“I don’t.”Penny responded casually. She was not used to talking about these things with others, so her attitude was a little cold.A look of joy flashed across Willow's eyes. ‘I’m glad you don’t like him.’The car stopped in the courtyard of Sullivan Residence and Penny intended to leave immediately after she sent Willow off.It just so happened that Zane was watering the flowers in the garden with Asher by his side.Penny frowned. Willow had already gotten out of the car and run over.“Dad, Ash.”Zane was explaining the company affairs to Asher and stopped when he saw Penny's car from a distance.Penny had no choice but to get out of the car to greet them. “Dad.”Zane handed the kettle in his hand to the servant and sighed softly. “I’m glad you’re back. Go in, your Aunt Susan prepared a lot of delicious food tonight. I have something to talk to you about as well.”Penny had to go meet Caleb and there was not much time left.“Dad, I have something to attend to. Let's talk a
Penny got into the car with a heavy heart. It took her twenty minutes to arrive at the Fergerson Estate.A servant opened the door. Her eyebrows were furrowed with displeasure when she saw Penny.“Ms. Sullivan, what are you doing here? Ma'am isn’t here.”Penny saw that there was no one in the hall except for the servants who were cleaning.She looked up and wanted to ask if Caleb was here, but the servant had already turned around impatiently.‘It makes sense that she’s acting like that. Aurelia Bailey has never acted friendly toward me every time she comes here. She’s clever and knows that I’ll be divorced sooner or later, so she doesn't even bother to act polite.’“Who's here?”Someone opened the entrance to the garden. A beautiful girl stood there, chuckled, and said, “Is she the new caretaker? She’s quite pretty.”There was no malice in her gaze. She was simply asking a question.The servant chuckled lightly and a look of disdain flashed across her eyes.Nonetheless, Penn
Jade had a kind of childlike innocence in her. Her eyes lit up when she spoke, and she kept going on.Penny often dealt with difficult people, so the fact that she was able to relax around Jade was surprising, to say the least.She looked at Jade's painting in silence.Jade, who held a paintbrush in her hand, sighed.It was not like she was expecting Penny to give any constructive feedback, but the latter suddenly took the brush and made a few changes to the painting. The painting that was lacking a spark seemed to come to life after Penny's touch-up.Jade's eyes widened as she raised her hand to rub her eyes."You... You just changed the color, didn't you? Gosh, it seems to be a different painting. Have you also learned painting?"She knew Penny was an expert from her skillful brushwork and color adjustment techniques.With a nod, Penny put down the brush."You have a solid foundation, and you just need to brush up on your color-matching skills."Jade's excited face was fl
Penny knew that Kiki was being sarcastic, but she didn't intend to respond to her. She simply walked to her desk and sat down.Seeing this, Kiki was a little pissed. ‘If Hank had given me the opportunity to reach out to Caleb, I’m certain I could've secured the project too. After all, Caleb only agreed to the partnership because he’s Hank's former classmate in high school. It has little to do with Penny herself. That woman just got lucky, but her reputation soared because of it. How does she keep getting so lucky?'There seemed to be a bomb in Kiki's chest that was ready to explode at any time. Penny’s reaction made her even angrier."Tsk tsk, some people… Don't think that you can climb up the social ladder just because Caleb entrusted you with the design of his house. He already has someone. Everyone in Imperial City knows that he’s waiting for her, and the place in Kensington Gardens is meant to be their newlywed house."As interior designers, it was indeed easier for them to b
Kiki felt a little diffident. Although she started the fight, she did not want to put her career on the line.She looked at her colleagues, but they all looked away when they met her gaze. They did not want to get involved in this mess at all.Kiki, who was unable to back down, felt enraged.‘Aren't these people dissatisfied with Penny? Things have reached this point, so why don't they dare to fight?'Of course, she did not dare to admit that she was angry at herself as well. She knew that she could not compete with Penny, yet she had done something as stupid as provoking the woman.She slowly clenched her hand that was by her side, her nails almost digging into her palm."Penny, your suggestion isn't fair at all. Caleb likes you, and he must have told you his preferences! We don't know anything, so how can we compete with you?!"She made up an excuse so that even if she lost, it would seem like it was because Penny had the upper hand from the beginning.That way, even if Penny
On the top floor of Fergerson Corporation's office building, Caleb was sitting behind his desk with his expression as neutral as always.At noon, he took the time to go back to the Fergerson Estate, but he did not expect that woman to bail on him at the last minute.His impression of her had already fallen to rock bottom before this, and now, it had sunk even lower. Just then, someone opened his office door. Sebastian Quinn walked in with a stack of documents in his hand."Mr. Fergerson, the doctor from overseas called and said that Sir Fergerson is already going through the process. He'll return to Imperial City in about a week."‘That’s too fast.’Caleb raised his hand and rubbed his brows. After some time, he raised his gaze and said lightly, "Have the lawyer draw up a new contract. Fergerson Corporation is willing to help the Sullivans through the second round of financing on the condition that my nominal wife will play along with me. "His tone was indifferent. The reason
The lawyer felt that he might have gotten a glimpse of the truth.Back at Fergerson Corporation, he handed over the contract to Caleb."Mr. Fergerson, Ms. Sullivan has signed the contract."Caleb looked at the signed document, and his eyes fell on her name. ‘Penny Sullivan? So this is her full name.'He sat back with a frown. "She didn't ask for anything more?"The lawyer shook his head, wanting to say that not only did Ms. Sullivan not ask for anything more, but she even agreed readily.Caleb frowned. ‘After I agreed to resolve the second round of financing for the Sullivans and postpone the divorce, she signed the contract without a second thought. She probably thought our meeting in the afternoon was about the divorce, so she deliberately bailed on me.’Having decided not to delve into the matter, he put the contract aside. "Okay."Subconsciously, the lawyer felt that the boss might have misunderstood something. He hesitated to speak and eventually decided to leave.‘Anyway
Thinking about this, Andy became more complacent. He raised his hand and was about to pinch Willow’s chin.Willow was so frightened that she closed her eyes, and even her eyelashes began to tremble.“Take the pretty girl away. As for you, come upstairs with me. We’ll be playing something exciting.”Penny guessed that Andy would not actually do anything to her. This was Sky Lounge, and professional bodyguards would come over immediately as long as she shouted.However, this place was still a favorite among the wealthy. If she really was surrounded, it would be embarrassing for her.She still had to work in the future. If she was blacklisted, it would be difficult to make progress in this circle.“Young Master Andy, about the excitement you’re referring to, are you talking about the casino upstairs?”He raised his eyebrows and walked upstairs as he replied, “Yes. It seems you’ve been there before.”Penny did not respond, but she noticed that Willow was about to cry. “Let her go f
