The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 442

“And what about you?” Penelope raised an eyebrow.

“Me?” Theodore narrowed his eyes. “I’m far more loyal than you are, of course!”

The Stapleton family had two lunatics. One was Mrs. Stapleton, who was genuinely ill. The other was Marico, who wasn’t ill but was capable of murder, arson, and every evil imaginable.

As Steven's only son, Marico should have been the heir to the Stapleton family fortune. But because of his violent nature, Mr. Stapleton Sr. had given up on him early on, choosing to groom Theodore instead.

“He was always causing trouble. In elementary school, he threw a classmate into a pond and nearly drowned him. In middle school, he stole a car and caused a multi-vehicle pile-up. In high school, he drove a girl to suicide. In college, he started gambling and lost over a billion.”

Theodore rubbed his temples just thinking about his cousin.

“And he’s tried to kill me more than once.”

Penelope shivered. “Is he… a psychopath or something?”

“Not really. Just spoiled rotten by my aunt.”

“Mr. Stapleton Sr. was the one who sent him abroad?”

“Yeah. After he lost the billion, my grandfather was afraid he’d destroy the entire family if he was left unchecked. So he had him tied up, sent overseas, and locked away somewhere.”

“So he escaped? He’s back in the country?”

Theodore sighed. “Most likely.”

Penelope shrank back. She didn't want to cross paths with this man. He wasn't just crazy; he was a genuine threat.

In the end, Penelope decided not to tell Theodore about the robot issue. The Stapleton family was already facing threats from within and without, and he was stretched too thin.

With that, Penelope decided to meet with Hans herself.

When she called to arrange a meeting, he agreed readily.

The chosen location was a restaurant directly across from the Bishop Group's headquarters.
