Chapter 314 Penny Awoke From The Dream With A Jolt

Author: Twin Bridge
Penny did not reply to Zane. She simply set her phone aside and prepared to rest after a tiring day.

She found more new messages on her phone when she woke up the next day.

[I lost everything at 53. I can't even face your mother for fear of her scolding me.

[I've examined the contract with Purvi Group. Sunny signed an additional agreement, shortening the six months to just one month. Purvi Group has been incessantly calling me as we owe them a billion dollars. The Sullivans don't have that kind of liquidity.

[The Sullivans might be burdened with colossal debt. There’s no point in transferring the shares to you. It's better for you not to have any ties to Sullivan Corporation. Penny, I'm truly sorry.]

A sense of unease gripped Penny when she got to the last of Zane’s texts.

She immediately called him, but it was answered by a nurse.

"Ms. Sullivan, the patient went into shock last night and instructed us not to inform you. His will to survive is low."

    Lucas had been in his original department for so long, continuously being suppressed by his former boss. However, he had recently been promoted.His skills had always been good; the only setback was his educational background. However, since he had performed well last time, Mr. Bauer decided to keep him around for further training. He even found him to be quite competent.The moment Caleb entered the private room, the CEO of Bauer Builders, Rudy Bauer, and Lucas had already been waiting there. There were also a few other senior executives from Bauer Builders.Rudy enthusiastically stood up to greet him.“Mr. Fergerson, thank you for honoring us with your presence.”Caleb’s gaze passed over several people and landed on Lucas.Rudy, being a shrewd person, noticed Caleb’s interest in Lucas and thus pushed Lucas forward.“This is Lucas, my new protégé. Go ahead. Meet Mr. Fergerson.”Lucas had an average appearance, the type one typically would not pick out in a crowd.“Mr. Fergers

    Sure enough, when Penny saw Caleb, Mr. Bauer, and even Lucas inside, her eyebrows furrowed immediately.Both her real husband and her fake husband were in this private room.She suddenly felt a headache.However, Jeremy took her hand and walked directly to Rudy.“Mr. Bauer, if I’d known you were in the opposite room, I would've come over sooner. It’s fortunate that I asked around.”Rudy was anxious because Lucas had lost something of Caleb’s, but his mood improved significantly when Jeremy arrived.“Mr. Tate, Penny, would you like to sit down and have a drink?”Jeremy then noticed Caleb. “So, Mr. Fergerson and Ms. Shaw are here too. You two are really lovey-dovey.”Upon seeing that Jeremy was accompanied by Penny, Charlotte’s eyes flashed with disdain. “Mr. Tate, you're really fickle-minded. Just a few days ago, you were with another woman.”To Jeremy, this comment was a jest.However, it was not friendly to Penny. It implied to everyone in the room that Penny was easily repl

    Penny sat down next to Jeremy, who had saved her a seat right next to Caleb.Clearly, Jeremy had done this on purpose to stir the pot.Just moments before in the opposite private room, Amber had glanced at her a few times. Although she did not verbally mock her due to her upbringing, it was evident that she did not like her.They had finished early on that side, but surprisingly, Jeremy had a second act planned.Jeremy was a master at enlivening the atmosphere, and soon the table was buzzing with conversation. He then shifted the topic toward Purvi.Tonight’s dinner, hosted by Bauer Builders, was meant to thank Caleb. As long as the mood remained lively and not awkward, it would be a success.With Jeremy’s participation, everyone was chatting smoothly.Rudy had heard of Purvi and could not help chiming in.“Mr. Tate, you just acquired a big company. Are you perhaps interested in Purvi?”Jeremy chuckled lightly. “I’ve heard that Purvi is currently collaborating with several com

    Penny did not feel embarrassed. After all, if Caleb could watch the Sullivans go bankrupt without blinking an eye, how could he possibly let Purvi fall?In his heart, he would certainly enjoy seeing Purvi take down the Sullivans and burden them with debts totaling a billion.This would ensure that the wife he despised so much could never recover.After all, even if Sir Fergerson liked Penny, would he really bail out the Sullivans with so much money?The first round of financing was completed, and so was the second.At this point, the Sullivans were clearly being defrauded. Being scammed out of a billion would just prove that the Sullivans were unfit to run a company.It was a bottomless pit.Even if Sir Fergerson really did contribute, it might create a rift between him and Penny.Besides, Sir Fergerson was genuinely good to her. How could she let him give up all his capital?Penny was a clear-headed person, but she could not help bearing some resentment toward Caleb.They we

    Jeremy did not want to make the atmosphere too awkward, so he quickly chatted with Rudy for a bit, livening up the mood.Penny got up halfway through, unable to bear the underhanded barbs between the two men. She felt as though she was also getting dragged into it.She pretended to go to the restroom but actually went out to the hallway for some fresh air.Lucas was not far away in the hallway. Seeing her come out, he hurried over.“Penny, this is a sober-up drink. Want to take a sip?”Penny had not really drunk much, but she had had a glass when she was in the other room.To avoid getting tipsy, she accepted the drink from Lucas’ hand.Lucas touched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly.“I really owe my promotion to you. I don’t even know how to thank you for this time around.”Penny finished the drink and was about to ask him to do what she wanted when she saw someone approaching from the corner of her eye.It was Caleb.Caleb had excused himself to go out for a smoke a

    For the Fergersons, she seemed to have always been a commodity to be traded.Caleb stopped, his lips sensuously brushing against her ear.“What use is that good-for-nothing husband of yours?”Penny lowered her eyelashes, wondering how he could insult himself like that.Caleb’s hand reached her waist.“Have you made up your mind, Penny?”His words were like a trap, softly enticing and wanting to drag her into this quagmire.Penny did not respond, so he assumed her silence as consent. He lifted her up, kissing her while placing her on a table that had already been disinfected.Penny was left breathless from his kiss, then felt tingling sensations spreading around her neck.He was marking her.Caleb had a strong desire for control in such matters.Just then, Lucas’ voice came from outside the door.“Penny, I just saw that you came back. Did you forget something?”A spark flew in Penny’s mind as she pushed Caleb away.She got off the table, fastening all the buttons that had

    Winston raised an eyebrow when he saw that Caleb did not deny it.“So you had some?”Caleb looked at the cards in his hand and casually threw one out.He simply ignored Winston.“So you’ve only gotten a taste but haven’t had more than that.”Winston began to sigh.“I truly didn’t expect that one day, my high-maintenance brother would be interested in a married woman.”Caleb’s hand that was holding the cards paused as he furrowed his brows.“Don’t misuse terms.”“That is the fact, isn’t it? Although I admit she’s somewhat gorgeous, aren't you a clean freak? Could you really share a woman with someone? Have you thought about how she just kissed her husband and then turned to kiss you? Doesn’t that bother you?”Caleb was indeed bothered, but he kept a calm face.“Shut it!”Winston chuckled. “It seems you do care a bit. Just a reminder, it’s all just fun and games. If she can have an affair with you, she can do the same with someone else. Don’t get too caught up with someone wi

    Penny was displeased but was too shy to voice it out. Her body felt empty.“Are you happy that he’s back?” “No.” “Then, do you want me?” Penny bit her lip. He had caused sweat to break out across her body. Caleb’s phone rang. Finn was on the other end of the line. He answered the phone, and Finn’s voice rang out. “Imperial City is going to be in chaos tonight. The higher-ups are hunting for the results of Caspian's experiments, and even Uncle Shawn is getting involved in this. "He just called and told me that the higher-ups contacted him and basically forced him to agree to convince Caspian to give them the results. "Cas has also contacted the higher-ups himself and told them that unless Penny is by his side, the mental torture he was subjected to will stop him from recalling where he’s put the chip.” It was a matter of national security, and this was what Caspian was using as his bartering chip the minute he returned. There was no doubt the higher-ups would put a

    Penny had made it out of the room by then. Her face was deathly pale. “Penny!” Caleb ran after her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her behind a pillar where no one could see them. Caleb knew what was going through her mind, and he held her face in his hands. She did not look at him. Her chest heaved as she struggled to process the truth. Caleb did not know what to say and merely brushed the tip of his nose against hers. When she did not resist, he slowly moved down and kissed her. He knew why Caspian had chosen this sort of appearance. Not only would he manage to devastate Penny, but he could also announce to everyone that he was Penny’s first love. That way, he could also cause Caleb to find himself in a sticky situation. However, Caleb could not care less. As he kissed Penny, he tightened his arms around her waist. Their breaths turned ragged as they continued kissing for another ten minutes. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder. His back was slig

    Despite everyone staring at him, Caleb only had eyes for Penny. Penny did not know the reason behind that, and her brows were knitted together tightly as she watched Caspian make his way down from the second floor. He took the ring from the host and placed it before her solemnly. “I’m here to fulfill my promise, Penpen.” Penny wanted to smack his hand away, but he slowly bent over and smiled as he took her hand. He tried to put the ring on her finger, but his actions were stopped by someone else. He looked in the direction where the hand had come from, and his gaze met Caleb. “Long time no see, Caleb.” Caleb pulled Penny from her seat into his arms. She was left with no choice but to sit on his lap. Caleb could not care less about whatever sort of tricks Caspian would pull. If he allowed Caspian to put that finger on Penny’s finger, he would change his last name! Penny wanted to struggle out of his grasp, but the warmth of his body caused her to stop. He was still

    Some people were speculating if they had gotten back together again, and some were even wondering if Caleb was blind. Why did he pass on Khloe Strauss and choose a designer who did not come from a prestigious family? No matter how well Penny ran her company, these people would still view her as a lowly designer fighting to make a name for herself in the market. She ignored everyone else’s stares and merely took a piece of tissue. She turned slightly to wipe the sweat from Caleb’s forehead. Caleb opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. The two did not say anything. Plenty of people were standing around them, but the light above their heads seemed to have enveloped them in a world of their own. Penny felt her heart rate increase as she clutched the tissue and returned her gaze to the stage. “This is a piece of emerald that Mr. Winston Hill has donated. Bidding starts at three million dollars.” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Winston. Winston smiled at everyone as he int

    Penny stood still for a while, feeling unsettled as she got back into the car.Firstly, it was due to her situation with Caleb. Secondly, it was because of Ethan's words. Was something about to happen?She looked up, intending to speak with Winona. However, she suddenly heard Winona's soft sobs. She was lying on the steering wheel, so engrossed in her emotions that she did not notice Penny getting into the car."Winona?" Penny called out.Awakened from her daze, Winona quickly sat up straight. "Ms. Sullivan.""Did your ex-boyfriend come looking for you again? Haven't you already paid him back? Won't his family let you be?""That’s not it.""Is it because he and that woman are getting married?

    Ethan's gaze fell on Penny, and his brows furrowed. His good upbringing prevented him from making any sarcastic remarks at this moment.After all, Penny was alone on her side. On the contrary, they had strength in numbers. Khloe was just discharged from the hospital today and was planning to welcome friends who had come all the way from Americana to see her.Seeing Penny alone, she felt a surge of satisfaction.Given her status as Ms. Strauss, she had many friends in Americana and would never be as isolated as Penny.She had specifically called Linda over, knowing Linda's temper was explosive. Just a little sob story from her and Linda could spew out some really nasty words.Linda spoke up again at this moment."Slut, we'll get you killed sooner or later!"She touched her face as she glared fiercely at Penny as if she wanted to devour her alive.Khloe quickly intervened, saying, "Linda, let's go. We should head inside."Ethan, Sean, let's go."Sean stood by, sighing slightl
