Chapter 71 Penelope Met Mr. Spencer's Parents
Silverybay Estates was one of the most famous wealthy villa areas in Sea City. In this golden city center, many people struggled for several generations and still couldn't afford such a villa. The vast Silverybay Estates villa area was all property of the Spencer Group.
The villa where Zackary usually lived alone, which covered nearly 500 square meters, was already quite impressive. Jayden's villa, however, covered more than 1,000 square meters. Lyman drove in and it took him quite a while to reach the living room.
Penelope only felt that the villa was too luxurious, and didn't realize it was the territory of the Spencer family, until Lyman took her hand and walked in. Upon seeing Zackary and Lola sitting in the living room, as well as Zackary's parents, Jayden and Cornelia, whom she had only seen in magazines before, and Zackary's elder brother Dylan, and second sister Isabella Spencer, she finally understood where she had come to.
Lyman had always enjoyed following Dylan and Isabella around since he was a child. His relationship with them was like that of close siblings. Naturally, when Isabella returned to her home country, he had to join in the excitement.
Of course, he had his own selfish motives. He knew that even if Zackary and Penelope got married, he would still not be willing to let her go. Zackary valued family above all else. If his relationship with Penelope was approved by the other members of the Spencer family, he would definitely be too ashamed to continue fighting for Penelope in the future.
Zackary's mother, Cornelia, was one of the most renowned traditional Goldwaldian medicine practitioners in the country. She had devoted many years to the research of malignant tumors, and internationally, she was also considered a leading figure in traditional Goldwaldian medicine.
Upon seeing Cornelia, Lyman hurriedly grabbed Penelope's right hand and approached her, "Aunt Cornelia, do you have any super effective ointment? Penelope is injured and it's really painful, I need to apply medicine to her immediately."
Having weathered so many storms, Cornelia could tell at a glance that the young girl Lyman was pulling along was the apple of his eye.
At that moment, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at Penelope.
She didn't know if it was a case of love me, love my dog, but the more she looked at Penelope, the more she liked her. Moreover, she gave her an indescribable sense of familiarity, making her irresistibly want to get closer.
"Yes, I was just about to go upstairs to get it for you."
Soon, Cornelia had taken down two bottles of ointment. She first placed a white porcelain bottle in Lyman's hand, "Rub this on the back of her hand."
Saying this, she picked up the emerald green porcelain bottle again, "Rub this on her forehead, as long as it's applied regularly, there definitely won't be a scar in the future."
Upon hearing Cornelia's words, Penelope couldn't help but touch the wound on her forehead. Such a deep wound, she thought it was destined to leave a scar, but surprisingly, it didn't leave a trace.
Although she didn't have much time left, as a woman who loved beauty, being able to heal the wound on her forehead was an unexpected surprise for her.
"Thank you, Aunt Cornelia!" Lyman said with a sweet smile, then he took Penelope's little hand and carefully applied the ointment.
Penelope was not used to others applying medicine for her, especially in front of so many people. She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Lyman was so strong that she simply couldn't.
The cool, refreshing ointment was applied to the back of her hand, bringing an indescribable comfort. The only discomfort was a chilling gaze, locked onto her hand like a knife, as if intending to pierce a few bloody holes in it.
Penelope lifted her eyelids, and sure enough, Zackary was staring at her with a gloomy expression.
Penelope found it extremely funny. Was this his possessiveness acting up, unable to bear seeing the chicken he had photographed being treated gently by others?
Ignoring Zackary's twisted thoughts, Penelope lowered her gaze, watching as Lyman carefully drew circles on the back of her hand with the ointment, allowing it to absorb better.
"Penelope, does it still hurt?" Lyman asked, looking at Penelope with concern after applying the ointment.
Penelope found it quite remarkable that she always seemed to find a sense of missing fatherly love in Lyman.
Tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily, she shook her head gently, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Upon hearing Penelope say it didn't hurt, a radiant smile involuntarily spread across Lyman's face, "That's good."
Seeing Lyman's appearance, which was like that of a foolish son of a landlord, Cornelia knew that this time, he was completely smitten. The look in her eyes towards Penelope even held a few more degrees of affection, as if she were looking at her own daughter-in-law.
"Lyman, aren't you going to introduce us to this young lady?"
"Oh, let me introduce you all, this is Penelope, I am pursuing her." Lyman turned his face, looking at Penelope and said, "Penelope, this is Aunt Cornelia, next to Aunt Cornelia is Uncle Jayden, the one who looks like an iceberg is Baby Leo, and next to Baby Leo is Isabella."
Baby Leo?
Penelope was taken aback, she really hadn't expected that the business prodigy Dylan, would have such a cute name.
Seeing the confusion in Penelope's heart, Lyman lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "Baby Leo used to be Leo Shearer. Let me tell you, don't be fooled by his serious demeanor now, he was actually very cruel. He always bullied me when we were kids, he was so bad!"
"Lyman, how dare you speak ill of my brother! Are you itching for a fight?!" Isabella couldn't stand anyone badmouthing her elder brother. She made a fierce face, "Believe it or not, I can beat you until you question your existence!"
Normally, Lyman would have already started a quarrel with Isabella, but in front of Penelope, he still had to pretend to be profound.
He lowered his voice, "Isabella, didn't you see my future wife is here! Can't you save some face for me!"
Seeing Lyman's cowardly appearance, Isabella burst into laughter. She got up from the sofa, walked over to Penelope with a smile, "Little girl, I say, what were you thinking, how did you end up fancying this silly boy?"
Penelope wanted to say, she and Lyman were really not a pair.
But she was an understanding girl, and in front of so many people, she didn't want to embarrass Lyman.
She could only say with great effort, "Mr. Hilliard was a good man."
"Pfft..." Isabella laughed even harder, she pinched Penelope's little face, "So tender! Lyman, are you trafficking minors!"
If someone else pinched her face, Penelope might have felt offended, but when Isabella did it, it didn't feel offensive at all. On the contrary, she instantly felt that the distance between them had significantly shortened.
Seeing Isabella staring at her with a giggly smile, she also lifted her face to look at Isabella.
She often saw Isabella on TV. Isabella could be rightfully called an international superstar. Both she and Lola were A-listers, but even among the A-list, there were levels of prestige. Lola's status simply couldn't compare to hers.
It must be said, Isabella was exceptionally beautiful. Her eyes, lively as if they were sprites fallen to earth, could be innocent or bewitching. Every frown and smile was full of charm. Moreover, she was already twenty-nine this year, yet she still looked like an inexperienced high school student.
Penelope had a sudden thought and blurted out, "Isabella, you actually act more like a minor."
"Hahaha!" Isabella laughed so hard she almost cramped, "Little girl, how can you be so adorable! I love it! By the way, when are you and Lyman getting married?"
