Chapter 169 Unexpected Encounter
Penny glanced at the woman next to Noah. She had flamboyant red hair, thick black eyeliner, and heavy makeup that obscured her authentic appearance.
The woman took a disdainful look at Penny as she approached aggressively, then spat out a word with contempt.
"Noah, who is she?"
"Uh, this is, this is my cousin."
"You're lying! Didn't you say you have no relatives in Chatville? Is this your girlfriend?"
"No, no!"
Noah anxiously tried to explain, but the woman raised her hand, slapped him across the face, and spat on the ground.
"Get lost! Don't you ever come looking for me again, damn it!"
Noah wanted to chase after her, but Penny grabbed his sleeve.
"Noah! Don't forget that you're married. What do you think you're doing? At the very least, go home and get a divorce before hanging around with other women outside!"
The woman hadn't gone far, and upon seeing Noah arguing with Penny, she became enraged, considering the effort she had put into the past half month.
She turned back and forcefully shoved Penny onto the road.
"You slut! You dare steal my man! Didn't you bother to find out who I am?"
Penny didn't expect the woman to rush back and suddenly shove her onto the road.
Just as a car approached, it seemed like she was about to be hit.
Noah stood at the intersection, screaming in panic.
But at the critical moment, the car came to a stop just centimetres away from Penny's cheeks.
Shaken, Penny got up from the road and saw Noah grabbing the woman by the arm.
"Get lost! Get lost! We'll never see each other again!"
"Fine, Noah. If you dare speak to me like that, don't bother coming to work tomorrow!"
Noah's cheeks turned red, and he dared not look Penny in the eye.
Penny had snapped out of it by now, standing up from the ground. She felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the familiar license plate.
The car window rolled down, revealing Orlando's face.
Especially since he didn't even go back to see their parents when something happened, he was nothing short of an animal!
Yet the older generation always thought that having a son was useful, treating him like a precious little bun. Even if he caused trouble, Philip and Haley would clean up after him.
The woman was still standing by Noah's side, and upon hearing these words, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to charge forward.
"What the fuck do you mean? What do you mean by 'this kind of woman'? I earn my own money and spend it cleanly. Don't try to fool me with your educated people's bullshit!"
Indeed, Penny's appearance gave off the impression of someone who had read many books, unlike her.
Noah was getting frustrated and kept scolding her.
"Enough! Shut up! Didn't I tell you to get lost?"
"Fine, I'll get lost. Don't come crawling to me tomorrow with a pathetic face asking me to find you a job!"
That statement completely shattered the man's dignity and happened in front of his cousin. Noah instinctively wanted to run away again, but Penny held him back.
"Can't you take some responsibility? Noah, you're already 28. How long do you plan on letting Haley worry about you?"
This wasn't the first time Penny had said such things to Noah, and he could feel his face flushing with embarrassment.
He took a deep breath, wanting to curse at Penny, but as he felt the strong aura emanating from Orlando beside them, his courage was instantly deflated, leaving him speechless.
