother-in-law; spending time with Eric Wolfen is a mere trifle in comparison.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, his expression earnest. \u201cBesides, she won\u2019t dare let the Hamptons find out. To curry favor with the Sterlings, she\u2019ll comply. And to maintain her status as the family\u2019s eldest daughter-in-law, she\u2019ll keep everything under wraps.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eloise felt a wave of relief wash over her. His logic was sound, and she could feel her anxiety dissipating. \u201cThen what are you waiting for? Call her over.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith pleasure, Madam Sterling.\u201d Jason\u2019s response was immediate, a testament to his loyalty.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Penelope was seated in her office, immersed in the details of her work when the call came through. She listened intently as her assistant announced that the clinical trial application had been approved. A thrill of anticipation coursed through her; once production commenced, the trials could finally begin.<\/p>\n
\u2018Sydney, oh Sydney. I truly hope your miracle drug proves to be everything you claim it to be,\u2019 she mused, her thoughts drifting to the ambitious project that had consumed her days and nights.<\/p>\n
Her assistant\u2019s voice faltered, breaking through her reverie. \u201cMs. Monroe, are you absolutely certain this is the latest data from Sterling Corp.\u2019s research institute?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course,\u201d Penelope replied, her tone firm and unwavering.<\/p>\n
She had received the information directly from someone within Sydney\u2019s own project team. The data that Sydney had submitted elsewhere had already been swapped out. The trial application now hinged on a half-finished compound that her own team had hastily concocted. Whether it could actually treat cancer was still up in the air, but the potential side effects were alarming.<\/p>\n
As Sydney\u2019s project approached the testing phase, the fallout would be disastrous. The reputation of Sterling Corp. would be left in tatters. And when that moment arrived, would Julian still be there to shield her from the storm?<\/p>\n
Her assistant seemed to regain her composure, but then her gaze fell on Penelope\u2019s phone, which was flashing insistently on the desk. \u201cMs. Monroe, you have a call.\u201d<\/p>\n
Penelope\u2019s eyes darted to her assistant, a hint of impatience creeping into her voice. \u201cAnd you\u2019re still standing here?\u201d<\/p>\n
Once cautious of this assistant, knowing she had been placed there by the Sterlings to keep an eye on her, Penelope now felt an audacious confidence coursing through her veins, bolstered by the power of the so-called miracle cure she held in her hands.<\/p>\n
The assistant bit back her irritation and slipped out of the room. Only then did Penelope reach for the phone, her heart racing with anticipation.<\/p>\n
Jason\u2019s voice came through with clarity, instructing her to head to the Jedian Hotel to meet a representative from the Wolfen family. A spark of excitement ignited within her as she grabbed her bag and made her way out without a moment\u2019s hesitation.<\/p>\n
While the Wolfens might not hold the same level of influence as the Sterlings in Jouleston, their power in both business and the underworld was undeniable. Establishing a connection with them was an opportunity she could not afford to overlook.<\/p>\n
As she walked through the grand entrance of the Jedian Hotel, Penelope\u2019s mind raced with possibilities. Surely, Eloise wanted to reward her for her cunning in stealing Sydney\u2019s research. But the moment she stepped into the private room, a sense of unease began to twist in her stomach.<\/p>\n
Jason gestured toward a seat, and Penelope followed his hand, her heart sinking as she realized where it led. The chair was positioned beside a man whose appearance could only be described as repulsive.<\/p>\n
She recognized him immediately by reputation: the ugly illegitimate son whose notorious depravity was well-known.<\/p>\n
Suppressing her disgust with great effort, she forced herself to take a seat, her mind churning with thoughts of how to navigate this precarious situation.<\/p>\n
The man leaned in closer, squinting as he scrutinized her before turning to Eloise. \u201cMadam Sterling, is this the Ms. Wilson from your family?\u201d<\/p>\n
The tension in the air was palpable, and Penelope felt the weight of the moment settle heavily upon her shoulders.<\/p>\n
In the climax of this chapter, the emotional stakes reach a fever pitch as Eloise grapples with the precarious balance of power and influence among the elite families. The tension between her desire to protect her family\u2019s reputation and the ruthless ambition of Penelope creates a palpable atmosphere of unease. As Jason reassures Eloise, we see a flicker of hope amidst the turmoil, suggesting a fragile alliance that may hold the potential to navigate the treacherous waters ahead. This moment encapsulates the essence of their struggle\u2014navigating personal loyalties while facing the relentless ambitions of those around them.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Penelope\u2019s journey into the depths of moral ambiguity is both thrilling and unsettling. Her initial excitement at the prospect of meeting the Wolfen representative quickly gives way to dread as she confronts the reality of her choices. The encounter with the repugnant man serves as a stark reminder of the lengths she is willing to go to secure her place in this cutthroat world. As the chapter closes, the tension lingers, leaving the reader to ponder the consequences of ambition and the sacrifices made in the name of power.
