The other members of the family didn't know what had transpired except for the fingers being cut by Damien as they were unaware, unlike the butler who had witnessed the scene where the other man had squeezed Lady Penelope's neck.
Without having any mood to exchange words with anyone, Damien took hold of Penny's hand and dragged her up to his room. Making her sit on the bed, he pulled the chair which was near the desk, making it face her.
In Penny's mind, she could still hear the booming voice of Damien which he had used earlier in the hall while questioning her. In a blink of an eye, Damien disappeared and appeared in front of her, holding snow in his hand.

She shook her head, "You cut a man's fingers without knowing what happened. What if I was wrong?" she questioned him.
"I would still have cut the person's fingers for laying a finger on you," he answered her. With the constant mischievous smile that was lacking on his lips, Penny could see he was in a bad mood.
"I am okay," she said for him to look up from her neck to her eyes. His eyes were still black in color.
