Chapter 67 Chance Encounter
Penny lowered her eyes, not wanting to engage in unnecessary arguments.
During these days of fulfilling the contract with Orlando, she merely wanted to spend time pleasantly
with the Fletcher family and occasionally appear in front of Rex. She tried her hardest to avoid disputes
with the other members of the Fletcher family.
Moreover, Keely cared a lot about her son Orlando, and if Penny argued with her, Keely would become
even more obstinate towards her.
So even when Keely picked on her inside the house, Penny stood there with lowered brows and did not
argue back.
It was not until Keely reached the second floor and saw the bed in the master bedroom that her brow
furrowed deeply.
"If Orlando moves in, he will undoubtedly occupy the master bedroom. You'll be sleeping in the guest
room. Don't expect anything to happen between you two during this period. And don't forget that once
Rex's condition improves, you'll have to leave."
Keely furrowed her brow after condemning Penny who had been silently following her since the
beginning.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Penny nodded, "I understand, Mrs. Moran. Is there anything else I should be aware of?"
Keely felt a lump in her chest. Why did she often find herself dumbfounded in front of this woman?
The frustration of not having anywhere to vent caused her to lose the urge to nitpick. She only gave
Anika a few instructions before leaving, notably about Orlando's food, advising her to be cautious with
it.
Anika could only nod in agreement.
After Keely left, Anika looked at Penny with some hesitation.
"Ms. Stuart, are you really going to send Niko away?"
"Anika, isn't there a large empty room behind this villa? If Mr. Fletcher comes over, we can temporarily
put Niko in there. Niko is just too energetic, and taking him to my friend's house would only lead to
chaos." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Anika exhaled a sigh of relief. She also liked Niko a lot, and after taking care of him for so long, she
had established an emotional relationship with him.
"Alright, I'll put Niko's toys in that room for now."
Penny gave a nod. Keely's whining had already put her in a terrible mood. Besides, she had no
intention of sharing a house with Orlando. It seemed that she needed to find a new place to live as
quickly as possible.
She called Sandra and mentioned looking for a new flat, which naturally led to the incident in which her
current place was broken into.
Sandra was concerned about her living alone outside and considered for a time, "Why don't you come
live with me?"
Penny lifted an eyebrow, "Living with you? Will I have to watch you and Trevor have sex?"
"..."
Sandra was taken aback by her words, "Oh, if you come to live with me, I'll make sure he doesn't come
over. I'll just hand myself over on a silver platter to him."
She always spoke freely. Penny found it hilarious and stopped teasing her.
"No need, just keep an eye out for a house for me. If there's a suitable one, I'll move in immediately.
I've already put my current flat online."
Being broken in once indicated the flat was unsafe. Therefore, she needed to locate a more secure
house this time to avoid feeling concerned all the time.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you."
After hanging up the phone, Penny noticed Niko still hopping around at her feet, wagging his tail on the
ground and scratching her leg. He didn't even know that he was detested.
Sandra was quick to respond, and the next day she presented Penny with various housing alternatives
and arranged for a professional real estate agent to accompany her to the locations.
Penny made an appointment with the agent at 11 o'clock in the morning and played with Niko for a
while before leaving.
"Ms. Stuart, this location is relatively quiet, and it's a mix of townhouses and villas with a low floor area
ratio. The setting is fantastic and ideal for young individuals like you."
Penny looked at the developer and knew it wouldn't be cheap here. The estimate would be around 10
million dollars, or perhaps more for the townhouses and villas.
"There are now two townhouses offered here, one for 8.4 million dollars and the other for 9 million
dollars. They are oriented differently. Ms. Stuart, would you want to come with me and take a look?"
Just hearing the price made Penny cringe.
She asked Sandra to find a safer place, but she didn't expect her to jump straight to townhouses.
She paid roughly two million dollars for her small flat. The price here, including taxes, would be at least
five times more.
Throughout the years, she had never asked Cason for money. She had a respectable sum in her bank
account after working for several years, but buying a house for eight or nine million dollars all at once
was still a challenge.
However, if she sold her flat and utilized the proceeds as a down payment, she could immediately
afford several million dollars.
She noticed another agent leading a couple to view a villa just as she was thinking about the down
payment.
It was none other than Helen and Cason.
Penny had gone unnoticed at first, but she overheard Helen say, "Talon wants to live in a villa, and
there happens to be a villa priced at 30 million dollars. He likes it. Therefore, I brought you here to see
whether it's suitable."
Cason smiled, "If he likes it, let's buy it. What about Lana? Shouldn't she get her own place if her
brother gets one? She's grown up now, and I imagine she feels the same way most kids do, that living
with parents is inconvenient."
Helen scolded him with a glare, "I can't bear letting Lana live alone. It's not safe."
Cason nodded, "You're right. If a girl is left outside by herself, who knows what might happen? Lana's
health is also not good, so it would be best to keep her close."
