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.
