The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 134

“Penelope, you can’t keep acting like this…”

Before Mrs. Sullivan could finish, her phone pinged. She glanced at the screen, and her eyes widened in horror.

“Thirty thousand! What did you do? How did you just spend thirty thousand dollars?”

Zebulon’s face went pale at the amount. “Penelope, you’ve gone too far!”

They both started yelling at her, but then paused, a flicker of confusion crossing their faces. Penelope was standing right in front of them. How could she have made such a large purchase?

“You…”

“Oh no!” Penelope exclaimed, rummaging through her purse. She flipped through her wallet and then her eyes widened. “The card… it’s gone! I must have lost it!”

“Lost it?” Mrs. Sullivan gasped. “So… you weren’t the one who made these purchases?”

Penelope shook her head. “I did go to the mall today, but I used my own money.” Why on earth would she use the Sullivans’ money to buy things for her new life with Theodore? That would be absurd.

“Someone must have found it and is using it,” Mrs. Sullivan muttered. “But how would they know the PIN?”

Penelope frowned. “We can worry about that later. We need to call the police!”

“Right, right, the police!” Mrs. Sullivan agreed. “I want that thief caught and thrown in jail! And I want my money back!”

While Mrs. Sullivan called the police, Zebulon frantically called the bank to freeze the card. The thief, being an amateur, was apprehended quickly and caught red-handed, leaving no room for denial.
