Penny had been suspicious of Willow's attitude toward her. She thought that the two got along harmoniously but then Willow would yammer to Zane from time to time.

Willow would casually mention something that would make Zane lose his temper at Penny.

Even so, Penny did not think that things were bad between them. Willow would speak to her affectionately every time as if their sisterhood ran deep.

Susan's dislike for Penny was all laid out, but Willow's ill intentions were well hidden.

At that moment, Penny finally figured it out. Willow could not possibly like her because she occupied the position of Caleb's wife.

Penny thought of all the previous events, and it now made sense why Willow insisted on going outside even when she was sick.

Penny heard Willow walking away, so she got up slowly. She could smell Caleb’s natural musk at the tip of her nose. The distance between the two instantly drew close.

She looked up, and Caleb just so happened to look down. The tips of their noses

I can be Mrs. Fergerson if I want to.’She smiled as she flipped through the album on her phone. She stared at the photo with Caleb.Caleb was young in the photo. ‘No one can ruin our relationship. She’s nothing but a clown—absolutely nothing to worry about.’Charlotte had just put down her phone when it rang.

    ‘She's bailed on me a couple of times. Dinner is ready, but she’s sleeping upstairs and making everyone wait for her. She’s nothing but a good-for-nothing living off the Fergersons.’That was how he thought of ‘Penny.’"Let's eat. We won't wait anymore."He said that in a calm tone before he got up and walked to the table.Lucy was extra cautious as she could tell that Mr. Fergerson was fuming.‘Sigh, the two are drifting further and further apart.‘Ms. Sullivan didn’t look too good before she went upstairs. She probably just didn't hear me knocking.’She wanted to boost Penny's image but was interrupted by Caleb before she could speak."I don't want to hear anything about her."His gaze was full of calmness and restraint.

    Penny's back stiffened. She wanted to use the flashlight on her phone to light the floor and pick up the broken shards.However, she was overwhelmed the moment she heard Caleb’s voice.Caleb held a cup in his hand. He must have been working overtime and came downstairs to get a cup of coffee.There was no light inside the house, so he could only vaguely see a figure that he thought was a house staff in the villa."Where's the coffee machine?"He asked softly, already smelling the aroma of coffee at the tip of his nose.Before he went upstairs, Lucy told him there would always be fresh coffee downstairs, 24 hours a day.He needed coffee to keep himself awake when he stayed up late for work.The kitchen was spacious, and the coffee machine was not far from Penny, but she did not dare to open her mouth.Caleb's nose had already picked up the coffee scent, so he walked straight into the kitchen.He did not look at the 'house staff' whose back was turned to him as he put the cup i

    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, 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?

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.
