last update Last Updated: 2023-08-14 20:08:00
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.

    The room was very quiet. After Caleb spoke, he heard Penny sincerely reply, “Mr. Fergerson, thank you.”At least without knowing she was the wife he despised, he still held her in high regard.This marriage arrangement was unnecessary for both of them. They each had their own difficulties, and there was no need to blame either one.The Sullivans had taken advantage of this. If she still expected Caleb to respect her as his wife, on what grounds would that be?She could not possibly expect to get all the benefits in the world.Caleb remained silent and slowly closed his eyes.Penny realized he wanted to rest and remained quiet.It was six in the morning.Caleb heard Sebastian’s voice.“Ms. Penny, here’s your breakfast. Thank you for staying with Mr. Fergerson all night.”“There’s no need to thank me. Now that you’re here, I’ll take my leave.”“Alright. I’ll be sure to personally thank you another day.”The door to the ward was gently closed, and only then did Caleb open his

    Zane was shaking all over, so angry that he almost could not catch his breath!“How could you slander Susan like that and slander Willow in the same way?!”Penny took a deep breath and dialed the ambulance on her phone.“Dad, maybe you should go to the hospital and rest there for a while. You don't have any work to deal with in the company right now, so take it as a break for yourself.”Zane looked at his daughter and felt a pang of regret upon seeing her disheveled hair.He sighed.“Even if I were to step back from the forefront, I’d only feel at peace after handing the company over to you. I plan to give you some shares and let you temporarily take my place in the company. Your current job overlaps with Sherman’s, and he’s been tough on you because of that. Penny, you're capable. If you agree to join the company, I can rest and recuperate with peace of mind.”He would rather give it to his daughter than to someone else.Others might oppose him, but he knew his daughter well.

    “Penny, did you really think that just by getting into his bed, he'd see you in a better light? Men won’t turn down women who offer themselves so cheaply. Sooner or later, he’ll dump you.”Penny had already stepped on the accelerator. She gave her a smile.“Before he dumps me, all you can do is drool enviously from the sidelines anyway.”Willow’s chest was shaking with anger. She almost passed out.Damn it!Damn this!Penny glanced at her through the rearview mirror, her expression indifferent.It was impossible to stay in Imperial City any longer. She should head to Union County now and settle the matter of Jade Sandalwood Flooring as soon as possible. This way, she would have a proper explanation for Caleb.She bought a cup of coffee from a roadside stall to prevent herself from getting too tired and falling asleep while driving.After finishing the whole cup and ensuring she was not sleepy, she drove straight to Union County.Meanwhile, Caleb was also on his way to Union C

    “Aunt Sue, why are you still out so late? Didn’t Nathan already come home? Why isn’t he helping you?”Otherwise, she would not have been bullied by a middle-aged man.Sue’s cheeks were a bit red, and she quickly grabbed Penny’s hand.“Penny, come home with me. Your room is still there. We’re truly grateful for what you did the last time, and you even got Nate to come back.”She did not answer Penny's question.Penny sighed. Seeing her pushing that pile of fruits, it would be tough for her to go back alone.She quickly went behind to help push.“Did Nathan reconcile with Jenni after he went home?”“No, they had a big fight, but it's Nate’s fault. He was asked to write a reflective essay. I think Jenni is planning to forgive him.”Penny remained silent. As they were passing the courtyard with the cart, she happened to see Caleb on the steps.At that moment, Caleb was not in a suit but wearing a white shirt. He was talking to Sebastian beside him.The two had only arrived a sho

    After all, in this business deal, there was the aspect of fruits.Caleb chuckled softly. “It looks pretty good. It should be sweet.”“Of course, everyone loves these oranges. They’re the best sellers during festivals.”A group of people started walking into the distance.Sebastian, who was following behind Caleb, remained silent. After all, Mr. Fergerson did not like this kind of fruit. Even in Imperial City, the fruits he ate were specially air-freighted from abroad.…Penny was pushing the small cart for Sue. When they were almost home, Sue could not hold back.“Penny, if you know that big boss, did I embarrass you in front of him by letting you push my cart?”This small cart, being so simple and something used to sell fruits, made Jenni often say she was too old to be making a public spectacle of herself.Whenever Sue was out making small change outside, Jenni would not even walk past her with friends.Only now did Sue realize it and feel sorry for Penny.“Sue, what’s so

    “Penny, rest assured, I won’t do that again; it’s not worth it.”Penny nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, “Do any of you know the owner of Jade Sandalwood Flooring?”Leo’s current job was quite respectable and could be considered a career. Despite the low salary, he knew many people.“I’ll ask around for you later. Once I have an answer, I’ll send you a message.”Only then did Penny feel relieved and return to the hotel.She originally planned to take a bath and go to sleep.However, after her bath, she saw a large black bug on the bed. She did not dare to lie down on it anymore. She put on her clothes and made do by sleeping in a chair for the night. She ended up with a sore neck.The next morning, when she woke up, Leo had sent her a message saying that Lewis and the others were planning to go to Jade Sandalwood Flooring that evening.[I’ve informed Lewis.

    As Caleb’s facial expression was very serious and he was flipping through some documents, Penny did not dare to disturb him. They remained silent until they reached their destination.Lewis approached the car and thanked Caleb before pointing to a mansion in the distance.“That’s where you’ll find the person you’re looking for. We’ll take Mr. Fergerson around for a tour down there. I’ve done the task your uncle assigned me. Go ahead now.”Penny turned around and thanked Caleb, then thanked Lewis. She then quickly headed toward the mansion.However, after taking a few steps forward, she heard Caleb’s voice.“If you’re rejected, just mention my name.”Penny was surprised. Could it be that the boss had connections with Caleb?If so, things would be much easier.A smile instantly appeared on her face, and her eyes brightened.“Thank you, Mr. Fergerson.”The midday sun was somewhat harsh, shining brightly on her and making her look dazzling in Caleb’s eyes.He averted his gaze an

    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

    Ethan patted her head and then noticed Sean's gaze shifting toward them."Sean?"Sean leaned back and remained silent, merely twirling his phone between his thumb and forefinger. His lowered lashes cast a shadow.He stood up and heard Ethan say again, "Leave your phone."Sean chuckled. "Ethan, you're being too serious right now."He left his phone behind and went upstairs.Khloe continued to sway Ethan's shoulders."Ethan, I had Wind take action against Penny tonight. 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.
