The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 511: Brazenly Bold

The Yorke parents were still waiting outside the neighborhood, and finally they managed to catch Penelope Thatcher.

The couple immediately stepped forward to block Penelope.

"Are you Penelope?"

Penelope looked at the two strangers and asked, "Who are you?"

Mrs. Yorke quickly spoke warmly, "Penelope, we’re your father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Penelope’s mouth twitched hard; she hadn’t even gotten married, so how could she have a father-in-law and mother-in-law?

"I don’t know you, stop saying nonsense."

"Child, how can you say we’re talking nonsense..."

Mrs. Yorke was a bit anxious, and Mr. Yorke immediately pulled her back, saying to Penelope, "It’s our first meeting, Penelope, it’s normal for you not to recognize us."

Then Mr. Yorke looked kindly at Penelope, appearing like a gentle old man, "Penelope, we’re Jordan’s parents, and we specifically came to see you."

Penelope’s eyelids twitched.

"Oh, so it’s you."

Calling themselves father-in-law and mother-in-law right from the start made Penelope not take a liking to these two elders.

No wonder Jordan Yorke was so self-delusional; turns out it runs in the family.

The two saw that Penelope seemed soft and easy to talk to, and didn’t think she was that formidable.

A girl like this, once in their grasp, wouldn’t the Yorke Family be able to do whatever they wished?

And this woman caused their precious son to end up in jail; once he was out, they wouldn’t let her get away with it.

But at this moment, offending Penelope was clearly out of the question.

"Penelope, we’ve heard about you and Jordan’s situation; no matter how big a conflict a couple has, they should resolve it behind closed doors. How could you send your own man to jail? What would others think if it gets out? Listen to Mom, go get Jordan out."

Mrs. Yorke spoke earnestly, appearing to consider Penelope’s feelings. "Jordan already said that if you’re willing to bail him out, he’ll live well with you afterward. As a wife, you shouldn’t be so particular."

Mr. Yorke quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, Jordan is a very honest child, he wouldn’t dare have second thoughts about you. Since he’s promised, he will definitely fulfill it. Penelope, hurry and come with us, get Jordan out. The longer he stays in there, the longer he suffers. We elders feel miserable seeing this, and you must feel uncomfortable too."

After speaking, Mrs. Yorke even reached out to grab Penelope, eager for Penelope to go and get Jordan out immediately, unable to wait any longer.

Penelope swiftly evaded Mrs. Yorke’s hand, raising her eyebrows slightly, clearly displeased.

"Did Jordan ask you to come find me?"

"Yes, Jordan is thinking about you, don’t stay angry with him."

Penelope scoffed, "I have no relation with him, I advise you not to spread falsehoods."

Seeing that even as a mother-in-law she’d lowered her status to invite Penelope, and still Penelope maintained her stance, Mrs. Yorke felt somewhat discontent.

These city girls were too unruly. If they were in the countryside, which daughter-in-law would dare speak to her mother-in-law like this? She would have been beaten long ago.

"Penelope, how can you say you have no connection with Jordan? Jordan claimed you lived together before, he sacrificed so much for you. You can’t just turn your back like this; what about Jordan’s future?"

"Lived together? Didn’t your son tell you I just hired him as a housekeeper?"

"Housekeeper? How could a girl like you hire a man as a housekeeper for no reason? It must be because you fancy our Jordan."

These words were spoken boldly, as if her son was truly a man so attractive that women couldn’t resist.

"Besides, my son is so accomplished. Joining a big company as soon as he arrived in the city, how could he become a housekeeper? You city girls really lack manners. When Jordan is out, you must be properly taught the rules. Otherwise, we won’t accept such unruly daughter-in-laws."

Penelope internally scoffed, conversing with Jordan made her feel like a chicken talking to a duck, completely out of sync.

Now dealing with Jordan’s parents, that feeling of helplessness returned.

No wonder they say ’birds of a feather flock together’; this family’s temperament is the same.

"I’ll say it again, Jordan Yorke was just a housekeeper I hired. If it weren’t for his pitiful state, I wouldn’t have even wanted him as a housekeeper. Didn’t expect my moment of mercy would let the wolf inside; Jordan Yorke abused his position and stole so many things from me, some of which haven’t been recovered. Since you are his parents, fine, Jordan Yorke owes me money, you can repay it."

Mrs. Yorke glared at Penelope in fury, "You’re lying! My son would never steal from you; don’t slander him!"

"The court has already sentenced him; is that slander?"

"Wasn’t it all a misunderstanding? You and Jordan are together; why separate what’s yours from his? Yours is his."

Penelope thought these two elders were even more outrageous than Jordan Yorke, always able to ignore inconvenient facts, only hearing what they wanted and treating it as truth.

Mr. Yorke also spoke earnestly, "Penelope, we all know Jordan hurt you before, but he acknowledges his mistake now—better late than never. You should forgive Jordan and live well with him. After all, you are Jordan’s person now, and should always be with him. Otherwise, how would it look if word got out?"

Penelope had no patience left to deal with these two, coldly and indifferently saying, "You two—do you not know the nature of your own son? Am I stupid or blind to have been interested in him? Pass him a message for me: stop dreaming, wake up, stop living in delusion. And you wake up too, face reality; your son isn’t so exceptional to deserve anyone’s affection."

The Yorke couple had faced Penelope’s humiliation repeatedly, gradually losing their smiles.

"Which daughter-in-law behaves like you? Sending her own man to the police, are you proud?"

Penelope replied, "Sending a thief to jail so he can’t harm others again makes me absolutely proud."

Mrs. Yorke was enraged, "This damned girl, won’t listen to civil words? As your mother-in-law today, I must teach you a lesson!"

As she spoke, reaching out to hit Penelope.

Unexpectedly, Penelope’s bodyguard emerged from nowhere, blocking in front of her.

The bodyguards were all tall and formidable-looking, startling the couple, forcing them to back off.

Being bullies who fear the strong, they originally thought Penelope was alone, hence their boldness. Now they knew Penelope had bodyguards, they didn’t dare approach her at all.
