Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 25 It Has Nothing to Do with Me

Chapter 25 It Has Nothing to Do with Me

Kale thought, "Penny is the most mild, unambitious, and rational woman I've ever seen.

It's hard to imagine that someone like her might have experienced domestic violence."

It was not strange for Kale to think so. After all, Orlando had shown no mercy that night, and no normal

person could have imagined that sex could leave such a shocking mark.

As a result, Penny became even more awkward now.

"He is quite nice to me, and in terms of marriage, only the wearer knows where the shoes hurt."

Kale gave her a deep look and let out a sigh.

"Then give your friend a call, or I can't leave at ease."

Penny could only take out her phone and call her friend, Sandra Dudley.

Unlike her, who was a lady of the Stuart family only in name, Sandra was a truly wealthy lady and one

of her few friends.

When they were in college, they were assigned to the same dormitory with different majors.

Sandra had been very busy these days. When she arrived, it was already two hours later. She chatted

with Kale outside the ward for a while before Kale left at ease.

When Sandra pushed open the ward door and saw Penny's pale face, she couldn't help but feel angry.

"Why didn't you tell me about Orlando's return? That jerk has ignored you for three whole years. What

did he come back for?"

Sandra's name sounded gentle, but she had a very short temper.

"Probably to divorce me."

Penny raised her hand and rubbed the space between her eyebrows. "We both know well why we got

married back then. He has someone he likes, so he's naturally unhappy after being forced to break up."

"Someone he likes? Do you mean his childish relationship with Angie back then? They have broken up

for so many years, and I don't believe Orlando is so affectionate."

Penny coughed and took the glass of water which Sandra handed her.

"It has nothing to do with me whether he is affectionate or not, as long as he pays me the wages on

time."

Sandra thought it was funny and sat down beside her. "That's true. How could I forget that you're the

soberest type of person?"

As soon as she had finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Lana poked her head in, and when she saw Penny in bed, she looked worried.

"Penny, what's wrong with you? You look so pale."

She trotted over and said, "Dad said he saw someone very like you, so I wanted to come up and have

a look..."

Before she could finish speaking, Cason appeared at the door.

Cason came after Lana, who insisted on coming up for a look. He could not stop her.

His eyebrows furrowed as he saw Penny.

He thought, "I didn't expect the person I saw to really be Penny. At that time, I thought I had mistaken

someone else for her. After all, Penny has never had many male friends, so how could she be helped

to the hospital by a man?

And, the man was not Orlando yet."

Cason was anxious at the thought.

He couldn't help but say, "Penny, don't blame me for being too nagging. You're already married, so you

should keep a distance from your male colleagues to avoid being caught by the Fletcher family."

At the thought of the divorce agreement that Orlando's lawyer had sent to the Stuart's mansion, he felt

very restless. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Also, think more about what I told you. Although Rex is abroad, don't you call him every month? If

there is a problem with the second funding of the Stuart Group..."

He spoke so anxiously that he did not even notice how pale Penny's face was.

He had not even asked why Penny was in hospital.

Standing aside, Lana hurriedly interrupted him, "Dad, let's not talk about the company until Penny is

discharged from the hospital."

Cason finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly shut up.

Penny pursed her lips slightly. There was no superfluous emotion on her face, but her voice was very

chilled.

"Dad, when I was willing to marry Orlando three years ago, I made it very clear that I would only help

the Stuart family once."

Then she mocked herself in her heart, "Sacrificing my marriage in exchange for money is really

shameful, so it's understandable for the contempt of the Fletcher family."

Penny had meant to continue in a sharper tone, but when she caught a glimpse of Cason's gray hair at

the temples, she swallowed back her words bitterly.

Cason was slightly stunned, probably not expecting his obedient daughter to say so.

He muttered, "I'm just worried about you...Take care of yourself and tell me what you need. Do not

worry about money. You don't have to work so hard."

Penny also felt a bit sad.

She thought, "But if I don't make it clear, the Stuart family may never agree with me to divorce Orlando.

I don't want Dad to use my marriage as a life-saving straw. Since he is a businessman, he should use

commercial means to make the Stuart family independent, rather than relying solely on the relationship

with the Fletcher family for profit."

Seeing Cason turn and leave, Lana hurriedly got up and followed him.

"Penny, Dad didn't sleep all night last night and may not be in a good mood now. I will go and comfort

him. Don't take it to heart."

Penny let go of her fingertips which were clutching the quilt and felt exhausted.

Sandra, who had been watching on the side, couldn't help but satirize, "Apparently, Mr. Stuart wants to

sell his daughter, but he doesn't want to admit it."
