Chapter 8 Collusion

Near dusk, the Garcia's gradually quieted down as people left.

Having shed crocodile tears for a whole day, Penny wiped her face and ripped off the white flower on her chest as well as the black coat. Cautiously, she went out from the back door.

"What's mom doing?"

Reynolds was a loafer drown in extravagance and debauchery. At this moment, he was very surprised to see his mother steal away.

In comparison, Rosy was much smarter.

"What else can she do? She's paving for our future!"

Watching the closed back door, she yawned and strolled to her bedroom blithely.

But Reynolds still stood there in confusion.

Roy Garcia's black and white photo was hung in the mourning hall, lonely and neglected.

After walking out, Penny got into a parked car swiftly.

"Why did you come here on such an occasion? Do you want all the people to know our relationship?"

Impatient, she looked at the old man in the driver's seat and lit a cigarette.

With the cigarette between her slender fingers, she looked somewhat attractive.

Travis couldn't help grabbing her hand with a lustful smile.

"It's certainly because of something tricky. Do you know who came to the company today?"

Penny looked away from his coarse face. Disgusted as she felt, she didn't refuse him.

"It must be Rosalie. Seems this little bitch still entertains hope. How naive!"

She puffed out a cloud of smoke and replied impatiently.

"Yes, it was her, but Galaxy's people were also with her! Didn't you tell me there was no power behind this little bitch?"

Hearing that, Penny stopped flicking the ashes from her cigarette and stared at Travis in astonishment.

"How could that be? I've investigated her for years. Even if she has some friends who I don't know, they won't be those of Galaxy. The Garcias have no way to befriend them."

Travis got anxious.

"It's real! Ben Evans came to the company in person. His people said they were from Galaxy!"

He fumbled out a photo, a screenshot of the surveillance video.

After another puff of smoke, Penny stubbed out the cigarette and snatched the photo, examining it carefully.

"You know Ben Evans?"

Few people knew what Ben Evans was like. After all, most people, in their status, were not eligible to meet such a big shot.

Travis shook his head.

Penny really despised this wimp who was now showing a scared look.

Promptly, she took out her phone and typed Ben Evans's name in the search bar. Only a profile was shown.

After careful comparison, Penny clenched the photo with her crimson fingernails and slapped it on Travis's face.

"Stupid! They're two different persons! They just scared you with Galaxy, and you believed them so easily!"

When she scolded him, her heart also settled down.

She had endured so much "humiliation" to get where she was today. She wouldn't allow that little bitch to ruin her plan.

Travis also compared the two photos meticulously, and only after that did he clap his head.

He leered at her again, his hands slowly moving up her arms.

"I must be careful, right? We can't afford any mistake in our plan, can we?"

The hands on her waist made her frown involuntarily. If this man was of no use to her, she wouldn't have allowed him to touch her.

"If nothing else, don't come here from now on, particular this month. As is said, the widow is always in gossip. I don't want to lose what I can obtain. If our relationship is exposed, you'll also lose this company."

She looked closely at herself in the mirror. Despite some wrinkles, she maintained her charm.

"Now that I've come, what about..."

When he wanted to move closer, he was pushed away.

"Who knows if anyone is watching us or not? You'd better behave yourself. You have many chances after this period, right?"

She opened the door, and before she left, she ogled to co-opt this man.

"All right, I should go now."

Before he could reply, she drew a circle with her tender fingers on his chest. Then, without looking back, she walked into the house, leaving him alone in an obscene imagination.

"Disgusting!"

On entering the house, her face fell. She frowned at her hands and hurried into the bathroom.
