"No matter what, you should apologize to Helen. She has been looking for Lana for a long time tonight."

What Cason said was like a stab in Penny's heart.

Cason was reaching out to pat Penny on the shoulder when he was comforting Helen.

"Penny, it's not that Dad doesn't defend you, but you know about Lana's condition. The doctor said... if we don't take good care of Lana, she may only have ten years to live."

Penny recoiled.

It was just a small move, but it showed that there was a wedge between them.

Cason froze, and a shade of loss crossed his face. "Helen was so impulsive! Your face is swollen. I'm going to get you medicine."

Cason was such a hypocrite. Penny already had enough of this.

"Dad, I'm okay."

Her tone was flat, and she dropped her hand off her cheek.

"I'm leaving. Just look after Lana when she wakes up."

When Penny turned around and left, Helen sneered. "You finally show your true colors. Lana remains in critical condition, but you're in a hurry to leave. Do you want Lana to die in there so that you will be the only daughter in the Stuart family?"

"Helen!"

Cason snapped. He thought Helen was being mean.

"Helen was mad when she said that. Don't take it personally..."

Penny's lips curled into a sneer. "No one in the Stuart family would believe me if I said I want Lana alive. I won't hold grudges against Helen for slapping me, but this is the last time I put up with it."

With that, Penny entered the elevator without any hesitation.

As soon as the elevator door closed, Helen pointed her trembling finger at the spot where Penny had been standing.

"What the hell she got an attitude about? She has no respect for you at all!"

Cason sighed.

"Word came from the Fletcher family that they were willing to help us with the second round of financing. The credit goes to Penny. Penny is indeed petulant sometimes, but as an elder, you can't always slap her."

Helen curled her lips and regretted not slapping Penny hard enough.
