Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 Close the Stuart Family's Programs

Satire flickered in Orlando's eyes, and his mouth set in a hard line.

"Grandpa, did she say that herself?"

"Yeah, Penny is so sweet."

When Zoey handed Rex the medicine, she really wanted to say something to contradict him, who even praised Penny for being sweet. Every woman in the whole of Chatville dreamed of giving Orlando a child.

Zoey thought it was scheming of Penny to say such things to Rex.

Given Rex's health, Orlando would surely agree, even if it was just lip service.

Zoey'd like to see the day after tomorrow how thick-skinned Penny was!

But then Zoey met Orlando's gaze and closed her mouth slowly.

Orlando put the medicine to Rex's lips. "Grandpa, I'll try my best."

Orlando's reply was exactly the same as before. Rex wasn't sure whether Orlando'd try his best or not, and just held his chin up.

"I'm going to Hills Villa tonight to see if you are working as hard as you say you are."

Rex thought Orlando would panic, but Orlando dropped his gaze. "Do it if you want."

Rex was in no condition to go anywhere. He said that just to test Orlando.

Seeing that there was no fear on Orlando's face, Rex believed what he said.

"In the past three years, you left Penny out in the cold, but she didn't say anything bad about you in front of me. Now, you can take advantage of Zoey's birthday party and officially introduce her to everyone. Back then, your wedding was done in a hurry, so a lot of people still don't know what Penny looks like. She'll get a bad rap then."

Rex was so considerate of Penny.

A touch of annoyance crossed Orlando's face, but he didn't dare raise an objection to Rex's idea.

Orlando and Penny were only husband and wife in name anyway, and she had used her status to lord it over others in the past few years.

"It's good that you're satisfied. The most important thing right now is still your health."

"Did you go see Cason today?"

"I'm going over there later."

Rex was speechless.

Orlando's face was horribly cold as he left Fletcher's mansion.

"Zane, put on hold the big projects the Stuart family has landed lately."

Zane froze, wondering why Fletcher Group was going to close the Stuart family's programs.

Did the Stuart family do something to irritate Mr. Fletcher?

Zane was filled with doubts and questions, but he didn't dare to ask.

The Stuart family did land a project recently, but it was too small for the Fletcher Group.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

Penny had been here before. The owner of this company was Gael, and they had worked together many times before. It wasn't the first time Penny had been here. After all, when they had worked together before, she had often come here to negotiate details with Gael's team.

But now, Penny was stopped.

"I'm here for Mr. Bray."

"I'm sorry. Mr. Bray has gone on a business trip today, and I don't think he'll be back until next week."

This was an excuse. This receptionist clearly knew Penny, and that was why she purposely stopped Penny in her tracks.

Gael didn't answer his phone, and the receptionist informed Penny that he was on a business trip. Penny guessed that in all likelihood, Gael was still at the office and just was not willing to see her for some reason.

A smile crossed her face as Penny said, "Got it, I'll come back later."

The receptionist breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Penny to leave before calling Gael on the intercom.

"Mr. Bray, I've already stopped that lady, and she said she'd come back after."

Gael nodded and hung up before calling the Mckay Group.

"Mr. Mckay, congratulations on your promotion. I did what you told me to do. So, could you sign the contract with my company...?"

Clark smiled slightly, toying with his pen.
