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
On the other hand, having heard that Zane had opened his eyes, Susan panicked.How could this happen so quickly? Did the doctor not discreetly mention that it would take another week?!She hurriedly rushed to the hospital. Seeing that Zane was still unconscious, she breathed a sigh of relief.The security guards were still guarding the door. She could not do anything and immediately called Sunny.“The doctor said Zane opened his eyes today! Sun, what should we do? Something else has happened with Ash. I’m really at my wit's end here.”Sunny was also somewhat surprised. He did not expect Zane to open his eyes so quickly given his condition.Nonetheless, that was okay. His net was already cast. In two days, once the money arrived, he would leisurely go abroad.“Suzi, don’t worry. He only opened his eyes. It'll be a long time before he can talk.”Susan felt uneasy. “Once Zane can talk, we’re done for. How about we sell my shares while he’s still unconscious, take some money, and t
“Stop hitting me! If you stop, I’m willing to give you 50 grand!”However, the men kept swinging their batons without pause while berating him harshly.“You deceived my sister’s feelings! I’ll kill you today!”Sunny had been with many women and had even paid for quite a few. Recently, he had been particularly close with the company’s receptionist.He really liked the young woman and gave her three grand a month. The woman knew all sorts of positions.In his opinion, all relationships with women were simply transactional. How could he possibly deceive anyone’s feelings?The men beating him simply found an excuse to do so. They beat Sunny until he could no longer move and then quietly left.The surveillance here had already been sabotaged in advance by them. Sunny would definitely not be able to find anyone afterward.Sunny was sent to the hospital at 3:00 am and went straight into the emergency room.Penny originally just wanted Laura’s people to break one of his legs. She had
Penny’s brows furrowed even more. The document only mentioned a 700-million-dollar collaboration with Sullivan Corporation, but it did not specify what the collaboration was about.She instantly became anxious. What kind of collaboration could involve 700 million in cash flow?The last time Sullivan Corporation had a funding round, even the Fergersons had not invested 700 million. This project was even more valuable than that funding.Penny's heart raced, and she could not sit still any longer.She called Jeremy. Jeremy had recently acquired Sherman’s company and should know more about Purvi than Laura did.When Jeremy picked up the phone, he was in a meeting. He casually spun a pen between his fingers."Penny, aren’t you being a bit too much here? You’re only calling when you need help.”“Mr. Tate, I just want to know what kind of project Purvi has thrown at us.”Jeremy leaned back and chuckled.“What's wrong? Your family signed a deal with Purvi?”“It seems so. My father is
He looked calm, as if the crisis did not involve his wife’s family.Sebastian sighed, concluding that the president really disapproved of his wife.Well, there was clearly no need to mention the Sullivans in front of him anymore.“Sir, Sir Fergerson called twice to ask if you've met with Ms. Shaw.”Sir Fergerson was very cautious about Charlotte.Caleb took the contract handed over by Sebastian and thought Sir Fergerson should be cautious of other people instead.As for who this other person might be, he had an idea.Caleb had many meetings every day. If he was not in a meeting, he was on his way to one.He never brought his phone to meetings, so he missed calls from both Sir Fergerson and Charlotte.“Ms. Shaw also asked you to come see her.”“How’s Charlotte’s recovery?”“It'll take a hundred days for her injuries to heal, so she’ll likely be in the hospital for a while.”Caleb stared at the contract in front of him, not making a move for a long time.After a while, he as
Penny dodged the attack and immediately grabbed Luna’s wrist, seizing the dagger from her hand.Security guards stationed at the hospital also noticed this dangerous scene. Two guards rushed over and quickly subdued Luna.Luna’s pupils were still fixed intently on Penny.“You bitch, just you wait!”Penny frowned slightly. Was Luna really that upset just because she had been fired?Tears streamed down Luna’s face. “He actually helped you! He actually helped you! There must be something shameful happening between you two! You must have seduced him, you wretch! You’ll get what’s coming to you!”Penny found it amusing. She finally understood that Luna must have been provoked by Caleb.That made sense. After receiving the termination letter, Luna probably went straight to Caleb and faced another blow.Unable to bear Luna’s continuous name-calling, Penny seized the opportunity while the guards had her restrained. She walked up and slapped Luna twice without hesitation.Luna was stun
Hearing the door open, Penny set down the newspaper. She had waited here for so long that her bad mood from before had gradually improved. However, this did not change what she was about to do.“Mr. Fergerson.”She called out politely.Caleb walked behind the black marble desk and sat in a leather chair.“If there’s something you need, let’s talk in two hours. I have a meeting to attend first.”Penny lowered her eyelashes. She had already waited for two hours and did not mind waiting more. She was determined to finish what she came to do tonight.“Alright, Mr. Fergerson, you go ahead.”Caleb looked up, his deep gaze falling on her.At that moment, Sebastian entered, bringing a cup of coffee for Caleb.As he was about to leave, Caleb softly asked, “Penny, have you had dinner yet?”Penny had just been angered by Luna and had not thought about dinner.“No.”“Sebastian, prepare dinner for her.”Sebastian hesitated for a moment, thinking that although the boss would not admit i
Caleb paused in his footsteps. He felt inexplicably annoyed. She had pulled out all the stops when she wanted to work as his designer. Now, she was discarding him without hesitation because she no longer wished to work for him. Penny had not noticed he had stopped walking and did not have enough time to stop herself. The tip of her nose crashed right into his back, and tears of pain welled in her eyes. “Reason.” There was no noticeable tone in his voice, but he sounded much cooler than he usually did. “It’s because the Shaw cousins keep causing me trouble, and I’m worried I won’t be as lucky as I was today.” What she said was the truth. Penny had no idea how many times she could make it out alive if Luna always got bailed out of trouble every time she tried to assassinate her.Caleb had entered the elevator by then, and she walked in after him. “What happened today?” “Mr. Fergerson, wouldn’t you know by now that there’s bad blood between me and Luna Shaw seeing as
