When Fate Plays Its Hand (Miranda and Hansel) novel Chapter 464

Chapter 0464 

The slap was loud and crisp. 

Penelope’s actions were so swift. After she slapped Walter, she started scolding him loudly, “What did I tell you before we left the house? You have to behave and not touch other people’s things. 

“You completely ignored me, didn’t you? Hurry up and hand the documents over! You must be tired of living. Do you want to end up in jail? You disobedient little brat…” 

No one had time to react. 

Walter was stunned, and his parents were dumbfounded. Even Miranda froze in shock.

“Waahh! Grandma hit me!” Walter finally regained his senses and burst into sobs. This time, he was genuinely crying, unlike his crocodile tears from before. “I didn’t take it! I don’t know where the papers are! 

“Say that again? Do you think I won’t beat the life out of you?” Penelope was both furious and scared. 

“I won’t tell you! I’m not saying anything!” 

“You brat! How dare you be disobedient and take things without permission! Hurry up and hand it over!” Penelope didn’t hold back and started smacking Walter’s bottom repeatedly. 

Reggie and Camie tried to intervene the entire time. They pleaded and pulled but to no avail. 

“Old ha 

hag, how dare you hit me! You should just die already!” Walter screamed. 

Penelope almost fainted from anger at his words. In the end, she only backed off after the police officers stepped in to stop her. 

Fortunately, Walter had been beaten into submission. He tearfully fished out a stack of documents from 

under the couch. 

An officer said, “Ms. Sutton, please check the documents.” 

After verifying that the papers were indeed her missing documents, Miranda nodded. “Yes, these are my reports.” 

“Good.” 

As Miranda put her documents away, she turned to Walter’s parents after some hesitation. “My room was locked. Your son climbed in through the window. The second floor is at least 30 feet off the ground. 

“Have you ever considered what were the consequences if a young child like him slipped and fell? At that point, it wouldn’t just be about some missing documents. It could’ve been a matter of life or death!”

Reggie and Camie’s faces turned pale. Feeling guilty, Walter kept his head down. 

That night, Penelope and her family packed their belongings to return to the village. Given that it was almost midnight, Lionel offered to let them stay another night and leave in the morning. 

Penelope sighed and said, “Lionel, your family has always been generous, unlike your mother… You should be careful in the future…”

With that, she left with her entire family. 

Lionel frowned. Be careful? Be careful of whom?
