SWNOVELS Chapter 235 Meeting Orlando Again
Chapter 235 Meeting Orlando Again
Philip and Haley both looked at Penny expectantly as if she could actually come up with some kind of solution.
Noah was hiding behind Penny. The situation was a bit comical.
The neighbors were pointing at them, making Philip blush with shame.
The neighbors had grumbled about Philip because of the house problem. Philip knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not dare to fight with them.
After all, the Glover family would continue living here until the government began the demolition work.
A few men saw how cowardly Noah was and couldn't help laughing at him.
"You coward! I didn't see how you dared to beat my leader's son up!"
Noah cringed and remained silent. Penny asked in a cold voice, "If you still don't tell them the reason, I'll leave as well. They are obviously here for you and may not hurt Philip and Haley. I've long hoped that you'd learn a lesson."
Noah gripped Penny's arm tightly and was too embarrassed and wimpy to step out of the house.
Penny took a deep breath, jerked her arm out of his hand, and turned around to leave.
"Penny!"
Noah immediately caught up with her. "I'm your cousin. Do you really want me to get beaten to death?"
"Noah, if you don't want to be battered to death, explain to them. They only want an explanation. If the police come and take you away, Philip can't get you out even if he sells the house."
Right after Penny finished her words, a few policemen not far away came over and handcuffed Noah without a word.
Noah's face turned pale and his legs went limp.
"Mom, Dad, help. I really don't want to go to jail. Penny, help me out. At least I'm your cousin."
Penny was shocked, too. She did not expect the police to arrive so quickly.
Haley cried and grabbed Penny's arm. "Penny, please. You know Mr. Fletcher, right? He should know Noah's leader. Would you please ask him to put in a word for Noah? If Noah goes to jail, his life will be over."
Penny was annoyed as hell, but looking at Haley's crying face, she responded.
"I'll try."
As the police officers marched Noah away, those thugs followed behind, obviously intending to beat Noah up somewhere.
Noah was screaming in fear, and Philip had to follow along, begging them not to beat him.
But when they got into the police car, there was nothing Philip could do about it. He could only stay where he was, his face quivering with anxiety.
Haley begged Penny over and over again and wiped tears from her eyes.
"Noah's finally home. If something happens to him, I don't want to live anymore."
Penny couldn't just sit back and do nothing. No matter how much she disliked Noah, she would never forget Philip and Haley's kindness.
"Haley, don't cry. I'll try. Noah hit his leader's son. His leader must have talked to the police. You can't solve this problem with money because Noah's leader does not lack money." Haley was well aware of this. She could do nothing but cry.
Penny would inevitably go to see Orlando again.
After all, Noah's leader would not do Penny the honor of letting Noah go, but Orlando was a different story.
But thinking about what had happened last night, Penny felt embarrassed.
After a few minutes of hesitation, she called Simon.
Simon was with several leaders at all times and knew Orlando's whereabouts.
Learning that Penny was looking for Orlando, Simon told her where he was.
It was an upscale restaurant that only entertained a few tables of customers a day. The restaurant was located in the chef's villa.
Penny rushed over, but after all, she barely knew those leaders. So she worked up the courage to call Orlando.
Grace sat beside Orlando. With those leaders around, she was very well-behaved and quiet.
When she heard Orlando's cell phone ring, she thought he was going to get up and answer it. But he just looked askance at his phone, hung up, and put it upside down on the table.
