Chapter 374
At the Landor residence…
Penelope sank into depression for a while.
However, sheter learned that Isabe was hated and abandoned by her father but still had arge
sum of money on hand. Thus, she felt a little relieved.
After that, she did not inquire about Isabe and Leo anymore.
She thought that both Leo and Isabe were highly educated and would definitely live a better life than
most people as long as they could give up their dignity and work hard for a living.
As for herself, she felt a little upset. All the money she had saved had already been taken away by Leo.
She had to rely on the Landor family to support her now. There was nothing she could do to help Leo.
Perhaps she was a selfish person after all.
She felt sorry for Leo. However, after the near–death incident, it was impossible for her to be as
devoted to him as before.
From now on, he was on his own.
Seeing that Penelope had let it go, Charlie was relieved.
Thus, Leo had quietly disappeared from the Landor family, and no one mentioned him again.
A few dayster, Ben received the news that Leo and Isabe were sent to prison again for drugging
Mrs. Smith.
He frowned and hid the news directly.
Everything that had happened to Leo was his own fault, so there was no need to tell his family
members and make them worry about him.
Ben had more important things to do now.
He suspected that the person who supported and instigated Leo behind the Penny.

However, he couldn’t find out what her motives were, nor did he get definite evidence. For a while, he
couldn’t take action.
He didn’t reveal his suspicions to anyone and was just secretly investigating.
At the Landor residence…
When Theresa saw the online video posted by Leo, she ended her honeymoon in a hurry and rushed
back home.
As soon as she came back, she went to see Susan.

Chapter 374
Penny originally had a guilty conscience and did not dare to see Susan alone, so she came with
Theresa this time.
Theresa took Susan by the hand and said angrily. “Why are there so many people who can’t bear to
see others live better? They keep their eyes on other people’s bellies all day long as if they can get
some benefits.”
After Charlie stepped into the matter and protected Susan, most people expressed their envy for
Susan.
However, there were always some jealous people who said that Charlie was just putting on a show,
Ben didn’t care about it verbally, and Susan would be abandoned sooner orter.
There were actually quite a few people saying this.
I had said.
Theresa was about to explode with anger because of what these people had
But Susan, looking looked carefree and indifferent, smiled and said, “It’s okay. Just take it as a gossip.”
Theresa blinked and couldn’t help saying, “Susan, you’re different now.”
In the past, Susan was very stubborn and strong, but others could see at a nce that she had tried
her best.
Now, however, she wasn’t pretending to be strong.
She just smiled faintly, but one could see the firmness in her soul.
After experiencing so much, she had truly be a fearless person.
Since she could be so calm, how confident must she be?!
Seeing that, Theresa was relieved at once..
She had rushed over because she was worried that Susan would be unhappy and wanted tofort
her. But did Susan need herfort? Nope, she really didn’t.
Theresa smiled and didn’t say anything else about that awful thing. She changed the topic and started
gossiping with Susan about the entertainment industry.
of the
Stories of the entertainment industry were always very exciting.
As a celebrity, Theresa knew a lot of exclusive gossip. Susan listened on with great interest.
Penny sat nearby and listened to what Susan and Theresa talked about, but her mind was a little
confused.
Why didn’t Theresa mention that thing all of a sudden?
She wanted to find out something through the conversation between Theresa and Susan.
However, the pair was so engrossed in their gossip that they seemed to havepletely forgotten
about that thing.
Penny finally couldn’t stand it anymore. She seized an opportunity and couldn’t help saying, “Susan, if
no one helps Leo, he
won’t be able to reach Cornd. Do you have any clues about the person behind the scenes?”

Chapter 374
Susan was immersed in the gossip, so she was stunned when Penny said that.
Feeling shocked, Penny said in a hurry, “I… I’m just worried that the person behind the scenes will
continue to y tricks.”
– know what
Susan smiled and said softly, “I know what you mean, but I’m not sure about it. Ben has always been in
charge of that.”
Susan spoke in a steady voice, showing her absolute trust in Ben.
Penny wondered, ‘Ben is indeed investigating?!
This made her even more anxious.
Although she didn’t think she had left any clues, her opponent was Ben.
Only God knows how far Ben had gotten.
She couldn’t help asking. “Susan, after all, this has something to do with you. You can’t leave it all to
Ben. Why don’t you call him now and ask him how his investigation is going? Then, you will know very
well in your heart.”
For a moment, Susan was stunned. Then, she said, “There’s no need to ask. Ben hasn’t told me yet,
so I guess that he hasn’t found anything definitive yet. Otherwise, he’d naturally tell me.”
Susan was very calm; meanwhile, Penny was a little flustered.
The unknown is the most terrifying thing.
Penny thought in fear, What if Ben has found out something I’ve done wrong? Who knows what will
happen? What will my parents think of me? More importantly, what will Eason think of me? I’m
doomed!‘
But she pretended to be calm and said, “Aren’t you worried?”
“I don’t have to worry.” Susan smiled. “Ben’s working on it.”
The more indifferent Susan was, the more flustered Penny would be.
Penny had a feeling that Susan was so calm because Susan had discovered some clues.
Perhaps Susan hadn’t found out the truth yet, but if Ben kept looking into this matter, it was only a
matter of time she did. They would find out something.
Thinking of this, Penny felt very annoyed.
What she hated most was why Charlie didn’t y by the rules.
Her script was like this.
Charlie had a problem with Susan because she was infertile.
After Leo ‘arrived, Charlie couldn’t wait to support Leo.

Chapter 374
Ben and his grandfather had a deep affection for each other, so Ben had to be in a dilemma.
What about Susan? She must have been wronged, right?
She had to be having a hard time.
The entire Landor family would be thrown into chaos.
At that time, Susan would be busy enough with her own affairs, and Ben would be in a dilemma on
both sides. Who would
have time to investigate the mastermind behind it all? Thus, she could seize the opportunity to cup
everything behind
the scenes
However, Charlie didn’t fall for it at all, and his rtionship with Susan was still as harmonious as ever.
The first step had gone wrong, not to mention the rest.
Now, Leo was easily driven away.
There was no disturbance in the Landor family at all.
Ben did have time to find out who was behind it.
Unfortunately, there were still some things that Penny hadn’t erased.
Once Ben found a clue, she would be doomed.
She first med Charlie for being too nice to Susan, and then med Leo for being useless. However,
no matter how sheined, her situation did not change at all.
On the other hand, Susan and Theresa had already skipped over this topic and were back to gossiping
again.
Penny couldn’t sit still anymore.
“I have something to do. I have to go now,” she said reluctantly and then left in a hurry.
After seeing Penny off, Susan felt a little strange.
She asked, “Theresa, don’t you feel that Penny was acting a little strange today.”
Theresa was a little confused. “What’s wrong?”
Susan shook her head, replying, “Maybe I’m being too sensitive. Never mind. The male celebrity you
talked about, he really…”
As Susan spoke, she suddenly felt her stomach churn.
“Sorry,” she said before rushing into the bathroom..
Theresa was stunned for a moment and quickly chased after her.

She patted Susan on the back worriedly and asked, “Susan, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing,” Susan said with some difficulty. “My stomach has been feeling bad recently. Maybe I’ve been
affected by these bad things.”
Theresa swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
If it weren’t for Susan’s test results, she actually wanted to say that Susan was pregnant.
However, the results of the test report were obvious.
If she voiced her spection, her words would make Susan hopeful. If her spection was wrong, it
would disappoint Susan. Therefore, she might as well not say anything.
So she suppressed her spection and said in a gentle voice, “Drink some water. Then you will feel
better.”
“Okay.” Susan sat down and slowly drank some warm water. As expected, she did feel a little better.
She didn’t think too much about it. When the ufortable feeling passed, she asked for more details
of the gossip
excitedly.
Theresa continued to chat with her with a smile.
The two of them chatted happily.
When Penny got home, she was a little absent–minded.
It was difficult for people to do bad things. Once they did, they couldn’t help but be afraid and start to
be terribly
suspicious.
That was how Penny was now. She couldn’t stop thinking about it.
‘Did Ben notice something? Has Susan discovered something as well? Are they waiting to deal me a
fatal blow? What about my mom and brother? Do they know about it as well?
The more she thought about it, the more flustered she became. In the end, even her forehead was
covered with a fineyer
of sweat.
It just so happened that Judith returned home right then.
Seeing Penny like this, she couldn’t help walking over to her in confusion.
She touched her daughter’s forehead and asked, “Penny, what’s wrong with you? Do you have a
fever?”
The moment Judith pressed her hand on her forehead, Penny turned pale and her entire body
stiffened.
“Mom… Mom… Penny stammered, “I’m fine, just a little hot.”
“Hot?” Judith was confused.

No matter if it was spring, summer, autumn, or winter, the temperature in the Nichs household was
always kept
constant.
Because of Judith’s doubts, Penny was about to break down.
She was sure that Judith had to know something.
She thought that her mother was testing her now.
Because she was so nervous, Judith must have been suspicious of her.
Susan was the daughter that Judith had finally found.
What would Judith do to her after discovering what she had done?
With all these thoughts in mind, Penny couldn’t help trembling.
“What’s wrong?” Judith became more and more worried about her. “I’ll go to find you a doctor. The
private doctor of the Landor family seems to be here. I’ll go and get him.”
Judith turned around and was about to leave.
Doctor?
Penny looked even more panicked when she heard that.
She thought, ‘She really knows something! Otherwise, why would she suddenly go to find that private
doctor?
Penny found out from the private doctor of the Landor family that Susan had trouble getting pregnant.
This was already an obvious test!
Penny grabbed Judith’s hand and said, “Mom, I’m okay. I just went out for a while and got heatstroke.
I’ll go back to my room and lie down for a while.”
“Really?” Judith was a little worried about her,
“Yes,” Penny answered firmly.
Judith had no choice but to help Penny walk to her bedroom and apany her there for a long time.
When Penny pretended to be asleep, Judith left quietly.
As soon as she left, Penny opened her eyes.
She gritted her teeth, lost in thought.
‘Mom deliberately stayed by my side for so long.
“What was she thinking about during this period of time?

“Was she thinking about how to deal with me?
Penny was about to break down.
At that moment, the door of the bedroom was gently opened.
Penny Immediately closed her eyes.
She heard footsteps as someone walked in.
Then, she heard her mom’s voice.
“Be quiet. Your sister is asleep. She may have had a heatstroke.”
Hearing that, Penny stiffened
Eason… Is Eason back?” she thought.
Eason lowered his voice and said, “It’s not very hot today. How did she get heatstroke?”
“I don’t know. She just went to the Landor residence,” Judith said.
The two of them were just chatting casually, but Penny felt her heart beating wildly.
The Landor residence?
Now, it was impossible for her to lie to herself.
Judith must have known something, and so did her brother.
Otherwise, why would they suddenly mention the Landor residence?
Judith and Eason stood there for a while before leaving.
Penny opened her eyes. All she could feel was the panic in her heart.
She felt like a fish on the chopping block.
“What should I do now?” she wondered.
They didn’t take action now, probably because they didn’t find any definitive evidence.
However, they must have suspected her.
It was only a matter of time before Ben found out the truth.
That meant she was doomed.
She had to take action!

But what could she do now?
Run away?
However, she was a little unwilling to run away like that.

Not run?
Ben was famous for pampering his wife. What would he do to her if he found out the truth?
No one knew!
Penny thought about all this for a while. She was about to go crazy.
to go out.
She stayed in her bedroom all day and did not dare to go
She kept feeling that as soon as she went out, Judith and Eason would be looking at her with
scrutinizing eyes.
It waste at night when Penny’s cell phone suddenly rang.
The call was from an unknown number.
She declined the call irritably, but the person kept calling her.
Penny picked up the phone angrily and scolded the person as if she were venting her anger.
The person on the other end of the line had been listening to what Penny said calmly.
When Penny finished, a soft male voice came from the phone, saying, “Miss Nichs, you must’ve
been in a bad mood recently.”
Penny gritted her teeth and asked, “Who are you? What do you want?”
The man smiled. “Who I am doesn’t matter. The important thing is that Ben has already found out that
Leo was transferred to Cornd through Tonico.”
Penny was shocked to hear that.
