Chapter 122 Overnight, They Became Enemies


    Chapter 122 Overnight, They Became Enemies


    In the heat of the moment, Noah didn''t bother to control his tone, so his voice echoed throughout the


    corridor.


    If he had spoken in clear Mandarin, Ondo would have understood what they were arguing about and


    guessed Penny''s identity. After all, Noah had just called her by her full name.


    Unfortunately, Noah dropped out of school early on and spent a few years working on construction


    sites in several coastal counties. He befriended people from all over the country who hade from


    rural areas to work. In addition, he had always wanted to escape from the impoverished Prodale


    County, so he deliberately picked up their ents.


    It''s not difficult to understand the meaning behind someone''s local ent, but when multiple ents


    from different counties were mixed together, it became unclear and strange.

    So Ondo had no idea what they were arguing about. He could only vaguely hear what Penny was


    saying.


    As for Noah''s words, he didn''t understand a single word.


    He was fluent in several foreignnguages, but he couldn''t understand this particr foreignnguage


    spoken by Noah.


    Outside the corridor.


    Penny fell silent for a moment and almost burst outughing in anger.


    "If it weren''t for Philip and Haley, do you think I would willingly bother with you?"


    A twenty-eight-year-old man who still hadn''t found a proper job, ran away with hundreds of thousands


    of dors from clients, lost over a million dors in gambling, and made his parents pay off high-interest


    loans for him. What face did he have toin here?


    Penny grabbed his arm and pressed the answer button.


    "Philip."


    But it wasn''t Philip''s calling, it was her aunt, Haley.


    Haley''s voice was filled with exhaustion and hoarseness.


    "Penny, I didn''t want to make this call, but I have no other choice. We don''t have Mr. Fletcher''s contact


    information, and the police won''t release Susan. We can''t afford that much money. Plus, the demolition


    is happening soon. Philip and I borrowed some money from rtives and bought a few houses from


    our neighbors, hoping to pay back a portion. But now that the news of the demolition hase out,


    their children havee knocking on our door. Philip''s leg is broken, and he''s bleeding from his head.


    He''s still in the hospital, and I can''t afford the surgery. The money we had before is all with Susan, but


    now that she''s in the police station, and I can''t find her. I have no other options."


    Upon hearing these words, Penny''s heart clenched.


    She felt both angry and powerless.


    She had thought that they would let Susan stay in prison for a while. Once a month had passed, Penny


    would find a way to gather the money and bail her out.


    After all, Susan had a habit of speaking without a filter, and it was only a matter of time before she got


    into trouble. Keeping her in jail for a month would serve as a small lesson.


    But she never expected that Philip and Haley were not willing to let Susan suffer at all, and would


    resort to taking other people''s houses.


    They had lived in Harmony District for many years, and they were familiar with their neighbors. Despite


    knowing that the area was going to be demolished, they bought the houses in advance. Now that the


    news of the demolition hade out, it was only a matter of days before the houses would be sold.


    How could the neighbors be willing?


    Even close rtives needed to settle their ounts. Overnight, neighbors of several decades became


    enemies.


    How could they do such a thing?


    Penny felt a wave of powerlessness and could only try tofort her aunt.


    "Haley, don''t worry. I''ll send you the money right away. I met Noah in Chatville. You can use the money


    to pay for the medical expenses first, and we''lle back tonight."


    Noah, on the other hand, had a defiant look and threatened, "Penny, I''m not going back. If you want to


    go back, go by yourself. I never want to go back to that family again..."


    "Smack!"


    Before he could finish his sentence, Penny raised her hand and pped him hard.


    Noah''s cheek was hit heavily, and his mouth was filled with the taste of blood.


    He looked at Penny in disbelief and touched his cheek after a few seconds.


    "You hit me?"


    When Penny used to stay at his house, she was a well-behaved and calm girl. Who would have


    thought she would p him?


    Noah didn''t think about retaliating. After all, she was his cousin, and it would be frowned upon for a


    man to hit a woman.


    His eyes turned red, and he touched his cheek.


    Penny looked at him coldly. "Are you awake now? Susan is the one you want to marry. She


    intentionally damaged Mr. Fletcher''s car and she has topensate him with 1.5 million dors. Philip


    and Haley took a desperate gamble for this money, and now Philip is still in critical condition. Are you


    really not going back? Noah, if you don''t go back, I''ll have those thugse back and kill you right


    now."


    Noah''s body trembled slightly, and his lips were pursed in a disy of weakness.


    The conflict between the two of them did not escape Ondo''s notice.


    As he witnessed Penny deliver that resounding p, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
