Chapter 1741: It’s not another problem—it’s a condition

Penny discussed further details with Yugi and Wild regarding some matters that had occurred while she was gone. After all, this was the first time Penny was stepping away from the Prime Group’s affairs in a long while. Yet she showed no shred of hesitation—this wasn’t just about her husband.

"About that." Penny sat straighter, crossing one leg over the other in a relaxed manner. "I don’t think we should make that our first move."
