Rebirth: We Split Ways.. novel Chapter 165

Ryan understood what his mother meant at a glance but could immediately feel Penelope’s aloofness towards him.

From this point, there was a long way to go!

"Right, Penny. I know that you are very interested in design. The professor of the design school of Seattle University, Charles James, was my classmate, and he is going to hold a design exhibition in Seattle in a couple of days. I have an invitation here, so you and Ryan can go to see it on my behalf."

The corners of Penelope's face revealed a slight dimple, showing great interest.

"Great! It would be nice to have such an opportunity to learn."

Aunt Linda's heart was happy, and her eyes looked at Ryan, who understood and realized that she was creating an opportunity for him and Penelope.

"Well, we'll go over together then."

Only then did Linda nod in satisfaction.

"Alright, I'm relieved that the two of you can go together, but child, I still need to remind you to take care of Penny."

"Godmother, don't worry. Ryan is such a big warm-hearted man. He will definitely take care of me."

Penelope helped out and Aunt Linda could not stop the smile on her face when she saw the two of them looking like they had a mutual understanding.

...

Charles James, who was a renowned professor of clothing design at Seattle University's School of Design, had been teaching for decades and had many students.

His works had taken many domestic and international professional awards, and were very prestigious in the local area, so this design exhibition attracted many people inside and outside the industry to visit.

"Oh, this bitch!" The scene where she was shamed by Penelope last time was still fresh in her mind. Melissa gritted her teeth, but she could not do anything about her.

"Mom, why is she here?" Danna said with some uneasiness.

"She must be here to visit the painting exhibition, and it has nothing to do with us. Don't mind her,” Melissa said resentfully, not taking Penelope seriously.

Danna was a bit flustered. "Mom, she won't be here to make trouble, right? She knows that I'm going to take Professor James's graduate school exams, and she must be here to purposely sabotage my future. What should I do?"

Melissa was a bit surprised. She immediately pulled Danna closer and patted the back of her hand, soothing her. "Don't worry. What does she know about design? Your skill is the reason why we're here. Professor James can't possibly ignore your talent and not see its worth. He can't let her disqualify you with just a few words."

"But..." Danna looked like she wanted to say something.

That uneasiness in the bottom of her heart was even stronger.
