After Nathan ordered Colin to investigate the matter, Penny's phone rang.
Penny took a glance at the unknown caller and froze for a moment before answering it.
“Ms. Smith? Is that you?”
Penny answered, “Yes. Who am I speaking to?”
The woman chuckled. “I'm Kendall Culler, a television host for a local television network. I wonder if you know who I am?”
Penny, who seldom watched television programs, knew how famous Kendall was from her mother.
She said politely, “Oh, Ms. Guller! How may I help you?”
Kendall grinned. “You have been the talk of the town lately, so I would like to conduct an interview with you, Ms. Smith. What do you think?”
Penny rejected the offer. “Thanks for reaching out, Ms. Guller, but I don't enjoy speaking to the media and being in the limelight. I'm afraid I have to turn you down. Hope you can understand.”
Kendall responded with a subtle smile. “I understand you don't like to be in the limelight. But I'm afraid you don’t have a choice.”
Penny felt something was amiss upon hearing that remark. Kendall did not seem to be as courteous as she was before.
Penny knitted her brows. “What do you mean, Ms. Guller?”
A corner of Kendall's lips quirked up. Instead of answering Penny’s question, she said, “Thomson is my brother.”
Thomson?Who is he?
