The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 365

“That’s just not going to happen this time.”

When Timothy heard Penelope promise Mrs. Higgins she’d get her son’s score up by another fifty points by the end of the semester, he just shook his head. “Impossible.”

“Yeah, I agree,” Norton added. “Before, you were betting he was in a rebellious phase, intentionally tanking his grades to piss off his parents. We already forced him to show his true potential. There’s nothing left to squeeze out.”

Penelope didn’t say a word. She just smiled, lifted a heavy bag onto the table, and pulled out two thick stacks of cash. As their eyes lit up, she pushed the money toward them.

Both men were suckers for cash and couldn’t resist reaching out, but Penelope pressed her hands down on the stacks, raising an eyebrow at them.

Timothy rolled his eyes. “I knew there was a catch. Your money is never easy to earn.”

“Isn’t it?”

“Fifty points!” Norton grumbled. “The finals are in two months. Unless the kid’s a secret genius, there’s no way we can pull that off.”

“But if you agree right now, this ten grand is yours. Isn’t that right?”

“You never mentioned any extra conditions when we first made the deal!”

“We don’t have a contract,” Penelope said smoothly. “If I decided our verbal agreement was void, you wouldn’t get a dime of this.”

“You’re a shark!” Timothy accused.
