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
Lucas hung up the phone and looked at Fred triumphantly.Fred still could not believe it."Did you find someone to pretend to be Penny? How could you know her?"Lucas wanted to hold his head up and tell Fred that he was her husband, but he knew it was a lie. He would be embarrassed if the truth was exposed, so he resisted showing off.Fred stared at Lucas, his attitude turning much better."If that’s the case, Lucas, I'll double your salary if you can persuade Penny not to make a fuss. You'll get 10,000 every month by then."Lucas had been working for the company for a few years now. He was capable although he was not as well educated as others. However, Fred had been all over him, so he had not had a salary increase since he joined.It was taboo to discuss the salary of colleagues in the workplace. Although he was not aware of how much others were getting paid, he knew that he must be the lowest-earning one.His colleague who often gossiped about Fred with him was already gett
Lucas's forehead was covered with sweat. He regretted boasting in front of his manager and the CEO before this. He would end up in a more difficult situation with Fred if he could not complete the task."Penny, I don't represent Bauer Builders. I’m following my boss’ order to come to you to inquire. Mr. Bauer is attending to other distinguished guests and doesn't have the time to meet you now. I volunteered to come talk to you as we know each other. I’m sorry for crossing a line."Lucas spoke sincerely, making his true intentions clear.He got up and went to the front desk to ask for tea and snacks. His attitude was great."I’ll bring you up when the CEO is ready in about half an hour."Penny just nodded with consideration that he was Mason's friend and Laura was romantically involved with Mason.She did not know what to talk about with Lucas, so she made use of the time and took out the laptop from her bag to update the original design draft.She knew that the natural lightin
Caleb turned his head, looking over. His gaze fell on Fred, who was blind drunk.He remembered Fred’s face as he was the one who berated Lucas at Bauer Builders last time.Fred had to be supported by his friends, but he kept on scolding Lucas."I wonder what kind of relationship he shares with Penny? Lucas even got her to help… He took away my position. The universe will get him sooner or later. I have other options after I leave Bauer Builders, I must… make him pay!"I think they’re...having an affair!"Caleb thought to himself, ‘Lucas took his position?’He remembered how he had bumped into Lucas and Penny at Bauer Builders in the morning. He smiled coldly.He thought to himself, ‘She’s helping her husband gain a firm foothold in the workplace. She sure has a lot to worry about. Nonetheless, it has nothing to do with me.’Caleb glanced at Fred, turned around, and walked into the bar.Fred had taken advantage of his friends tonight. He had never been to such a high-end bar be
Luna, who was sitting next to Charlotte, felt uncomfortable when she thought of Penny's face.She could not help but remind Charlotte quietly, "Charlotte, the designer that I mentioned is close to my cousin-in-law. I have a bad feeling about her. I think she’s trying to seduce Caleb. You have to be careful."Charlotte was initially a little worried that Caleb would be seduced by other women. However, she was confident in her status after what happened with the cufflinks last time. Nonetheless, she was not going to let the designer do whatever she wanted.She intended to show Penny her place but was in no rush. Charlotte had a gentle appearance. She sat next to a bunch of ladies and heard someone ask, "Today is Charlotte's welcome party. Isn't Caleb going to be here?"Charlotte smiled, tucked her hair, and stood up slowly."I called him just now, and he said he'll be here soon."As soon as she said that, Caleb and Winston opened the door and walked in.Winston held a small gift
Caleb looked up, his gaze falling on Jeremy.Jeremy seemed keen to talk about Charlotte.Caleb had a sharp intuition. He frowned as he could not figure out Jeremy’s intentions.It was made to seem like Jeremy was just joking, and he even helped stop others from toasting Caleb. Others in the room continued gossiping while Charlotte sat beside Caleb with a wide smile on her face. She realized something and thought to herself, ‘Everyone is here, so why not get Caleb's wife to come over so that I can put her in her place?’She was excited and texted Aurelia Bailey without a second thought.Charlotte had gotten into a bad fight with Aurelia. After all, Aurelia did not like the Shaws and did not allow her to date Caleb.However, things were different now. When Charlotte decided to return to Imperial City, Aurelia had already contacted her to tell her that she could marry Caleb once he was divorced if she was still interested.Aurelia's attitude had softened as she preferred Charlott
A few hours before Mark called Penny, he was leaving work to visit Zane.Zane had not been back to the office for some time, and Mark found out that he had been hospitalized a few times when the two spoke on the phone before.Mark was a little worried when Zane did not show up to work these past couple of days as well.Although there was a rift between him and the Sullivans because of what Penny said three years ago, Zane still kept him as an employee and provided him with the same benefits. Zane’s actions calmed Mark down.Mark headed to Zane's office to grab a document. In the past few days, Sunny Smith had been speaking on behalf of Zane, and Mark was somewhat annoyed with it.He thought to himself, ‘Who does Sunny think he is? He's been working for Zane for some time, but I came way before him. He’s just Zane’s assistant who’s in his 40s. Who is he to ride over my head?’There was no one on the top floor when he arrived. Mark saw that the door of the office was unlocked, so h
