Chapter 78 Could You Please Give Me a Ride
Penny slept until noon. When she woke up, her head hurt so badly. When her phone vibrated wildly,
she quickly answered the phone.
It was her aunt, Haley, calling. Her tone was anxious.
"Penny, I called you a few times but couldn't get through. Is something wrong with you? Your uncle is
going to find you."
Penny glanced at the missed calls. There were five calls from her aunt. No wonder she was so worried.
"I'm fine. I slept too late last night. I was too tired to hear anything."
Haley breathed a sigh of relief. "Then do you want to visit your mother's grave today?"
"Yes. I've already gotten up. I'll be right there after buying some flowers."
"No need. Your uncle has bought some. He'll wait for you outside your place. Let him drive you to the
cemetery."
After hanging up the phone, she freshened herself up quickly and went out to meet Philip.
Philip handed her the flowers he bought. "Your aunt said you slept late last night. Take a rest in the co-
pilot when I drive."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
Penny sat in the co-pilot, smelling a very faint smell of gasoline. Philip had driven this car for many
years. Even if it was maintained on time, the smell of gasoline and leather still couldn't be eliminated.
The car arrived jerkily at the cemetery.
She got out of the car with the flowers and came to her mother's grave.
Penny came there every year. Sometimes, she had to come before or after her mother's death day
because of something. She knew her mother wouldn't blame her for it.
Thinking of what the Stuart family had done recently, she was in a bad mood and wanted to talk to her
mother alone.
However, her uncle was waiting for her not far away, so it wasn't convenient to speak her mind.
The tomb was cleaned simply, and she squatted down and put the flowers on it seriously.
Then Penny quietly rubbed her eyes and walked to Philip.
"Uncle, let's go."
Philip was smoking. Seeing her red eyes, he wanted to say something but bit it back. He only held the
cigarette in one hand and patted her shoulder with the other.
When they were about to get in the car, a motorcycle came. A man and a woman were sitting on the
motorcycle. After stopping in front of them, Susan got off, snatched the car key from Philip, and then
said angrily. "I told you not to drive the car during the three days. I'm going to go out with my friend
today. They are waiting for me. You can walk back."
The Glover family only had a car and had driven it for many years. It cost about fifty thousand dollars
and was a low-equipped BMW.
Susan needed this car to save face. She learned from Haley that the car was there.
After getting into the car, she closed the door with a "bang", stepped on the accelerator, and drove off.
Penny frowned. "Uncle, have you and Auntie put up with her rudeness?"
She knew that Susan was domineering in this family. But she didn't expect her to become so arrogant.
Philip didn't want their dirty linen washed in front of Penny. He was very embarrassed.
How would they go back? That was what mattered.
It was too far from home. It might take two hours on foot.
"I'm sorry. I... I'll ask my colleague to pick us up."
It was the first time Penny met such a selfish woman like Susan. But Philip and Haley were both so
tolerant, so she couldn't say anything as a junior.
It was nothing more than because of her cousin. Her uncle and aunt always felt that they owed Susan.
"Uncle, it's okay. I'm just worried about you. She hasn't had a job these years. You give her your salary Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
every month. She always wastes this money and yells at you at home. If my mother knew..."
When she said that, she was silent and stopped talking anymore. But she walked slowly along the way
she came.
Philip followed stiffly like a child being reproached.
A car horn sounded not far away, and then two cars stopped in front of them.
Simon opened the car window and saw Philip. "Didn't you drive when you came to the cemetery?"
Philip quickly explained, "The car was driven away. Simon, give us a ride."
Simon glanced at the back seat with some embarrassment. Two leaders were sitting there and both
were very easygoing. "Get in, but there can only be one in the car. Let your child get into the car
ahead."
There were only two people in that car, and no one else dared to be with them.
Penny now knew that the car was Orlando's.
Was Orlando the boss who wanted to develop the tourism industry in Prodale County?
She walked to the car window and politely knocked.
"Mr. Fletcher, I'm in trouble. Could you please give me a ride?"
