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
No further conversation ensued before the car stopped in front of The Rosarium. Penny opened the door and was about to get out of the car before a thought occurred to her. She paused momentarily and then got back into the car. “Mr. Fergerson, can I still tattle to you if Charlotte causes me any more trouble in the future?”She used the word ‘tattle’ boldly. After all, the Sullivan family was nothing compared to the Shaw family. They were even less powerful in comparison to the Fergerson family. Charlotte was his girlfriend, which meant she could take advantage of his power to cause even more trouble. Caleb gazed at her silently for a few more seconds before asking, “Why do you think I’ll be on your side?” “Not on my side, but on justice’s side. I won’t take the initiative to mess around with Ms. Shaw. She’s the one who's wrongly accusing me of being an enemy when things are perfectly innocent between us, Mr. Fergerson.” She could feel the man’s gaze turning predatory whe
She took in a deep breath and then heard the sounds of Asher throwing things onto the ground. He had been acting this way for the past two days. Even the tiniest thing set him off.The fact that Penny and Charlotte had not gotten into a fight as he had expected and that Luna had been banished from the country caused Asher to be even more agitated.Willow could not care less about what would happen to the Sullivan family or how much money she would get in her inheritance. All she wanted was Caleb Fergerson. Her life would only be complete if Caleb Fergerson were hers.She opened the door. “Calm down, Asher. The fact that Luna Shaw has been sent overseas might indicate that Caleb is on Penny’s side, but we still have a fighting chance.” “What chance do we have?! Willow, you probably don’t know this, but Dad got hospitalized because he found out about Mom’s affair with Sunny. Our family will be ruined when he regains consciousness. The shares that Mom owns will be seized, and e
Hence, he refused to believe anything and had convinced his parents not to do anything just yet in case they were being scammed. He had no idea where they had gotten this information from. However, his parents returned several hours later with 400 grand. Chris was still struck in disbelief when he went to the bank to repay his loans. His 30-year mortgage was paid off in an instant, and he even had tens of thousands left.“Mom, the bank has approved my early loan settlement application, and the money has been deducted from my accounts. I won’t need to pay the mortgage every month anymore.” The excited glint in Spencer’s eyes turned into a greedy one. “Our eldest is so rich now that he won’t even hesitate to fork out 400 grand. Did you see his mansion? It’s breathtakingly gorgeous. A single floor seems to take up several hundred square feet of land. It would be more than enough for our family. We could rent out your place if we move there.”Chris was excited by that notion as
Penny had finally gotten a good night’s sleep, and now, there was more trouble she had to deal with upon waking up.Her brows knitted together tightly as she drove to the hospital. Spencer and Howard were still causing a scene. They lay on the floor and clamored, “They’re trying to kill us! They’re trying to kill us!” A dark glint appeared in Penny’s eyes as she strode over. “Are you done kicking up a fuss?”Spencer paused when she saw Penny, and then she sneered. “Do you hear yourself? I'm your grandmother, but you show me no respect. Has your conscience been tossed out the window?"Penny took in a long breath. When she saw the red marks on one of the bodyguards’ cheeks, she immediately knew the couple had been violent. “Ms. Sullivan.” The two bodyguards were hired by Laura, and they treated Penny with respect as well because they knew who she was.Penny felt a headache coming on. She left them with some instructions. “Toss them out if they continue kicking up a fuss
