Holly flipped the table in one go, spilling the flower petals and red wine all over the floor.Security from the restaurant quickly came in, but she started to throw a tantrum."I'm Penny's mother! How dare you?! My daughter is a CEO, and this man is my daughter's boyfriend!"She pointed at Caleb, but due to Caleb's strong presence, she felt intimidated and quickly withdrew her hand."So, you're on a date with another woman now. You really did our Penpen wrong. I demand compensation for emotional distress, especially since you've slept with Penpen so many times!"As soon as she finished speaking, the other patrons were asked to leave.Some recognized Caleb and did not dare to stay and watch his scandal unfold.Caleb looked at Holly with a cold gaze.Holly shrank back for a moment but then lifted her head defiantly."Isn't it true? You've ruined Penny, and now she won't be able to find anyone else. What are we supposed to do as her parents? If you don't pay for emotional damage
The corridor was quiet for half an hour before Ethan asked, "Mr. Fergerson, have you never really considered getting engaged to Khlo? "Honestly, Penny's background really doesn't match up to yours. If I were to hold her accountable this time, would you plan to stand by her side, Mr. Fergerson?""How do you intend to hold her accountable, Mr. Strauss?""She's her mother, isn't she? Holly pushed Khlo because of her. Khlo has never been humiliated like this in the Strausses household."Indeed, Caleb did not deny this point, having long heard how the Strausses doted on their little princess.The corridor became quiet again, and Ethan did not press him. He was just anxiously looking toward the emergency room.All night long, Khloe was not brought out.Meanwhile, at the end of the corridor stood Wind. He knew that this incident must have been deliberately arranged by Khloe.Although Khloe was physically weak, once she made up her mind, she was willing to do whatever it took.Just l
Caleb had not expected that even if he did not say anything, Penny would still be targeted. It was all because Khloe had already made this request to Ethan early on.When S.M.'s employees were able to get through to Penny's phone, they made over a dozen calls to her. It was all related to the company's new projects."Ms. Sullivan, we took over most of the resources from Astral Motion Pictures previously. But recent news has emerged that a new company has bought Astral Motion Pictures. They've launched several proposals beneficial to our partners. "Those companies that were supposed to cooperate with us have all gone back to Astral Motion again. Astral Motion's management has completely changed. It's almost like the only thing they didn’t do was change the company’s name."Up to now, S.M. had absorbed quite a bit. Even so, the biggest collaborators had decided to abandon S.M. Plus, there was new capital entering Astral Motion, and this capital was so substantial that it directly of
"Winona!"Penny shouted but saw Wind disappear quickly.That stab was just to vent his emotions.He wanted to make Penny suffer. Even if he could not kill Penny, he had to let her get a taste of despair.Penny was so frightened that she quickly got up from the floor and rushed to Winona's side."I'll take you to the hospital!"Winona was holding onto the bleeding wound. Her entire palm was covered in blood."Ms. Sullivan, it's good that you're okay."Penny felt terribly heartbroken. If Winona had just retreated back into the elevator, nothing would have happened. However, Winona stubbornly rushed forward and ended up directly in harm's way.She hurriedly supported Winona, intending to leave. However, Winona shook her head."Ms. Sullivan, have Jackson take me to the hospital. You're covered in gasoline now. A tiny spark could ignite it. If that man is still waiting outside, just a collision could set the car ablaze and burn us both to death."Despite her injury, Winona still
Sean and Ethan also hurried into the ward.Khloe was still unconscious on the hospital bed. Her wrist that was hanging off to one side was startlingly pale.Ethan grasped her hand, sighing softly.Although her life was not in danger, Khloe's health would definitely worsen after this incident.He took out his phone, thought for a long time, and finally decided to call their father.Seeing the number Ethan dialed, Sean was taken aback."Ethan, you're going to tell Dad?""Yes."Sean immediately felt uneasy. Their father was the most authoritative person in the family. If he found out their little sister was in trouble...However, it was too late to stop it. The call had already been made.There was a time difference with Americana. The middle-aged man glanced at the flashing name on his phone screen and pressed the answer button."Ethan, what's going on?""Dad, Khlo is hospitalized here. She’s in a coma. I thought you should know."The man was silent for a moment before askin
Upon learning her baby could be saved, the woman burst into tears and was quickly supported back to her ward by her husband, who had arrived in a hurry.The man kept thanking Penny, and his eyes were red. He explained how his wife's emotions had been unstable during pregnancy. She often broke down, suspecting him of lying and doubting whether the child could be saved. A stranger like Penny could not possibly be lying to her, which greatly stabilized the woman's emotions.Penny observed the woman being embraced by her husband. When her husband arrived, his hair was disheveled and his suit was wrinkled. It was presumably due to some incident on the way.He loved her.They looked into each other's eyes with deep affection. Seeing his wife cry again, the man immediately used his hand to wipe her tears away."My love, let's not have the baby. I really don't like kids that much. With our savings, we could travel the world together.""No, I want the child. I must keep her.""Okay, ok
Penny also opened her mouth, wanting to ask if he truly intended to sever their relationship.However, as they looked at each other, neither of them spoke.A minute later, Caleb walked toward the elevator.Penny hurriedly followed."Caleb..."She followed him all the way to the elevator. Just as the doors were about to close, she blocked them with her hand.Caleb's heart nearly stopped from the shock, and he quickly pressed the open button, looking at her angrily."What do you want to say?""Do you really want to be with Khloe?""Yes."Penny took a deep breath, her hand tightly clutching the bag of medicine."So no matter how I explain things to you, you won't believe I didn't harm Grandpa Fergerson?"Caleb did not respond. He did not want to see her. Just the sight of her face made him feel as though he was being repeatedly cut by a knife.He simply pressed the button to close the elevator doors."The person who harmed Grandpa Fergerson wasn't me. I saw him getting stabb
Caleb stood in the elevator, watching the numbers slowly descend. He was somewhat unable to react.He suddenly snapped back to reality and began frantically pressing the buttons for the upper floors, but those buttons remained unlit.When he reached the first floor, he laughed at himself upon realizing how absurd his behavior was. He walked out of the elevator and began to wait for it to go up again.However, the elevator was heading to the second floor of the basement.The adjacent elevator remained at the higher floors without descending.After waiting for a full minute, he grew impatient. He decided to find the nearby stairs and started running up.After running up eight floors, his forehead was covered in sweat. He grabbed his tie, accidentally undoing a few buttons of his shirt. However, he was not bothered to fix them. He looked up and scanned around. He saw Penny not far away.Penny was wiping her tears, making his heart feel as if it had been pierced by an arrow.Ev
