Chapter 206 Looking for Trouble

Penny expressionlessly walked over, picked up the painting, and indifferently asked, "Is it from Mr. Bray?"

Gael's eyes flashed with pride. His company was stronger than the Stuart Group. So, he had never considered cooperating with them before they had completed their second financing round.

Gael did not know about the marriage between the Stuart family and the Fletcher family because only a few companies closely related to the Fletcher family knew about it. He was arrogant and had never contacted his so-called old friends before. The police were giving him a lot of pressure. So, he had pulled the strings to replace out Penny's father, intending to threaten him. Unexpectedly, her father was his old school friend. Now, the matter had become much easier to handle.

The Stuart family had made their fortune by selling paint. Cason had started as a street vendor. And Gael had a decoration company. The two companies could perfectly work together.

To show his sincerity, he had brought an ancient painting over and said he had a misunderstanding with Penny because of business.

Cason knew Penny was an interior designer, so he thought it was a minor misunderstanding and had happily accepted the ancient painting.

"Yes, I gave it to your father as a gift. It's the first time I have come to visit him, so I must show my sincerity. Penny, we have worked together for three years. I did make a mistake. Can you forgive me for the sake of my friendship with your father?"

Penny looked at the painting. She was not stupid, so she knew Gael wanted to use 6 million dollars to compensate her. She had long blocked his phone number and had not expected him to replace a sally port like this.

Before she could speak, Cason asked Helen to pour a cup of coffee for Gael and said, "Penny, Mr. Bray is right. You have worked together for three years and know each other well. If there is a misunderstanding, you should talk about it. Let's have coffee together and solve the problem once and for all."

Cason pulled Penny to sit down, but she refused and said, "Dad, do you know the so-called misunderstanding between us? Why are you so anxious to ask me to forgive him? Is it because the painting is worth 6 million dollars? Do you want to sell your daughter?"

Penny had suppressed her anger for a long time, so her words were a bit harsh now. But the marriage to the Fletcher family was indeed equal to selling his daughter.

Cason's face instantly became sullen. He had not met Gael for years, so he felt embarrassed after his daughter disobeyed him like this. Reputation was significant for businessmen. So, he instantly flew into a rage and raised his hand to slap her.

Penny grabbed his wrist to prevent him and said, "I always care about your feelings because you are in poor health. Gael took the initiative to violate the contract. After I found another partner, he became angry and sent several men to kidnap and rape me. I would have died if my friend hadn't saved me in time. How could you ask me to forgive him because of a 6-million-dollar painting?"

Penny's eyes turned red when she spoke. But she calmly looked at Cason and slowly put his hand down.

"The doctor said you could not get too excited. I thought you asked me back to meet my mother's friend. I did not expect to see Gael here. Please don't say he is my mother's old school friend. If she knew what happened to me, she would crawl out of her tomb to seek revenge. She would not care who Gael is because she would not allow anyone to hurt her child."

Penny took a deep breath, put down the ancient painting, and said, "I have nothing else to say. You have disappointed me too many times. I have work to do tomorrow, so I am going home."

When Penny was about to leave, Helen said while pouring coffee, "How could you speak to your dad with such an attitude? Mr. Bray came here, so he must not have harmed you. There is still room for negotiation, right?"

Penny sneered and strode out without saying a word.

Helen rolled her eyes and placed a cup of coffee in Cason's hand. But he sullenly pushed it away and said, "Do you think what Penny suffered is a small matter?"

He coldly picked up the painting and threw it at Gael's face. He would not have let Gael in his house if he had known such a thing had happened.

"Get lost!"

"Cason, you..."

"Get lost!"

Gael's face became gloomy. And he couldn't stay any longer.

As soon as he left, Cason sat down and trembled with anger.

Helen felt ill at ease. She had been too complacent just now. When she had seen Penny and Cason quarrel, she had subconsciously tried to add fuel to the fire. But she had forgotten he still cared about his daughter.

Now, her attempt to add fuel to the fire had become looking for trouble. Cason would feel he owed Penny a lot in the future.

It was not a good thing.
