Chapter 62 Let Me Heal You
Penny remained calm, oblivious that she had drunk someone else's water.
When the police took Mrs. Bender and Mr. Hardy away, Mr. Preston immediately took charge and welcomed the guests.
Mr. Preston personally came to apologize to Orlando when the farce ended.
"Mr. Fletcher, I'm sorry for causing you embarrassment. Chatville University will be held responsible for all investors, and we will aggressively participate in the police inquiry."
Orlando wrinkled his brow, remarking that Mr. Preston's demeanor was preferable to Mr. Hardy's.
Mr. Preston sighed as he glanced at Penny. "It's been a long time, Perry."
Mr. Preston was quite helpful when Penny switched from painting to design. Under the dual pressure of Mr. Hardy and Fiona, she would have required additional time to complete her degree.
"Mr. Preston, I hope you're well."
"I came up with your designer name back then," remarked Mr. Preston, smiling. "I thought I misheard when I heard Mr. Fletcher's designer's name was the same as yours until I met you today. I am relieved to see that you are doing well."
Although he had helped Penny intentionally a few years ago, he was restricted in what he could do and could only assist her in obtaining her degree.
Fiona was the head of Chatville University's School of Arts and was well-connected and influential. Penny will surely confront various challenges if she proceeded along the path of painting.
Mr. Preston had asked about Penny's intentions at the time. It was clear that she would fail if she continued to paint.
Penny's sole words were, "Break to Rebuild."
She would break through and start again since the previous path was inaccessible.
Mr. Preston was struck with recollections as he looked at Penny. Back then, she was his favorite student.
He was, however, preoccupied and didn't have time for small talk. He had to comfort other visitors to the art exhibition.
Zoey pinched her cheeks as soon as Mr. Preston departed to make sure what just happened was true.
Mr. Hardy and Ms. Bender were in trouble as soon as Perry arrived?
And she even had that snobbish Ruby taken by the police.
