Sherman realized that Penny had blocked him when he tried to call her again. ‘How dare this bitch block my number?! Damn it!’He assumed that Penny would be easy to handle, but it ended up with the police being involved. If Penny insisted on pursuing the matter, he would be exposed and it would ruin his company’s reputation. Sherman was taken aback that a seemingly weak woman like Penny sent the two strong men packing.He still did not know who helped Penny but acknowledged that he had underestimated her."That bitch!"He scolded her with all the bad words he could muster but knew that he had to settle the matter amicably with Penny. He did not want to get into more trouble than he already was.Sherman left his home in a hurry to look for Penny.Penny did not want to spend any more time on the matter and decided that she would leave it to the police to handle.She walked out of the hospital, only to run into Amber Fergerson again.Penny almost subconsciously hid her bruis
Penny knew that Amber was a cultured woman the first time they met as she always spoke softly.Liam called his mother a tiger, but Penny envied him. Apart from her mother, Amber was the most gentle-tempered woman she had ever met.She was emotionally weak after what had happened the night before. It was a humid night. Her cheek hurt and she felt uncomfortable due to the after-effects of the drug.She dreamed of her mother.However, the dream was too short. Her mother had passed away many years ago, and she had long forgotten what her mother’s warmth felt like.Amber was the embodiment of gentleness itself."Penny?"Amber thought that she had upset Penny seeing that she was lost in thought."Every family has their issues. I won’t go if you don't want me to talk to your parents. Remember what I told you last time? Ask Liam for help if something happens. You’re his girlfriend, so he'll help you."The kinder Amber was, the guiltier Penny felt."Madam Fergerson, I will."She de
Penny went downstairs and found no one in the living room. She called her business partner and made an appointment for 7:00 pm. After that, she grabbed her bag and left the house without paying attention to the presents on the coffee table.Lucy was talking to the kitchen staff about making a scrumptious dinner for Penny, so she did not notice that she left.There were not many house staff in Dawn Haven Villa. Penny rarely saw other staff here. She rarely spoke to others except for Lucy, who often appeared in sight.She told Sir Fergerson that she valued peace and quiet.That was why Sir Fergerson made a note to keep it to a bare-bone crew in the Dawn Heaven Villa.Caleb received a call from Sir Fergerson as soon as he got out of the car.Caleb was concerned with Sir Fergerson's health, so he did not talk back. "Grandpa, I'm back at Dawn Haven Villa."Only then was Sir Fergerson able to relax. Penny's father was sick a few days ago, so he found it normal that she was in a bad
‘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. His cold tone shut Lucy up completely.Lucy minimized her presence throughout dinner so as to not annoy Caleb even further.The other house staff were also stepping on eggshells about Caleb.Caleb did not eat much and finished his meal in silence before h
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
The phone was in Penny's pocket, and she did not know who was calling her. The calls came one after another even after she refused to pick up. It was not her lucky day.Her phone kept ringing, and it seemed that it would keep ringing if she did not answer it.Penny felt that there was no other way out. She was already thinking about how to explain the situation to Caleb so that he would not immediately blacklist her.The rain outside the window roared, and the only sound in the room was the ringing of her phone.Penny looked down and tried to take out her phone."Mr. Fergerson, I..."Before she could finish her sentence, another thunder struck, but there was no lightning, so the house was still pitch-black.The sudden thunder distracted Caleb. He did not recognize her ringtone.Otherwise, he would be able to tell right away that his interior designer was right in front of him.Nothing could be heard except for the sudden thunder and the ringing of the phone.Penny had given
Luna did not mention her by name, so Penny just pretended that she did not know who she was talking to and walked past her gracefully.Luna thought she was being obvious and was fuming when she was ignored.‘That damn slut!’She strode forward only to see that Penny had already knocked on Caleb's office door.His voice came from inside."Come in."Penny walked in and stopped Luna, who was about to come forward to question her.Luna walked so fast that the tip of her nose almost hit the door when Penny shut it. She was taken aback and took a few steps back to stabilize herself.She clenched her teeth as she stared at the office door. She sneered and decided to give her cousin another call. She walked to the corner and dialed Charlotte's number.Charlotte answered the call rather quickly and spoke with a gentle tone."Luna, what's wrong? Is Caleb making things difficult for you at work?""Charlotte, the interior designer that I told you about last time is here at Fergerson C
Caleb lowered his gaze and refused to look at Penny.He saw her pick up the documents on the table and sort them out in an orderly manner out of the corner of her eye.There was a knock on the door, and Luna's voice soon followed."Mr. Fergerson.""Come in."He looked away and focused on the computer in front of him.Luna glanced at Penny and smiled before she strode forward."Charlotte called me just now and told me that she bought something for you. It was delivered urgently. Mr. Fergerson, here you go."Luna deliberately opened the gift box to show the cufflinks to piss Penny off."Charlotte wanted to make sure that you would like them. If you don't, the courier is downstairs and we can find you another pair."Penny noticed right away that it was the same cufflinks she got Caleb.She felt guilty when she bought the cufflinks and spent some time choosing them, so she remembered the details.She knew what Charlotte was trying to do.Why was she kicking up a fuss? She was
