Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 172

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 two communicated constantly.

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

[Colin] Is that you?

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

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

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 Orlando and Penny were both late. 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 the company, and he didn't want to fully entrust his company 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 relationship between Penny and Orlando. Although he invited Orlando 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-in-law got along.

Last time, Orlando'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 Orlando. Moreover, he didn't have Orlando'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 but complain, "Looks like the two won't come. Hubby, let's eat first. We can't starve the kids. Lana's body can't take this, and Talon has worked in the company 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.
