After doing all this, the man felt a sense of relief throughout his body.He placed the chip into a small box nearby and spoke indifferently."So, all you researchers are perverts, studying such things for no reason. And here I thought it was some kind of world-shaking weapon.""It is a weapon. Major powers can't engage in open warfare with weaponry because they all possess life-saving nuclear arms. So they invest in these kinds of projects. If the results of the experiment can willingly trigger a second personality in a person, and this personality is exactly what they need, then the person will completely become one of them when this second personality appears."Such people can easily instigate rebellion against high-ranking officials of a country."The man laughed scornfully. "Boring."Caspian remained silent for a while before he heard the man ask, "If this triggered personality can be controlled and used by them, is that also why I was triggered?""Yes.""Caspian, I don't
At this moment, Caleb was indeed waiting for Penny as she had promised to come to Kensington Gardens for dinner together that evening.He had purposely taken an early shift and had already instructed the kitchen to start preparing while he was still in the office.After arriving home, he sat on the sofa. Upon seeing the beautiful flowers outside, he could not resist posting something on his social media.After posting, he felt somewhat embarrassed and thought about deleting it, but seeing the comments below, he decided against it.Was this what being in love was like?When he saw beautiful things, he could not help but think about the other person.He wished she was there with him.Such emotions were truly strange.He took out his laptop, deciding to work during this crucial time.However, by 7:00 pm, Penny had not arrived and had not even called.Penny was truly very busy. After working through the night, she arrived at the office past five to continue handling business.Th
Winona approached Penny's office desk, hesitating whether to go in and wake her. However, when she was coming out, Ms. Sullivan seemed to have fallen asleep on the desk. Everyone was exhausted lately, so Winona decided to let her rest.Meanwhile, at Kensington Gardens, the food on the table had been reheated several times. It was to the point where the chef did not dare ask anymore.The food grew cold again, and Caleb looked up at the clock on the wall. It was 10:00 pm.There was not a single phone call, and she was not answering his calls either.He was busy too, but he would always answer her calls, even during meetings.Caleb almost pulled out a cigarette to smoke but then hesitated. He was afraid that she might arrive just as he lit it, and the smell of the smoke would spoil her appetite.He took out the cigarette, put it between his fingertips, and endured it again and again. Then, he finally lit it at 10:30 pm.The chef had already gone home, and the cold food was left on
Penny quietly sighed in relief. But in reality, neither of them ate much, considering how late it was. Eating too much at this time could upset their stomachs.After only about ten bites each, Penny diligently got up to start cleaning up the dishes.She stored the leftovers in the fridge and put their used dishes in the sink. Just as she was squeezing dish soap into her palm, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around her waist.It was typical of Caleb Fergerson. Since she entered the house, he had only grunted once during dinner. Now, while she was still washing the dishes, he initiated intimacy without saying another word.She had not even had time to react before he started kissing her."I have dish soap on my hands. Wait, wait."Nonetheless, he did not listen.In response, Penny accidentally smeared the dish soap directly onto his suit jacket. It was not her fault; it was him who was too impatient.She helped him take off his jacket, feeling dazed by his kisses.In the next mo
If Laura were here, Penny could have chatted with her about it. Then again, she remembered that she had discussed it with Laura before, which only sparked envy and jealousy.Penny rubbed her head as she felt a headache coming.Winona, observing her discomfort, thought Penny truly had a headache."Ms. Sullivan, why don't you take a break? You’ve been looking at files all day, and you're... probably tired from last night."Penny felt a bit awkward upon hearing this and instinctively looked down at her neck.Though somewhat concealed, the faint marks were still slightly visible. In the summer heat, it was impossible to wear a very high collar.She quickly pulled her collar up a bit.Winona sighed. "Mr. Fergerson really does have a lot of energy."It seemed that Caleb, who had called the previous night in apparent anger, was successfully appeased—and thoroughly so too.The marks were not severe, just a light pink, indicating the man had not been forceful.Penny lowered her hand s
"No." Penny quickly sat down in the car.Caleb instantly embraced her, his suit rubbing against her clothes.His long fingers trailed down her back, eventually settling at her waist, gently pressing on it.Penny was exhausted and sore from enduring an afternoon's worth of work. She merely closed her eyes in comfort as he massaged her.She fell asleep in Caleb's arms after finding a comfortable position.After the car stopped at Dawn Haven Villa, Caleb carried her out.Sebastian tactfully drove away, planning to return the next morning.Caleb walked to the master bedroom on the second floor, first placing her on the sofa. Then, he ran a bath, undressed her, and gently placed her in the water.Penny remained asleep throughout.Only when he gently massaged her sore spots did she murmur softly.Caleb glanced at her, took a towel to dry her off, and then carried her to the bed.Afterward, he took a shower himself.Penny was still deep asleep, half her face buried in the pillows.
Winona had been working overtime at the company until 3:00 am. She felt lightheaded as she descended the stairs.Just as she was about to get into her car, several men suddenly rushed out from the side. One of them struck her head with a stick, and she immediately passed out.The men, all wearing caps that were pulled down tightly, quickly dragged Winona into another car.Winona regained consciousness only after being doused with a bucket of cold water. As she lifted her head, she saw several masked men in front of her. The leader threw her phone toward her."Call Penny. Tell her to come and save you."It was clear they were targeting Ms. Sullivan.Initially, she refused to comply and turned her head away.The leader then squatted down, grabbed her hair, and forced her face upward before slapping her harshly."I advise you not to provoke us, or you'll have to entertain all five of us," he threatened.Winona's face turned aside from the impact, with blood trickling from the cor
After hanging up the phone, Penny saw Caleb standing at the scene, lost in thought.She approached him, asking with curiosity, "What's wrong?"Caleb shook his head. "Is your assistant okay?""Yeah."…Winona looked at the rapidly retreating street lights outside the window, awkwardly trying to cover herself with her torn clothes.The car stopped where she was currently living, a complex Penny had previously allocated to the artists.The complex was already well furnished, and several artists had moved in.The security was excellent; the guards at the gate knew each resident's name. Every time someone entered, they were thoroughly interrogated, and visitors had to leave their ID cards. The guards would also call the residents to confirm before allowing visitors in.Winona rolled down the car window and smiled at the guard who was still on duty late at night."Could you open the gate, please?"Recognizing her, the guard opened the large iron gate.Once at Winona's place, she
