"What are you talking about. I'm doing this for you. I'm worried that you don't do your job properly and ruin your career. Can the ordinary girl be as good as the woman who comes from the famous?"
Chris roughly knew the purpose of Charlie's coming to the company.
Besides Charlie, Chris saw a woman standing behind him.
"So what kind of woman do you think am I suitable for? Some women like your mistress?"
Chris didn't like others to be too lenient. But, like the kind of person who overstepped his duties, he wouldn't show his respect. The simplest way was to block each other's mouths directly.
"I am old enough now. It is normal to have fun and relax outside. You are different. When you are young, you should find a woman who is helpful to your business so that The Konev Family can flourish."
The Konev Family's second grandfather was too helpful. Penny originally just wanted to give it a try and talked to this old guy a few minutes. She didn't expect that Charlie was immediately attracted by her and came to find Chris.
"Charlie, do you think your share dividends are not enough? Or do you think that I must find a woman like Penny to carry forward The Konev Family?"
To be fair, Chris had given him enough. If someone else took power, they might not get that much money. It was precise because of this that they supported Chris more.
Charlie didn't dare to say anything else when he heard Chris said that. As for Penny, he could only say that he was sorry for this girl. Chris's willpower was too firm. Charlie couldn't make Penny get this man anymore.
"Forget it. I just wanted to advise you. Since you have thought about everything, just do whatever you want to do. Then, I won't interfere with you anymore."
After saying that, Charlie left quickly. He even forgot that Penny was still in Chris's office.
"Penny, I probably know your thoughts. But since I chose Lavinia as my girlfriend, I would never fall in love with other women. So don't waste your time on me. It's not worth it."
Penny clenched her lips. Those must be the last words that Penny wanna hear in this world. But Chris just said them, after all.
"Why? I'm better than Lavinia and more beautiful than her. But you still choose her. Why can't it be me? I just want to know the reason."
Penny sacrificed everything she had, just for Chris.
What did Lavinia do for Chris? Why could she be Chris's girlfriend? Why?
"Because she is Lavinia, the woman I took a fancy to. She is unique."
When Chris mentioned Lavinia, he smiled warmly.
When Penny fell in love with Chris, she had the same expression whenever Chris's name was mentioned.
Penny could ignore all the kindness that Chris gave to Lavinia. She could forget everything just to hope that one day Chris could be her man. Now, when she found Chris's different attitude to Lavinia and her, Penny suddenly realized how deeply he loved Lavinia.
Eyes and hearts couldn't deceive people. Chris didn't love Penny before and would never love her in the future.
Penny shook her head. When she got the answer she wanted, her mind and body suddenly relaxed.
The obsession that she couldn't get in those years was becoming less critical.
"In fact, I also know that I married my ex-husband was totally wrong. I shouldn't have tried to test you in this way in the first place. But we're still married. You didn't care who I would marry or live with and even didn't come to my wedding, but I was unwilling. Years of obsession made me choose to divorce my ex-husband and seek my true love. As a result, I still failed, just like a few years ago. But this time, I was glad that I got the answer, so I don't have to wait foolishly. "
Penny's tears fell down her cheeks, and the crystal tears washed away years of remorse. Chris was relieved to see that Penny had really let go.
The woman left with her last pride. Chris himself solved a hidden rival in love without Lavinia knowing it.
Penny booked the first flight back to the United States. She thought she needed a quiet environment more than anyone else to think about what she had done during this time.
It was also necessary to think about why her heart was empty when she divorced her ex-husband. But after Chris refused her, Penny was not angry at all and felt that this should be the ending she should have.
"Chris, your mother sent me a message saying that she wants to see me. What should I do? I am so nervous."
Penny's affair was over. When Chris was going home, a phone call from Lavinia disturbed his mind.
Vivian clearly promised Chris that she would wait until Chris told Lavinia. After that, Vivian could only see her daughter-in-law with Lavinia's permission.
Vivian had to see Lavinia now, and Lavinia didn't prepare anything at all. Wouldn't that give Lavinia a big shock?
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon, and let's talk about it."
Chris picked up his suit, greeted his assistant, and left the company early.
He thought that Vivian should give some time to buffer. As a result, when he got home, he found that Vivian also entered the villa in the north suburb with big bags.
"Chris, your father said that you are not young. He had already chosen a perfect day for you, which is suitable for marriage. I just come to ask your opinion. Also, we have never seen your mother-in-law before, so I came to ask your opinions."
Vivian was a famous businesswoman. She had experienced so many things, but she was still felt nervous when she thought that she had to visit Lavinia's mother.
Lavinia stood by and didn't know what to say. She kept nodding when Vivian talk. Lavinia didn't hear anything that they talked about.
"Mom, I told you that Lavinia is still young and has not graduated from college. Is it too early to mention getting married and meeting parents?"
Chris would like to have a clear identity with Lavinia as soon as possible. Of course, it was best to get married. But speaking about Lavinia, she didn't graduate from college yet. Her parents still didn't know if they could agree to get married, which startled Chris.
"Lavinia, you promised me just now. Let's do the wedding on a perfect day. We are still young, which can help you bring the babies. We don't even have the ability to bring children if we are getting old. At that time, we will be useless."
