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
Penny felt her mind go empty as if she was dreaming.40 minutes ago, she received a test from Uncle Mark, but now she was learning the news of his death.The bar was quickly fenced off. Unfortunately, the surveillance cameras in the bar happened to be broken, and the police only saw footage of Mark entering the hotel lobby.The police asked around and could only conclude that Mark drank to relieve his sorrows but it resulted in alcohol poisoning. Homicide was temporarily ruled out.The sanitation and disinfection of a bar like this were not great as there were thousands of fingerprints in the room. The fingerprints were covered with more fingerprints, and a lot of them were unclear. It would take some time even if they checked them one by one. There was no other way except to issue a fine to the bar for not having proper security measures in place.Penny stood in the hospital corridor, unsure how to digest the news of Mark’s death.Mark's family members arrived soon enough, and t
Caleb’s hand paused, and his gaze involuntarily shifted toward the window. The person standing by the roadside was indeed Penny.Penny’s eyebrows were furrowed, and she was seemingly on the phone with someone. It was evident that she had encountered some trouble.Behind her, the bar was surrounded by quite a few people. There were even police officers weaving in and out, occasionally stopping those trying to take pictures.The bar had been cordoned off.Caleb then asked Sebastian, “What happened to that bar?”Sebastian was not expecting him to ask that and quickly made a phone call to find out.A minute later, he hung up the phone and replied to Caleb.“Sir, a death took place here. Someone died of alcohol poisoning on the spot.”Even so, what did this have to do with Penny? Why was she here in the middle of the night?Winston had been sitting next to Caleb the entire time. He noticed that Caleb stopped working and looked out the window the moment he heard the name Penny.At
Caleb’s gaze had changed; it no longer remained indifferent but seemed as if it was ignited with intense flames.However, he was Caleb Fergerson, someone even more restrained and patient than ordinary people.Thus, he just continued staring at the laptop screen, attempting to brush away those captivating thoughts.After all, she was a married woman.…Penny had made several consecutive calls to the hospital, but the conclusion remained consistent—it was alcohol poisoning.The police had started their investigation, but since the surveillance footage had been destroyed, they cautioned Mark’s family to prepare for the worst.Yet, Penny still had a gut feeling.Mark’s death surely had something to do with what he wanted to tell her.She first visited Mark’s wife. Although Mark had always been stern and rigid, he maintained a good relationship with his wife over the years. He was always family-oriented.Penny had met her before, but after Mark stopped interacting with her, their
In the next second, Penny pulled out a bottle of pepper spray and forcefully sprayed it into his eyes!“What is this?!”Asher only felt a burning sensation in his eyes, and they stung so badly that he could not open them. Tears streamed down continuously.Having known Asher’s dirty intentions for quite some time, Penny made sure to come to the company prepared.Now breaking free, she immediately grabbed a chair nearby and hurled it at Asher without hesitation.Asher cried out in pain and fell to the side, but he did not pass out.Still infuriated, Penny delivered a kick to his most vulnerable spot.Asher's scream grew even louder. The pain was so intense that his face turned pale. He curled up, his entire body drenched in cold sweat.Though he wished to faint, the immense pain kept him painfully awake.Outside the room, Susan hurriedly opened the door and walked in. Upon seeing Asher writhing on the ground, her pupils shrank.“Damn it! Penny, what did you do to Ash?!"Penny
Susan had never imagined that her son would one day lose his ability to reproduce. If that was the case, which woman would be willing to marry him?That part of his had been rendered useless!This was all Penny’s fault!Penny had caused her daughter to be constantly plagued by illness and her son to be sterile. She was determined to take revenge on Penny!“Ash…”Susan originally wanted to comfort him, but how could one console someone over such a thing? For a man, it was a devastating blow.Asher clenched his fists tightly, his face pale as paper as if the pain from that moment still haunted him.Thinking about it now, his back was covered in a cold sweat.He pursed his lips tightly, and all he could think of was Penny. He thought of hundreds of ways to deal with her!Seeing the look on Asher’s face, Susan was filled with fear. He looked like a predator that had fixed its gaze on its prey.“Mom, I want to kill her! I want to torment that wretch!”How could Susan dare to refu
When Penny arrived downstairs of Fergerson Corporation, she had just walked into the lobby when she passed by the reception desk and noticed that Belle was on duty that day.As soon as Belle saw her, anger filled her pretty face. She snorted and continued to show off to her colleague beside her.“Yes, it was bought for me by Liam, and it's over a hundred grand. I can buy a car with that money. It’s just such a pity for me.”Ever since Belle got involved with Liam, all her colleagues had come to know about it. At that moment, they all envied her like crazy.Being chosen as a receptionist, especially for Fergerson Corporation, meant every single one of them was good-looking. Many harbored the hope of getting involved with someone from the higher echelons of Fergerson Corporation. Yet none could do it like Belle, who directly snagged the cousin of Fergerson Corporation’s CEO. If they did not end up breaking up, she would be marrying into a wealthy family in the future.Moreover, Liam
Penny hurriedly stepped forward with a businesslike demeanor.“Mr. Fergerson, you've previously seen the original design, but there has been a minor change on the construction side recently. I thought of modifying this particular area.”She lightly tapped on the spot where the original pillar stood with her fair fingertips. She was not looking at Charlotte but rather, intently examining her own design.Charlotte’s eyes narrowed the moment Penny appeared.Was this the designer that Lulu mentioned?She was indeed very beautiful. It seemed like some confrontation would be necessary.Charlotte could not resist reaching out to grasp Caleb’s hand, but just at that moment, Caleb reached out to take Penny’s blueprint.Charlotte was left grasping at the air, feeling a bit embarrassed. She resentfully glared at Penny.Penny paid her no mind, simply quietly waiting for Caleb to speak.With one hand holding the blueprint and the other resting on the black office desk, the pale hue of Cale
