Chapter 1045 Being Perfunctory With Him

Author: Twin Bridge
With that touch of makeup, Taliah instantly looked much livelier and more spirited.

Winona took her photo, did some editing, and then let Taliah log into her account to post it on Instagram.

[Sorry for worrying everyone. I just woke up. The company's leaders have been with me in the hospital the whole time. I'm okay now. I hope my fans don't take any extreme actions and don't hurt my teammates who have been fighting alongside me.

[This incident isn't the company's fault. None of us expected that to happen.]

This post quickly soared to the top of the trending topics, pushing down the criticism against S.M.

The fans outside the company's doors started to disperse after seeing this update.

As for those irrational fans who had smashed the windows, they would be dealt with by the police.

Penny stood up and walked to the window to look down.

There were still many fans gathered below, but at least it was possible to leave now.

It was at this moment that Winona reminded her.

    Khloe sneered to herself because she had already the viral news. Penny was most likely still with Taliah, and it would be well past eight o’clock by the time she arrived. Besides, she had prepared for a showdown to happen here as well. The corners of her lips curved upward. She knew she could not rush things and thus continued talking to the other ladies after she finished her sentence. Everyone was praising her boyfriend and brother, telling her how handsome they were. Khloe held a glass of wine in her hands and made her way through the party with ease. Caleb merely stood in a corner, and everyone who tried approaching him to say hello backed away when they sensed his frosty aura. It was chillier than even the room’s air-conditioning.Finn, the star of the night, had the most on his plate that evening. He was usually not much of a talker, but he knew he had to at least exchange pleasantries with all the party’s attendees. He had a calm expression, but there was an aggrava

    Neither Holly nor Hansel had ever imagined they could step foot into a place as luxurious as this. The man had told them the attendees all had a minimum net worth of a billion dollars.A billion… That was money they would never even dare to dream of in their lives. As they walked in, they took in the sprawling mansion, the massive swimming pool, and the seemingly never-ending golf course just a couple dozen feet away from them. They were from the suburbs and had no idea how golf worked. All they knew was that the mountains were beautiful and much better-looking than those back home. The men told them to work in the kitchen because their looks and ages would not allow them access to the front hall. Only the young and good-looking were allowed to work in the front hall. Holly and Hansel had not forgotten their instructions. Penny would be here this evening, and their job was to humiliate her. Since their daughter refused to acknowledge them, the only way to scare her would

    Selina was feeling smug. If Caleb had abandoned Penny, that would mean the woman was worth nothing.Her company was only established not too long ago. Destroying Penny would be as easy as killing an ant for the Sanders family. Selina thought her time to get revenge had arrived. However, Holly could not sense her hatred for Penny and thought Selina was there to help Penny. “Judge for yourself, everyone! She owns a company now, so is it really that bad that I approached her to ask for some money? Given her current status, money is no longer something valuable to her. "It wouldn’t be too much for her to give out several hundred thousand dollars, right? Yet, she only gave me a measly 3,000 dollars last night. I went through so much trouble to carry her to term, and all that is only worth three grand?" Everyone’s gazes landed on Penny. No matter the reason, being the person everyone was gossiping about in such a venue was extremely humiliating. Not to mention the fact there were

    Caleb’s arrival caused Penny to feel slightly less overwhelmed by everything going on. She was no saint and had a hard time accepting the fact she was not Maeve Easton’s daughter. After countless nights of sobbing, she only found the will to live by reminding herself of the love Maeve had shown her. Perhaps she did not dare look for her family because she was afraid she was abandoned. The word 'family' was even more hurtful than the swords her enemies drove into her body. There was a part of Penny that had always hated herself, and she hated herself even more upon finding out what terrible people her parents were. Caleb’s appearance seemed to rejuvenate her. Chuckling, she said, “What explanation should I offer you? Didn’t you want a million dollars from me? Fine. I’ll give you a million dollars to cut ties with you. Don't contact me anymore.” Before attending the party that evening, Holly and Hansel had thought a million dollars was a sky-high number. However, after

    Everyone gasped when they heard that. Before this, everyone had thought he was dating Khloe and that they were going to get married soon. What was going on now? Finn’s gaze landed on Penny before he spoke coolly. “Haven’t you already introduced her before?” That surprised everyone even more. Finn had long since known Penny was Caleb’s girlfriend? Was Penny the woman Caleb had been referring to on social media?Odd looks appeared on their faces. If Caleb liked Penny, how did Khloe fit into the picture? Caleb smiled at Finn as he pointed toward upstairs.“Penny’s not in the greatest mood right now. I’ll come back down soon after I console her.” Finn nodded. Caleb pulled Penny toward his chest and led her toward the nearby elevator. At that moment, Penny felt like a puppet that did not have the capacity to think. All she knew was that Caleb had acknowledged their relationship in front of so many people. He had kindly and generously given her a title.Love would no

    Before Penny realized what Caleb was about to do, she found herself being pressed onto the sofa.She grew worried about someone coming in and quickly suggested, "Let's go home. This is someone else's house."Caleb was breathing heavily as he gripped her waist tightly."Just a taste," he said.Penny was nervous about this, but she was unable to dissuade him.Caleb's idea of a quick taste turned out to be an extended encounter that lasted until the end of the party.When she was escorted downstairs, her legs were trembling.In the hall, only a dozen guests who had not left were saying their goodbyes to the Sanders.Caleb held her close as he approached Finn to say goodbye as well, planning to leave.Exhausted, Penny suddenly asked, "Where's Winona? Give her a call."Since their separation, she had no idea where Winona had gone.Caleb was still holding her as he looked at Finn.Finn stood quietly in front of the remaining guests, his eyes betraying his impatience. He was like

    Caleb's frown deepened as he tossed away the cigarette in his hand."Hansel said Penny was born from Holly's affair, right?"Finn flipped through the documents in front of him, uncovering a more sordid truth."It's likely. Holly Zimmerman... used to work in Union County's red-light district. As you know, security wasn't as good 20 years ago. Hansel was a small-time thug who had served time for assaulting a neighbor's daughter. "After his release, he married Holly, who had decided to part ways with her old life. He also has a crippled brother, whom he caught Holly seducing. When the child was born, Hansel suspected it was his brother's daughter, so he sold her. "The hospital records also show that the child's father is Hansel's crippled brother."The revelation was uncomfortable. It was a mother's affair with her husband's brother, leading to the birth of a child. Not to mention, the child's father was a poor cripple of questionable character."Caleb, I've interrogated the coup

    Penny had kept herself busy for so long, and this time, her illness hit her hard like a rock.After seeing the several coffee cups, she checked the time on her phone, only to realize she had slept for several days.As she rubbed her forehead, her fingertips trembled slightly. She had so many nightmares. Sometimes, she dreamed of Maeve; other times, she dreamed of the small town she had visited recently and of waking up covered in marks.She felt a strong sense of self-loathing, even nausea and disgust.However, when she opened her eyes and saw Caleb, she felt much better.She looked at the coffee cups next to him, frowning."Did you drink all these?"Caleb's eyes still showed signs of fatigue, but he first checked her forehead to make sure her fever had subsided. Only then did he finally relax."Caleb, you have a stomach problem."He chuckled lightly and instructed the helper to take away the coffee cups. He had just finished drinking them, not expecting her to wake up at that

    Penny was displeased but was too shy to voice it out. Her body felt empty.“Are you happy that he’s back?” “No.” “Then, do you want me?” Penny bit her lip. He had caused sweat to break out across her body. Caleb’s phone rang. Finn was on the other end of the line. He answered the phone, and Finn’s voice rang out. “Imperial City is going to be in chaos tonight. The higher-ups are hunting for the results of Caspian's experiments, and even Uncle Shawn is getting involved in this. "He just called and told me that the higher-ups contacted him and basically forced him to agree to convince Caspian to give them the results. "Cas has also contacted the higher-ups himself and told them that unless Penny is by his side, the mental torture he was subjected to will stop him from recalling where he’s put the chip.” It was a matter of national security, and this was what Caspian was using as his bartering chip the minute he returned. There was no doubt the higher-ups would put a

    Penny had made it out of the room by then. Her face was deathly pale. “Penny!” Caleb ran after her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her behind a pillar where no one could see them. Caleb knew what was going through her mind, and he held her face in his hands. She did not look at him. Her chest heaved as she struggled to process the truth. Caleb did not know what to say and merely brushed the tip of his nose against hers. When she did not resist, he slowly moved down and kissed her. He knew why Caspian had chosen this sort of appearance. Not only would he manage to devastate Penny, but he could also announce to everyone that he was Penny’s first love. That way, he could also cause Caleb to find himself in a sticky situation. However, Caleb could not care less. As he kissed Penny, he tightened his arms around her waist. Their breaths turned ragged as they continued kissing for another ten minutes. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder. His back was slig

    Despite everyone staring at him, Caleb only had eyes for Penny. Penny did not know the reason behind that, and her brows were knitted together tightly as she watched Caspian make his way down from the second floor. He took the ring from the host and placed it before her solemnly. “I’m here to fulfill my promise, Penpen.” Penny wanted to smack his hand away, but he slowly bent over and smiled as he took her hand. He tried to put the ring on her finger, but his actions were stopped by someone else. He looked in the direction where the hand had come from, and his gaze met Caleb. “Long time no see, Caleb.” Caleb pulled Penny from her seat into his arms. She was left with no choice but to sit on his lap. Caleb could not care less about whatever sort of tricks Caspian would pull. If he allowed Caspian to put that finger on Penny’s finger, he would change his last name! Penny wanted to struggle out of his grasp, but the warmth of his body caused her to stop. He was still

    Some people were speculating if they had gotten back together again, and some were even wondering if Caleb was blind. Why did he pass on Khloe Strauss and choose a designer who did not come from a prestigious family? No matter how well Penny ran her company, these people would still view her as a lowly designer fighting to make a name for herself in the market. She ignored everyone else’s stares and merely took a piece of tissue. She turned slightly to wipe the sweat from Caleb’s forehead. Caleb opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. The two did not say anything. Plenty of people were standing around them, but the light above their heads seemed to have enveloped them in a world of their own. Penny felt her heart rate increase as she clutched the tissue and returned her gaze to the stage. “This is a piece of emerald that Mr. Winston Hill has donated. Bidding starts at three million dollars.” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Winston. Winston smiled at everyone as he int

    Ethan patted her head and then noticed Sean's gaze shifting toward them."Sean?"Sean leaned back and remained silent, merely twirling his phone between his thumb and forefinger. His lowered lashes cast a shadow.He stood up and heard Ethan say again, "Leave your phone."Sean chuckled. "Ethan, you're being too serious right now."He left his phone behind and went upstairs.Khloe continued to sway Ethan's shoulders."Ethan, I had Wind take action against Penny tonight. This time, success is mandatory. Failure is not an option."Ethan's expression turned grave instantly. "Didn't I tell you not to act on your own?""But I nearly lost my life because of her, twice."After saying this, she touched the area over her heart, her complexion turning pale in a moment."Khlo?"This time, Khloe genuinely felt discomfort in her heart, and the next second, she fainted."Khlo!"Ethan was no longer concerned about reprimanding her and immediately took her to the hospital.…Tonight, the

    Penny stood still for a while, feeling unsettled as she got back into the car.Firstly, it was due to her situation with Caleb. Secondly, it was because of Ethan's words. Was something about to happen?She looked up, intending to speak with Winona. However, she suddenly heard Winona's soft sobs. She was lying on the steering wheel, so engrossed in her emotions that she did not notice Penny getting into the car."Winona?" Penny called out.Awakened from her daze, Winona quickly sat up straight. "Ms. Sullivan.""Did your ex-boyfriend come looking for you again? Haven't you already paid him back? Won't his family let you be?""That’s not it.""Is it because he and that woman are getting married? Did they send you a wedding invitation, which made you feel upset?""No."Then what was it?Penny knew that the family situations of the people close to her were quite simple.

    Ethan's gaze fell on Penny, and his brows furrowed. His good upbringing prevented him from making any sarcastic remarks at this moment.After all, Penny was alone on her side. On the contrary, they had strength in numbers. Khloe was just discharged from the hospital today and was planning to welcome friends who had come all the way from Americana to see her.Seeing Penny alone, she felt a surge of satisfaction.Given her status as Ms. Strauss, she had many friends in Americana and would never be as isolated as Penny.She had specifically called Linda over, knowing Linda's temper was explosive. Just a little sob story from her and Linda could spew out some really nasty words.Linda spoke up again at this moment."Slut, we'll get you killed sooner or later!"She touched her face as she glared fiercely at Penny as if she wanted to devour her alive.Khloe quickly intervened, saying, "Linda, let's go. We should head inside."Ethan, Sean, let's go."Sean stood by, sighing slightl
