Chapter 168 The Sullivans Were Rather Presumptuous

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.

    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

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

    The car horn honked twice, and the lights came on.Sebastian had just settled back into the car when a thought struck him, and the window rolled down.“Additionally, Mr. Sullivan, please refrain from calling Sir Fergerson again. Sir Fergerson is unwell, and if something were to happen, the Sullivans won't be able to bear such responsibility.”If it had been a display of authority before, now it was a warning. It was a warning to the Sullivans not to reach too far.Zane was so furious that his mind went blank, and his fingertips started to tremble.Willow, on the other hand, had quickly come forward, her face filled with excitement.“Mr. Fergerson.”Through the glass window, she gazed inside in an entranced manner.Caleb had clearly shown no respect toward them, but Willow could not see that. She only hoped that Caleb would pay attention to her.If she showed her face more, Caleb would start to like her.“Mr. Fergerson, don’t be angry. The Sullivans were thoughtless this time

    Caleb did not reply a word. He simply turned off the screen of his phone, acting as if he had not seen Liam’s inquiry.Penny did not know at that time that a photo of her painting had been sent to Caleb. After eating the late-night snack Belle brought, she planned to go to sleep.Nani was sleeping under the bed, occasionally twitching her ears.Penny reviewed her recent tasks in her mind, and that night, she was able to sleep soundly.The next morning, she ate her breakfast and went to the construction site.The workers were fast. It was probably because Jeremy had given notice, so the people that came this time were very efficient. Penny simply had to choose the next materials and make some adjustments on the spot.Upon making sure that the construction was progressing smoothly, she dug up the list of materials. Except for Union County’s Jade Sandalwood Flooring, almost all the materials could be bought on the market, and with the connections she had accumulated over the years,

    “Madam Fergerson, are you okay?”Amber’s head was bleeding, and she was a little unconscious. The driver in the front seat had even fainted.Since they were the ones hit, their situation was more serious than Penny’s.At that moment, the surroundings had become chaotic, and the traffic police had come over.Amber raised her hand, rubbing her aching head. Seeing Penny, she did not immediately pursue responsibility for the accident.“Penny, are you alright? Are you injured?”Penny suddenly felt guilty and quickly helped her down.“I’m fine. I’m truly sorry. I’m calling 911 now.”The front driver was also dragged out by the traffic police. Fortunately, it was just a minor injury, but they still needed to go to the hospital.Penny, being the driver, was immediately questioned by the police.Amber initially wanted to help her, but she heard her say, “Madam Fergerson, the ambulance will be here soon.

    Liam was slightly stunned, but upon hearing that his mother had been in a car accident, he could not sit still. He immediately put on his clothes and wanted to get out of bed.His mobile phone was left on the bed, and it was now on speakerphone. The driver’s voice continued to come through.“Mr. Liam, Madam would like you to care for your girlfriend. She was also injured and should be at the police station now. Madam said you don’t need to come see her.”Belle had originally wanted to cling to Liam and act spoiled, but upon hearing the word 'girlfriend,' she froze all over.She had not met Madam Fergerson yet, so the 'girlfriend' Madam Fergerson referred to certainly was not her.She looked at Liam suspiciously, but Liam’s only thought was to go to the hospital at that moment. He finally knew which 'girlfriend' the driver was referring to.It was Penny.He once had Penny pretend to be his girlfriend.However, he did not have time to explain.

    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

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.

    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.

    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
