Chapter 798: Why Zoren, and not him?

Meanwhile...

Dean strode fiercely, his steps hurried and heavy, following Zoren and Penny as the two of them approached their car.

"Penny!" he called out loudly, knowing he wouldn't be able to get close to them because of the guards surrounding them. It didn't feel good, as it only amplified the distance that had steadily grown between them. "Penny!"

Penny and Zoren didn't stop. Zoren pretended not to hear Dean's call. He opened the door for her, smiling at her like a true gentleman. But when Penny didn't get in, he already knew what she was going to say.

"Get in first," she said, which he had already guessed in his mind. "I'll just talk to him."

Zoren didn't respond immediately, gazing at his wife in silence. "Will you be alright?" he asked, "Or should I stay with you?"

"It's okay," she reassured. "I can handle him."

"Alright," he nodded after a second. "I'll wait then."

"Mhm." Penny smiled a little, watching Zoren get in first before she turned away. Seeing that she was walking back toward Dean, the bodyguards didn't dare stop her anymore as they headed to their respective cars. However, not all of them got in; some stayed outside on standby, ensuring Penny's safety.

Standing in front of each other, Dean huffed sharply as he held her gaze.

"What's the meaning of this?" he asked through gritted teeth, taking a step forward, only to glare at the bodyguard, who immediately moved a step from his vantage point. The bodyguards only stopped because Penny casually raised a hand.

"Dean, what do you mean by 'what's the meaning of this?"" Penny tilted her head to the side. "Isn't it obvious?"
