Chapter 69 That's Your Mother's Bad Luck

Cason's face turned pale, then green, then pale again. His lips trembled as he tried to say something but stopped himself.

Helen was furious, grinding her teeth. "So this is how you've always seen our family, Penny! Would your father have let Lana and me endure injustice if it hadn't been for you? Lana's condition worsened as a result! I think you are simply selfish."

"You wish to have your money to buy a house? That depends on whether I agree. Perhaps you don't even know that your father has transferred 10% of the company's shares to me. I also have a say in the business."

When Penny heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Wasn't the 10% shares left to her by her mother?

She couldn't help but look at Cason, who deliberately avoided her gaze.

"Father, did you give that 10% shares to Helen from your own shares, or did you take the shares my mother left for me and give them to her?"

Penny stared straight at her father, trying to read every subtle expression on his face.

Caught red-handed by his own daughter again, Cason felt embarrassed and explained, "I thought you were still young. When you have children, I will naturally give you those shares, including mine. I won't deduct anything from what your mother left for you."

With these words, everything should be clear.

Penny's hands on her side tightened slowly.

"So, Helen's shares are the ones left to me by my mother?"

"Yes, because it was complicated to transfer the shares at that time. The shareholders were causing trouble, and if I transferred my shares, I might have given up control of the company. I own 40% of the shares, and your mother owns 10%. As long as these shares do not fall into the hands of outsiders, it makes no difference who owns them in our family, right?"

Penny closed her eyes slowly, feeling a bitter sensation at the tip of her nose.

That gentle and negotiable tone again.

If Cason had truly treated her badly, she could hate him openly.

But his bad treatment wasn't pure, and his goodness wasn't pure either, which made her uncomfortable.

Seeing her unhappy expression, Cason hurriedly said, "If you mind, I will transfer the 10% shares to you now..."

Penny smiled lightly and shook her head. "No, I just want Helen's shares. My mother was the one who helped you start the company from the ground up. She only came out to enjoy the benefits after your company had made strides. What gives her the right to take what belongs to my mother?"

Helen, who was standing nearby, couldn't contain her rage anymore. She had been unable to hold herself since Cason discussed transferring the 10% shares, and now she erupted.

"It's because your mother had bad luck and didn't get to enjoy it. Who is to blame for this? In the end, your father supported the company solely. He is free to give the shares to anyone he pleases. Now I am his legal wife. If you want your father to purchase you a villa, it's OK, but it has to be registered in my name."

"Enough." Cason pulled her back. "Helen, you should keep quiet.'

He sighed deeply, trying to calm himself down. "Penny, your mother's death was an accident. All these years, I've been trying to make amends to you. I need to look after the company, but I only have so much energy. And Lana has been in the hospital the entire time. Helen has no bad intentions, and she never intended to kick you out of the family. It was your decision to leave, and I attempted to stop you. As for marrying Orlando, is that really such a hardship? Many women would love to marry him."

He paused and continued, "I'll deposit 30 million dollars into your bank account later so you can buy a house. It was my mistake, but you must first apologize to Helen. She is, after all, your elder..." "I won't apologize to her."

Cason couldn't handle losing face after being refuted repeatedly by his own daughter. "Then I won't give you any money."

"You can get the money only if you apologize, Penny."

Penny smirked as she noticed his face turn chilly. "Well, Father, you're probably not going to get the chance. I'm returning to our hometown. I planned a visit to my mother's grave with Philip. If you have the time, you should also go see her."

Penny's tone was indifferent. She didn't want to waste more time here, so she turned to the real estate agent who was standing nearby.

The agent, accidentally caught up in the family drama, felt awkward and quickly raised his hand. "Ms. Stuart, besides this place, there are two other houses. Would you like to take a look?"

Penny gave a nod and began walking away. But then she heard Cason ask angrily, "You're still in contact with Philip?"
