Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 68 Is She Even Qualified

Chapter 68 Is She Even Qualified

Penny stood still, expressionless, as she listened to these words.

She had been trying to convince herself that Cason wasn't biased. Her father had been good enough to

her since her mother's death.

But compared to how well he treated Helen's children, it was less than a fraction.

Penny found it hilarious that she was working so hard to save for a down payment while Cason easily

handed Talon millions of dollars for a villa.

Cason and Helen soon noticed her.

Helen frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Cason looked over and felt an unexplainable sense of embarrassment when he saw the real estate

agent in the same uniform standing next to Penny.

"Penny, are you buying a house?"

Penny was already deeply disappointed, but she kept her cool on the outside. "Hmm, my flat was

broken into, so I came here to find a safer place."

Cason hesitated, feeling guilty as he thought about Penny living alone all these years.

"Well..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Helen pulled at his sleeve.

"Don't make your father feel sorry for you. I heard Rex offered you a bridal villa worth billions of dollars.

Just go there if you truly have nowhere to live. Also, it will strengthen your bond with Orlando. You two

are now husband and wife, and if you look after him, your father's business will run much more

smoothly."

"Helen."

Penny glanced at Helen with a faint look, reminding her, "Even if I were to act pitiful in front of my

father, it seems to have nothing to do with you, right? Can you prevent him from purchasing a house for

his own daughter if he can gift the son of someone else a villa worth millions of dollars? And my father

hasn't even declared he'll buy it for me. Why are you in such a hurry to say that?"

Helen blushed at Penny's words.

Cason believed it was awkward to anger either party. However, he also felt that Penny's words were a

little excessive. They were in front of two real estate brokers, and Helen was, after all, her elder.

"Helen is just impatient. Don't mind her. Which one do you like? Daddy will buy it for you."

Cason attempted to smooth over his guilt towards his daughter with money.

Penny tugged at her lips and lowered her gaze. "No need, father. You and Helen can continue. I'll

check out other places."

She didn't want to live in the same neighborhood as Talon.

Cason was rejected, and a helpless expression appeared on his face. Helen, by his side, furrowed her

eyebrows directly.

"What do you mean? It appears that you haven't always thought of us as a family. And if it weren't for

you, Lana wouldn't still be in the hospital right now."

"Helen, I believed that I was clear. Why make it so challenging when we are all adults? I left because I

didn't want to live with Talon in the same house. Since he will be residing here, I made the decision to

search elsewhere. I don't like Talon, but do I have to say it out loud? Is that what you're after?"

"You! You probably drove your mother to death! Today, I'm going to give you a lesson for your mother!"

Helen raised her hand to slap Penny. But Penny's gorgeous eyes shone coldly as she grabbed Helen's

hand and slapped her back.

This slap caught everyone off guard and shattered years of carefully disguised peace.

Helen was stunned, covering her face in disbelief.

"As I said before, if you lay a hand on me again, I won't be polite to you anymore."

As soon as the words fell, Cason angrily shouted, "Penny!!"

He was so angry that his hand trembled.

He was the father, and Penny couldn't possibly fight back. But, even though she had expected this

outcome from the time he raised his hand, her heart ached unbearably. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

But Cason never landed that slap. His hand lingered in the air for a long time. He looked at her with

disappointment written all over his face.

"You used to be so sensible; how did you become like this?"

He embraced Helen to comfort her. But when had Helen ever been treated like this, especially by that

woman's daughter?

Her chest trembling with pain, she screamed and tried to rush over.

"That's enough!"

Cason's tone was unusually stern. "Apologize to Helen. After all, she's your elder. Your behavior is

unacceptable."

Penny turned to the real estate agent and said, "Sorry, please take me somewhere else."

"Penny Stuart!"

This was the first time Cason had erupted like this. He even called her full name, and his lips were

slightly pale. When did his daughter stop listening to him?

"Father, my mother is already dead."

Penny stopped in her tracks, looking directly at her father.

"What gives Helen the right to repeatedly lay hands on me? You're concerned about Lana being alone

and in danger, but you're not concerned about what I've been through all these years. You keep

someone else's son by your side, yet you let your own daughter marry a stranger. Is it me or Helen who

is being unreasonable here?"

"What right does she have to teach me a lesson in place of my mother? Is she even qualified?"
