Chapter 358


    "yton, I have realized my mistakes. Please don''t go!" Penny struggled to get up from the ground and


    staggered as she ran over to her brothers while wailing, "yton, I was young and foolish back then to


    be deceived by Walter. I realize that I''m wrong now…" She chased after yton and tried to grab onto


    his arm.


    Noticing that, Colton turned around and kicked her on the stomach and growled, "Get lost! The Walker


    Family does not wee a brute like you! We don''t ever want to see you again!" Colton and yton


    avoided her like the gue.


    Penny hugged her stomach in pain and curled up in a ball as shey on the ground while crying


    hysterically. She finally knew what it felt like to lose everything she had in less than a day, while


    experiencing both helplessness and hopelessness at the same time.


    Her husband wanted to divorce her, and her family wanted to cut ties with her. Even her own sons


    seemed indifferent when they watched her suffer. After today, she had been alienated by her family and


    was left homeless.


    When Penny was crying her eyes out, Madeline''s phone rang. After looking at her phone, she


    whispered to Sebastian, "Leigh is here." Hearing that, he nodded and signaled for her to take matters


    into her own hands.


    "Mr. Eddie, my friend has just arrived. I''ll go get her." Madeline stood up and told Eddie.


    "Sure." He nodded.


    Soon after she left the living room, she came back with Leigh.


    Jennifer''s eyes lit up when she noticed Leigh and immediately went up to her. "Dr. Shefford, are you


    willing to treat my daughter''s illness?"


    "Sure." She smirked. "But with a condition!"


    "Just name it!" Jennifer eximed. "As long as you are willing to treat my daughter''s illness, we will


    agree to any of your conditions."


    "It sounds good." Leigh nced over at Penny who was curled up on the ground and continued, "I only


    have one condition, and that is for her to be arrested by the police. If you can get it done, I''ll treat your


    daughter''s illness. Otherwise, it''ll be the end of our discussion!"


    "Get the police to arrest her? Why?" Jennifer was puzzled.


    Brandon, who was calmer than Jennifer, responded politely, "Dr. Shefford, please take a seat and we


    shall discuss it."


    Since Leigh was willing to go there, it meant that there was room for negotiation. However, it was


    unlikely that they would call the cops to arrest Penny since it concerned the Penham Family''s


    reputation.


    What Penny did was so embarrassing that if it was known by the public, the Penham Family would be


    embarrassed. Thus, they would do their best to keep it within themselves.

    If they got the police involved, the scandal would start spreading, and everyone would eventually find


    out about it. On top of that, Penny was his nephew''s mother, and it would make them look bad if their


    mother was jailed. Thus, the Penham Family would never get the police involved to safeguard their


    family''s reputation and to avoid his nephews from being judged.


    Since Leigh agreed to be there, it meant that matters could be discussed. If it was a condition that they


    couldn''t fulfill, they could get her toe up with another condition. Madeline then got Leigh to sit on a


    couch.


    "Dr. Shefford, no matter what has happened, Penny is my nephews'' mother. It was indeed wrong of her


    to abandon my niece, but since this concerns my family and nephews'' reputation, we will not get the


    police involved. However, rest assured that my brother has decided to divorce her, and she will get the


    punishment she deserves."


    "Yes, what you said about this being the Penham Family''s matter makes sense." Leigh smirked. "Mr.


    Penham, aren''t you curious about my presence at your house and why I''m meddling in your family''s


    business, though?"


    Hearing that, Brandon took a guess and replied, "Is it because Ava humiliated your nephews? If it''s


    because of that, you don''t have to worry as we will kick her out of the family and cut ties with her since


    she isn''t of the Penham Family''s lineage. We will not be giving her any money, so it doesn''t matter to


    us if she ends up dead or alive. Please be rest assured."


    "Is that so?" Leigh nced over at Bryson, Austin, and Justin. "What are your thoughts? Are you


    nning to kick Ava out and sever ties with her?"


    The three of them were lost for words and didn''t know what to answer. Even though they were aware


    that Ava was Walter''s daughter, they had lived together for the past twenty years as a family. It wouldn''t


    be easy to disassociate with someone whom you had grown up with for two decades, after all.


    What happened back then was all meticulously nned by Walter and Penny. Ava was merely a baby


    who didn''t know about anything at that time. After finding out about the truth, they wouldn''t be as nice


    to Ava as before. It was not that they didn''t want to target their anger at Ava; it was just that the family


    ties that they had built for the past twenty years couldn''t be severed that easily.


    "See, they can''t do it." Leigh smiled.


    "We will split our family with them!" Jennifer sputtered. "We will put up a notice in the newspaper to


    announce that our family will be splitting from Bryson''s family, and both families will not have any form


    of contact in the future! Dr. Shefford, please, you have to save our daughter. I''m begging you!"


    "Dr. Shefford, please save our sister!" Lewis said as tears welled up in his eyes. "Ava likes to bully my


    sister, and we hate her to the core!"


    "If that''s the case—" Leigh smirked and looked at Brandon. "If you can write me a handwritten letter of


    guarantee about what your wife had just said, I will promise to save your daughter."


    "Brandon!" Jennifer grabbed onto his sleeve anxiously.


    When Brandon saw how desperate his wife was, he didn''t hesitate for long and nodded. "Alright, I''ll


    write the letter!"


    "Brandon! Do not write it!" Eddie roared angrily.


    If Brandon wrote the letter and cut ties with Bryson''s family, it would mean that the Penham Family


    would fall apart and be ridiculed by others if they found out about it.


    "Dad, I''m sorry. As a father, I will do whatever I can to save my daughter. I cannot just sit back and


    watch Luna die!" Brandon looked at Eddie and said.


    "Nheless, you shouldn''t cut ties with your brother! Do you think that he''s not unfortunate enough?


    Are you trying to hit him when he''s down?" Eddie reprimanded Brandon before looking over at Bryson.


    "Aren''t you going to chase Ava out of your house? What are you waiting for? I know that you have


    raised her for the past twenty years, but she is the daughter of your wife''s lover. Don''t you feel


    humiliated by it at all?"


    Bryson, who was being berated by Eddie, was so embarrassed that he just wanted to crawl into a hole.


    What his father said was right; even though he had raised Eva for the past twenty years, she was still


    the daughter of Penny''s lover. He would be reminded of it every time he saw Ava. Even if he still cared


    for her, he would no longer be able to treat her like before.


    "Alright…" He nodded and said, "I will cut ties with Ava and chase her out of the house."


    "It''s toote for you to say that now!" Leigh scoffed. "Whether or not you want to cut ties with Ava is


    your business. If Brandon wants me to treat Luna, he will have to cut ties with you. Otherwise, it will be


    the end of our discussion!"


    "Why is that so?" Bryson was bewildered after hearing what she said.
