Chapter 166 Moving
Penny withdrew her gaze, feeling relatively unaffected. At most, like the others in Chatville, she couldn't help but praise the perfect match in the circle.
However, she couldn't help but feel that Orlando didn't have the best judgment.
Although she didn't know Angie personally, everything about Angie exuded a strong sense of fake innocence.
And yet, Orlando was willing to keep a woman who admired him by his side, all for the sake of unrequited love.
The group remained silent until they reached the first floor.
Out of courtesy, Penny let them go ahead.
A few executives followed behind Orlando as they left.
Penny had initially planned to head directly to Fayside Studio, but she remembered her father's instructions. Tonight, she must bring Orlando to the Stuart's mansion.
Given Orlando's disgust towards her, even if she were suddenly ill and on the verge of death, she doubted he would step foot in Stuart's mansion to take a look unless Rex coerced him.
Penny was tired of playing this game of cat and mouse with Orlando, but she had signed the contract and could only continue to play her role.
Moreover, the most important construction schedule had already been determined, and she would have to spend more time at the material market, making her busier.
However, the thought of being exhausted every day and returning to Hills Villa, where she had to cautiously avoid Orlando, filled her with weariness.
Letting out a sigh, Penny heard her phone ring-it was a call from the bank.
Surprisingly, it was the money from selling her house!
Her eyes lit up, finally finding joy amidst her recent misfortunes.
"Okay, I understand. I will immediately contact the real estate agency to settle the remaining payment."
She didn't have to repay the 1.5 million dollars owed to Orlando, saving her a significant amount. She owed him too many favors, and the best she could do for him was to distance herself as his wife and not disturb his reunion with the unrequited love.
Penny was sensible and didn't need Orlando's explicit request to do so.
She would complete the remaining paperwork with the real estate agency and head to that house.
The house's previous owner had already renovated it so that she could move in with her bags.
She understood that Ms. Stuart didn't have any feelings for Mr. Fletcher. If Mr. Fletcher found out that the woman he never cared for seemed to not care for him, she didn't know how he would feel.
Penny took half of her luggage, which was actually just a small suitcase, and went to her new home.
After putting all her clothes into the wardrobe, she familiarized Niko with the new surroundings.
Niko was quite well-behaved. After barking a few times inside, he stood at the door and looked across.
"It's so cute."
A surprised woman's voice came from the doorway, followed by a playful voice from a man next to her.
"Colin, I want to have a puppy too. Is it okay?"
Penny was still sweeping the floor when she heard these words. She looked up and saw Colin standing at the entrance with an unfamiliar woman in his arms.
This house was worth over 2 million dollars, and this residential area was always called the affluent. But Penny never expected Colin's new girlfriend to live across from her.
The structure of the building was one staircase serving two households, and it had five floors. As luck would have it, Penny had bought the fifth floor, which meant that this entire floor belonged to her and Colin's new girlfriend.
