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
Charlotte furrowed her eyebrows together as she glanced at Lucy. “I’ve been sitting here for quite a while now. Why haven’t you brought me any tea? Is there no hot water available at Dawn Haven Villa today?” She was critiquing Lucy for not doing her job well.Lucy instinctively turned to look at Caleb, whose arm was still linked with Charlotte’s. His complexion was still pale because of his recurring fever, but that did not affect his air of regality. After they sat down, Charlotte immediately sidled up to his side. Lucy was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She surreptitiously texted Penny when she went to the kitchen to make some tea. [You should drop by Dawn Haven Villa, Ms. Sullivan. Mr. Fergerson brought a woman home with him, and the two seem intimate.]Penny had returned to The Rosarium when she received that text. She had no interest in what was happening at Dawn Haven Villa. Lucy prepared a pot of tea and brought it to the coffee table. The corners
Sir Fergerson walked to the couch and sat down. Lucy gleefully served him a cup of tea. Sir Fergerson took the cup from her and slowly raised it to his lips, using the saucer to catch any drips. His voice sounded full of vigor when he spoke. “Ms. Shaw, I’m sure you know Caleb is married, don’t you? The Dawn Haven Villa is a gift from me to Penny, yet you seem to be in a rush to claim it as your own. Has the Shaw family not taught you any manners?”“Grandpa Fergerson, I…” “Shut up. Do not address me as 'Grandpa'!”Sir Fergerson put his tea down and directed his piercing gaze at her. “Call your parents right now. I want the Shaw family to drive to the Dawn Haven Villa and pick you up from here. Your parents don’t seem to have taught you not to be a mistress, so I’ll teach you that lesson tonight.” Tears welled in Charlotte’s eyes before they dripped down her cheeks.Caleb’s eyebrows furrowed themselves together as he sat and watched. “Grandpa, Charlotte’s just here as a
Sir Fergerson clutched his chest in pain when he finished speaking. Caleb immediately turned back around and hurriedly put a supportive arm around him. “Grandpa, don’t be angry. I’ll call her.” He helped Sir Fergerson to the couch, where he received a glare from him. “Don’t think I have no idea why you started dating Charlotte Shaw. It’s because of what happened with your brother.” Caleb patted Sir Fergerson’s back gently instead of replying. “Are you feeling better, Grandpa?” Sir Fergerson drew in a deep breath.“If you really want what’s best for me, you’d stop making me angry. I chose Penny as your wife after careful consideration, and you’ll realize she’s a wonderful girl if you take the time to get to know her.”Caleb’s response to this was also silence. He did not care how much Penny deserved to be loved. Sir Fergerson shoved Caleb’s hand aside once he caught his breath again. “Call Penny. If I ever hear of you doing something this ridiculous again, you won’t
Penny slept soundly that night and was in much better spirits when she woke up. She turned her phone back on when she woke up.The screen indicated she had missed a call from Caleb, who had called her private number. She frowned. Had Sir Fergerson punished him again?While she got ready for the day, she sent him a text message. [Is something wrong?]Caleb had arrived at Fergerson Corporation. When he read the blunt, three-word text that only arrived after a whole night, her aloof attitude aggravated him even more than the dramatic showdown that had happened in Dawn Haven Villa last night. However, he would not lose control of his emotions over a woman. He deleted the text message. Since Sir Fergerson was not holding this over him, there was no need for him to be in contact with this woman either.Penny was not expecting a reply from Caleb either. After all, he must only have called her on her private cell because of Sir Fergerson. After getting ready for the day, Pe
