Rebirth: We Split Ways.. novel Chapter 170

But obviously, Danna did not seem too appreciative.

"Danna, I'll give you one chance. Withdraw this piece of artwork from the design exhibition yourself, or else, I'll make sure you regret it."

Danna paid no attention.

Penelope did not have the original copy, and she was certain that Penelope could not produce any evidence either, so she dropped a word in a loud voice, saying.

"Whatever."

She then straightened her spine and walked away proudly.

Pushing open the glass door, she collided with Warren. "Warren! Why are you here?"

He did not answer her words, but instead looked toward Penelope not far away and asked seemingly offhandedly, "When did your relationship with Penelope become so good?"

Danna said disdainfully, "Warren, what are you talking about?! Who would have a good relationship with her? She is now the daughter of the Reed family, so she’s far from my reach apparently."

Her words were full of sarcasm.

"Oh⁠—"

Warren lengthened his trailing voice and did not say anything more.

Danna also did not pay any more attention to Warren, stepping on her high heels and walking away proudly.

Waiting until she's gone…

Only then did Warren look down at his cell phone, which showed a recording screen. The time stopped at five minutes.

His eyes sank and he pressed the stop button, saving the recording.

"Ms. Reed, long time no see."

Warren took the initiative to greet Penelope. Today, he did not have the contempt in the past, and his tone seemed a bit complimentary.

Penelope slightly raised her eyebrows and asked.

"What is your relationship with Professor James?"

Warren hooked his lips, and the corner of his mouth revealed a smirk. "We both have the same surname, so we must be closely related. What? Do you also want to take the graduate school entrance examination of my old man? With your qualifications, you are really underqualified."

Penelope would understand.

I did not realize that Professor James and Warren were actually father and son.

However, she was able to vaguely guess the reason. "I think you are apologizing not to me, but to my status, am I right?"

The idea pierced through him deeply.

Warren wanted to explain, but Penelope said straight away, "...No need to explain. I can understand. There's just one thing I have to tell you. Dominic and I, won't ever have a mutual friend."

The implication was…

They would never be friends.

Warren touched the cell phone in his pocket, originally intending to take the recording out but he put it back. "Well... Understood. If we can't be friends, let's be acquaintances!"

Penelope did not say anything else and took a step to leave.

When she was gone, Warren took out his cell phone and called Dominic over.

...

When Penelope returned to the design exhibition again, Ryan had already contacted the creative team with the intention of pulling out Danna's design.

"Penny, leave this matter to me."
