Susan’s legs turned into jelly when she got upstairs.She held onto the wall beside her so that she would not end up kneeling.She could not stand the torture anymore, so she immediately called Asher to tell him about what had happened.Asher was raving mad at Susan."What do you think you're doing?! I didn’t say anything when you kept Sunny around as your sugar baby, but how did you end up taking his words seriously?!"Susan felt regretful and replied, "Ash, what can I do now? Zane caught us messing around. If he wakes up, he’ll kick the three of us out."Asher was also ill at ease, but he had to admit that Sunny did the right thing.He thought to himself, ‘We’ve come so far. We mustn't let Zane wake up.’Nonetheless, he was still angry that Susan kept bringing Sunny to Sullivan Residence to mess around. Last time, Penny almost bumped into Sunny when she unexpectedly returned to the villa. He thought Susan would've learned her lesson and restrained herself, but it was not the
Penny was not aware of what was going on upstairs, so she waited quietly in the corridor until 11 o'clock. Upon getting up, she felt a little numb in her legs.She said a few words to the nurse before she left. She dragged her tired body to the car park and drove to the hotel.Penny got out of the elevator on the top floor when the elevator next to hers opened. Caleb stepped out of it.He wore a suit, and his hands were casually tidying up his cuff buttons.Sebastian was not behind him; he came back by himself.Blinking her eyes, Penny called out to him, "Mr. Fergerson."The elevator doors behind the two closed at the same time and slowly descended to the lower floors.The floor was quiet, so they could hear the sound of the elevators descending.Caleb walked to his room before Penny could react.Penny's side was closer, so he inevitably passed by her.She caught a hint of the perfume scent on him.She thought to herself, ‘It’s a woman’s scent. Did he just come back from a d
Soon enough, everyone knew about Charlotte's return. Those who knew about Caleb and her past began to bet on when Caleb would divorce and be with Charlotte.Jeremy sat at the bar with a few of his friends. Everyone was in the same social circle, so they were the first to hear about the news.The Shaws were an ordinary well-to-do family and were far from being considered rich.However, Charlotte made it into Imperial City's socialite circle because of her relationship with Caleb."When do you think Charlotte will marry into the Fergersons?"Someone started gossiping, and everyone at the scene chimed in immediately."She’s his first love, so I reckon they’ll get married in less than a month. I’m sure Caleb's nominal wife is ugly. Otherwise, why has never appeared at the Fergersons' banquets? When Caleb returned to the country, she didn’t even show up to the celebration.""Who at the scene knows her? She hasn't dared to show her face in the past three years. It seems like she’s a s
Penny slept for hours but woke up from the jabbing pain in her lower abdomen.She was shivering and could not see things clearly.Penny knew that she must be menstruating.She had been overwhelmed with work. On top of that, she slept with wet clothes when she was in Union County, which made it extraordinarily worse.The pain made her want to vomit, but the hotel was booked so last minute that she did not bring anything but a change of clothes.Face pale, she dialed for the front desk of the hotel with her trembling fingers. She prayed that someone would be able to bring her what she needed.It was six o'clock in the morning. Thankfully, the hotel had great service, and the sanitary napkins she needed were delivered to her room quickly.Penny dragged her exhausted body to open the door. The room attendant noticed that her face was as white as paper, so he asked with concern, "Miss, do you need some medicine?"Penny was used to dysmenorrhea and would usually prepare medicine to t
She was rolled into a ball on the bed, and he could only see her smooth hair.The bedside lamp was on, making the room's atmosphere feel warm.Caleb did not go straight in but knocked twice on the door.The person in the room did not respond, so he just walked over."Penny?"The structure of her room was the same as his, but the interior design was different.He turned on the lights in the room, only to see Penny's furrowed brows. He assumed it was because of the dazzling light.Caleb wanted to put his hand on her forehead, but Penny opened her eyes before he made contact.Her face was still pale, but her spirits had improved. There was a look of surprise in her eyes when she saw Caleb beside her bed."Mr. Fergerson?"Taking his hadn back, Caleb calmly placed it to the side."Are you sick?"Penny had a mild fever when she was in Union County. Her menstrual cycle this time was much heavier than usual. She took three ibuprofen at noon without even thinking about how it might
Her mind was blank, and she did not even notice when Caleb left.The door closed in front of her, leaving only some traces of his cool aura in the air.Penny looked like a zombie as she looked down at her nightgown.The fabric was thin, almost transparent under the light.Her protruding nipples seemed to be the greatest seduction.She hurried back to the bedroom to put on her coat, but the heat on her body still could not drop.Penny was abashed.She thought to herself, 'It's no wonder Caleb would think so. Which woman would wear a nightgown while holding a casual conversation with him? I even got up to send him off…’She covered her face, thinking of the exact words that Caleb said.'I've been wondering if you’re trying to seduce me.'She thought to herself, ‘He said that he had been wondering…’Penny thought of what happened at Union County, where she applied medicine for him when she was covered in nothing but a bath towel.She knew that any ordinary man would have made
Zane had been transferred to the general ward. However, he still had to wear an oxygen mask and had not woken up.The wound on his head had been wrapped in gauze, and he was so haggard that it seemed as though he had aged more than ten years.Penny asked the doctor nearby, "When will my dad wake up?""Ms. Sullivan, Mr. Sullivan wasn’t doing the best to begin with. This round, he walked through the gates of hell, and his body is fighting hard. I can’t tell you for certain when he’ll wake up. It may be today or it may be a month from now."Penny teared up.Susan was restless after she heard that Zane had been transferred to the general ward.She was at the Sullivan Corporation office building. She immediately looked for Sunny and said in a panicked tone, "What should we do? Out of nowhere, that bitch got two bodyguards to stand guard at the intensive care unit. I don't have a chance to make a move."Sunny did not look too well. He did not expect Zane to make it through."Suzi, do
Penny rubbed the space between her brows, saying, "I'll go to Bauer Builders to talk to your senior management right now. I hope that this is a one-off mistake ."The foreman quickly patted his chest to assure her.Penny was not in the mood to speak further with them, so she drove to Bauer Builders.Bauer Builders’s CEO, Mr. Bauer, had also been notified of the situation and was feeling uneasy.After all, Penny was the interior designer hand-picked by Caleb, and Bauer Builders won the project to develop Union County because of their relationship. If Penny was not satisfied with their work, he was worried that the Union County project would also be canceled.Mr. Bauer was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat. He could not help but complain to the people around him, "What was the worker thinking?! How could he make such a mistake?! If Mr. Fergerson finds out, he may think that our construction team is unprofessional!""Mr. Bauer, that worker has been with us for quit
