Chapter 182 Their Broken Friendship

Penny instinctively withdrew her hand from Nancy's grip.

But Nancy held on, her gaze fixed on Abbey, a look of confusion etched on her face.

Abbey's face grew pale as she looked from Colin to Penny, her gaze finally settling on their intertwined

hands. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

She knew Ms. Fletcher.

Last night, Abbey had planned to visit Nancy with a thoughtful gift she had bought with her hard-earned

money. But Colin's unexpected call had sent her back home.

Abbey understood that her family couldn't compare to Colin's, but she genuinely cared for him, and he

had been good to her as well.

Yet, she couldn't make sense of the current situation.

Colin's mother, holding hands with both Colin and Penny?

Wasn't Penny already married?

Wasn't she involved with Mr. Fletcher?

And now, it seemed like she was still Colin's girlfriend!

The complexity of it all made Abbey feel disgusted, overwhelmed by a sense of unease.

Abbey had regarded Penny as her friend, but from the beginning to the end, Penny had treated her like

a fool!

Abbey couldn't fathom Penny's true intentions when she had comforted her.

Abbey was overwhelmed with humiliation, her eyes welling up with tears.

But she knew she had to expose Penny's true nature!

Determined, Abbey marched towards them, and slapped Colin across the face, her voice filled with

anguish. "You bastard!"

After venting her rage on Colin, Abbey turned her attention to Penny, raising her hand with the intention

to strike.

But Penny intercepted her, stopping her hand and letting go of Nancy.

Abbey sobbed uncontrollably, struggling to catch her breath.

Penny understood Abbey's turmoil, but she didn't offer her face for a slap.

Her gaze shifted to Colin, expecting him to clarify the situation to his girlfriend.

Finally composed, Nancy spoke softly, "Who is this?"

Nancy's calm voice seemed to give Abbey a sense of support.

She wiped her tears and said, "I am Colin's girlfriend, Abbey. Didn't you know Penny was already

married? How can she be Colin's girlfriend and have an affair with Mr. Fletcher at the same time?"

Abbey cried, tears streaming down her face.

She couldn't bring herself to meet Nancy's eyes and walked towards her own door, crying.

Finally, Colin reacted and caught up, grabbing Abbey's arm.

"Abbey, Penny and I don't have that kind of relationship."

Abbey sobbed, wanting to shake off his hand but feeling somewhat reluctant.

Nancy witnessed the absurd drama unfolding before her, her expression turning serious.

Her gentle gaze towards Penny became distant.

Penny noticed the change and sighed inwardly.

Nancy forced a smile and said, "Penny, let's all go inside and have a conversation."

No one dared to refuse her, and Penny stepped aside.

Nancy entered first, followed by Colin, who was comforting the still sobbing Abbey.

Penny lagged a few steps behind, closing the door.

Nancy sat upright, her tone conveying a sense of negotiation.

"Tell me the truth," she demanded.

Colin reacted quickly and guided Abbey to sit in front of Nancy.

"Mom, this is my real girlfriend, Abbey. Penny is the interior designer for Orlando. I had no other choice

but to bring her here to meet you at that time," he explained.

When she heard the words "had to," her gaze fell upon Penny.

"There have been plenty of opportunities to explain this, haven't there?" she questioned.

After uttering those words, Nancy stood up.

"Penny, please forget what I said earlier. As for, Colin, go to the Fletcher Group in the afternoon."

She intentionally didn't mention Abbey.
