Chapter 115 Forced to Put on a Show
Her tone turned somewhat mncholy as Zoey spoke, and her gaze toward Niko became even more
affectionate.
"Niko looks like that little dog. So cute! Perry, where do you live? Can Ie over to y with it?"
After saying this, Zoey nced behind her. This road seemed to lead to a vi, one of the more
expensive vi areas in Chatville.
This ce was more than the prime real estate. When it was initiallyunched, most of the best vis
had already been reserved. Perry''sing from here indicated that she likely came from a well-off
family.
Penny could sense what Zoey was thinking and hurriedly exined.
"I just happened to pass by this area. This road is great for walking dogs, and the scenery is nice. But
my home isn''t here. I''ve recently finished renting, and I''m moving soon. I''ll let you know once I''ve
settled."
Zoey didn''t doubt her words and continued to caress Niko''s head, ying with it.
Penny looked at the canvas behind Zoey and noticed that she had onlypleted half of her painting.
It seemed like she had arrived not long ago.
"Aren''t you going to continue painting?"
Zoey reluctantly removed her hand from Niko''s head and picked up her paintbrush with irritation.
"I didn''t have timest night. I have to finish it now. Ugh, it''s due tomorrow."
"I''ll take Niko somewhere else for a walk. By the way, happy birthday. I''ll give you your giftter."

Since she was attending a birthday banquet, a gift was necessary.
Penny had prepared sketch pieces she had practiced before, highlighting key points.
Zoey didn''tck anything, and giving her jewelry or the like would seem tacky.
"Okay, thank you. If you''re still renting, don''t choose anything too expensive. I don''tck anything."
"Don''t worry; you''ll like it."
The two chatted for a bit longer, and Penny didn''t want to linger here any further, fearing she might run
into someone she knew.
She took Niko and headed back, but when they neared Hills Vi, she saw Ondo''s car slowly
passing. He was heading to Hills Vi, too.
Penny''s whole body stiffened and instinctively stopped, pulling Niko behind arge tree. She didn''t
want Ondo to see her.
Ondo now knew her identity; was heing to confront her?
Zane, who was driving, saw her but only nced at her in the rearview mirror. He noticed Ondo was
still in the middle of a meeting and wasn''t sure if he should say anything.
Ondo caught a glimpse of a shadow outside the window from the corner of his eye and thought he
might be mistaken.
He wanted to look, but the car had already driven some distance, and Penny''s figure disappeared in
the rearview mirror.
"Ondo, it''s Perry; it seems like she''s walking a dog."
It seemed he hadn''t been mistaken.
A trace of doubt flickered in Ondo''s eyes, but he didn''t dwell on it further.
When the car arrived at Hills Vi, he got out.
Anika, guarding the entrance, was startled to see him return.
"Mr. Fletcher."
Ondo rarely came back during the day. Why was he back so early today?
"Mm."
Ondo entered the living room and found the woman wasn''t there. He frowned.
Why was she often not at home?
Rex hadn''t mentioned having a fixed job; until now, she had only been doing part-time work.
After all, what the Fletcher family could provide her was enough to livefortably.
"Where is she?"
Anika''s tone was respectful, and she didn''t dare say that Penny had gone out to walk a dog. If Mr.
Fletcher found out there was a dog in Hills Vi, he might be furious.
"Ms. Stuart has something to do and is still outside. She should be back soon."
"Okay."
Ondo''s tone was cold. He sat down slowly, and it seemed like he would wait for Penny to return.
Rex had requested that he go with Penny tonight, so Penny had to ride in his car.
He was reluctant deep down, but out of consideration for Rex''s health, he had to put on a show with
this woman.
