Female Novel
Chapter 81 Taunting From The Rival
When Penny saw her, mixed emotions filled her eyes. Nonetheless, she still calmly greeted her, "Lulu
McDonald. What a coincidence!"
Lulu pulled out a seat and sat down without asking for permission. "Yes, what a coincidence! And who
is this?"
Penny went on to introduce, "This is my husband, Nathan Cross."
Lulu's eyes darted around as she casually inquired, "Oh, and what does Mr. Cross do for a living?"
Nathan answered truthfully, "I'm unemployed at the moment.”
Lulu sneered when she heard the answer. "It's no wonder you're here eating such cheap food."
Nathan smiled without denying her claim.
Penny was somewhat displeased and asked, "Lulu, aren't you here to eat?"
Lulu let out an exaggerated shriek. "Eat?
Here? Goodness, I would never eat at such a trashy low-class place!"
Lulu's words had incurred the glares of the other surrounding customers, in addition to Nathan and
Penny's frowns.
Penny asked, "If you're not here to eat, then why are you here?"
Lulu answered smugly, "My boyfriend is preparing to make an investment in this area. He's here to
have a look around, so I've accompanied him. I usually only dine at Michelin restaurants. Never would I
get caught eating cheap fast food like this."novelbin
Nathan stood up. "Penny, I'm done eating. Give me a second and I'll drive the car around."
Penny nodded, "Okay!"
Lulu looked at Nathan as he was leaving before she casually said to Penny, "Oh dear, Penny. You were
once the prettiest girl at our school. How did you end up like this?”
"I'd heard that you had a child out of wedlock before you were kicked out of your family. Still, I don't
think that you'd needed to settle, marrying yourself off to an unemployed bum."
Right then, a middle-aged man in an Armani suit walked over, while looking at Penny with bright eyes.
"Lulu, is this gorgeous lady your friend?”
Lulu saw the middle-aged man and immediately leaned in affectionately. "Siegfried, let me introduce
you to Penny. She's my friend from back in university. Penny, this is my boyfriend, Siegfried
Humphrey."
Penny gave a slight nod and politely answered, "Mr. Humphrey looks to be doing well for himself
career-wise. Lulu has found a good man."
Siegfried's eyes roamed up and down Penny's body sleazily while he feigned modesty, "No, no. I've
only just started my business."
Lulu quickly jumped in. "Siegfried, you're doing superbly! You were a CEO at Diva Limited; you've
accumulated all that managerial experience as well as millions in wealth and assets. Now you're
preparing to start your own company, buying a super expensive Benz! That's the definition of a
successful person!"
Lulu turned and looked at Penny. "Don't you agree, Penny?”
Penny nodded, "I guess!"
Lulu was purposely bragging to Penny, hoping to see some form of jealousy or resentment on her face.
Yet disappointingly, there was not a trace of it to be found.
She quickly switched the conversation. "Oh right! Penny, didn't you say that your husband was going to
get the car? What's taking him so long?"
"What car is he driving? Don't tell me it's some kind of van! Haha, it must be! You're eating at such a
cheap place, you can't possibly drive a nice car..."
Lulu had not finished her sentence when a BMW M760Li xDrive pulled up in front of the restaurant.
She was thunderstruck to see Nathan getting out of the car.
