“I agree I’ve been neglecting your feelings recently, Laura. I’ll discuss things with Lissy. She truly is too reliant on me.” Laura felt apologetic upon hearing what Mason said. Then again, she genuinely did not like seeing her boyfriend constantly on the move because of another woman. She drew in a deep breath and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. “Alright, I’m going to leave now.” When she finished speaking, she grabbed the nearby keys and left hurriedly. The gentle smile on Mason’s face vanished once she was gone. It was replaced with a gloomy look as he wiped his mouth. His breathing turned ragged when he recalled how their bodies had intertwined just now. He seemed to have become somewhat addicted to the show. However, he had to keep reminding himself that all this was nothing but a game. As he lowered his gaze, he left the premises as well.…Laura first dropped by Fergerson Corporation to try her luck. After all, Caleb was a workaholic, and it was possible he w
She was slightly shocked and grew even more worried for Penny. “Caleb Fergerson, you didn’t give a damn about her during the three years you spent overseas, but she never forgot about the kindness Sir Fergerson showed her. "She even treated Sir Fergerson as her biological grandfather. She'd never hurt him. If you refuse to believe this, what do you even mean when you say you like her?“Penpen never told me much about what went on between you guys. I always advised her not to care too deeply about you when you first started getting involved with each other because your heart belonged to another woman. "She always said she wouldn’t fall for you, but her eyes started to light up whenever she mentioned you—no matter how big of a jerk you were.” Tears nearly began streaming down Laura’s face when she thought of how Penny might be in trouble.“You’re the one who caused her to end up where she is right now. How could you just abandon her without a second thought? Are all men this fi
Penny got thrown into the room again after being brought back from the bar. She heard Casby talking on the phone. The plane was going to take off in two hours, and he was probably going to take her to the airport soon. The aftereffects of the drugs had not worn off yet, probably to prevent any additional incidents from occurring.Her limbs felt like jelly.She was still dressed in the outfit she had worn to the pub. It was so she would not be recognized by anyone else during the journey. “This stuff on your stomach is synthetic skin. It’s a much more sophisticated technique than those who stuff pillows beneath their shirts.” Casby grinned evilly as he patted her stomach. “Let’s go, darling.” Listening to him call her that disgusted Penny. She still did not know what his motive was, and the unknown made things all the more terrifying. She was helped into the car, where she leaned her head against the window.Someone else got into the driver’s seat to drive them, and Cas
Laura was surprised. She made a mental note that she would sing him praises once they found Penny. “Let’s do as he says, Mr. Yonder.” The cars at the scene immediately began speeding after that car. That included Caleb’s car, which Laura had gotten into.“Something about that car seems off to you, Mr. Fergerson?” Caleb did not say anything. Due to the distance between them, he had only gotten a look at one-half of the man’s face. However, it greatly resembled the face in his memories. He tightened his hold on the steering wheel and stepped on the gas. When Casby looked through the rearview mirror and spotted the cars coming after them, he clicked his tongue. “They’ve got their eyes on us. We probably won’t be able to leave the country tonight. Throw them off our trail and get a stand-in over here.”The man in the driver’s seat stepped on the gas as he began making calls. Penny’s eyes lit up after hearing what he said. Casby looked at her and scoffed.“Caleb’s car i
This was on the side of the highway, and the car had now reached the outskirts with tall greenery below.Penny could not hear anything. She only saw the person in front shout, "Sir!"The car came to a stop, and the force pushed Penny straight into the front seat.The driver got out without hesitation and jumped in Casby's direction.Penny took advantage of this opportunity and slowly crawled out of the car.Due to her lack of strength, she even fell down as she tried to get out.Considering the current state she was in, she could only crawl. Plus, the effects of the medicine had not worn off yet, so she could only crawl a few meters away.Sharp stones scraped her palms, leaving them covered in blood. The car that had stopped on the side of the highway had been hit by another car and was sent flying.Despite the loud explosion, Penny's mind was focused on Casby's expression just moments ago.It was as if the Casby from a long, long time ago had returned.Her chest hurt a bit,
Laura felt breathless. She was astonished that someone would say Penny was heartless.Back when the Sullivans treated her poorly, she had never thought about revenge.When the people of Union County let her down, all she did was cut off contact.She appeared cold, but in reality, she had the softest heart.Caleb was the man she liked, the one she had spent so much time with in bed. Now, he was uttering such words.Laura found it amusing. It had been right for her to advise Penny not to get too involved.She took a step back, watching as Caleb's car drove away.Taking a deep breath, she wiped the tears from her face and ran toward the site of the car accident.The scene was already chaotic, with many police officers present.Those stuck behind had no idea how severe the accident was up front and were asking when the road would be open again.When Laura arrived at the burning car, she found that the blaze had not been extinguished yet. The arriving police had already cordoned o
Penny lowered her eyelashes, undeterred by this. She dialed again. But this time, her number was blocked.She had no choice but to call Laura.When Laura heard her voice, she almost screamed."Send me the address. I'll come right away!"Penny handed the phone back to the girl, and her voice was hoarse. "Thank you."The girl had just heard the man's voice on the other end. Seeing that she was pregnant, she immediately offered words of comfort."Was that your husband just now? You're pregnant now. Isn’t he too much of a scumbag? You should divorce him when you get back. Don't marry a man like that."Penny smiled wryly. Well, she had already divorced him. He was her ex-husband.She did not say anything more, but she heard the girl's uncle urging her."Let's go. The debt collectors might really come soon."The girl glanced at Penny, patting her on the shoulder."You must get a divorce when you get back. An unreliable man can ruin a family, just like my dad. He got addicted to ga
However, the girl could not leave the pregnant woman behind, resulting in her uncle getting hurt as well.The man sighed and raised his hand to touch her cheek, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't cry..."However, the girl's tears flowed even more fiercely.The thugs did not want to witness such a sentimental scene and went forward to grab the girl. Even so, the man kept holding the girl's hand tightly, afraid to let go.He feared that once he let go, the girl would truly be sold off."Uncle, let go."The girl was even begging him.The thugs became anxious. They were worried that the police might come, so they swung the baseball bat, intending to break the man's arm.Then at this critical moment, Penny shouted."How much do they owe you? I'll pay it off for them."She finally reacted, dragging her tired body slowly over.The men's eyes swiftly gleamed at the sight of her face, but seeing her rather bloated body, their gazes turned into disgust."You fatso, why are you putting your
