Chapter 198 Mr. Fletcher Doesn't Like You
Penny truly didn't know Cason called Rex, feeling a wave of exhaustion. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Besides, she heard that Orlando had been to the Stuart family that night and had even warned them.
Now Orlando should feel even more disgusted with this so-called wife.
Her father always did things that made her feel embarrassed.
But Penny was well aware that if she expressed her dissatisfaction with her father at this moment, Lana
would be the happiest.
"Well, I understand."
She was about to leave, bypassing Lana.
Lana stiffened and was staggered.
Penny's relationship with Cason had always been strained. Now that Penny knew Cason had called
Rex, how could she not blame him?
Lana had been in poor health. She had been waiting here since four o'clock in the morning. It had been
for two hours.
Now Penny's reaction made her lose her temper instantly.
"Penny, Mr. Fletcher was with another woman in this hotel last night."
She thought that Penny hadn't been with Orlando.
But Penny's next words caused her to be heartbroken.
"I know. Last night, I was in the same room as him."
Her tone was flat, but it stabbed at Lana like a sharp knife.
Lana momentarily forgot to retort and stood there in a daze.
Seeing Penny about to leave, she panicked and blurted out, "How could you!"
Realizing that her tone was too harsh, she quickly added in a softer tone, "How could you be in the
same room as Mr. Fletcher? Mr. Fletcher doesn't like you, Penny. You don't have to degrade yourself
for the Stuart family. I know you're just trying to avoid opposing Dad."
A hint of confusion appeared in Penny's eyes, as she pretended not to understand. "Orlando and I are
husband and wife. Shouldn't we be in the same room? And what Dad said was right. So many women
in Chatville want to marry Orlando but don't have the chance. Since I'm lucky enough to marry him, I
have to do everything I can to keep him, right?"
Every word she said was that Lana didn't want to hear.
Lana's face turned red with anger, and her breathing trembled.
Meanwhile, Penny had brought back the food.
Seeing the food for two, Lana was angrier.
But in order to avoid arousing Penny's suspicion, she forced a smile.
"Penny, it turns out that you and Mr. Fletcher have such a good relationship."
Penny smiled back indifferently as if saying it ought to be so.
The more nonchalant she appeared, the more furious Lana was.
Once Penny left, Lana slowly released her fist, her palm stained with blood. Her chest also heaved up
and down heavily.
She had to come up with a plan. She couldn't let Penny continue to be so close to Orlando.
"Cough cough cough."
Lana coughed fiercely in anger, trembling.
She wished she could tear Penny apart with her eyes, but the reality was that she couldn't do anything.
She could only watch helplessly Penny enter the elevator.
Penny could sleep in the same bed as Orlando and share breakfast with him, while she had to spend a
lot of time staking out the places he frequented. Every time she caught a glimpse of him, she felt her
world lit up.
How could Penny have this privilege?
She was devoured by hatred. She resented her ill health.
Hatred towards her useless body.
Penny had arrived at the room with the food.
Orlando was still reading documents, and the light in the room cast a glow on him, like a golden halo
around him.
As a painter, Penny had an itch to capture this scene on canvas.
Orlando's physique was the most perfect proportion she had ever seen. She believed that every painter
who saw him would not be able to resist taking hundreds of photos of him as material for figure
drawing.
She placed the food on the coffee table and reached up to tidy the documents, just as Orlando reached
for the same file. Their hands unexpectedly touched.
Orlando stiffened and looked up at her.
Penny quickly let go, but her haste caused her to accidentally knock over the milk, spilling it onto the
pile of documents. The milk dripped and soaked the papers, some even flowing onto the floor.
Orlando's brow furrowed, his face turning completely dark.
Penny realized she had caused trouble and shrunk back, her shoulders hunching in embarrassment as
she bit her lip.
Her appearance, especially when she bit her lip, made her look somewhat pitiful.
Orlando had intended to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat. He couldn't say a single
word at this moment.
Penny quickly withdrew her hand but accidentally knocked over the milk, which spilled onto the pile of
documents. The milk soaked them, some even flowing onto the floor.
Orlando's brow furrowed, and his face fully darkened.
Penny realized she had caused trouble and hunched her shoulders, biting her lip in embarrassment.
She was good-looking, especially when she bit her lip, which made her look delicate and touching.
Orlando had intended to say something, but the words had stuck in his throat. He couldn't say a single
word at this moment.
