“Where did Penny go? Tell her to come down to see me now!”Aurelia was truly angry tonight, and her expression was stern.If something happened to Caleb, Penny would never be able to compensate for the damages!Lucy was somewhat afraid of Aurelia. This woman could sometimes be unreasonable and showed no courtesy to Ms. Sullivan.“Ms. Bailey, Ms. Sullivan is out.”Upon hearing this, Aurelia’s anger intensified.“She’s outside even after being married. Who knows if she’s meeting other men? What time is it? It's almost 11! What could she be busy with all day? Caleb hasn’t been home for three years. Who knows if she has done something to go against the Fergersons? If it comes to that, I’ll make sure the Sullivans pay!”Lucy swallowed, fearing Aurelia might blame Penny for Mr. Fergerson’s allergy. Mr. Fergerson had an allergic reaction outside and then returned to Dawn Haven Villa, so it obviously had nothing to do with Dawn Haven Villa.“Ms. Bailey, Ms. Sullivan’s dog hasn’t been h
Aurelia had initially thought of introducing Caleb to other ladies from Imperial City. However, he still accompanied Charlotte to the vet knowing he was allergic to dog fur. It seemed he could not let go of the bond they shared from growing up together.However, how did Penny come to know that Caleb went to the vet with Charlotte?Could that despicable woman be following Caleb?A frown formed on Aurelia’s face as she sent Penny a message.[Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Stay away from Caleb. The two of you will eventually divorce. Even if you throw yourself at him, Caleb won’t want you.]Those words were quite harsh.Penny’s face darkened when she saw the message.[Rest assured, Ms. Bailey. I’ll definitely stay far away from Mr. Fergerson.]Aurelia scoffed, thinking it better be true, or she would not go easy on the Sullivans!An hour later, when Nani’s anesthesia wore off, the doctor advised Penny.“This is for the wound. Make sure to apply it three times a day.
“Ms. Castillo.”Penny’s gaze sharply pierced the other person.“I’ve been holding back on account of that medicine you once gave me.”Belle’s face looked very unpleasant, and she sneered coldly.“Why don’t you say that in front of June, Penny? Since you flirted with someone else’s man, don’t blame her for coming after you. You should also join the homeowners’ group chat. Go take a look at how the residents in this building are cursing you.”Homeowners’ group chat?Penny had not joined that yet.However, with June causing such a scene, it was likely everyone knew by now. This society was already hard on women. No one wanted to hear her side of the story. Everyone just wanted to be entertained.When one person called her a loose woman, maybe not everyone would believe it.However, when two or three more followed suit, then everyone would.These residents would likely cause her trouble later on.After all, this area was known as a zone for the newly rich. Having a woman with su
Caleb had a slight fever today, but the rash on his body had already disappeared.His face was extremely cold. Belle, standing next to him, was still waiting for his response.Caleb did not say anything and simply walked forward. He entered the elevator.Belle felt a bit embarrassed and quickly returned to her workstation.Inside the elevator, Sebastian noticed that Caleb’s cheeks were still a bit red from the fever and quickly said, “Mr. Fergerson, perhaps you should go back and rest a bit more.”Caleb had been feverish all night. At this moment, he seemed somewhat exhausted. He rubbed his temples, unable to resist the weariness.“If Penny calls me later, handle the matter regarding The Rosarium.”This meeting was set to last for a while, and Sebastian would not be attending it. He would be waiting outside instead. Caleb’s phone would be left in his office. Even if he took it in, it would be on silent mode because this overseas acquisition meeting was crucial.Fergerson Corp
She had placed her hopes on June to continue causing trouble for Penny. Yet, it had only taken a day for June to get caught.Belle read Penny’s message in the group chat again and shuddered when she read that it was Penny who had filed the report on the karaoke club. Why did that woman know about the karaoke club?Only those who had visited the karaoke club before would have known about the shady business deals that went on inside. Belle narrowed her eyes. If Penny was such a flirt, did that mean she had worked as a hostess at karaoke clubs before? The corner of her lip tugged upward into a sneer. Coincidentally, Charlotte would also be at Fergerson Corporation today because she had sorted things out with Caleb. The two would work on repairing their relationship, which required them to display their sincerity in doing so. Belle’s eyes lit up when she noticed Charlotte’s arrival. Plenty of women dropped by Fergerson Corporation to meet Caleb every day. They were usually in
“Alright, Aunt Aurelia. I’ll drop by with Caleb once his meeting ends.” When Charlotte hung up the phone, a gleeful glint appeared in her eyes. Sebastian, who had been standing outside, did not stop Charlotte from picking up Caleb’s phone. If things went smoothly, there was a high chance she would become the CEO’s wife. Why should he, a mere assistant, bring himself more trouble when even the CEO himself did not mind? Charlotte left the office and headed to the pantry.Belle was diligently preparing coffee in the pantry, and an eager look appeared in her eyes when she saw Charlotte entering. Charlotte stood before her and ensured they were the only ones in the pantry before she spoke. “What were you going to say about Caleb and Penny when you were downstairs?” Belle’s hands shook, playing the look of panic to perfection. Charlotte’s gaze landed on her. “You should know that I'll be Caleb’s wife in the future, and I can make you lose your job by just speaking to him.”
She did not reply and instead pretended she had not seen that text. When she arrived at the veterinary, she saw the same cat she had seen yesterday. It was probably here for a follow-up examination. However, Charlotte was not here today. The cat was instead accompanied by the domestic helper who had also been present last night. Five red marks in the shape of a handprint could still be seen on her face, which showed how hard Charlotte had slapped her last night. The domestic helper retrieved the cat from its cage and handed it to the vet. After the vet took the cat into his arms and walked past Penny, she could not help but sigh in admiration at how gorgeous that cat was. It was the most beautiful Ragdoll cat she had ever seen. Its eyes were as blue as the ocean, and it had a coat so fluffy no one could resist petting it.However, she reminded herself that this cat belonged to Charlotte and stopped herself from touching it. Instead, she went to check on Nani. Nani was in
Charlotte sneered. “I’m going to have dinner with Caleb now. You!” She pointed at the domestic helper and spoke to her coldly. “Call me once the two hours are up. I’ll take care of her myself if she hasn’t found the cat by then!” Charlotte turned and returned to the luxury car after finishing her sentence. Penny immediately turned to the domestic helper after Charlotte left. The domestic helper had not expected to fool Charlotte this easily, and she was still caught in the throes of her sheepishness. However, she did not forget to remind Penny. “You should hurry up and start looking.” Penny found the whole thing amusing. Did everyone think she would allow herself to be bullied relentlessly? She ignored the domestic helper and got into her car. Charlotte had driven away toward Dawn Haven Villa just now. Since she had said she was having dinner with Caleb and Aurelia had messaged her out of the blue, it was evident Aurelia wanted Charlotte to assert her dominance over h
