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
Luna was great at doing stuff like that.“Don’t worry, Charlotte. I’ll complete my mission and make sure that woman is humiliated.”Charlotte sneered. That woman had always been humiliated, and now, she would never be seen in the open anymore.Luna immediately carried out the task she had been given. Soon, rumors spread in the various group chats she was a part of. [Caleb’s marriage partner spends each night with a different person, and I heard that Caleb simply pretends she does not exist.][Really? Doesn’t Sir Fergerson even intervene? I thought he was the one who chose her to be Caleb’s wife.][Hah, Sir Fergerson just tolerates her because she saved his life. There’s no way he would just sit back and watch his grandson get treated this way. I bet they’re already discussing how much money they should give that woman so they can banish her from the Fergerson family.][You’re right. A woman like her is no match for Charlotte Shaw. No wonder Caleb’s never left her side ever si
Laura left. Penny walked behind the two lawyers, her mind filled with thoughts about her father, Zane Sullivan. He was still unconscious, and no one knew when he would wake up. She followed the lawyers to a nearby park that was quiet and well-suited for discussions. When she sat down, she caught sight of Jade, who was sketching in the park. Jade also noticed her and immediately strode toward her. “Penny! It’s been so long!”Penny smiled as she nodded and acknowledged her presence. “Are you here to sketch again?” Jade sighed. “That’s right. Gosh, I was going to visit my cousin, but he’s been so busy that he can’t even spare me a glance.” Jade’s eyebrows knitted together when she saw the two men standing nearby. Why did she feel like she had seen them somewhere else before this? “Penny, you go ahead and do what you need to do. I’ll be nearby sketching. Can you let me know once you’ve got a minute to spare? I have a favor to ask, and I’ll treat you to a meal. Would th
Asher's mouth was filled with the metallic taste of blood. The thought of Penny's captivating face and alluring figure turned him on.However, an unwelcome limpness had replaced hardness in that certain spot. It created a stark contrast that left him seething with frustration. In a surge of anger, he let out a roar and sent everything on the table onto the floor.He was at Sullivan Residence, so Willow was alerted by the commotion and entered his room."Ash, are you okay?"Asher responded with a cynical smile, his eyes gleaming with a cold and calculated intensity."I must have Penny! I'll humiliate her to death using all sorts of tools! That’s the only way I'll find solace."Willow's eyes sparkled with intrigue. Asher desired Penny just as she yearned for Caleb. She thought to herself, ‘We can work together to make things happen sooner.’"Ash, you can start by sowing doubt in Penny's mind. I had you hire the Shaws' bodyguards to make her think it was Charlotte Shaw's doing. C
The tension and unease that had gripped her body instantly melted away when they reverted to the easygoing friendship they had once shared.Penny responded, "They've moved out, so I can finally get some good sleep.”Caleb opened the file on his lap once more as he replied, "That's good to hear."Jade was seated beside them. She shifted her attention from one to the other, her eyes darting curiously. She was unsure if she was imagining it, but she could not shake off the feeling that the two were communicating through some secret silent language."Penny, Caleb's going to spend time with Charlotte after we get there. How about you come with me for a walk? The scenery around the area is breathtaking. Though my family is doing comfortably, moments like this when we can all hang out together are rare. If you feel uneasy, you can just tag along and enjoy the delicious treats with me.”Jade genuinely adored Penny. She was impressed with Penny’s artistic talents, stunning beauty, and deli
Penny was taken aback, thinking to herself, ‘Master Zaki is currently abroad and engrossed in research conferences. He hasn't returned to Imperial City for some time.’Oddly, Robert had not mentioned that to her. The revelation that Charlotte was pursuing art studies surprised Penny.She recalled that Liam Jones mentioned that Caleb appreciated art. She thought to herself, ‘It makes sense. How else could Charlotte and Caleb have found common ground at the beginning?’"Penny, wouldn't it be nice if Caleb were to divorce his wife? You could then become my sister-in-law!" Penny was staring at a colossal king crab when she swiftly denied the notion. "You shouldn't throw around such words."Jade playfully stuck her tongue out. "It's just us here. I'm just thinking aloud. Nonetheless, everyone knows that Caleb is fond of Charlotte. There's a good chance he'll end up marrying her after he gets a divorce."Speaking of weddings, when do you think Caleb and Charlotte will tie the knot? Wi
She turned to Caleb and said, "Caleb, I'll head over first."After nodding, Caleb moved toward Finn.Finn was heir to the Sanders family, which specialized in weapon manufacturing. He was in the company’s upper management team and an aristocrat.Finn's disposition was gloomy and irritable. He had few close friends. Luckily, both Caleb and Winston fell into that category.Caleb took a seat next to Finn, who let out a cold chuckle. "What do you see in her?"Winston nudged Finn. "Watch your words. Not everyone's like you. Caleb and Charlotte have known each other since childhood. They're a perfect match."Finn smiled as he swirled his wine glass.Caleb was not bothered by his comment. He sat down and scanned the scene. He thought to himself, ‘Why hasn't Penny arrived yet? Where’s Jade?’Jade led Penny through the aquatic area and explored the entertainment area.There were swimming pools, a spot for bungee jumping, and a shooting range. All the spots were abuzz with activity.
Penny realized she was completely drenched and had not brought any spare clothes. Her frustration grew as she tried to back to the pool's edge, but Jeremy caught her waist and prevented her escape."Penny, if I hadn't brought you here, do you think the Shaw cousins would have spared you? They've been spreading negative rumors about you tonight."People had been gossiping about Mrs. Fergerson.Penny's annoyance was evident as she squinted at him. "Nonetheless, you didn't have to toss me in like that."Jeremy's intentions were far from innocent. He wanted to see her drenched, and it seemed his strategy had worked perfectly.Jeremy leaned in, his breath tickling her ear. "Moreover, Charlotte probably doesn't even know you're Caleb's wife. She's already planning to cause you trouble since you're Caleb's interior designer. It'll dispel her suspicions if you play along with me. She won't bother you anymore. What do you think?"Penny found Jeremy's proximity uncomfortable. "Also
