    Chapter 161 The Toad Eating Swan Meat


    The phone was in Penny''s pocket, and she had no idea who was calling her tonight. Even if she had


    silenced it, the calls kepting one after another.


    It seemed that Penny hadn''t checked her horoscope before going out today.


    The phone kept ringing persistently, as if it would never stop if she didn''t answer.


    At this point, Penny felt trapped with no way out. She contemted how she would exin herself to


    Ondo once he saw her face clearly, hoping to prevent him from immediately cklisting her.


    On this stormy night, with thunder rumbling outside, the only sound indoors was the ringing phone.


    Penny lowered her head, intending to take out her phone.


    "Mr. Fletcher, actually, I..."


    Before she could finish her sentence, another thunderp sounded from outside the window, although


    there was no lightning, so the room remained pitch ck.


    Because of this sudden thunder, Ondo, for a moment, couldn''t quite catch the change in her tone of


    voice.


    Otherwise, he would have instantly recognized her as his designer.


    However, at this moment, all he could hear was the thunder and the ringing phone.


    Penny had given up and figured out how to apologize.


    But just as she took out her phone from her pocket, it suddenly wentpletely dark.


    It wasn''t Penny who had silenced it; the battery had died, and the phone shut down.


    She had been in a rush when she went out tonight and stayed at the hospital the whole night.


    Therefore, she hadn''t had a chance to charge her phone. With it continuously ringing just now, the


    battery finally drained.


    How fortunate.


    It was so coincidental that Penny wondered if she had saved the gxy in her previous life, which is


    why she still had a chance at this point.


    Ondo also noticed that her phone had shut down. They were now close to each other, and her scent


    was even more familiar, but he couldn''t recall where he had encountered it before.


    "Mr. Fletcher, I''m new here and identally broke a dish earlier. I''m a bit nervous."


    It turned out that she was squatting there sneakily, picking up the broken pieces of the bowl.


    She didn''t know where the fuse was because she was new.


    "Anika said we must be fully focused when facing you, and we''re all afraid of making mistakes."


    When she said these words, her voice was very low and filled with fear.


    Ondo frowned and released her wrist.


    He was not used to being too close to women; having their skin touching made him ufortable.


    Grabbing her wrist just now was an unconscious act.


    Now that he let go of her, he realized that he had been holding on for a minute.


    He rubbed his temple, wondering if Rex had been pressuring him too muchtely, causing him to be


    affected.


    "I understood."


    His tone remained calm as he walked out first. "It''s dark inside; be careful."


    Penny stood in ce, relieved when she heard his footsteps fade away.


    Once she confirmed that he had gone upstairs, she slowly made her way up.


    Back in her own bedroom, she plugged in her phone to charge and noticed that Cason had called. He


    asked her to take Ondo to the Stuart''s mansion tomorrow night, as the Stuart family had prepared


    dinner.


    This was something he had previously requested, but Penny found it annoying.


    Ondo despised her identity, so how could he willingly go there?


    Thinking back to the thrilling scene with Ondo just now, it was clear that she couldn''t stay at Hills


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Vi any longer.

    The next morning, she didn''t leave the house. Instead, she waited for Ondo to leave first.


    When Anika informed her that Ondo had left, Penny finally felt relieved.


    Being under the same roof as him made even taking deep breaths difficult.


    After breakfast, she went to the back room to check on Niko. He had been kept inside recently, and his


    barks weren''t as clear as before, which made Penny feel sorry for him.


    She needed to move out of Hills Vi quickly to make sure Niko wouldn''t be harmed.


    Thankfully, the new house she bought was big enough for both her and Niko without feeling too


    cramped.


    "Woof woof woof!" Niko excitedly circled her, leaving a trail with his wagging tail.


    Penny patted his head and took him for a walk around the Hills Vi neighborhood before heading to


    Valenworth Company to finalize some work-rted matters and sign some papers.


    Since they were going to start construction, she needed to personally inform Ondo, the homeowner.


    Penny made a trip to the Fletcher Group and encountered the annoying Lydia again.


    Lydia had just finished calling Angie, saying that she would help keep an eye on Ondo when she


    saw Pennying to thepany.


    It hadn''t been long since theyst met, but this woman was already irritating. Clearly, she was using


    work as an excuse to try to get close to Ondo.


    "Some people always dream of eating swan meat while being a frog," Lydia remarked disdainfully as


    she mmed the papers on the table.


    "They never consider their own value and resort to cheap tactics, thinking they can hook people in.


    They can use these tactics once or twice, but do they really think it''ll work?"


    Angie would being back soon, and Penny was just a clown jumping through hoops.


    However, Penny seemed unaware of her own status and needed a wake-up call.
