The Ex-Wife Guide: Mr. Fergerson Persists On Lavish Affection Chapter 122 They Turned Into Enemies Overnight
Under his intense emotions, Nathan did not deliberately try to control his tone, so his voice echoed down the entire corridor.If he was speaking clearly in standard English, then Caleb would certainly understand their quarrel and guess Penny’s identity, especially as Nathan was calling out her full name.However, Nathan dropped out of school early. In his first few years of not studying, he worked at construction sites in several coastal towns, making friends with people from all over the country who came from the countryside to work. At that time, he wanted to escape Union County’s poverty, so he deliberately learned their accents.It was not difficult to understand the meaning of one person’s local dialect, but when accents from multiple towns mixed together, the pronunciation became unclear and strange.Caleb had no idea what the two were arguing about. He could only vaguely hear what Penny was saying.As for Nathan, he did not understand a single word.He was proficient in s

The doctor had already stitched up his wound, and after mentioning a few precautions, he left.Penny took a deep breath, no longer paying attention to Nathan. She went over to Caleb instead.“Mr. Fergerson, do you remember the woman who smashed your car last time? My cousin-in-law?”Caleb’s mind was instantly filled with an image of a shrew's face. His eyebrows were raised slightly.“Mmm.”Penny suddenly found it difficult to speak and lowered her eyelashes.“Mr. Fergerson, I’ll cover the loss of that one million dollars, but I don’t have that much money on me at the moment. Can it be deducted from my design fee for now? As for the remaining amount, please allow me to pay you back on an installment plan. Is that okay?”The design fee for Caleb’s project would certainly be in the hundreds of thousands. If Caleb was generous, it could be around 700 grand.The villa in Kensington Gardens, while not extravagant, was very exquisite and perfectly suitable for a home.Caleb seemed to

She would do anything for him?At his beck and call?Delivering three meals a day to Fergerson Corporation?Regardless, Caleb was not very interested in any of it.However, when he caught a glimpse of the slight embarrassment on her cheeks, he realized she was acting out of a need to make amends.Seeing Penny so humbled, Nathan, who was at the door, could not stand it any longer.Penny was an excellent student, a graduate of the prestigious Imperial University. This man, no matter how rich, should not be humiliating her like this, right?“Penny, what are you doing? You graduated from a top-tier university, and now you’re going to become someone's nanny?”Upon hearing Nathan’s thoughtless words, Penny pursed her lips.Caleb did not know what Nathan was ranting about, but he clearly heard the word ‘humiliated.’He was not originally interested in the conditions Penny had proposed, but after hearing Nathan say this, he lightly turned his injured wrist.“You should know the hote

“I’ve seen you on that street before, Mr. Fergerson, so I guessed that you must also have a house there.”She was glad to have met Caleb while walking Nani.As soon as she spoke, Caleb remembered that Penny seemed to have injured her leg, but she did not seem to have gotten it treated at the hospital earlier?Throughout the journey, she showed no signs of abnormality. Was she enduring it?Indeed, Penny was enduring it. It was excruciatingly painful to even step on the gas pedal.However, she had caused Caleb to be so severely injured and miss the banquet. She felt she needed to do something for him or she would be uneasy.She did not want to owe Caleb in any way.“Mr. Fergerson, I only know that you have a house there, but I don’t know exactly which one it is. Could you point it out later?”She had to play the part till the end.Caleb leaned back, and his gaze quietly fell on her.Penny felt inexplicably uneasy while clutching the steering wheel tightly. Her palms were sweaty

Caleb frowned, again finding that this woman’s lips were truly shut tighter than a clamshell.“Hmm.”Penny let out a sigh of relief, moved that he was not deliberately making things difficult for her. “Okay, I’ll be here on time.”After spraying the pain relief spray, her ankle got some relief. She then lowered her head, organized the medical kit, and put it back into the entryway cabinet.When closing the door, she spoke again.“Mr. Fergerson, you should rest early.”Caleb’s face instantly turned colder, an unclear feeling brewing within him.It was suffocating and uncomfortable.He untied his tie, as if this unexplainable emotion would dissipate substantially that way.However, the act of untying his tie caused pain in his injured hand, making him wince slightly.She was just a woman he was not too familiar with.There was no need to care.Penny did not concern herself with what Caleb thought. She was in a hurry to deal with Uncle Leo’s affairs in Union County.What ir

Penny had not said a word, yet Kiki felt an unprecedented humiliation.Even Sherman, who was still trying to take advantage of Kiki, noticed her abnormality and looked up to see Penny. He immediately felt awkward on the spot.After he came to his senses, a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.“Penny!”He suddenly let go of Kiki, ready to confront her.Penny frowned, not understanding where Sherman’s inexplicable anger came from.“Mr. Cain.”She courteously called out. Even though what Sherman had done before was quite against the spirit of cooperation, she did not really want to create trouble for herself.“Penny, you’re truly impressive. I don’t know what tricks you’ve used, but Jeremy Tate actually withdrew his contract with me because of you! We’ve been working together for three years. I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. I thought you were different from other women, but you’re just a woman who sleeps around!”Penny’s face turned cold.“Mr. Cain, you were the

Penny was so tired at this moment that if Caleb had come one minute later, she would probably have fallen asleep leaning against the wall.When she heard the elevator doors open, her eyes lit up immediately. She looked up and instantly became respectful.“Mr. Fergerson.”Caleb was somewhat pleased by the slight glimmer in her eyes, so his expression softened a bit.He swiped his card to enter the door, and Penny followed behind him, placing the thermos on the coffee table.“Mr. Fergerson, this is tonight’s soup.”The thermos was pink and looked very delicate.Caleb had not expected Penny to be one to use a thermos of this color.She was always very efficient at work and always got straight to the point.There was a flicker of surprise in his eyes, but all he did was unbutton two buttons of his suit.After delivering the soup, Penny wanted to leave. After all, it would be easy for him to think that she might have other ideas if she stayed alone with him.“Mr. Fergerson, enjoy

Winston was a scriptwriter, adept at catching minute details and spiraling his thoughts from there.His guess for tonight was quite accurate—Caleb and Penny were in the same room.Although not on the bed, for Caleb, this was already an exception.Moreover, when Caleb turned around to enter the room, he saw large swathes of skin exposed from Penny’s neck.Any woman draped in a man’s clothes would exude a unique charm.Especially the fact that nighttime was best for fostering ambiguity.Caleb frowned and went straight into the master bedroom.He felt that the bath he just took was not quite right. He should have taken a cold one.At the same time, he was increasingly irritated deep down. Who on earth would sleep so unguardedly in a male client’s hotel room?Was he overthinking or did Penny herself have other ideas in mind?Caleb’s eyes fell on a blanket on the bed. Thinking that she was still covered with the suit jacket, he bent down to pick it up, returned to the living room,

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
The Ex-Wife Guide: Mr. Fergerson Persists On Lavish Affection Chapter 1167 I’m Here To Fulfill My Promise, Penpen
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

After returning to Dawn Haven Villa, Penny pulled up her laptop to check public opinion. There were those who vilified Zach, those who vilified her, and even more who vilified S.M.

Zach had just won a grand prize and was currently a top male star with many fans.Hence, being embroiled in a scandal like this shocked the entire internet.The post written by the autistic child's parents placed Zach directly in the spotlight.The combination of the words 'child', 'abuse', and 'autism' had a huge impact.Fans were voicing their disbelief, but bystanders had already boiled over with rage online, hurling insults and curses.S.M. instantly became the target of public condemnation!When Penny arrived at the entrance of the police station, Zach's agent, Otis, was already waiting there.

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. Winona came from a single-parent family, and her mother did not care much for her.Raven's parents had passed a

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
