Chapter 843: Renren really knows how to touch my heart.
According to Ashley, refusing the offers she received right after the accident had its downsides. Aside from the lack of support from the family, she wasn’t being treated well. The yearly invitations she received for the family gatherings were their way of "punishing" her.
"It was a light punishment, considering I refused their offers," Ashley had told Penny while recounting her story. "So, even though I don’t want to be in the same space as them, I felt it was better to assist Aunt Mildred’s cause."
Mildred was the only one in the family who had supported Ashley all these years. Although not all of it was financial help, Ashley felt grateful for Mildred. Fortunately, Ashley was receiving support from her husband’s insurance, which had been covering his medical care and medications. However, due to the high cost of her husband’s medical needs, Ashley had to cut down on other expenses.
This explained the lack of maids in the beautiful mansion Ashley was maintaining all by herself.
"Are you alright, Miss Penny?" Rowin, one of Penny’s bodyguards, glanced at the rearview mirror to check on her. "You’ve been quiet since leaving Mrs. Ashley’s home."
Penny let out a hum, her eyes fixed on the side window. "I just have a lot to think about, so be quiet. Otherwise, I’d wring Angel’s neck for sending you here to cover for my sick driver."
"Aight." Rowin zipped his mouth, shrugging at Mark, who was seated in the front passenger seat.
Mark glanced behind at Penny. "Miss Penny, do you want to stop by anywhere else?"
"No, keep going," Penny whispered. "I need to be at the office."
"Alright."
