Chapter 698


    Penny couldn''t help but look down at the other man for a moment. However, she didn''t have much of a


    choice—her uncle was the only person who could help her right then. She couldn''t just watch her


    mother being sent to jail without doing anything about it!


    Ben was rather shocked to see Penny. She was soaking wet, her face was swollen, and her eyes


    looked like she had just been crying. Judging by the mess she was in, it was clear that she had just


    been bullied by someone. Penny wouldn’t show up at his house otherwise. She used to be the high


    and mighty youngdy who walked around with her nose high up in the air. She never once showed


    humility in front of others, and she never thought much of her cousin. The only person she ever bowed


    down to was Eugene.


    Ben scoffed. "What a rare sight! What brings you here, Penny?"


    "Hey, Ben," she said in a polite tone.

    He scoffed. It seems like she really needs help. She wouldn''t be so nice otherwise. "Yeah. What''s up?"


    he asked.


    Penny was too embarrassed to tell him that she had just been pped by Eugene, so she lowered her


    head without saying much. "Who hit you? Come on. I''ll take revenge on behalf of you," Ben offered.


    "Eugene!" she cried. For some reason, Ben was pleased to hear this, and he smiled. "Isn''t he your


    favorite brother? Why would he hit you?"


    She felt even sadder upon hearing Ben''s words. She stuck her lips out to form a pitiful pout as she


    thought, I no longer see him as my brother anymore. "He''s not my brother anymore!" she imed.


    With a single, rxed motion, Ben threw himself onto the couch. "That''s right. Both of you are Nns,


    but it''s just not possible for both of you to be associated. You guys aren''t biologically rted, so you


    were never fated to be a part of his family in the first ce. You might see him as your brother, but that


    doesn''t mean that he sees you as his sister!" Ben uttered.


    Tears nearly trickled down Penny''s eyes upon hearing the other man''s words. Evan shot Ben a re.


    "You should talk a little less," Evan mumbled. Then, Even spoke up in a sweet tone as he addressed


    his wife. "Why don''t you get her a change of clothes, Mandy? She''s going to catch a cold in this wet


    outfit," he said.


    "Come with me," Mandy said to Penny. "It''s fine, Aunt Mandy. Just let me be," Penny mumbled. Then,


    she turned to look at Evan. "Look, I''m here to ask you for something, Uncle Evan. My mother is going


    on trial in a few days, and I''d like your help to reduce the chances of my mother being sent to prison."


    Evan put on a troubled expression. "It''s not that I don''t want to help you, Penny, but Eugene''s the one


    on the other end of this case. Who would dare to mess with him? Furthermore, with all the evidence he


    has, how is your mother going to walk away as a free woman?"


    Sha falt avan saddar upon haaring Ban''s words. Sha stuck har lips out to form a pitiful pout as sha


    thought, I no longar saa him as my brothar anymora. "Ha''s not my brothar anymora!" sha imad.


    With a sin, rxad motion, Ban thraw himsalf onto tha couch. "That''s right. Both of you ara Nns,

    "You should talk a litss," Evan mumd. Than, Evan spoka up in a swaat tona as ha addrassad


    his wifa. "Why don''t you gat har a changa of clothas, Mandy? Sha''s going to catch a cold in this wat

    "Coma with ma," Mandy said to Panny. "It''s fina, Aunt Mandy. Justt ma ba," Panny mumd. Than,

    on trial in a faw days, and I''d lika your halp to raduca tha chancas of my mothar baing sant to prison."


    Evan put on a troud axprassion. "It''s not that I don''t want to halp you, Panny, but Eugana''s tha ona


    on tha othar and of this casa. Who would dara to mass with him? Furtharmora, with all tha avidanca ha


    has, how is your mothar going to walk away as a fraa woman?"


    Penny shook her head anxiously. "No. Ellen isn''t dead. She''s well and alive. My mother didn''t send


    anyone to kill her," Penny uttered.


    Evan was puzzled to hear this. "What did you say? Did you say that Ellen''s alive?"


    Penny nodded furiously. "Yeah. I saw her with my own eyes. Eugene spent the new year with her.


    Uncle Evan, you''re the only one who can help me right now. For the sake of the shares that my mother


    left for the Roberts Group, please help us out for once."


    Evan frowned. If Penny hadn''t mentioned the matter of Roberts Group, he would have genuinely


    considered helping her. However, upon hearing the mention of hispany, he lost his urge to help the


    woman. If Lara walks out without a sentence, then she will reim thepany, but if she stays in jail,


    I will be in charge of everything, and I will no longer need to live under her shadow. I won''t have to


    worry that the business proposals I work hard toe up with will be wasted just because she doesn''t


    like it. Furthermore, who would want to go against Eugene, anyway?


    However, he couldn''t just directly reject Penny''s plea. "How do you want me to help you?" he asked in


    an uninterested tone.
