Chapter 419 Is That Something a Mother Should Be Saying?

Lara looked at Penny with a frown. “Why wouldn’t I have investigated them? Which one of them is unworthy of you?” Penny sneered as she picked up the photo of the man she felt was old enough to be her father. “This man. Is he a candidate to become my boyfriend too?”

In the end, Lara seemed a little guilty. “I investigated them before gathering them into this envelope.

This man might be a little older, but the Anderson Family is considerably influential. Besides, an older man will dote on you more. Look at your dad.” Penny’s expression darkened. “My dad is only older than you by five years. This man is older than me by at least fifteen years.” The scowl on Lara’s face grew fiercer and fiercer. “Then, why don’t you look at the others ?!” In response, Penny picked up another photo. “This is the youngest son of the Landry Family, right? He can’t even be compared to Ben Roberts! At the very least, Ben goes home. This guy spends his days fooling around at nightclubs without even going home! Are you asking me to marry a guy like that?!” Lara suppressed her rage.

“Aren’t all wealthy men like that? When it comes down to it, it’s up to a woman and her means. If you can capture a man’s heart, even a playboy will stop his ways. If not for that, you won’t be able to stop him from fooling around even if you are given an honest and down-to-earth man!” The expression on Penny’s face became darker and angrier. “Is that something a mother should be saying?” “What’s wrong with saying that as a mother?!” “Am I your biological child?! These are the kind of men you dredge up for me?!” “That’s why I gave you a selection to choose from! It’s not like I’m asking you to marry them! Why do you have to give me that attitude?!” “There’s no need for me to choose! I don’t like any of them!” “Penny Nolan!” Lara was so furious that she stood up and pointed at her. “You get less and less considerate as you grow older!” Edward hurriedly stopped her. “Calm down. Let’s talk this out.

If the child doesn’t like any of them, we can just choose new ones.” “Don’t bother choosing new ones.

I’ll find my own boyfriend. I don’t need your help,” Penny said as she stood up to leave. “Stop right there!” Lara yelled at the top of her voice. “Penny, you were born into a wealthy family. You should have known that marriages among the wealthy are all about choosing a partner of equal social status. You can find one yourself, but you have to choose one from among them. You are not allowed to consider other men.” It’s another one of her orders that I’m not allowed to defy. I’m sick of her giving orders here and there whenever she wants to. I’m already 23! What right does she have to decide how my life should pan out? Thus, she suppressed her fury and gritted her teeth as she said, “I said I don’t like any of them!”

Lara said, “Marriages are all about business. Besides, nobody’s marriage is smooth-sailing. After a long while, all sorts of issues will pop up within the marriage. The good things you thought were amazing at the start might not be good after all. Conversely, a marriage you reject might turn out to be the most perfect match for you. At the very least, these men I’ve gathered for you are comparable to you in terms of family background, education, and culture!” In response, Penny gave a self-deprecating laugh. “The most important thing is that it benefits your career development, right?” “That’s right. If you marry them, it will bring the company to the next level.” “Despite how high-sounding your words were, they were ultimately still for your own selfish benefit. With how wealthy our family is, do I even need to marry anybody? I can support myself. Why do I need to live my life revolving around the feelings of a man and suffering because of him? But, my mom wants me to live like that. She claims that all men are unfaithful and constantly fool around at nightclubs. She doesn’t plan to allow me to find a man who doesn’t fool around in the first place. Instead, she wants me to leam how to capture the heart of a playboy. Is that what you should be saying as a mother?! All you know how to do is work! You will never be satisfied; it doesn’t matter how much money you earn, you will never be satisfied! If you cared for me, you wouldn’t try to force these men on me!”

Slap. As soon as she finished her rant, the sound of a slap landing across her left cheek sounded out clearly. “Hey!” Edward jumped in fright. Grabbing Lara, he exclaimed, “We can talk this out! Why did you have to be violent? How long has it been since she came home?!”
