Chapter 52 Who Hit You
A doctor was examining Penny's injuries. Penny coughed when she heard Nancy's words. When
Penny was going to speak, the doctor accidentally poked her on her injured cheek, and she let out a
hiss of pain.
Hearing this, Nancy became much angrier.
"Orlando, I want the little bastard brought home in ten minutes. I'm gonna teach him a lesson today!"
Orlando stood in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows.
Colin beat up Perry? How was that possible?
"Nancy, is there a misunderstanding?"
"Penny's face is swollen, and there's a distinct, crimson palm imprint on her cheek. How could there be
any misunderstanding? I'm so disappointed in Colin."
Colin, who was far away in the bar, sneezed at that moment over the deafening music. He felt a little
chilly on the back of his neck.
Orlando's eyes were indifferent. Was Penny slapped again?
Penny finally got a chance to speak. She rushed to open her mouth.
"Ms. Fletcher, it's not Colin. Colin is nice. He wouldn't hit me in the face."
Nancy's grip on her cell phone froze. Didn't Colin hit her?
"Are you afraid I'll chastise Colin so you're purposely absolving him of guilt?"
"It really wasn't him."
"Who hit you then?"
"My... My family."
A flicker of pity crossed Nancy's eyes. She was relieved to learn that it wasn't Colin.
"It's good it wasn't him, or I wouldn't have let him off. Here's my cell phone number. Put my number in.
Let me know if Colin doesn't treat you well."
Penny was a little hesitant because she and Colin were a fake couple. But she didn't have a chance to
turn Nancy down right now.
Nancy hadn't hung up at this point.
"Orlando, all right then. I'm hanging up."
Penny was afraid that Orlando would reveal her true relationship with Colin. If that happened, Penny
would be awkward confronting Nancy right now.
But thankfully, Orlando didn't say anything.
As soon as the wound on her face was taken care of, Penny quickly got up from her seat.
"Ms. Fletcher, I've got things to do at home. I'll be heading back now."
"Okay, if there's anything you can't work out at home, just give me a call or tell Colin. You're his
girlfriend, and of course, he will help you."
Penny forced a smile. The lie just felt like it was snowballing.
"Okay, thanks."
Penny got back in the car and sat in the driver's seat, debating whether or not to tell Colin and ask him
to sort it out as soon as possible.
She called Colin and found that there was no answer.
She had to go back to her apartment.
Penny's apartment was rarely visited, except by Sandra occasionally. It seemed quiet and empty.
Penny turned on the computer, edited several proposals she prepared long ago into a computerized
document, and then sent it to Orlando.
Orlando did not reply to the message, which she had expected.
The next morning, Penny glanced in the mirror to make sure the slap marks on her face had
disappeared before she drove to Chatville University's art school.
Chatville University's art school was the hallowed halls of fine arts in the country. Every year on this
day, an art exhibition was held at this university, and various people from the industry were invited,
including Chatville University's investors.
Penny parked her car and then stepped out of it. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Erin was wearing high heels and carrying a delicate handbag. A young man of about twenty-five
walked alongside her.
As Erin walked past Penny, she stopped abruptly and raised an eyebrow.
"It's you."
Penny frowned and did not remember who this lady was.
Erin sneered, glanced up and down at Penny who was wearing perfectly normal clothes, and took a
step back.
"What? Did you get nothing out of Orlando after sleeping with him?"
Erin thought to herself, "Penny took advantage of her position and climbed into bed with Orlando for
the money. Now that Penny is still so poor, it seems that she's not very good in bed and didn't make
Orlando happy."
Penny finally remembered this was the woman she had met in the hotel that day.
Penny curled up the corners of her mouth a little and smiled a faint smile at Erin. "Mr. Fletcher said it's
a bit troublesome to settle the bill with me every time I sleep with him, so he intends to clear it together
at the end of the year."
"You!"
Wasn't Penny implying that Orlando wanted to keep having sex with her?
Penny was shameless!
