Chapter 188 Misunderstood

Author: Twin Bridge
last update Last Updated: 2023-08-07 20:58:47
Lucas had decided not to discuss this matter anymore. Rather, he was more interested in the job Mason mentioned.

Four thousand?

Just to occasionally show up?

He swallowed nervously. He had actually considered trying to find a lady from a rich family, but unfortunately, he was not as attractive as Mason.

How would a wealthy woman see value in him?

“Is there really such a good opportunity, Mason?”

Mason sat down on the steps, stretched his long legs, and leaned back, looking relaxed.

His good looks were indeed extraordinary. Even Lucas, being a man, was envious to the point of seething jealousy. It was no wonder Mason managed to snag a princess from a diamond company.

Moreover, the Jennings only had Laura as their heir. She was the sole heiress. If Mason could really marry into her family, would he not inherit everything in the future?

“Really, you know how easily Laura can be fooled.”

When Mason said this, his narrow eyes squinted.

“But her friend seems harder to fool. You’d

    Penny’s work was going smoothly, and she had finished discussing things with the suppliers. She was just about to prepare to head to Union County tomorrow when suddenly, a few of her collaborating companies called. Their tones were hesitant.“Ms. Sullivan, we’re sorry, but we suddenly received notice that we can't process your order. Please find another company.”“But…”Penny wanted to ask for more details, but the caller hung up.She answered four calls in total, all of them canceling orders.Penny sat in place, her eyebrows furrowed.Previously, Jeremy was sabotaging her, which led to the failure of her collaboration with Sherman.

    No one was residing on the other side of this presidential suite anymore. It was now only occupied by the two of them.The overhead lighting highlighted Penny’s skin, making it especially fair with her eyes sparkling in the reflection. It was unclear how long she had been waiting here.“I have something to discuss with you, Mr. Fergerson. May I come in and sit for a while?”Caleb raised an eyebrow. The person who had painted his portrait was waiting for him at the entrance of his hotel room late at night. He squinted his eyes. He should decline.After all, he wanted to maintain a distance between them.Penny was worried that he would refuse, and the matter was not something she could explain in a short time. Madam Fergerson had quite a misunderstanding, and she needed to clarify it piece by piece.Caleb took his room card, swiped it, and opened the door.Penny followed him, the tip of her nose picking up the cold woody scent from him, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol.The

    She let out a cry before noticing the man’s head leaning against the couch. He seemed to have fallen asleep. Penny heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness he was not deliberately refusing to reply to her messages. It would have been so awkward if that were the case. Since he had fallen asleep, it seemed that she would not be able to achieve her goals for tonight. She got up and prepared to leave. When she caught sight of his agape collar, she hesitated before reaching for the blanket and placing it over him. Just as she bent over him, Caleb’s eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes opened. Their faces were extremely near, to the point they could feel the other's breaths landing on their faces. It was not Penny’s first time looking at his face from such a distance, but she was still stunned. Then, she felt a pair of warm lips meeting hers. Her eyes widened while the rest of her body stiffened. The pair of lips grew bolder and captured hers in a long kiss. Her heart felt like

    “Madam Fergerson, I can explain.” However, Amber retrieved her phone and made a call to Sir Fergerson. “Father, could you send me Caleb’s wife’s number? I need to contact her.” She had never met Caleb’s wife before this, but given the high praise Sir Fergerson had showered her with, she was confident his wife was an educated and well-mannered woman. Caleb’s wife deserved to know that there were women blatantly pestering him. Moreover, the fact Caleb himself had allowed Penny to use his office while waiting for him indicated he allowed her to do as she pleased. It was time she knocked some sense into Caleb’s mind. He was a married man, after all. If things escalated to the point where Sir Fergerson learned of it, the other members of the Fergerson family would probably stir up more trouble. If it were not for the fact Caleb himself had admitted to the night’s happenings, Amber would never have been able to imagine him engaging in drunken sex. Frankly, even if he were to

    “Take your jacket off!” It was the first time in years that Sir Fergerson had been so angry.Caleb knew that for the sake of Sir Fergerson’s health, he needed to unleash his anger in this very instance. Besides, he had no way of defending himself against the crime he was charged with. He had, in a way, betrayed the Penny they spoke of and had an affair. The butler took his suit jacket. All he had on now was a thin shirt. The whip made a loud crack when it slashed across his back. Sir Fergerson was extremely strong, thanks to his time in the army as a young man. He may have fallen ill now, but he still could wield the whip with plenty of vigor. Caleb’s brows furrowed together in pain. He felt the skin on his back split open.“I don’t care how many wild oats everyone else is sowing, but how could you betray Penny this way?! She’s such a wonderful girl. It’s such an insult to herself that she got together with you!” The whip slashed downward again and again!Soon, not a

    Amber caught up to him after they exited the Fergersons' residence, and she sighed. “I wasn’t expecting your grandfather to be so angry, Caleb. I’m sorry.” “It’s not your fault, Aunt Amber. This is between me and Penny.” The look on Amber’s face turned frosty again when she heard Penny’s name mentioned. “Don't blame me for sticking my nose into affairs either. Now that you’ve been whipped, it’ll be good to leave things in the past and cut ties so she doesn’t get dragged into further issues. I have no idea what your grandfather will do if he loses his temper again.” “I know what to do, Aunt Amber.” Amber knew she would get deemed annoying if she said anything else and fell silent. Caleb did not dare lean back against his seat after he got into the car.Sharp pains shot through his back. They were starting to become unbearable. Penny chose that moment to call him. “I’m at the hotel now, Mr. Fergerson. Will you be here tonight?” Caleb gripped the steering wheel with b

    Caleb’s brows furrowed together. His heart ached. It felt like a poisonous bug had taken a bite out of it. “What are you doing?” His voice jolted Penny back to her senses, and she began apologizing to him.“I’m sorry, I just…” She hurriedly opened the first aid kit and scanned through its contents, trying to determine if there was anything she could use.When she saw the surgical scissors, she heaved a sigh of relief and picked them up to cut his shirt apart. However, his wounds had adhered to his shirt, and the sight of it was enough to make her wince in pain. “Hang in there, Mr. Fergerson.” “Alright.” Caleb averted his gaze from the glass before him and stopped looking at her, choosing to close his eyes instead. Penny gritted her teeth and ripped the shirt apart. Caleb let out a groan. Penny acted quickly. When she was done removing the shirt, she began disinfecting the wounds, staunching the blood flow. She then applied the ointment. After that, she took the ba

    “An… an affair?” She would not have been surprised if any other man had said that. However, Caleb was famously known for remaining chaste for his first love. Who could he have had an affair with? Penny had obviously yet to connect the dots to herself. After all, she knew she was his wife, which meant their relationship was not an extramarital affair. Their relationship was recognized and supported by the law. Caleb could not help smiling when he saw the shocked look on her face. “Yes, an affair.” Penny did not have much interest in gossip, but if it involved her husband, she was more than happy to hear more. However, since Caleb was technically still one of her clients, she did not dare seem too eager—lest she upset him.“I’m curious what sort of woman could tempt you into doing this, Mr. Fergerson.”A thought occurred to her after she finished her sentence, and chills ran down her body. The woman he had an affair with… Could it be her?Had Caleb gotten whipped

    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

His lowered lashes cast a shadow.He stood up and heard Ethan say again, "Leave your phone."Sean chuckled.

    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.
