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
Penny was stunned as she looked at the photo Laura had taken, her eyebrows furrowed together.The woman in Sunny’s arms was the receptionist at the Sullivans’ company. Having visited there several times, Penny had already memorized the receptionist’s face.In the photo, Sunny had the receptionist pinned against a car seat, revealing only one of the woman’s ankles. A high heel hung from it. Clearly, the two could not resist engaging in intimate activities right there in the car.Those who worked as receptionists usually had above-average looks. Moreover, this particular receptionist had just graduated this year and was quite young—not even 20.Sunny had been with the Sullivans’ company for many years and was 40 years old. It seemed like he had never married.Frowning, Penny thought, ‘Yes, why isn't Sunny married?’Plus, if he genuinely liked this receptionist, why not simply make her his girlfriend openly? Why the secrecy?“Penny, this Sunny guy has a quite colorful romantic hi
Penny really wanted to refute that statement because Caleb had personally told her that he had only recently had his first time. This meant he had never slept with anyone before in his life.Perhaps she had listened to Laura’s nonsense too much. Even though she had a tough night, the thought of taking Caleb’s first time made her feel like she had gained something.Laura continued to exclaim from the side.“You two are really something, cheating on each other.”Penny wanted to move on from this topic, but Laura was relentless.“Who was the guy you were with?”“You wouldn’t know him.”“Was it rough? To be honest, when I used to watch those clips…”“Stop it. He was great. Let’s not talk about it.”Laura burst into laughter. “You’ve been with a man now. Why are you still so uncomfortable talking about this? I used to not dare to say much about it in front of you because you were innocent. But now that you’ve been with a guy, there'll definitely be more encounters. Make sure those
