Rebirth: We Split Ways.. novel Chapter 28

Penelope clenched her fist tightly, desperately controlling herself from throwing a punch.

This person was the marriage partner he had mentioned—Andrew, the playboy from the Harris family.

Penelope wouldn't have reacted so strongly if it were a potential marriage arrangement.

The fundamental reason was that Andrew had been spreading rumors that she was an ugly duckling since age five. Not only that, he even declared that he would never marry her.

Andrew didn't like her, and she didn't like him either!

If it weren't for his father, Mr. Harris, who was her father's teacher, she would have taught this "poisonous-tongued" guy a good lesson!

Andrew, across from her, continued to talk incessantly, utterly oblivious to the changing expressions of the "interesting beauty" in front of him. He didn't even consider that the present Penelope was the same person from his memories. "May I have your contact information?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was hit in the face by a handkerchief thrown by the beautiful woman. While reaching out to catch it, he looked up to find that the "interesting beauty" had already walked far away.

Watching the fast-paced footsteps of the angry beauty, he was puzzled.

"What's going on with her?" Holding the handkerchief with her tears, he mumbled, "I don't think I offended her...?"

Andrew looked at her departing figure for a long time, then his peach blossom eyes squinted, and a smile reappeared on his lips. "She's spirited. I like that!"

Afterward, he casually entered the group chat.

Little Andrew, major news! Your Master Harris has found his destined woman!!!

Warren?

Dominic, a peerless beauty balancing beauty and wisdom?

Little Andrew, yes! Precisely that kind of woman! Elegant and cold, superbly charming! I've met her!

Little Sweetie, this time, it's true love! It's her!

Warren, tsk~ What kind of person are you? I don't believe you, my man!

Little Sweetie, don't say that. Maybe I, the prodigal son, will turn over a new leaf when I meet her and become a perfect man!

Dominic, the probability is very low, even lower than winning the lottery.

Little Andrew, I bet with you! I'll pursue her within a month! Then, I'll post a photo in the group for you all to envy.

...

At this moment, the butler, Butler Ben, knocked on the door and entered.

"Young Master, the President of the Archer Corporation in Seattle, Dominic, has come in person and wishes to visit you."

Penelope sneered inwardly. It seemed that Dominic was getting desperate.

"He couldn't get my cooperation through Andrew, so he thinks I'll meet him if he comes to my doorstep?" Vincent's face turned cold, a hint of anger in his tone. "Tell him I'm not available."

"But..."

"But what?"

"Mr. Harris accompanied him today and said he must see you and chat."

While Dominic's face wasn't worth giving face to, Mr. Harris was an elder, and Vincent couldn't ignore that.

Vincent's face turned cold; then he stood up. "Ask them to wait in the hall; I'll be there shortly."

Turning to Penelope, he said, "It's inappropriate for you to go out now. I'll handle this."

Penelope nodded, her expression darkening.
