Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 45 Such a Phony Woman

Penny didn't give a shit about his sarcasm. She looked up at him and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Mr. Cain, I've made it very clear. I've gotten married and you don't have to make things hard for me in all aspects just because I've rejected you." Her connotation was "Being a man, you're so mean".

She was very articulate and when others heard the words, some of them responded with ironic laughter.

Ryder's face immediately turned gloomy as he clenched his fists tightly.

"You mean I'm pursuing you?"

Penny raised her brows and pretended to be helpless.

Her silence spoke louder than words. She didn't need to respond to his question; she would just let those onlookers guess about it.

It was true that it was Ryder who took her here and that his attitude changed dramatically when he learned that Penny had gotten married. Was he trying to ruin her reputation since he couldn't make her his?

Although Penny was a rarely miserly woman, it was so mean for Ryder to target a woman in all aspects just because she had rejected him.

Ryder felt so embarrassed that even his fingertips were trembling. He had underestimated this bitch! She had actually made use of those onlookers!

People in his circle all liked having a good laugh at each other. And Ryder could clearly feel that others' gazes toward him were becoming more and more meaningful.

Then Lydia's disdainful chuckle broke the silence.

"Mr. Cain can get any beauties he wants. How will he take a fancy to a promiscuous woman like you? Don't think too highly of yourself!"

Lydia didn't believe Penny had rejected Ryder. She thought Penny said so to hype up herself. Who did she think she was?

Penny looked at Lydia with a trace of confusion in her eyes and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Lydia's expression froze.

She didn't believe that Penny didn't know her. She must be pretending! Such a pony woman!

With Ryder making a fuss first, Penny took advantage of this and pretended to be innocent. From the beginning to the current moment, Lydia had been aggressive toward her, and every sentence she said was targeting her. However, Penny had never responded to her words.

Nonetheless, Lydia continued to speak rudely to her. Those who didn't know about the inside stories thought there must be some grudges between the two.

But it turned out that the two didn't know each other before.

The onlookers shifted their gazes onto Lydia again. Why was she so indignant when they didn't know each other?

Lydia sensed something wrong. These onlookers all had strong backgrounds and all of them wanted to cooperate with the Fletcher Group. After all, Orlando had just returned to the country and he would definitely start new projects later.

She didn't want to cause their attention as she didn't want to damage the Fletcher Group's reputation.

In the eyes of these men who were standing on the top of the pyramid of power, women were just accessories. Many men had taken a female companion with them tonight, and all of them stood by the companions obediently. No one dared to go "all-in" in this poker game as Penny did.

Yet Penny wasn't affected at all when being watched by everyone.

They had no idea if Penny had peeked at the other person's cards just now. However, who was this annoying woman who kept making a fuss?

This was a tattoo in gambling houses.

Lydia was put on thin ice now. Disregarding whatever, she raised her finger to point at Penny and snapped, "You don't know me? We met in the Fletcher Group last time. Aren't you my cou... Er... Mr. Fletcher's designer?"

Orlando slightly knitted his brows when he heard her words.

Lydia's words didn't expose Penny's lie to the public. Instead, from her words, they easily deduced that Penny was the designer who designed the house for Orlando.

That should be able to explain why she would ask Orlando to lend her money just now.

It turned out that she was not trying to accost him. They knew each other earlier!

This Lydia was really stupid. Wasn't she helping Penny instead?

Penny was amused. She curled up her lips and said, "Oh, it's you, Ms. Bender."
