236 That idea is not bad
Twelve years was indeed a long time for anyone. Oh, how time passed, indeed. Time was
clicking without condition and one could ride along with it, or stay frozen in the same
spot.
Penny could say she hade a long way.
Two weeks after she left the Be Household, she started working in Professor Singh’s team while studying. Meeting Wild and helping him get out of his deadly situation was a coincidence. She helped him out of the goodness of her heart and because… she was dragged into it against
her will.
Wild’s story was simple.
Wild was a previous member of arge criminal organized group. His position was only a level lower than the boss, and he had his unit under him. During an internal strife, Wild started a revolt to overthrow his boss. But s, what Wild got was bigger than he ever expected.
With his morals <b>and </b>integritypromised, Wild decided to cooperate with the authority.
It was the reason Wild was in District 10th that time Grace was trying to report her abusive father – because he was undercover. It was also the reason he was in the country where he met Penny. But in that country, his enemies found him.
When everything was settled, Wild started calling Penny his little benefactor. Wild’s cooperation with the authorities granted him time out of prison. However, his men had to serve. With good behavior, they were able to get out earlier.
That was how Penny’s security firm was founded.
Since all of Wild’s men couldn’t find a decent job and they were all hot–blooded individuals, Penny thought of giving them a job. Although there were some downsides to this, it opened Penny thought of giving t more <b>doors </b>of opportunities for Penny to meet influential individuals.
Moreover, Wild and his men were the reason Haines and Penny were still alive.
As of present, Prime Group is one of the leading security agencies that offers a variety of security services such as bodyguards, estate security, executive protection, and risk management. Herpany also stretched to subsidiaries for home security services, cybersecurity, surveince, biometrics<b>, </b>and many more.
Apart from this, Penny had some side gigs she started when she was young
“Excited now? Haines’s voice
snapped Penny back to the currentpse, making her look in his direction. “You’ve been looking out the window. We just boarded.”
Penny chuckled. “Uncle Haines, are you really going to tease me throughout this trip?”
“I can’t help it.” Hainesughed. “You look like a child just now.”
“That is because I’m thinking of the past twelve years, she pouted. “I am wondering how it is in there?”

Haines pondered. “I can’t say it will be the same… but from experience, it’s the same. The only thing that changes is your brothers‘ height.”
“Hehe.” Penny giggled.
“I’m pretty sure they’d be waiting for you tomorrow once wended.”
Penny smacked her lips. “I don’t know about that. It’s been five years since thest I saw them.
“Do you think they won’t recognize you?” he asked.
Looking at Penny, she had be a stunning and sessful youngdy. Although she was plump until five years ago, her constant running here and there and training helped a lot to slim down. Not that Penny ever meant or wanted to be as slim as she was right now.
“Uncle, my brothers aren’t blind not to recognize me just because I’ve slimmed down a bit,” Penny muttered as she leaned backfortably in her seat. “Moreover, I met Brother Hugo when I came to his base because of the general.
Haines rocked his head. “Right.”
Penny smiled as she stared at Haines. Her uncle had been with her throughout these twelve
years.
“Uncle,” she called, making his brows rise. “Did you tell Dad?”
Haines pressed his lips. “Yes.”
“When?”
“Some time ago, Haines sighed. “He was livid.”
“He he… I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright. He’s old, just like me now, so he wouldn’t be that angry without fear of his blood. pressure,” he reassured with a joke. “Even if I told him about the incident, that would only make things more problematic. You know your father.
Penny pressed her lips and nodded, setting her eyes on the window beside her.
The incident that happened to them many years ago that almost killed Haines and Penny was never disclosed to Charles or any of the Be Family. Though Wild had sent some people to make sure of the Be Family’s security <b>as </b>a result of keeping them in the dark.
“I bet he was very heartbroken, Penny murmured. “But it’s best to keep him in the dark at that
time.”
Because if Charles knew that Haines found a breakthrough about the baby swapping, and that put Haines in a deadly situation, he would take action. And if he did, Penny would be forced to
home. If that happened, Penny would live differently and they might never get to the bottom
of <b>this</b>.

“I’ll apologize to him once I get home,” she expressed as she cast Haines another look.
Haines nodded. “I think he deserved <b>that</b>. But for now, take a rest”

*Penny. After minutes of silence, Haines called once more. “Have you heard about the
engagement?”
“Nina’s engagement?”
“No.” Haines wiggled his brows at her. “The elders‘ arrangement, my dearest niece.”
Penny’s face turned sour as she grumpily looked at the window. “Ugh,” she grunted, making Hainesugh. Hearing hisughter, she couldn’t help but re at him. “Uncle, why are they forcing me to marry when you aren’t even married yet?!”
“Penny, I’m sure your father and your brothers are already against it.”
“They should.” She folded her arms under her chest and clicked her tongue. “Those elders in the Be Family weren’t in my life even when I was in the household. But now, they’re deciding who I am going to marry just because the elder I’ve never met in my life made a promise.” Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
Hainesughed, now used to this side of her. Twelve years was a long time to see all of her sides. “Just tell them you and your boyfriend are engaged.”
Penny looked back at Haines and blinked. “Uncle, that idea… is not bad.” She grinned and for some reason, Haines felt like they weren’t on the same page.
