Chapter 65 Backstab Penny


    Chapter 65 Backstab Penny


    As Penny walked in, she heard a burst of barking and noticed a white figure approaching her from a


    distance and then frantically circling her.


    Penny dropped her head and ced her hand on its brow.


    "Niko, have you been a good boy while I was away?"


    Anika emerged from the kitchen, wearing an apron and seemed to be approximately fifty years old,


    "When you weren''t there, he was naughty. He even went to the fishpond yesterday and captured all the


    fish. Finally, I removed the thorns and fried the fish for him."


    Pennyughed and caressed Niko''s head harder.


    "Howe you''re so greedy?"


    Niko was a German Shepherd who was roughly six years old and had always been by Penny''s side.


    Penny couldn''t keep a dog in her t, and Rex urred to gift her this cottage. So she asked Anika to


    look after Niko for her.


    Penny dragged her bag into the hall after a while of ying with Niko.


    Anika''s eyes widened with amazement when she saw Penny in this state.


    "Ms. Stuart, have you finally decided to live here?"


    "My t was broken into by thieves, so I''ll be staying here for a few days."


    Anika was taken aback and concerned. "Did you call the police? It is unsafe for a girl to live outside.


    Why don''t you just stay here from now on, Ms. Stuart? Rex instructed me to look after you, but you''ve


    barelye here in thest three years. It''s difficult for me to exin to Rex."


    "I can only stay here until I find a new house."


    Penny curled her lips slightly as she yed with Niko with one hand.


    Nikoy on the ground, excitedly wagging its tail, his eyes sparkling brilliantly.


    On the other side, Ondo had just dropped off Penny when he received a call from Rex.


    "Ondo, my paperwork is nearly finished. I''ll be back soon."


    Ondo rubbed his temples. "I know, Grandpa. Look after yourself."


    "If you truly care about me, hurry up and have a big baby with Penny. Perhaps that will make me heal


    faster. What is the use of simply caring in words?"


    Ondo couldn''t help but think about Penny''s lovely handwriting on that agreement-Penny Stuart.


    It was imed that one''s handwriting mirrored their true character. The Stuarts were notoriously


    greedy, but her handwriting appeared clean and simple. It fell short of her family''s reputation.


    "I will do my best."


    He said this without flinching his gaze.


    Rex breathed a sigh of satisfaction, believing he was making an attempt.


    "All right, when Ie back, you and Penny must join me for meals on a regr basis."


    Ondo furrowed his brows. He tried to frame it more gently after a few periods of thought.


    "Grandpa, my schedule is incredibly packed. With my recent assumption of leadership at the Fletcher


    Group, I have numerous new ventures to embark upon and internal policies to overhaul. I''m afraid that


    I have only limited avability."


    "Then tell me honestly, how do you feel about Penny?"


    "Not bad."


    Ondo replied with minimal enthusiasm. Upon noticing the video invitation on hisputer, he found


    an excuse.


    "I''m about to participate in an online meeting. Grandpa, let''s chat more when youe back."


    After ending the call, he massaged his temples, feeling uneasy about not discussing it with Penny. He


    realized that it would be challenging to avoid making mistakes when actingter.


    As he pondered the covert operations of the Stuart family, a crease formed on his forehead. Ultimately,


    he refrained from making the call but agreed to attend the online meeting.


    If she proved incapable of managing such a trivial matter, there was no reason for the Fletcher Group


    to provide the Stuarts with further financial support.


    After all, the agreement said they would work together to act out the love story. If they screwed it up, it


    was her breach of contract; don''t me him for being callous.


    Near the end of the meeting, the car pulled over to the hotel where he was staying.


    Just as he stepped out of the car, he heard a woman in the hotel lobby say, "Mr. Fletcher."


    Ondo turned to face the source of the voice and discovered the woman was unfamiliar.


    Norah''s face lit up with delight. She had hoped that Penny would introduce her to Ondo, but she had


    not expected to run into him at the hotel.

    Her recent use of rtionships to seek information appeared to have paid off.


    Norah introduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Fletcher, I am a designer in the same studio as Perry. I also


    persisted on meeting you with Mr. Pratt. In the end, she received what she wanted, and it is an honor


    that you choose our studio."


    She seemed to be praising Penny, but she was actually hinting that Penny would go to any length to


    get close to Ondo.


    How could Ondo have been unaware that she was backstabbing Penny?


    He ignored her and was about to leave.


    When Norah saw this, she instantly stated, "I just met with Mrs. Moran. She is really gentle and asked


    me a few questions about Perry. Her statements imply that she believes Perry has hidden objectives. I


    was nning on calling Perry to remind her, but I didn''t expect to see you here."
