    Chapter 419 Is That Something a Mother Should Be Saying?


    Lara looked at Penny with a frown. “Why wouldn’t I have investigated them? Which one of them is


    unworthy of you?” Penny sneered as she picked up the photo of the man she felt was old enough to be


    her father. “This man… Is he a candidate to be my boyfriend too?” In the end, Lara seemed a little


    guilty. “I investigated them before gathering them into this envelope. This man might be a little older, but


    the Anderson Family is considerably influential. Besides, an older man will dote on you more. Look at


    your dad.”


    Penny’s expression darkened. “My dad is only older than you by five years. This man is older than me by


    at least fifteen years!” The scowl on Lara’s face grew fiercer and fiercer. “Then, why don’t you look at the


    others?!” In response, Penny picked up another photo. “This is the youngest son of the Landry Family,


    right? He can’t even bepared to Ben Roberts! At the very least, Ben goes home. This guy spends


    his days fooling around at nightclubs without even going home! Are you asking me to marry a guy like


    that?!” Lara suppressed her rage. “Aren’t all wealthy men like that? When ites down to it, it’s up to a


    woman and her means. If you can capture a man’s heart, even a yboy will stop his ways. If not for


    that, you won’t be able to stop him from fooling around even if you are given an honest and down-to-


    earth man!” The expression on Penny’s face became darker and angrier. “Is that something a mother


    should be saying?”


    “What’s wrong with saying that as a mother?!” “Am I your biological child?! These are the kind of men


    you dredge up for me?!”


    “That’s why I gave you a selection to choose from! It’s not like I’m asking you to marry them! Why do you


    have to give me that attitude?!” “There’s no need for me to choose! I don’t like any of them!” “Penny


    Nn!” Lara was so furious that she stood up and pointed at her. “You get less and less considerate as


    you grow older!”


    Edward hurriedly stopped her. “Calm down. Let’s talk this out. If the child doesn’t like any of them, we


    can just choose new ones.”


    “Don’t bother choosing new ones. I’ll find my own boyfriend. I don’t need your help.” Penny said as she


    stood up to leave.


    “Stop right there!” Lara yelled at the top of her voice. “Penny, you were born into a wealthy family. You


    should have known that marriages among the wealthy are all


    about choosing a partner of equal social status. You can find one yourself, but you have to choose one


    from among them. You are not allowed to consider other men.” It’s another one of her orders that I’m not


    allowed to defy. I’m sick of her giving orders here and there whenever she wants to. I’m already 23! What


    right does she have to decide how my life should pan out? Thus, she suppressed her fury and gritted her


    teeth as she said, “I said I don’t like any of them!”

    Lara said, “Marriages are all about business. Besides, nobody’s marriage is smooth-sailing. After a long


    while, all sorts of issues will pop up within the marriage. The good things you thought were amazing at


    the start might not be good after all. Conversely, a marriage you reject might turn out to be the most


    perfect match for you. At the very least, these men I’ve gathered for you areparable to you in terms


    of family background, education, and culture!”


    In response, Penny gave a self-deprecatingugh. “The most important thing is that it benefits your


    career development, right?” “That’s right. If you marry them, it will bring thepany to the next level.”


    “Despite how high-sounding your words were, they were ultimately still for your own selfish benefit. With


    how wealthy our family is, do I even need to marry anybody? I can support myself. Why do I need to live


    my life revolving around the feelings of a man and suffering because of him? But, my mom wants me to


    live like that. She ims that all men are unfaithful and constantly fool around at nightclubs. She doesn’t


    n to allow me to find a man who doesn’t fool around in the first ce. Instead, she wants me to learn


    how to capture the heart of a yboy. Is that what you should be saying as a mother?! All you know how


    to do is work! You will never be satisfied; it doesn’t matter how much money you earn, you will never be


    satisfied! If you cared for me, you wouldn’t try to force these men on me!”


    p. As soon as she finished her rant, the sound of a pnding across her left cheek sounded out


    clearly.


    “Hey!” Edward jumped in fright. Grabbing Lara, he eximed, “We can talk this out! Why did you have to


    be violent? How long has it been since she came home?!”
