Chapter 58 I Didn't Have the Honor
Chace's face went pale. He turned around and found that Orlando was a few feet away from him,
poker-faced.
The moment Orlando arrived, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
Next to him stood Zoey, who winked at Penny.
Zoey was so anxious when she saw Penny being given a hard time. Luckily, Orlando was here today,
or Penny would have ended up in a very bad place.
Ruby was from the Foster family and was considered a popular figure in the school. Penny was just an
insignificant designer and was no match for Ruby, so Zoey called for help.
At this point, things just got a little awkward. Chace did not know how to explain the whole thing for a
moment, but Penny continued to pursue the question.
"Since everyone has to sign up, the school should treat all of us at the exhibition equally, right? This
can't be a rule for me alone. I don't have that honor."
Orlando's eyes fell on Chace. A cold sweat broke out on Chace's forehead. It was Chace's idea to keep
Penny in check, but Orlando just happened to show up.
If Chace didn't give a reasonable explanation, the school would disgrace itself in front of its biggest
investment.
Just as Chace didn't know how to say, Ruby stepped forward politely. She and Orlando seemed to
know each other.
"Orlando, it is not Mr. Hardy's fault. She's the one who stole my bracelet and didn't admit it. The
bracelet is worth 50 thousand dollars, and I want the police to deal with it."
"I told you that it was not me."
"No, it's you who stole it!"
Penny raised an eyebrow. "What proof do you have? Don't sling mud at me just because you're from
the Foster family."
"You!"
Ruby was speechless, and her face turned red when Penny contradicted her.
Damn it, the skank!
Clark, watching from the sidelines, was pleased with the way things turned out. Orlando was here, and
Clark couldn't afford to let Orlando take the credit. After all, he was trying to win Penny's heart.
Clark cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. "Ruby, did you misremember?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Ruby was furious and out of her mind when Clark was speaking for Penny.
"How could I possibly misremember? She just bumped into me, and my bracelet was gone! How can it
be such a coincidence? If she apologizes to me, I will let her off, and she can keep the fifty-thousand-
dollar bracelet for herself."
Clark tried to be the peacemaker and looked at Penny. "Perry, why don't you apologize?"
Penny took out her cell phone and dialed 911 in plain sight.
"Hello, I'm in the Art Building of Chatville University. There has been a theft here, and the amount
involved is 50 thousand dollars. The university refuses to provide surveillance, and I would like to ask
the police to come and assist in the investigation. Thank you."
With that, Penny put her cell phone into her pocket. "The police will be here soon. You will soon find out
whether I am a thief or not."
Ruby had a panicked look in her eyes. The fingertips dropping to her side suddenly tightened, and she
swallowed nervously.
Ruby didn't expect Penny to call the police in front of so many people. If Penny didn't steal the bracelet,
Ruby would be so embarrassed.
There were so many big shots, and there were Ruby's teachers and classmates. Ruby would be very
ashamed if it turned out that Ruby had wronged Penny.
Ruby's lips began to tremble with nervousness when Penny spoke to Chace.
"Mr. Hardy and Ms. Bender are going to kick me out because of Ruby's words before the truth comes
out and temporarily added a rule just for me. Isn't the way you've handled this disappointing the
investors?"
When Penny finished speaking, her gaze flicked around others around her before finally falling on
Orlando, and she smiled softly at him.
Orlando frowned as his eyes fell on Chace, who felt a lot of pressure.
Chace was shivering at Orlando's gaze and instructed the bouncers. "Go, go pull up the surveillance."
As soon as Chace finished speaking, Fiona shouted shrilly, "You're not going."
