Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) -

Chapter 188 Misunderstood
Josh decided not to discuss the matter any further and instead focused on the job that was offered to him.
Five thousand dollars?
Just occasionally appearing?
He swallowed hard, secretly wishing to replace a wealthy lady, but his looks were not as good as Trevor's, making it unlikely for any rich lady to be interested in him.
How could a wealthy lady be attracted to him?
"Trevor, is this really such a good opportunity?"
Trevor sat down on the steps. He stretched out his long legs and leaned back, displaying a relaxed posture.
Indeed, Trevor's appearance was extraordinary, even Josh, as a man, couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. It's no wonder he managed to catch the attention of the heiress of a diamond company. Moreover, the Dudley family only had Sandra, the true only daughter. If Trevor could really marry into the family, then the Dudley family would be his in the future, wouldn't it?
"It's true, and you know how easy it is to deceive Sandra."
As Trevor spoke, his narrow eyes squinted.
"But her friend seems difficult to fool. It's better for you to just take the 5 thousand dollars honestly so that I won't be dragged down with you."
Josh also needed the money, so after much contemplation, he went inside to change his clothes.
Meanwhile, Sandra and Penny were waiting in the coffee shop.
In less than an hour, Trevor arrived with Josh.
Penny looked at Josh's unremarkable appearance, his plain look, and the fact that he wasn't part of the same social circle. It was perfect.
The plan was quickly finalized, and Penny didn't hesitate to transfer 5 thousand dollars to Josh's account. She also mentioned where she currently lived.
Upon hearing the words Rose Residence, Josh's heart skipped a beat.
That was where his company's boss lived, rumored to be worth about 10 million dollars. It seemed that the friends of wealthy second-generation individuals were also wealthy themselves. Josh felt a surge of excitement, but he remembered Trevor's instructions and didn't dare to act recklessly.
"Ms. Stuart, don't worry, I will play the role of your husband well. Just send me a message, and I will come immediately."
"Don't call me Ms. Stuart, just call me Perry."
Penny asked about Josh's company and was surprised to replace out that it was Valenworth Company, which happened to be currently collaborating with her.
However, Josh was only a low-level employee, and the people Penny interacted with were all at the leadership level.
After finalizing the arrangement, Penny breathed a sigh of relief.
As they parted ways, she hesitated whether to return to Rose Residence or go back to Hills Villa tonight.
On the Rose Residence side, there was Abbey and the woman entangled with Noah. On the Hills Villa side, there was Orlando, whose whereabouts were unpredictable. She rubbed her temples, feeling exhausted.
After much hesitation, Penny returned to Rose Residence.
Fortunately, she didn't run into Abbey, but when she opened her door, she found a sticky note on it.
It read, "You little bit*h, I already know you live here. If you don't tell me where Noah is, watch out for trouble."
It was the woman involved with Noah.
She looked like someone from the underworld, and she might actually resort to some dirty tricks.
But Penny couldn't worry about that for now. Tonight, she had to confirm the goods from all the suppliers. Once she sorted everything out, she had to go to Prodale County immediately. Little did she know, inside Orlando's office, Nancy was already sitting there.
"I heard you have some involvement with that designer?"
Nancy's words were tactful, but she was essentially asking if he had used his power to get what he wanted.
After all, Orlando still had a wife, even if he didn't care about her in name. But if Rex found out, the entire Fletcher family would be in trouble.
Orlando kept his eyes on the documents in front of him and didn't lift his head.
"Who said that?"
"Colin's new girlfriend. Previously, Colin brought Perry to me, but I didn't expect her to be married."
There was a hint of coldness in her words, reminding Orlando that even if there was any involvement, it should be cut off to avoid a big mess that would reflect poorly on everyone.
"Orlando, even if you don't care about your wife at home, she was chosen by your grandfather. You should know the consequences of messing around."
"Nancy, when I was drunk, I only slept with her one night."
Nancy caught onto the words drunk. Orlando, at such a young age, had become the president of the Fletcher Group. It was unlikely that he would get so drunk and lose control with someone else. Unless there was something in the drink.
She sneered, realizing that she had underestimated that woman.
Nancy got the name of Penny's workplace and, once she left the Fletcher Group, she made a call to intercept the cooperation on Penny's side.
With the jobs obtained through such means and the passionate relationship with Colin, Perry was indeed cunning, but it would end here.
