Chapter 172 The Crack of a Whip


    Chapter 172 The Crack of a Whip


    [Abbey] Colin, you''re right! Perry is really talented. She''s excellent in not only interior but also


    portraiture!


    Colin had decided to settle down and was treating Abbey well. Therefore, the twomunicated


    constantly.


    He raised his eyebrows when he saw the photo and then sent it to Ondo without hesitation.


    [Colin] Is that you?


    It was already 10 p.m. now and Ondo had arrived at the Stuart''s mansion.


    The Stuarts even called Rex, so he had toe to this meal. However, it was up to him as to when he


    woulde.


    The Stuart family''s dining table was filled with delicious, fragrant, and appetizing cuisines and the


    whole house was enveloped in a pleasant fragrance. However, the people sitting at the table all had


    gloomy expressions.


    It was supposed to be dinner time, but Ondo and Penny were bothte. Moreover, Penny even


    refused to answer their calls.


    Cason was so furious that he almost fainted, but Helen continued to add fuel to the fire.


    "I told you earlier that your daughter was not on your side. Now that she''s grown wings, she won''t care


    about you anymore. You were only discharged from the hospital, but she''s beginning to infuriate you.


    She doesn''t care about you at all!"


    Cason''s fingertips began to tremble. The doctor had subtly reminded him that he shouldn''t leave the


    hospital considering his current situation.


    But Cason was really happy as the second round of financing had gone smoothly. Moreover, there


    were many affairs in thepany, and he didn''t want to fully entrust hispany to other people at


    this critical juncture.


    Cason was considering transferring his shares to Penny. In this way, even if he died one day, Penny


    wouldn''t have a hard time.


    Furthermore, he wasn''t clear about the rtionship between Penny and Ondo. Although he invited


    Ondo over to back up the Stuart family, as a father, he also had a selfish motive he wanted to know


    how his daughter and son-inw got along.


    Last time, Ondo''s assistant came to warn him, and considering Keely''s attitude, Cason was really


    worried.


    The Stuarts had been waiting for them from 6 p.m. and the dishes on the table had been heated over


    and over again. But no one dared to touch the dishes.


    Cason didn''t dare to call Ondo. Moreover, he didn''t have Ondo''s number.


    He dared to call Rex before because he was clear that Rex was very satisfied with Penny.


    Helen was so hungry that her stomach was growling.


    She couldn''t help butin, "Looks like the two won''te. Hubby, let''s eat first. We can''t starve


    the kids. Lana''s body can''t take this, and Talon has worked in thepany for a whole day."


    Cason softened inwardly when he heard the words.


    Talon had been working in the Stuart Group recently. He hadn''t made any major mistakes and had


    been learning earnestly.


    He heaved a sigh, thinking that the two probably wouldn''te.


    "Let''s eat."


    Just as he''d finished speaking, a servant ran over from the entrance.


    "Mr. Stuart, a Rolls-Royce stops outside. It seems like Mr. Fletcher has arrived."


    Cason''s eyes lit up and he stood up excitedly. Could it be that Ondo came with Penny?


    A glimmer of hope rose in his heart again.


    That must be true. Last time, Ondo gave Penny a Rolls-Royce umbre, which suggested that the


    two had gotten along well.


    He headed toward the entrance. But after taking several steps, he turned around to look at Helen.


    "Why are you still standing there? Go out with me to greet our guest."


    Helen stood up reluctantly. But the next moment, she noticed that her daughter looked very excited.


    Her hands on each side clenched into balls due to nervousness.


    It was the expression one would have when meeting the beloved.


    Helen slightly knitted her brows. But the next moment, she found Lana striding toward the entrance.


    Helen was not a fool. Her years of life would have been in vain if she couldn''t see through what was in


    her daughter''s mind now.


    Cason didn''t expect Lana to be the fastest to follow him, but he didn''t take it to heart. When Helen


    caught up with him, they walked toward the entrance together.


    Ondo was still sitting in the car and it was Zane getting out.


    Zane nodded at them expressionlessly.


    "Mr. Fletcher has just returned from a social engagement, so he won''t be joining you. Mr. Stuart, we


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    hope you enjoy the meal."


    What he said was very tactful. Ondo didn''t show up. He knew they were waiting for him, but he didn''t


    want to get out of the car to show them some respect. He just hoped for them to enjoy the meal.


    It was a subtle crack of a whip. In fact, he''d shown enough mercy to the Stuart family.


    If someone else tried to force him to do something through Rex, he would have taken action in


    business.


    Last time, he suspended the project. But the Stuarts didn''t learn a lesson from it. And this time, they


    went even further. Originally, he didn''t have to show any mercy to them. However, considering that Rex


    was in poor health, he just warned them in this way because Rex might kick up a fuss if he learned


    about this.


    Cason''s face didn''t look good. At this moment, he finally understood what Ondo meant he didn''t like


    Penny.


    If he liked Penny, he wouldn''t embarrass the Stuart family like this.
