Rebirth: We Split Ways.. novel Chapter 16

"I'm actually the last one to know about your return. You're really not considerate, Penny! I've been thinking about you for so many years in vain!"

Hearing this voice, she knew it was her third brother, Jack Reed.

However, Jack wasn't her biological brother; he was abandoned at birth and picked up by the Reed family.

Penelope didn't lift her head from the documents. "Just sit for a while, don't disturb me."

It had been three days, and she still hadn't finished organizing all the files handed over by Vincent's secretary.

She received nearly a hundred calls from cooperation groups worldwide in a single day, and her head was about to explode.

Jack didn't mind her attitude and directly sat on the sofa. "Vincent is too harsh on you. Throwing so many files at you. He is grooming you to be the successor. It's exhausting, and you'll end up half-disabled. I say you might as well come with me on a tour and sing. It's a distraction for the heart."

"I'm not going."

Penelope continued sorting through things and said, "I haven't forgotten how your fans mistook me for your girlfriend at your concert last time. If Vincent hadn't come in time, the things they threw would have definitely hit my head.”

"...You still remember that incident!"

Jack laughed suddenly, wiped his lips, and looked at her with a smiling gaze. "You said you weren't interested in me, but you remember every detail of our time together so clearly!"

Penelope was speechless. She raised her eyes from the documents and gave him an eye roll. "You have an imagination problem. Get it treated."

Jack still had a smile on his face. "Only you can cure my illness."

"...Whatever."

Fortunately, she had long been accustomed to this kind of conversation with Jack and felt no discomfort.

Jack had loved singing since he was a child and was now a singer who had become famous overseas.

Despite being busy, he was willing to spend his time with her.

When she was determined to marry Dominic, he even canceled a concert that was about to happen and flew to Seattle to fight with Dominic. He was stopped by Vincent.

Now thinking back, she wasn't sure why she had rejected so many good men around her and fell in love at first sight with Dominic.

"The phone is ringing. I'll answer it first."

Her phone vibrated again, and she glanced at it. It was still that unfamiliar number.

Jack sensibly shut up and watched her walk to the French windows to answer the call.

The expression on that man's face at this moment must be extremely interesting.

Sure enough, inside Archer Corporation's president's office, Lance handed the disconnected phone to Dominic. "President Archer, this new executive assistant from Diamoson Corp., her voice sounds like Ms. Penelope? How...?"

Dominic, with a dark and uncertain expression, had heard Penelope's voice.

Just a moment ago, Lance had reported that there was no information about Penelope's so-called parents.

In other words, all the background information Penelope had registered was fabricated!

This woman had hidden a lie from the Archer family for three years!

"Mr. Archer, regarding this exhibition, should Archer Corporation still..."

Lance was unsure of the man's gloomy expression. Would they still attend?

"Continue calling her."

Dominic pursed his lips and uttered a few words.

Lance, "..."
