Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 170 Caught Spying

Chapter 170 Caught Spying

"Can you just stop meddling in my affairs? They're my parents, not yours. Besides, don't you have your

own mess to deal with at home? Leave me alone, I'm leaving," Noah said.

"You can leave, but I've already called the police. If you go, that woman will go to jail," Penny replied

firmly.

Noah froze in his tracks, his face contorted with emotion.

Determined, Penny continued, "I will have someone take you back and immediately inform Philip and

Haley to come pick you up."

"You!" Noah's voice softened as he spoke.

"Just stay out of my business. I'd rather starve out here than go back to that home."

Orlando's car window was open. He had been present during Penny and Noah's previous argument.

However, Noah's accent was too strong, and Orlando could only make out bits and pieces of the

conversation. Plus, he wasn't really interested in Noah's family affairs.

But Orlando didn't instruct the driver to move. After all, the driver was still recovering from the shock.

Aware that Orlando was still there, Penny didn't want to continue embarrassing herself in front of him.

Instead, she made a phone call.

Soon enough, a car arrived at the scene. Two burly bodyguards stepped out of the car and lifted Noah

off the ground as if he were a chicken, binding his hands and feet.

Noah never expected Penny to make such a move. He wanted to struggle but was frightened into

silence when he saw the bulging muscles of the bodyguards.

He was a typical coward without any backbone.

Penny made another call, this time to Philip and Haley, informing them that she had found Noah and

that someone would immediately bring him back.

Philip and Haley couldn't believe it. They realized how much they owed Penny. Haley even mentioned

the young civil servant from before.

"Penny, I've done some inquiries. That young man is quite handsome and has no vices. When will you

come and meet him?"

Penny raised her hand to massage her temples and accidentally made eye contact with Orlando.

His profile was sharp and refined, with a faint glow from the car's roof casting in his eyes. Perhaps it

was the pleasant night breeze that made Orlando comfortable. Penny could hear her aunt's

questioning voice in her ear, but her mind was elsewhere. Once again, she noticed how perfectly

chiseled Orlando's features were, as if designed by a meticulous sculptor. It was the ideal template for

any artist.

Penny declined her aunt's inquiry and pretended to still be on the phone, placing the phone in front of

her.

"Haley, I have to go now. Bye."

In truth, she had hung up a few seconds ago. She opened the camera app and quickly snapped a

picture of Orlando's current pose.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

In that instant when the flash went off and the distinct sound of the shutter clicked, Penny felt like the

whole world became silent.

In that silence, she wished she could open up a crack in the ground and disappear.

Orlando raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

He lightly tapped his fingertips on the window frame, a graceful fluidity in the tense wrist bones.

He didn't say anything, and a momentary pause of cool detachment was broken by a gentle smile in his

eyes.

Penny's cheeks burned, and she awkwardly changed the subject.

"Mr. Fletcher, I won't disturb you any longer. I'm really sorry about earlier. Let me treat you to dinner

another day."

After speaking, she practically fled into her own car, slammed on the accelerator, and wished she could

escape from this planet.

Why did she always encounter these incredibly embarrassing situations whenever she saw Orlando?

She drove to her newly purchased house in a neighborhood called Rose Residence. It gained a

reputation as a place where second-generation wealthy individuals kept their mistresses due to its

romantically inclined name.

As soon as Penny stepped out of the elevator, she heard the sound of kissing and entangled lips. Colin

and his new girlfriend were standing by the door, locked in a passionate embrace.

Penny suspected that she had forgotten to check her horoscope before leaving today. Returning back

into the elevator wouldn't be appropriate, but ignoring their presence while entering her own home was

equally awkward.

Luckily, Colin had thick skin and sensed someone's arrival, hastily releasing Abbey.

"Sweetheart, I should go now. See you tomorrow."

Abbey also looked reluctant to part, her face flushed as she bid farewell.

After Colin left, Abbey greeted Penny and rubbed her reddened cheeks.

"Penny, do you have some free time tonight? I'm feeling down, and I thought we could chat?"

Penny wasn't particularly skilled at socializing, especially with someone like Abbey, whom she didn't

know well.

Moreover, she had just experienced that awkward scene and now wanted to calm down and think

about how to face Orlando next time.

She was about to refuse when Abbey's following words left her speechless.

"Colin said you're his friend, talented and capable. He said I should learn from you."

With several compliments stacked together, Penny found herself unable to utter the words of refusal.
