Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 34

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?"
