It was evident that he was in a good mood at the moment.

The atmosphere at the scene became even more subtle. Andy kept losing in this war of words and finally realized that he should not argue with Penny anymore. If the conversation were to continue, the only person he would upset was himself.

He took a deep breath and looked at the dealer. “Deal the cards.”

The dealer made sure that everyone was ready before distributing the cards.

Many people surrounded Penny, waiting to watch the show unfold. However, some of them sympathized with her.

Just a moment ago, she said that she would pay back double the amount borrowed without knowing the value of the chips. Did that not mean that she now owed Winston 300 million?

Moreover, a novice actually had the guts to join a no-limit betting Texas Hold’em table. Even veterans needed to think carefully before participating in this kind of gambling, which could easily result in financial ruin.

Besides, everyone at the table was a scion, and th

    Penny did not bother paying attention to his ridicule. She looked up at him and could not help but laugh.“Young Master Andy, I’ve made it very clear that I’m already married. You don’t have to constantly target me just because I rejected your pursuit, right?”In other words, how could a grown man be so petty?She spoke clearly and coolly, her voice slowly spreading out. There were also a few sarcastic laughs coming from all around.Andy’s face instantly turned purple, and he clenched his fists.“Did you say I was pursuing you?”Penny raised an eyebrow, looking as if she was helpless.At this point, silence was better than words. There was no need to respond further. She could simply let the onlookers assume.Indeed, it was Andy who had brought her here in the first place, and his attitude suddenly changed after hearing that she was married.Just because he was unable to get what he wanted, he started slandering her?Although Penny was indeed a little strange, it was truly ta

    Luna almost fainted from this sentence.Her lips trembled again and again, but she could not squeeze out a complete sentence. She looked at Caleb for help.The man was acting calm, casually stroking the surface of the cards with his thumb. It was his turn to bet in this round. Like all the times before, he indifferently threw some of the chips in front of him.It was a bet for three million dollars.Suddenly, this action of his caught the attention of the onlookers, which indirectly saved Luna.Luna breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still lingering with fear. When she noticed that no one was paying attention to her, she shot a vicious glare at Penny.Penny pretended not to see it. She put her fingertips on the two hole cards in front of her, as if she was completely immersed in the game.With Caleb’s three million raise, according to the rules, the chips betted after him must be greater than or equal to this number.The pot was already close to 30 million.The dealer’s fa

    Andy did not hear anything else, just the words 'royal flush.'This kind of hand was a one-in-ten-thousand chance, something that even a beginner could only dream of. However, why would this stingy woman dare to bet 115 million otherwise?Unless she believed that her hand could beat any other hand!Andy had already hesitated when she called 15 million in the previous round.Now, upon hearing the onlookers’ comments, he frowned and subconsciously looked at Penny. On the contrary, this woman was so damn calm and did not show any expression on her face. She even noticed his gaze and turned her head to look at him.“Young Master Andy, this is the final round. Are you not going to call?”Her words implied that if he gave up now, all the money in the pot would belong to her.She was just stating the fact, but Andy’s mind was already in a state of confusion. He thought that this was Penny’s way of provoking him.It was not that he could not afford to lose 150 million, but knowing

    “Mister?”Penny called out, looking puzzled.Winston raised his eyes and smiled at her. “Just pay back the original amount.”“Please take it, Mister. In this line of work, we’re very committed to our promises.”A new member of the casino won 300 million in one night, and it was a woman at that. She was probably going to run into trouble before she even left the door.The best way to handle it now was naturally to transfer the trouble in her hands.The original promise she had with Winston became the best reason.Winston’s expression became even more complicated. Why on earth did she reject 150 million?Even if she had a job from Caleb, the design fee she received would probably only be in the millions or so range. She might not be able to earn this much money in her entire life working for someone else.Was she perhaps… trying to impress him as he was Caleb's friend?Winston no longer rejected. He patted Caleb’s shoulder.“As a married man, isn’t it time to go back?”He emp

    After Penny returned to her seat, Andy began to make snide remarks next to her.“Do you think Mr. Fergerson will look at you if you try to win him over with 150 million?”Penny found it funny and decided to ignore him.In any case, Andy was in a bad mood at the moment from her bluff. The more she paid attention to him, the more he seemed to enjoy it.Seeing that Penny was ignoring him, Andy felt a stomach ache. It was his first time getting so humiliated by a woman!Meanwhile, Luna, who was standing near Caleb, clenched her fists in frustration.She had thought Penny would embarrass herself at the casino, but instead, she had become the center of attention. Everyone, including some important people, was talking about her. Some even said they would seek her out for future design projects…‘Damn it. How can this bitch be so lucky?’She nearly gnashed her teeth to pieces as she glared viciously at Penny.Penny, however, seemed oblivious to Luna’s anger and went back to her cautio

    She truly liked him.  Caleb did not know how to react for a moment.  In the past, there had been people who expressed their interest in him, and he had rejected them without hesitation—but the woman in front of him was different.  They had slept together.  Although it was not her first time, once there was that kind of intimate relationship between two people, it was hard to treat each other normally once more.  A woman whom he shared that sort of relationship with was now in the position of an admirer.  If he treated her like he did other women in the past, it would seem heartless.  He hesitated for a few seconds before calmly saying, “You know I’m married, right?”  Penny furrowed her brows. Of course, she knew, but were they not discussing the design issue?  Caleb saw that she did not understand his hint and paused slightly.  “In fact, my wife and I are… very loving toward one another.”  The word 'wife' swirled round and round in his mouth, and he struggled to s

    “Anyway, just apologize to Susan first. She spent a long time looking for Willow tonight." This sentence was like a sharp knife that instantly stabbed into Penny’s heart.Zane was comforting Susan while reaching out to pat his daughter’s shoulder.“Penny, it’s not that I'm not helping you speak up, but you know about Willow’s health. The doctor said... if we don’t take good care of her, she might only have another ten years to live.”Penny dodged him.Just this small move created an insurmountable gap between the two.Zane froze, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his face. “It's Susan’s fault for being impulsive this time. Your face is swollen. I’ll go get you some medicine.”Saying such words of concern to her after slapping her… Penny was tired of this kind of treatment.“Dad, there's no need.”Her tone was calm as she released her hand from her cheek. “I’m leaving. When Willow wakes up, take good care of her.”She turned around and was about to leave, but the

    Penny, who was being treated by the doctor, nearly choked when she heard Amber’s words. She was about to speak up, but at that moment, the doctor accidentally poked her injured cheek, causing her to hiss in pain.The sound she let out made Amber even angrier.“Caleb, have someone drag that little brat back home within ten minutes. I’m going to have to teach him a lesson today!" Caleb stood by the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling window.Liam hit Penny? How could that be possible?“Is there some misunderstanding here, Aunt Amber?”“The woman's face is swollen with a clear palm print on it. What kind of misunderstanding can there be? Liam has truly disappointed me.”Liam, who was far away inside a bar, sneezed amidst the deafening music and felt a chill go down his neck.Caleb’s eyes were calm. Was she slapped by someone again?Penny, who finally found a chance, quickly spoke up.“Madam Fergerson, it wasn’t Liam. Liam is a good person who wouldn’t resort to violence.”Amber’s hand th

    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.

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?
