Chapter 34 Penny's Compromise

Chapter 34 Penny's Compromise

"Yes."

Penny responded casually. As she did not like talking about this, her attitude was somewhat cold.

A gleam of joy flickered in Lana's eyes as she rejoiced at Penny's answer.

Penny parked the car in the courtyard of the Stuart's mansion, and she had intended to leave right after dropping Lana off. However, it happened that Cason was watering flowers in the courtyard, and Talon was with him.

Penny frowned at that, and Lana had already gotten out of the car and run over.

"Dad, Talon."

Cason was explaining the company's affairs to Talon, and when he saw Penny's car from a distance, he stopped.

Penny could only get out of the car to greet him, "Dad."

Cason handed the kettle in his hand to a servant and sighed softly, "Welcome back home. Get in. Helen has made a lot of delicious food tonight, and I also have something to tell you."

However, Penny still had to go to meet Orlando, and there was not much time left now.

Therefore, she said, "Dad, I have something else to do now. Let's talk about it later."

"It's about the company."

Cason raised his hand and patted Talon's back with a serious and satisfied expression.

Penny suddenly felt a bad foreboding.

The next moment, she heard Cason continue, "Talon hasn't had any serious job in recent years, so his mother asked me to let him intern at the company. I've read his report, and I know he's been working really hard lately. What do you think?"

Penny didn't speak, and her eyes were calm, for she had already guessed it.

She thought, "Well, Helen is really a smart woman. Now she wants to put her son in the company. In the future, she may even find a way to let her son inherit everything from the Stuart family." "Penny, it's rare for us to get together. Let's get in and have a nice chat. Dad was just talking about you."

Penny looked over at Talon expressionlessly. Talon was smiling brightly, and his tone sounded like he was Penny's real brother.

From the moment Penny entered, however, his gaze was riveted upon her, and his eyes were dark.

He and Lana each stood by Cason's side and occasionally said something to please Cason.

Although Penny was not far away, there seemed to be an invisible wall between them.

She was like an outsider who had suddenly intruded, and she felt very out of place.

Penny was silent for a moment, feeling an indescribable loss.

Then she said, "Dad, I really have something else to do."

As soon as she had finished speaking, the smile on Cason's face gradually subsided. "Penny, I know how nice Lana has been to you all these years. Today is her birthday, and she insisted on getting discharged early in order to celebrate it at home. Do you have to leave now?"

His tone was grave.

Lana quickly took Penny's hand and said, "Penny, let's get in."

After saying that, she turned to Cason. "Dad, don't be angry. Penny just doesn't know how to express herself."

Penny slowly broke free from Lana's hand.

Then she said bluntly, "I have an appointment with Orlando to discuss divorce at exactly twelve o'clock."

Her tone was very casual, and as she lifted her eyes, she saw Cason raise his palm with a furious expression.

"You!"

However, he still didn't slap Penny in the end. With a black face, he drew a few heavy breaths. Then he covered his chest and fell back.

Lana and Talon quickly supported him. "Dad!!"

Helen, who was in the house, heard the noise and came out to see the scene. She was so scared that she quickly called for the family doctor.

She then pushed away Penny, who was about to help Cason.

The next moment, she pointed to Penny's nose and scolded harshly, "If you're not willing to come back, just stay away from us forever. Your father has not had a good night's sleep these days for the company. How could you treat him like this?"

Penny's face was tense, and the family doctor rushed to the scene amid the chaos.

After being pressed against his chest several times, Cason finally woke up and waved his hand feebly.

Penny looked at him, and her eyes grew red. "Dad, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Cason. He took a few deep breaths and then said, "Penny, your mother passed away early. I have neglected many of your feelings, which have caused your present estrangement from me.

"If you really want to divorce Orlando, I will not stop you, but at least do that after the company's second funding is over, okay? Please."

Penny lowered her eyes and finally nodded in compromise.

Helen snorted coldly when she saw how reluctantly Penny was, "Don't you know who Orlando is? It's a blessing that you can be his wife, okay?"

Penny somehow found it hard to breathe, as if her heart had been clasped by a hand.

She did not want to stay here and spoil their fun.

Therefore, she whispered, "Dad, have a good rest, and I'll come see you later."

"Do you still want to divorce Orlando?'

"I'll discuss with him to postpone the divorce."

Cason finally breathed a sigh of relief. As if exhausted, he did not say another word.

Penny walked out of the courtyard and checked the time. It was already ten past twelve.

She couldn't help but think in worry, "Is Orlando still at the Fletcher's mansion? Will he agree to postpone the divorce?"
