Penny called Laura, who answered quickly. Initially, Laura had received a call from home, asking her to come back.“Laura, something has happened here.”From Penny’s anxious tone, it was immediately obvious that something was wrong.Laura did not hesitate. She quickly asked for the address and drove over.However, halfway there, she realized that the address seemed familiar. It appeared to be the same address Mason had just mentioned. Were Penny and Mason at the same bar?She did not have time to think further. Upon entering the private room, she saw Penny's neck covered in blood and was startled.“Penny!”Penny struggled to lift her head. Seeing Laura, she sighed with relief. The broken bottle in her hand immediately dropped to the floor.“Take me to the hospital.”Laura was extremely anxious.“Okay.”Not wasting any time, she quickly took off her own jacket to wrap it around Penny’s neck so as not to attract attention when walking through the hall.Her brows furrowed. Now
“Charlotte, my reputation is ruined. So many people now know that I rolled in the hay with a bodyguard. Will I ever be able to get married?”Just thinking about Caleb having witnessed such a scene made her wish she could die right then and there.However, Luna truly could not stand this. She had been around Caleb for so long, and he had never even looked at her.On the other hand, he seemed to have a good relationship with a designer.He was even the boyfriend to her own cousin, Charlotte.She felt like she was not getting anything good out of all this.Charlotte was somewhat perfunctory as she held her arm.“Who’s to blame in all this? You were so careless.”Luna was filled with resentment, but the one she hated the most was still Penny. All of this was Penny’s doing.The two of them ran into Laura, but Laura only recognized them and was not close enough to greet them.Luna was taken in for a check-up. Charlotte waited alone outside for an hour and was getting impatient when
Penny did not want to sit idly by, so she took the initiative and called Laura. She asked her to use the Jennings’ influence to look into the two men.“That sort of thing actually happened to you?! I’ll have someone investigate it right away. Penny, don’t worry and just rest well in the hospital!”After hanging up the phone, Penny saw her door being pushed open by Luna.Luna’s eyes were fixed on her, and she sneered.“Charlotte’s husband will be here soon. You’d better think about how you’re going to apologize to Charlotte.”Penny found it amusing.“You seem to have a short memory. Have you forgotten why you’re in the hospital yourself?”Luna’s face tensed up, her eyes full of resentment.However, before Caleb arrived, she definitely could not do anything.She snorted and slammed the door shut before heading straight to the room next door.Penny massaged her temples. She had acted against Charlotte because she thought about the two men and was not able to restrain herself. Sh
Penny had already anticipated that Caleb would stand up for Charlotte. “I will not.”“Really? Aren’t you afraid it'll affect your studio, your family, and even your reputation in the industry?”His tone was indifferent. Even his threats were casually made.Raising his eyelashes, he added, “Even more so, it could affect your husband’s hard-earned promotion.”Penny was not sure if it was her imagination, but Caleb seemed more aggressive this time.He was not as indifferent anymore.Upon seeing that her initial stance was quite firm but she became silent when he mentioned it could affect her husband’s job, he sneered.“What a loving couple.”He stood up, more determined than ever.“Apologize to Charlotte before you’re discharged.”If she did not apologize, she would be charged with intentional injury once Charlotte reported her to the police. After all, Charlotte could produce medical evidence.Penny was just a designer. If her family was powerful, she would not have all those
Caleb was holding something with one hand and answering the phone with the other.The call was from Sebastian.“Mr. Fergerson, the news from the other end is as follows. We previously intercepted the Sullivans’ business, and now Zane is in the hospital. It seems his assistant is handling the affairs. They're planning to sign a deal soon with a company we, Fergerson Corporation, have blacklisted. This project is a pitfall. It could potentially cost them billions. I doubt the Sullivans have that kind of liquidity. If they do sign it, they'll definitely go bankrupt.”Sebastian had just learned this information while talking to a friend. Thinking it might concern the president's wife, he decided to give his boss a heads-up and perhaps suggest a call to the president's wife.However, Caleb was already tired of the Sullivans’ tactics. Hearing this, he showed no emotion and simply replied, “The Sullivans going bankrupt is none of my business.”The words rang in Penny’s ears, making her p
The door in front of him opened. Just as Charlotte was about to step out, she saw the flowers in Caleb’s hand and eagerly took them.“Caleb!”She sniffed the flowers and quickly called for Luna to find a vase.Luna, upon seeing Caleb’s gift, was a bit jealous but dared not show it. She quickly asked someone for a vase and placed the roses inside.Caleb had bought the flowers from a shop he passed by. He did not put much thought into it. He just did not want to arrive empty-handed.“Are you feeling better?”With bone and tendon injuries, Charlotte definitely needed to stay in the hospital for some time.However, given that Caleb was firmly standing by her side this time, even lying in bed felt sweet to her.“I’m much better. The chef just sent some delicious food. You must be busy, yet you still took the time to see me.”At this point, she felt overwhelmingly sweet and grabbed his arm.“I haven’t told my family about this. I'm afraid they'll worry.”Caleb gently removed her h
Penny still had a bandage wrapped around her neck.The moment the elevator closed, Caleb asked her, “How did you hurt your neck?”“By accident.”Her tone had become indifferent, and she did not look at him.The elevator stopped on the first floor, and she went alone to complete her discharge formalities.Watching her back, Caleb’s brows furrowed. She seemed to be always alone.When it was time to get into the car, she came back and stood on the roadside to hail a taxi.Caleb sat in the car, gripping the steering wheel as he tapped his fingertips lightly. He wondered how she could be so nonchalant. She had no impression of what happened that night at all.He rubbed his forehead.He slowly pulled the car over, rolled down the window, and revealed his profile.“Where to?”Penny was surprised to see he had not left.This was not a good place to catch a taxi. “The Rosarium. Would you be willing to give me a ride, Mr. Fergerson?”“Get in.”Penny then opened the car door and too
Penny realized that the space in the car had suddenly become even more cramped after she said those words.She was only joking.Just as she thought of lightening the mood, he asked, “If you’re looking for someone, what kind of person are you planning to find?”His voice was clear and smooth.Penny was stunned again, even thinking that Caleb might utter out, “How about me?” next.She must be crazy to think that Caleb would eagerly want to be someone’s “other man.”Due to this wild thought, she laughed out loud.“Mr. Fergerson, I was only joking.”Caleb’s eyes turned cold, and he stopped talking.The car stopped at The Rosarium. After getting out, Penny intended to bend down and thank him, but he drove away without even saying goodbye.Penny straightened her back with a sigh.His temper was truly unpredictable.Back at The Rosarium, without having time to rest, Penny changed her clothes and headed to the Sullivans’ company.She had barely entered the lobby when the reception
