Chapter 366
Charlie didn’t say anything.
Penelope also dared not speak.
The room fell into a deep silence.
After a while, Charlie glanced at Penelope.
Penelope also looked at him..
Penelope coughed lightly, saying, “Actually, it’s just difficult to conceive, not impossible.”
Charlie’s eyebrows instantly furrowed deeply.
Penelope’s heart skipped a beat.
She thought, ‘Does Dad actually care about this? The situation for Susan might become difficult then.”
Penelope couldn’t help but feel anxious.
She thought, ‘If Dad becomes unhappy because of this, it would definitely lead to a conflict with Ben. Ben will never give up on Susan. But Dad’s health has finally improved a bit. What if a dispute arises and it affects his health again?
Penelope’s mind raced, and she became extremely worried.
“Penelope, your thinking is wrong,” Charlie said sternly.
“I…” Penelope became even more flustered.
She thought, ‘Dad actually cares much about Susan’s difficulty in conceiving, right?
Then, she heard Charlie say, “Even if she can’t conceive, so what?”
“But…” Penelope was about to say something, but suddenly, she froze and looked at Charlie in shock.
She thought, ‘Huh? Did I mishear?
Charlie sighed, “You may look younger than me, but your thinking is so outdated.“.
Penelope was confused.
Charlie looked frustrated. “Susan’s health was never good to begin with. If she has another child and it affects her vitality, what should we do? It’s better for her to continue to rest and recover even if it’s difficult to conceive.”
Penelope was surprised. “Dad, I thought you would care about the Landor family’s legacy.”.
Charlie said indifferently, “Legacy? Ben built the Storm Group himself, and he will naturally hand the company over to the

right person. As for my wealth, I’ve already decided to donate it all in a hundred years. The inheritance and all that are not that important.”
Charlie was really carefree about it.
Penelope couldn’t help but be amazed. “Dad, your thinking is too progressive.”
Charlie chuckled, saying, “I’m already this old. The only thing I’ve learned over the years is to be more open–minded. When times are good, we should enjoy them, but we should not seek trouble unnecessarily.”
Charlie’s voice carried a hint of lecturing as he finished speaking.
Penelope understood and couldn’t help but laugh.
She was worried that Charlie would be unhappy because of this report.
But she didn’t expect that Charlie was also worried that she would cause trouble.
Penelope couldn’t help but say, “Dad, don’t worry. I’m not an ungrateful person. I’ve been grateful to Ben and Susan for taking me in this past year. How could I cause trouble for them?”
Charlie couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. “Then let’s pretend we didn’t see this report?”
Penelope nodded repeatedly. “That’s the decision then.”
Charlie and Penelope, in agreement, threw the report into the shredder.
However, even though they decided to treat this test result as non–existent, Charlie still felt that the delivery of the report
was strange.
He first confirmed with the hospital.
The hospital stated that Susan had not undergone any physical examinations recently, and they had not sent out her test
report.
Charlie thought, ‘If the delivery wasn’t from the hospital, then who could it be from?”
Doubts filled Charlie’s mind.
He secretly asked the family doctor for information.
Using some methods, Charlie got the family doctor to truthfully reveal Susan’s condition.
Susan’s body was indeed as the test report had stated, not conducive to conception.
So, the question was who sent the report.
It was worth noting that Ben kept this matter tightly hidden, and even Susan herself might not know about it.
So how did the person who sent the report find out?

After that person found out, what was the purpose of sending the package?
Charlie always felt that this person had some ulterior motives, which made him worried.
After all, the Landor family was well–known, and although they seemed to be flourishing, there were indeed many people eyeing them from behind the scenes.
However, for this person to have obtained such private information, it was likely that they had a close relationship with Ben.
This seemed to be somewhat dangerous.
Charlie was very concerned.
However, Ben deliberately kept this matter a secret, so he couldn’t bring it up.
In the end, Charlie decided to suppress this matter for now and observe it first.
Charlie was able to remain calm.
Penny, on the other hand, couldn’t remain calm.
She was certain that Charlie had seen the message she deliberately sent out,
After all, she had seen the butler bring the documents in with her own eyes.
The fact that Charlie called the family doctor the next day clearly indicated that he believed the report she had fabricated.
She thought, ‘But why didn’t he cause a commotion? He doesn’t care about having no heir and no descendants? It’s rare for ordinary families not to care, let alone the Landor family, let alone Charlie himself.”
In Penny’s prediction, once she planted this information, Charlie would most likely be dissatisfied with Susan, and Susan’s days would not be so good.
If she could make Susan suffer greatly, Penny felt that she would have vented her anger.
But the situation was different from what she had imagined
The Landor residence remained as peaceful and harmonious as ever.
She felt that this might be an illusion, so she specifically went to see Susan several times
Susan still had that carefree look and didn’t seem to have been
