Luna was pissed off. She was close to Charlotte and had been living the life since she joined Fergerson Corporation. That was mainly because of the relationship between her cousin and Caleb.Since Penny appeared, Caleb reprimanded her twice and she never dared to call him her cousin-in-law since then. Caleb had never done that to her before.Luna could not help but tear up. Her aggrieved appearance was enough for everyone to suspect that Penny did something to her even if she did not say anything.She did not answer Penny, and things turned awkward.The executives looked at Penny. After all, she was not as well-known as Luna. She was known among interior designers, but none of the high-ups were her clients. She was a stranger to them.Luna was Charlotte's cousin, and Charlotte would soon become the wife of the CEO of Fergerson Corporation.They wanted to indirectly curry favor with Mr. Fergerson by siding with Luna.Therefore, they spoke up as though they were righteous."Whi
Penny shifted her gaze without much emotion surging within her heart. At most, like other people in Imperial City, she could not help but want to sing praises for the famous couple.However, she still somewhat felt that Caleb’s taste was truly questionable.Although she did not know Charlotte, her every movement exuded a pick-me vibe.Moreover, he even kept a woman who admired him by his side as a spy. He could bear to do this for the sake of his beloved.Everyone was silent all the way until they stopped at the first floor.Out of politeness, Penny fell a step behind them.Several executives followed behind Caleb and walked out.Penny originally wanted to go straight to the studio, but she thought of the task her father had entrusted to her. That was, she must take Caleb to the Sullivans’ residence tonight.Honestly, given Caleb’s extreme disdain for her as his wife, she believed he would not go to the Sullivans' residence even if she were to suddenly fall gravely ill—unless c
It was such a coincidence.It was truly too much of a coincidence.It was simply too much of a coincidence that Penny was somewhat taken aback.In the future, she would inevitably run into Liam again.Not to mention, Liam happened to be Caleb’s cousin.Liam, too, was surprised and walked straight in.“Penny, do you live here?”Penny nodded and managed a smile. “Hi, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Jones’ girlfriend?”Without any hesitation, Liam wrapped his arm around the woman's waist and kissed her cheek.“Yes, it looks like you’re going to be neighbors.”Penny continued sweeping the floor, wanting to say that it was fine even if they did not take each other as neighbors. She really did not want to become neighbors with Liam’s girlfriend, not forgetting the fact that Liam’s mother still thought that she was Liam’s girlfriend.Now that his official girlfriend was in front of her, Penny was really worried that everything would become chaotic if Mrs. Fergerson came to visit one day.Howev
When he received the call from Sir Fergerson, a trace of mocking disdain appeared in Caleb’s eyes. He said softly, “I understand. I’ll go over once I’m done with the social event.”He had already helped the Sullivans through two rounds of financing and signed a contract with that woman. The Sullivans should have stayed quiet for a while.Yet, they now wanted him to personally visit them, giving them that much honor. The Sullivans were rather presumptuous.Caleb believed that he had already been more than generous to the Sullivans. He had merely left Imperial City in the past, rather than forcefully leave behind a divorce agreement.He had thought that the woman was also forced into this—just like him—and both were unwilling.However, upon meeting her, he saw the blatant admiration in her eyes that was so undisguised. She was even filled with ambition. It was simply unpleasant.He even felt that she had probably incited their marriage in front of Sir Fergerson.After all, Grandpa
Penny glanced at the woman next to Nathan. She had flamboyant red hair and thick, black eyeliner that obscured her original features under all that heavy makeup.Seeing Penny approaching with a stormy countenance, the woman spat out disdainfully.“Nathan, who is this?”“Ah, she’s… she’s my cousin.”"You’re lying. Didn’t you say you have no relatives in Imperial City? Is she your girlfriend?”“No, no, she isn’t!”Nathan hastily tried to explain, but the woman slapped him across the face and spat on the ground.“Get lost! Don’t ever come fucking looking for me again.”Nathan tried to chase after her but was held back by Penny.“Nathan! Don’t forget you’re a married man. What’s the point of mingling with other women? At least get a divorce first!”The woman had not gone far. Seeing Nathan getting entangled with Penny and thinking about the half a month she spent putting in effort on that man, her face twisted with anger.She turned back around and pushed Penny toward the road.
“Could you please stop interfering with my life? They’re my parents, not yours. Besides, don’t you have a mess of your own with your family? Stop bothering me. I’m leaving.”“Go ahead, I’ve already called the police. If you leave, that woman will go to jail.”Nathan’s steps faltered, and his face became slightly distorted.Penny was firm in her decision. “I’ll have someone take you back and notify your uncle and aunt to pick you up.”“Penny!”Nathan said this, then his tone softened.“Don’t worry about me anymore. I'd rather starve outside than return to that home.”Caleb’s car window was open. The last time Penny and this man had a fight, he was also present.However, Nathan’s accent was too heavy, so he could only understand the gist of their conversation. Caleb truly had no interest in his family affairs.Even so, he did not ask the driver to drive off, considering the driver was still startled from earlier.Knowing that Caleb was still there, Penny truly did not want to e
Belle had been invited in and, out of courtesy, Penny brought her some water.Belle had previously visited Penny’s place with Liam, but the place had changed after Penny redecorated. Moreover, Nani obediently sat nearby, occasionally wagging her tail and appearing quite well-behaved.Belle really liked Nani. Before she chatted with Penny, she even brought some jerky from her place for Nani to chew on.“Penny, you know Liam comes from a wealthy background, right? When I got together with him, many people told me he’d soon dump me. After all, I’m just a receptionist. We met when he was working for a few days at Fergerson Corporation.”It must have been the days Caleb forced him to go for training at Fergerson Corporation.It seemed Liam did not forget to flirt around while he was there.Penny had previously seen Liam getting tangled up with his ex, who was a glamorous beauty. However, Belle was more of a demure beauty, so obviously, Liam’s tastes had changed quickly this time aroun
[Liam, you’re right! Penny is truly talented. Not only is her interior design superb, but her portrait painting is also excellent!]Liam had indeed been planning to settle down recently, and he treated Belle well. The communication between the two had been ongoing.However, when he saw this photo, his eyebrow raised and he sent the photo to Caleb without hesitation.[Is that you, Cousin?]It was already ten in the evening, and Caleb had just arrived at the Sullivans’ front door.The Sullivans had made a call to Sir Fergerson. He had to attend this dinner, but when he arrived was up to him to decide.The table at the Sullivans’ household was filled with delicious food. The whole house was filled with an appetizing aroma, but the faces of those sitting inside were more miserable than the next.It was supposed to be dinner time, but Caleb and Penny were late. Moreover, Penny had not even picked up her phone until now.Zane was so angry that he almost fainted, and Susan kept adding
