Chapter 504
“Zebulon, stop acting so high and mighty! What money are you earning? The little you make can’t even cover your father’s medical bills. And you’re talking about making it up to her? How hypocritical can you be?” Rebecca ruthlessly tore Zebulon down.
Zebulon glared at her, furious. “At least I’m not as despicable and shameless as you p>
“Oh yeah? Then if you’ve got the guts, take your parents and your daughter and get out of this villa right now! I’d love to see if you end up on the street or sleeping under a bridge p>
“I… I may not have the means now, but I will definitely be able to move them out of here one day p>
“Zebulon, you spent a few years in prison, and your head is still in the clouds p>
“Rebecca p>
“Alright, both of you stop fighting! Don’t make a scene!” Mrs. Sullivan shouted at them.
She cleared her throat and walked over to Penelope. “Penelope, in any case, our family did you a favor in the past, so it’s only right that you give us a villa to repay our kindness. Besides, you got plenty of money and property from your divorce with Theodore, right? You’re certainly not short on houses, so don’t be bitter about it. Just transfer the deed to us without a fuss p>
Penelope hadn’t said a word, just listened to them talk. It had been a long time since she had felt her entire understanding of morality so thoroughly shattered. Only they could do it, repeatedly lowering the bar for human decency.
“Penelope, enough with the nonsense. Hurry up and contact your lawyer. Get the paperwork ready and give me this villa,” Rebecca said, finally remembering the important part.
Penelope raised an eyebrow. “Who said I was giving you this villa p>
Hearing this, Rebecca’s eyes widened.
“You asked me to meet you here today. Wasn’t it to give me the villa p>
Penelope found it amusing. “Did I ever say that p>
“Then… what do you mean p>
“I just wanted you to take a look at this villa p>
“And then p>
“And then tell you that you can forget about ever getting it p>
“You p>
“Of course, if you had the ability to buy a villa like this yourself, I’d be impressed But Rebecca, you don’t have that ability! People who take dirty shortcuts are destined for small things. They’ll never earn money that doesn’t match their small-mindedness p>
Rebecca gritted her teeth. “Penelope, you’re playing with me! Do you have any idea what I can do? I’ll have
Darren and
his men block your
company’s doors so none of your employees can get to work! I make
you redo the designs, hold you fully responsible for the delays and fil
make sure your design firm’s
reputation is ruined in this industry p>
Penelope shrugged. “Don’t just make empty threats. Let’s see you actually do it p>
Rebecca’s eyes narrowed. “You’re forcing my hand p>
“That’s right. I am p>
Rebecca shot Penelope a death glare, then took out her phone to call Darren.
Zebulon stepped forward to reason
with Penelope. “Penelope, she’s really capable of anything. Don’t go head to head with her. Just give her
the villa for now. Once this is all over, I’ll convince her to give it back to you p>
BUMS
Penelope laughed. “Zebulon, you’d be better off being like Rebecca. At least she’s shamelessly honest about her greed p>
Saying he’d convince Rebecca to return the villa later? Was that even possible?
Even a fool wouldn’t believe such a lie.
Zebulon frowned. “Do you really want to watch your company go bankrupt?” “The two of you don’t have what it takes p>
Rebecca got through to Darren. After he said something on the other end, she demanded angrily, “Darren, what did you say? You’ve already gone back home p>
