Chapter 54 I Shouldn't Be Scared

Penny walked to the Art Building where the painting exhibition was held. She was dressed neatly and

smartly, especially eye-catching in a crowd of businesspeople.

Penny looked around and immediately found her target in the crowd, Parker, the president of Parker

"Mr. Wyatt, sorry I'm late."

Penny gracefully walked over to Parker and shook his hand.

Parker was surrounded by several officers of the college. Parker would sponsor all the electronic

equipment for microcomputer classes at Chatville University this year and would donate one hundred

thousand air conditioners.

Wearing a suit, Parker didn't look like a shrewd businessman but was as open-minded as all his peers.

He didn't wear any men's accessories on his wrist. He had been working out for years, so he looked

perkier than average.

"Ms. Perry, you're here. I thought you forgot."

They had gotten acquainted with each other since Penny designed a house for Parker.

"Mr. Wyatt kindly invited me here. Of course, I came."

As Penny spoke, she looked at the middle-aged woman dressed sharply. "Ms. Bender, it's been a

while."

Fiona was thirty-five years old. She was dressed sharply and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. She

was a charming mature woman.

But when Penny called her Ms. Bender, Fiona was a bit sulky.

Parker bantered. "You should call her Director Bender. Fiona has been promoted to director this year."

Fiona looked at Penny's face, and there was a quick, solemn expression across her eyes. Then she

smiled and held out her hand.

"So it's Penny. I didn't realize you knew Mr. Wyatt."

Parker grinned. "My favorite house is the one Penny designed. I knew she was a graduate of the

School of Arts Chatville University, so I invited her to come to this year's exhibition."

"I see."

Fiona fell silent when she looked at Penny, who didn't wear makeup and was dressed head to toe in

cheapies.

Penny stood next to Parker and started a conversation about the house. When she saw that Parker

was more interested in one painting on the walls, she changed the subject and talked about the

exhibition of paintings.

Penny told Parker more about painting methodically, including the brushwork and colors.

Parker nodded from time to time with a smile on his face and complimented her. "You used to study

painting, so why did you switch to being a designer?"

When Parker said this, Fiona behind him froze, but Penny changed the topic calmly. "Mr. Wyatt, I think I

heard someone calling you."

Parker turned around and saw his business partner toast to him.

"Why don't you just stay right there for a moment? I'll go and say hello."

Penny nodded politely. Knowing that Parker wouldn't be back any time soon, she went into the

bathroom around the corner to fix her makeup.

Penny had just turned on the faucet when someone came in behind her.

Fiona was thirty-five years old but looked remarkably well-preserved. She glanced up and down at

Penny with contempt in her eyes.

"I can't believe you'd dare come back to school."

Penny took out her lipstick and put on some lipstick.

"Ms. Bender, don't be absurd. I shouldn't be the one feeling scared."

Fiona was vigilant, locked the door, and opened stalls one by one to make sure no one was inside

before sneering.

"You were suspected of copying someone else's work. Who would believe you? Penny, you tried to

seduce Rocco back then, and his wife came to school and threw paint all over you, which spread to

every corner of the campus. Do you think everyone's forgotten about this after all these years?

Besides, I am a director now..."

"Ms. Bender, you kind of sacrificed a lot to get promoted to the director. I wonder if your husband is

aware of your relationship with Rocco. I remember he's been transferred to Chatville University this

year, right?"

Fiona raised her hand and tried to slap Penny.

Penny, however, took hold of Fiona's wrist and slapped her back.

Fiona was dumbfounded by the slap and covered her face incredulously, staring at Penny.

"You skank, how dare you slap me? If I call the police, you'll be finished. You worked so hard for so

many years. When you were about to win an award back then, you were suspected of plagiarism and

almost didn't get your diploma. Don't you still know the price of offending me?"

Penny found it ridiculous and turned on the faucet. She blocked part of the outlet with her fingertips,

and the water squirted onto Fiona.

Fiona shrieked and dodged away in disgrace, but she was still quite wet.

"Ms. Bender, I don't think you understand what's going on here. I'm not a student at your school

anymore, so what are you threatening me with? A diploma? Or are you going to keep falsely accusing

me of plagiarism? Well, I've given up painting now. How else are you going to make me pay?"

Fiona was trembling all over. Her eyes sparkled with anger, and she sneered. "What about that video?"

"Rocco laid on top of you, but you didn't let him. If that video gets out, will you still be able to retain your

current position as a designer?"
