Winona lay on the sofa, feeling dazed. Then, she sensed someone entering her room, and it was followed by Penny's voice."I sent you several messages, but you didn't reply. I got the spare key from the housekeeper. You're still feverish, so I've called a private doctor to check on you."Although Winona was delirious from the fever, she appreciated Penny's kindness.She tried to thank her but found she could not speak due to her sore throat.The doctor administered an IV, inserting the needle into the back of her hand.Penny observed the weak woman and the mottled marks visible through her nightgown. They were clearly not self-inflicted.When Winona mentioned her friend the previous night, she sounded hesitant.Now, it appeared that this man was no ordinary person.However, since Winona chose not to disclose details, Penny did not pry further out of respect for her privacy.She ordered some takeaway and then received a call from Caleb."It's Jeanie. Sam is still hospitalized,
Penny touched Winona's forehead and found that her fever had indeed subsided."Winona, are you sure you don't want to rest at home? As a businesswoman, I really do need you to come back to the company with me, but work should always come after your health.""I'm fine now, Ms. Sullivan."With that, Penny did not insist further, and the two hurried off to the company.For the next week, Penny hardly returned home, except for a few visits to Dawn Haven Villa. Each time, she would find Caleb waiting for her.However, she was so busy that each visit was brief. There was only enough time for her to grab some clothes and plant a kiss on Caleb's cheek before quickly leaving. Caleb was always left to sleep alone. He was initially understanding of the situation, but Caleb grew silent after a week of repeated neglect.The last time Penny returned to Dawn Haven Villa, Caleb was not there.Busy as she was, she called him, but he did not answer.Penny thought about driving to Fergerson Cor
Penny found it amusing and stood up, her tone becoming colder."Let's discuss this after the paternity results come out," Penny suggested.Holly immediately grabbed her hand."Penpen, you won't despise us for being poor, will you? We didn't abandon you, you were actually stolen. Your father and I were devastated when that happened."Penny shook off her hand, her eyes growing cold."I said, we'll talk after the results."Holly's face flared up at this response, but she restrained herself."Then give us your phone number so that we can contact you when the results are out."However, Penny was already heading toward the elevator. She clearly did not want to waste more time on such people.Even, so Holly persisted."Penpen, didn't you hear what I said?"Penny halted, her gaze sharp as she looked back at them."I don't care who sent you, but I don't have time to waste with you. Everything will be addressed after the paternity test."Holly's face paled, and she stood still.Pen
Penny sized up these two people. The paternity test was done, and the process was supervised by Quentin, who had no conflict of interest with her. He would not falsify the results.The hair strands were her own, delivered over by someone from Dawn Haven Villa. Everyone in Dawn Haven Villa was loyal as they were people carefully selected by Grandpa Fergerson himself.Seeing Penny in thought, Holly mistook her silence as contemplation about finding them a place to stay."Penpen, we aren't picky. Since you're a CEO, you must be living in a villa, right? Take us there so we can have a look at it.""Yeah, we traveled all the way from Union County, enduring hours of car sickness just to see you," added Hansel.Both Holly's and Hansel's faces showed sheer ecstasy, as if they had found a walking piggy bank.She was a CEO! Their daughter was living in luxury while they were barely surviving in Union County. Who would have thought that their daughter would be given to a wealthy family many
Thinking she had misheard, Holly quickly got up from the ground and lunged toward Penny!"Do you have no conscience? We're your biological parents! Is this how you treat us?!"Penny almost got dragged down but was fortunately saved by a timely intervention from a nearby bodyguard.She stepped back several times and turned around, leaving Holly behind. The woman was stomping her feet in frustration."You'll regret this! You will!"Shortly after, Holly and Hansel were escorted out, both looking disgruntled. It was especially so in such a high-end setting, where they resembled clowns.Hansel immediately took out his phone and called someone."She refuses to acknowledge us and even had her bodyguards throw us out."A man's voice responded on the other end."Take some pictures of yourselves looking disheveled, preferably in front of the company."Hansel hurriedly complied, knowing that their reunion with their daughter depended on this benefactor over the phone.He was the one wh
"Ms. Khloe, are you attending the party tomorrow?"Tomorrow was Finn’s birthday, and he was the heir of the Sanders family. The Sanders family would hold a grand party every year, and Khloe had already received an invitation. She was definitely going.She slowly propped herself up, picking up the invitation from the table and glancing at it. Her lips curled slightly."Is Cally bringing that woman along? Arrange for Holly and Hansel to attend the event tomorrow. Let them see the extravagance. Once they experience the luxury, they'll likely cling even more to Penny. "Let these two ruin the party. Once it's known they're Penny's parents, the news will spread fast, and Penny will surely feel embarrassed."Khloe chuckled, her fingertip tapping on Wind's forehead."And prepare my gown for me. I want the most beautiful one available."Wind immediately knelt on one knee, gently massaging her leg."It's already prepared, Ms. Khloe. You'll surely dazzle everyone there."Khloe laughed s
Penny leaned on the sofa, feeling exhausted. She forced herself upstairs and managed to take a bath. Once that was done, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.The next morning, she woke up and still saw no messages from Caleb.After arriving at the office, she started another meeting.The executives were all focused, listening intently as Penny spoke for two hours. Finally, she lowered her eyelashes slowly."The recent work is roughly as mentioned. Everyone must not slack off, and the PR department should constantly monitor online public opinion. I'm concerned that the remaining people from Astral Motion might cause more trouble.""Ms. Sullivan, Taliah's show has been released, and it's doing well. There are a bunch of endorsements reaching out to us. She's on the verge of becoming a top star. She'll probably reach that level by the time the show is over."Penny, who had not slept well the previous night, finally yawned.She looked at Jackson."You'll be in charge of Taliah'
Penny felt a headache coming on, as if everything was happening at once and she was struggling to cope."Where are the bodyguards on the first floor? Have them work with the police to guard the entrance and prevent the fans from disturbing the employees.""We've already spoken to the bodyguards. For now, they've managed to hold their positions, but the fans are too frenzied. If Taliah doesn't show, I doubt anyone will be able to go home tonight."Penny hoped Taliah could make an appearance, but she was still undergoing emergency treatment. The doctors said there was no life-threatening danger, but they needed to monitor her head injury.Penny, Winona, and Jackson alternated between standing and sitting, each of them feeling anxious.Penny walked to a small balcony and looked down.The hospital was surrounded by frenzied fans who were all there to visit Taliah. Having heard the rumors of her death spread by some marketing accounts, some were even more distraught. They were even cr
