However, the reality was that Penny merely took a glance at the two who were hugging and kissing before she turned her head around awkwardly."Mr. Fergerson, sorry you had to see that."Penny thought to herself, ‘They’re kissing like nobody is around them. It’s so cringeworthy.’Penny was not a fan of public displays of affection. She had not been intimate with anyone except for that one night with Caleb. As such, she felt awkward being around the couple.The woman was sitting in Lucas' lap, completely blocking Lucas from Penny’s view. All Penny could see was the woman's back, the man's hands around her waist, and the man's top half.That was why she did not recognize Lucas.Caleb was ready for Penny to tear ‘the mistress’ a new one, so he was taken aback by her response.He looked at Penny.Penny was a little puzzled as she could feel that something was up with Caleb from how he was looking at her. She thought to herself, ‘He’s looking at me as though he’s feeling distressed
She found a random spot to sit down and rubbed between her brows.‘I could spend the night at The Rosarium…It doesn’t matter where I sleep tonight since I'm going to Union County tomorrow. There’s no point for me to go back to Dawn Haven Villa as I’ll have to hide from Caleb.’Penny took a taxi, returned to The Rosarium, and took a comfortable bath. She was just about to rest when there was a loud knock on the door.She frowned, walked to the door, and saw the woman who had previously caused a fuss with Nathan Easton.The woman did not wear any makeup, but her thick dark eyebrows and eyeliner stood out. Penny assumed that they were tattooed and found them weird."Bitch! Open the door right now!"The woman slammed the door vigorously as though she wanted to break in.The quality of the door was superb, so all she was doing was disturbing the neighbors.The woman kept banging on the door and woke Belle Castillo, who lived opposite Penny.Belle wore her pajamas and could sense th
Penny was not aware that he had the video, so she started making up an excuse.[Yeah, my neighbors are renovating their place in the middle of the night. I’ve complained about it, but the management office cannot mediate the situation.]Caleb thought to himself, ‘Renovation?’He knew that she acted tough in front of others, but he did not expect her to be so good at telling lies.His eyes narrowed, but he did not expose her.He did not ask where she was going either.Penny did not receive a reply, but she was not at all disappointed.The woman continued slamming on the door until the middle of the night and finally accepted that Penny would not open the door, so she left cursing.Only then did Penny put down the documents in her hand and fall asleep.The next morning, she prepared a simple breakfast and packed some clothing. To her surprise, the woman persevered and continued knocking on her door.Penny frowned. She already had two conflicts with that woman and knew that she
He saw Susan lying on the ground when he rushed over."Dear!"He yelled and hurried over to help Susan up.Willow learned that Susan had fainted and came downstairs. She was frightened, stood still with her face all pale, and trembled.Zane was overwhelmed. He saw Sunny, who was just standing beside him, and yelled, "Call 911 now. Take her to the hospital with me!""What about the share transfer...""What’s more important?! We can talk about this later!"A smile flickered across Sunny's eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. He hurried over to support Susan."Mr. Sullivan, I understand. Don't worry, I've already called 911."The two sent Susan and Willow to the hospital, and no one mentioned the transfer of shares.Susan, who was faking it, was overjoyed when she heard what Zane said.The doctor examined her and found nothing wrong. The doctor said, "It may be that she’s too tired and has been worrying too much. She just needs to rest more."Willow was a fre
"Penny, get in. You shouldn’t sit there."Penny did not want to argue with him as she knew that she would be talking to a brick wall no matter how hard she tried.She got up and got in the car. Zane then apologized to her."I’m sorry for what happened last night. I didn't expect Sherman to try that on you."Penny bit her lip and replied, "Is that it, Dad? Shouldn’t Susan apologize to me for saying what she said?"A look of embarrassment appeared on Zane's face."Susan fainted just now, and the doctor said that it's because she’s been overthinking. I know that you don’t have a good relationship with her. If I ask her to apologize to you, I'm afraid she might faint again."Penny closed her eyes and said nothing.Zane knew that Susan had gone too far, so he took out a credit card from his bag."There's 10 million in this card. Feel free to spend it as you please."Penny did not answer as if she did not hear him.Zane felt a little embarrassed. He did not know what else to do.
Caleb took a deep breath, and chills ran down his angular face.Lucy sensed that the two of them were at odds and followed behind them almost tremblingly."Sir Fergerson, Ms. Sullivan has a fever. She fell asleep after taking medicine."Sir Fergerson ordered her to open the door of Penny's room.Lucy had no choice but to open it and stood aside respectfully.Sir Fergerson glared at Caleb before he said, "Aren’t you going in and taking a look? Were you lying to me when you said you were trying for a child?"Caleb's brows were twitching. Sir Fergerson received a call and demanded that Caleb follow him to Dawn Haven Villa.He stepped into the room where Penny was, but the door behind him closed before he could say anything!Caleb's mood turned completely dark, his gaze as cold as ice.Sir Fergerson ordered Lucy to lock the door, and she quickly took action.Sir Fergerson said through the door, "Caleb, take good care of Penny. I believe that you two are sleeping in separate rooms
Upstairs, Caleb felt slightly hot, and even after undoing a few buttons, he still felt uncomfortably warm.This sensation was familiar to him, and even the wounds on his back began to burn painfully.He recalled the tea he had drunk earlier with Sir Fergerson, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He felt a burning sensation all over.He stood up, walked to the bathroom, and splashed cold water on his face.Yet, the overwhelming heat did not subside.Glancing up, he looked at the mirror in front of him.Then, inside the bathroom, he detected a familiar fragrance. It was not unpleasant and was different from the perfume the woman at the hotel wore.Caleb was a bit obsessive about cleanliness and would never share a bathroom with anyone as he considered it unclean.However, he did not feel any discomfort now. It was just that his body was getting hotter and hotter.Grandpa’s moves were unpredictable this time. Probably because of the punishment he had given, Grandpa no longer
Late at night, Penny saw that the IV had finished and pulled out the needle.However, just as she stood up, Caleb woke up and looked at her.“Mr. Fergerson, you’re awake?”Caleb’s voice was a bit hoarse. He glanced at the ceiling and rubbed his temples.“The hospital?”“Yes, Mr. Fergerson. You had a fever.”“Why are you here?”“My relative is also hospitalized here. I happened to run into you. Are you feeling better now?”Caleb’s back was hurting, but the effect of the medication had worn off, and he no longer felt the intense heat.He let out a slight sigh of relief. Thinking about Grandpa’s recent actions, his face turned completely dark.Using Fergerson Corporation’s work as a shield was not going to work anymore. Grandpa was determined to have that woman give birth to a child.He scoffed.Hearing his scoff, Penny knew that Grandpa Fergerson had truly angered him.She saw Caleb pick up his phone and call Sebastian.“Check if the Sullivans contacted Sir Fergerson today.
