Chapter 402 A Man Has To Be Flexible When Necessary

Author: Twin Bridge
Penny took a deep breath, put her arms around Caleb's neck, leaned in, and kissed him.

In the few intimate encounters she had, Penny had always been in a passive position. She was uncertain of how to take charge.

Caleb responded by pressing her against the door with a newfound assertiveness.

The kiss deepened and lasted for ten minutes. Finally, Caleb released Penny and left her somewhat breathless. However, she had not forgotten about her request.

"Mr. Fergerson, what do you think?"

All traces of his anger had dissipated entirely.

Caleb looked at her and said, "I have germophobia."

"I know."

"Have you been with anyone besides your husband and me?"

"No."

Her answer satisfied him, so he looked away. He opened the door, his tone easing as he said, "You can take a week off."

"Thank you, Mr. Fergerson."

Caleb ignored her and entered the elevator.

Penny did not follow suit.

As the elevator doors closed, Caleb felt the urge to smoke.

The moment she kissed him, Caleb felt his

    During this time, Penny also managed to call Laura to inform her about her decision to head home early. She also requested that Laura not set her up with any more men. She decided to keep the fact that she was stranded on the top floor to herself. She figured that if Caleb did not show up, the cleaning staff would eventually find her.Penny sat against the wall in the corridor and felt the discomfort of the high heels she had chosen to wear that night. Her feet were aching from standing.As she heard footsteps from the corridor, Penny quickly looked up and spotted Caleb walking toward her. With a mixture of relief and anticipation, she rose to her feet and called out to him, "Mr. Fergerson."She was careful not to provoke Caleb. She knew all too well that antagonizing him could lead to consequences similar to what happened to Purvi Group.Caleb stood by her side. His silence stretched for a few moments before he finally said, "Let's go."Penny followed him closely as she was d

    Laura and Penny enjoyed the cake together before Laura bid her goodbye and left.Penny slept until dawn before she headed to the Sullivans' residence to accompany Nani. She had previously asked Zane to stay in the hospital a little longer, but he was back as he wanted to celebrate her birthday with her.In the past, Penny was happy whenever her father was around on her birthday. However, their recent interactions were marked by awkward silences.Zane had instructed the mansion's chefs to prepare a lavish meal for the occasion.On the other hand, Chris Sullivan, who was still stinging from his previous loss at Penny's hands, could not stand the thought of his two sons being jobless while Zane enjoyed the luxuries of living in a grand mansion. Envy consumed him.Unable to contain his frustration, he confided in Spencer Hughes."Mom, don't you think Penny doesn't look anything like Zane? Her face is just too distracting. I suspect that Maeve hooked up with someone else and had h

    Zane had faced too many upheavals recently. His body could not help but convulse from the shock.Penny had already communicated with the hospital beforehand and understood that Zane's life could only be sustained through medication. Hospitalization would not provide much help at this point. The key was to prevent him from getting agitated.However, at that moment, Zane coughed up a mouthful of blood.Chris and Spencer exchanged a triumphant glance, their eyes gleaming with satisfaction.They thought to themselves, ‘If Zane dies, we can inherit his fortune!’Penny immediately rushed to Zane's side. She called for the doctor while she checked the paternity test results.Spencer sneered."You can leave now. This is a Sullivan family matter and has nothing to do with you."Just as she finished her sentence, Penny summoned the security personnel into the room."Get these people out of here!"Spencer was fueled by anger and nearly threw a teapot at Penny, but her sharp gaze deterre

    Penny fell silent and Zane looked down."I have a total of 35% of the shares. I'll give 20% to Willow and 15% to you."Penny's mouth tasted bitter. She was unsure of what to say.She was always the one left out.It was the case with her uncle's family, Caleb, and now Zane.She had never been needed by anyone.There was someone who once told her that she was important, but he left her without hesitation."Penny, Maeve had to give up her career in painting to take care of you. Her health deteriorated because of that."The burden of gratitude instantly overwhelmed Penny."If you're not my daughter, then you must not be Maeve's either. Maybe the hospital made a mistake at that time. I don't know whether the child Maeve gave birth to survived or not, but I want you to find out."Zane closed his eyes wearily."I don't have much time left. When I was discharged the last time, I overheard the doctors talking. I only have six months to live."Every word Zane uttered was putting more

    Willow laughed wildly in place and did not forget to admonish Penny, "Dad's giving me 20% of the shares. You have to manage Sullivan Corporation while I just need to sit back and collect money. Haven't you noticed? You've been used. It's truly pitiful. 20-odd years of companionship can't outweigh blood ties. Penny, nobody will care about you—not even Caleb."Penny ignored her and drove away.She looked at Willow's reflection in the rearview mirror and knew that at that moment, Willow had truly won.Willow was right about one thing. She had indeed been used.However, the weight of gratitude she felt toward Zane and Maeve pressed down on her. It made it impossible for her to go against what Zane wanted.As she drove back to The Rosarium, she received a call from a gift company."Ms. Sullivan, hello. We have a gift prepared several years ago that was specifically instructed to be given to you today. Can you let us know your address? We'll have someone deliver it to your doorstep."

    Caleb rubbed his forehead with his hand."You called me here just for this?""Cas went on a secret mission. He's been dead for so many years, yet his higher-ups are still investigating everything to do with him—including your father. Your father hasn't come home for many years, so I’m certain that your brother must have left something important behind. "It's highly possible that it's in the hands of his girlfriend. Perhaps even his girlfriend isn't aware of the importance of what she’s holding on to."Caleb remained silent. He was dressed in a suit and exuded a cold aura."Caleb, maybe you should think about what kind of girl Cas would like. We can screen them one by one in Imperial City. Perhaps it will be quicker."Caleb was about to leave. Finn saw his complete lack of interest and glanced at him."That information might uncover the reason for Cas's death."Caleb's body stiffened, and his lips formed a straight line."I've looked into it. He had no interactions with any fe

    Penny's fingertips tightened on the steering wheel, and her face turned as red as a tomato.Caleb released her.Penny did not say anything. She looked a little flustered and just stared ahead."Penny.""Mm?""You should consider divorcing your husband."Penny felt a chill in the night breeze. She did not respond to him.With that, Caleb's gaze gradually turned cold.A few minutes later, Penny turned her head to look at him. Her tone remained calm as she said, "Mr. Fergerson, why do you say that?"Her gaze remained indifferent even though her cheeks still bore the blush from his kiss.At that moment, Caleb was at a loss for words.He furrowed his brows as he did not understand why he had suddenly said that. He thought to himself, ‘I want her to get a divorce, and then what? Would I take responsibility for her? She's already been sleeping with her husband for three years before I got involved.’He felt disgusted when he thought of her being in bed with that kind of man."L

    Penny was displeased but was too shy to voice it out. Her body felt empty.“Are you happy that he’s back?” “No.” “Then, do you want me?” Penny bit her lip. He had caused sweat to break out across her body. Caleb’s phone rang. Finn was on the other end of the line. He answered the phone, and Finn’s voice rang out. “Imperial City is going to be in chaos tonight. The higher-ups are hunting for the results of Caspian's experiments, and even Uncle Shawn is getting involved in this. "He just called and told me that the higher-ups contacted him and basically forced him to agree to convince Caspian to give them the results. "Cas has also contacted the higher-ups himself and told them that unless Penny is by his side, the mental torture he was subjected to will stop him from recalling where he’s put the chip.” It was a matter of national security, and this was what Caspian was using as his bartering chip the minute he returned. There was no doubt the higher-ups would put a

    Penny had made it out of the room by then. Her face was deathly pale. “Penny!” Caleb ran after her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her behind a pillar where no one could see them. Caleb knew what was going through her mind, and he held her face in his hands. She did not look at him. Her chest heaved as she struggled to process the truth. Caleb did not know what to say and merely brushed the tip of his nose against hers. When she did not resist, he slowly moved down and kissed her. He knew why Caspian had chosen this sort of appearance. Not only would he manage to devastate Penny, but he could also announce to everyone that he was Penny’s first love. That way, he could also cause Caleb to find himself in a sticky situation. However, Caleb could not care less. As he kissed Penny, he tightened his arms around her waist. Their breaths turned ragged as they continued kissing for another ten minutes. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder. His back was slig

    Despite everyone staring at him, Caleb only had eyes for Penny. Penny did not know the reason behind that, and her brows were knitted together tightly as she watched Caspian make his way down from the second floor. He took the ring from the host and placed it before her solemnly. “I’m here to fulfill my promise, Penpen.” Penny wanted to smack his hand away, but he slowly bent over and smiled as he took her hand. He tried to put the ring on her finger, but his actions were stopped by someone else. He looked in the direction where the hand had come from, and his gaze met Caleb. “Long time no see, Caleb.” Caleb pulled Penny from her seat into his arms. She was left with no choice but to sit on his lap. Caleb could not care less about whatever sort of tricks Caspian would pull. If he allowed Caspian to put that finger on Penny’s finger, he would change his last name! Penny wanted to struggle out of his grasp, but the warmth of his body caused her to stop. He was still

    Some people were speculating if they had gotten back together again, and some were even wondering if Caleb was blind. Why did he pass on Khloe Strauss and choose a designer who did not come from a prestigious family? No matter how well Penny ran her company, these people would still view her as a lowly designer fighting to make a name for herself in the market. She ignored everyone else’s stares and merely took a piece of tissue. She turned slightly to wipe the sweat from Caleb’s forehead. Caleb opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. The two did not say anything. Plenty of people were standing around them, but the light above their heads seemed to have enveloped them in a world of their own. Penny felt her heart rate increase as she clutched the tissue and returned her gaze to the stage. “This is a piece of emerald that Mr. Winston Hill has donated. Bidding starts at three million dollars.” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Winston. Winston smiled at everyone as he int

His lowered lashes cast a shadow.He stood up and heard Ethan say again, "Leave your phone."Sean chuckled. "Ethan, you're being too serious right now."He left his phone behind and went upstairs.Khloe continued to sway Ethan's shoulders."Ethan, I had Wind take action against Penny tonight. This time, success is mandatory. Failure is not an option."Ethan's expression turned grave instantly. "Didn't I tell you not to act on your own?""But I nearly lost my life because of her, twice."After saying this, she touched the area over her heart, her complexion turning pale in a moment."Khlo?"This time, Khloe genuinely felt discomfort in her heart, and the next second, she fainted."Khlo!"Ethan was no longer concerned about reprimanding her and immediately took her to the hospital.…Tonight, the

    Penny stood still for a while, feeling unsettled as she got back into the car.Firstly, it was due to her situation with Caleb. Secondly, it was because of Ethan's words. Was something about to happen?She looked up, intending to speak with Winona. However, she suddenly heard Winona's soft sobs. She was lying on the steering wheel, so engrossed in her emotions that she did not notice Penny getting into the car."Winona?" Penny called out.Awakened from her daze, Winona quickly sat up straight. "Ms. Sullivan.""Did your ex-boyfriend come looking for you again? Haven't you already paid him back? Won't his family let you be?""That’s not it.""Is it because he and that woman are getting married? Did they send you a wedding invitation, which made you feel upset?""No."Then what was it?Penny knew that the family situations of the people close to her were quite simple.
