Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 218 She Frowned In Pain, But Her Eyes Remained Calm

The room was quiet. After Orlando finished speaking, he heard Penny's sincere response, "Mr.

Fletcher, thank you."

At least, without knowing that she was the wife he despised, he gave her a high evaluation.

This marriage was unnecessary for both of them, and they both had their own helplessness. There was

no need to blame either of them.

The Stuart family had benefited from it, so what reason did she have to demand that Orlando respect

her as his wife?

She couldn't take advantage of all the benefits in the world.

Orlando didn't say anything and closed his eyes lightly.

Penny knew that he wanted to rest, so she kept quiet.

At six in the morning.

Orlando heard Zane's voice.

"Perry, here's your breakfast. Thank you for staying with Mr. Fletcher all night."

"No need to thank me. Since you're here, I'll leave."

"Okay, I'll personally thank you another day."

After the door to the hospital room closed softly, Orlando opened his eyes.

Zane saw that he had woken up and breathed a sigh of relief, quickly setting up a table.

"Mr. Fletcher, would you like to eat first?"

Orlando didn't have much of an appetite. He had been burning with fever all night, and his face was

now pale and sickly.

"Is the matter with the Stuart family resolved?"

"I've intercepted all of their business deals, and Cason should be panicking by now. I've also cut off his

communication with Rex, so Rex won't receive any calls from that number again."

One problem solved for good.

Even if something happened to the Stuart family, Cason wouldn't be able to contact Rex again.

And because of his health condition, Rex rarely left the Fletcher's mansion, so Cason couldn't meet him

in person.

This incident wouldn't bankrupt the Stuart family, but it would give Cason a headache for the next six

months.

Orlando got up to use the toiletries that Zane had brought and then he went back to the hotel.

He didn't want to go back to Hills Villa right now.

But Penny was on her way back to Hills Villa.

She had originally planned to go to Prodale County today, but after staying up all night with Orlando,

not daring to blink her eyes, she now felt dizzy and light-headed.

After sleeping soundly back at Hills Villa, she received a call from Helen.

It wasn't her father, but Helen, which meant that something had happened to Cason.

"The Stuart family's business suddenly came to a halt. All their business partners called your father,

and he fainted in a panic. He's now resting upstairs. It would be best if you came back to see him, so

no one can say that I didn't inform you. I suspect that Orlando had something to do with this. It's also

your fault for not taking care of him properly."

Taking care of him?

When Penny heard these words, she immediately hung up the phone.

But she couldn't ignore the situation with the Stuart family.

Cason only had a year left with his liver cancer, and now he was overwhelmed by the company's

problems. Perhaps this would further shorten his remaining time.

She went to the Stuart family but didn't see any doctors there. Helen only helped him upstairs to rest.

When Helen saw Penny arrive, she rolled her eyes.

Penny didn't give her a good look either. She went upstairs and saw Cason awake, but his eye sockets

were deeply sunken, and he kept coughing.

Last time, Penny had asked the hospital to conceal Cason's health condition, but Helen and a few

others should have known.

They knew that Cason had liver cancer, but they didn't have a doctor come to the Stuart family to

examine him.

Penny's brow furrowed and felt somewhat uneasy.

"Dad."

Cason's complexion was grim. The recent incident seemed to have hit him hard, and his face was filled

with gloom.

"Dad, sell the company's shares to someone else. You can retire behind the scenes now. The

temporary halt in business won't bankrupt the Stuart family, and the stock prices won't drop for the time

being. You can still sell them at a good price."

This wasn't the first time Penny had suggested that Cason step back and enjoy his remaining years

with the money.

But Cason had never been willing to let go of the company he had built with his own hands, only to see

it fall into someone else's hands in the end.

"Is that why you came back?" Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Cason frowned. He thought for a moment and sighed, "I tried calling Rex, but it couldn't get through.

Penny, maybe you can..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Penny stood up.

"I'm leaving for Prodale County soon."

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Helen's sharp voice echoed in.

"You really don't care about your father's life at all, Penny. Are you really his biological daughter? How

can you be so heartless? If it was Lana who married Orlando instead of you, we would have been

successful by now."

Penny sneered, "If Lana had that capability, she wouldn't have rushed to meet Orlando and been

rejected. But when it comes to chasing men, she does have quite the charm, just like you back in the

day."

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, Cason threw a pillow at Penny.

The pillow hit her face, causing her pain, but her eyes remained calm.
