Chapter 457 Is There Something Wrong With This Woman?

Author: Twin Bridge
"Grandpa, I have something to attend to in Union County."

Sir Fergerson's gaze immediately turned sharp.

"Why do you keep returning there? Are you seeing some woman over there?"

Caleb's heart skipped a beat as he feared that Sir Fergerson might dig into it and discover something. That might lead to Penny being sent away.

Sir Fergerson's methods were just as ruthless as his.

"I'll be back this afternoon."

His tone was casual, but a familiar sense of annoyance settled in after he hung up the call.

Caleb sent a message to Penny.

[What exactly are you trying to achieve?]

Penny pursed her lips when she saw the message he sent to her private number.

[I'm protecting my legal rights.]

Caleb found it amusing and thought to himself, ‘Legal rights? What rights does she have to speak of?’

[Withdraw the lawsuit.]

[Why?]

Caleb's anger flared up immediately when he saw her one-word reply.

However, for some reason, the tone did not quite match the image he had of her.

Caleb wondered,

    Union County was in chaos. Jenni was aware that her unborn child was not going to make it, so she resorted to an outrageous act of trying to make Caleb responsible by faking an accident.She had only sustained minor injuries when she was thrown several meters away. However, she had to sell the story, so she clutched her abdomen as blood pooled around her feet."My baby! My unborn baby! Mr. Fergerson, you need to compensate me! I'll be tied to you for the rest of my life unless you pay me four million!"Caleb had never encountered such a shameless woman in his life.

    Jeremy had his own agenda. He absolutely could not let Penny's identity be exposed. After his previous incident, he could not afford to continue being a fool and for Caleb to end up winning over Penny.He thought to himself, ‘Since Caleb likes Charlotte, he can continue liking her. After all, Penny doesn't fit in with the Fergersons.’Jeremy was well-prepared. He led Penny to a private dressing room. Under the skillful hands of the makeup artist, Penny's face was painted with numerous fake pimples. She also put on a hat. Her clothes were an unattractive brown-green combination, forming a truly tasteless appearance.Penny looked at her reflection in the mirror. She could only see some of the pimples on her face due to the hat and the black-framed glasses that covered most of her face. She looked completely unrecognizable.Jeremy stood behind her, marveling at the transformation. "Even your father won't be able to recognize you like this. You can just say you have pollen allerg

    Charlotte's face drained of color as she showed an expression of disbelief. She had thought Penny was an easy target and did not expect her to be skilled with words.Charlotte could not refute even a single sentence!Moreover, people around them had already started to comment."I've always wanted to say this, but Charlotte's behavior is indeed that of a mistress.""She's flaunting that necklace in front of the wife. How shameless.""The Shaws aren't even a top-tier family. What is she showing off about?"Charlotte felt as though she had an out-of-body experience. She stared hatefully at Penny.She thought to herself, ‘How dare this ugly freak humiliate me like this?! Bitch! Wretched woman!’She was about to lose her composure. She wanted nothing more than to slap Penny across the face!Nonetheless, she had to restrain herself.At the crucial moment, Madam Yvette spoke up to help Charlotte out."That’s enough.

    However, in the next second, Robert Zaki put down two paintings and rolled up the one that had been torn.“Who tore this up? I spent over a month on it. How ignorant.”He looked at Penny with furrowed brows.“Who tore this painting?”Penny pointed at Yvette, whose face instantly turned pale. The older woman said, “Master Zaki, what do you mean? Is this painting real?”Robert frowned. “I painted it myself. How could it be fake? Madam Yvette, since you’ve torn someone else’s work, naturally, you’ll have to compensate. Someone offered me 40 million for this at the last auction, and I didn’t even sell it then.”He was getting a bit annoyed as he rolled up the painting.“I can’t believe you’re this ignorant. It’s no wonder someone couldn’t help but sue you. You treat fake goods like treasures and mistake a fake one as genuine. You’ll come to regret this one day!”Yvette was speechless, and Charlotte was stunned.The painting she bought was fake?!How could this be?!She had spent

    His grip on her tightened, and Penny suddenly felt as if all the oxygen in her lungs had disappeared. She could not speak, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.Caleb despised her so much that he did not even want to question why her appearance had changed. He did not bother asking why she suddenly had heavy bangs and glasses, or even why she was dressed so plainly.Any incomprehensible behavior of hers, he attributed it to her deliberately playing tricks.“Is this amusing to you?”The veins in his wrist bulged, showing the force he was applying.Penny felt so choked that she thought she might actually die at that moment.She looked at Caleb’s handsome hands.Just days before, his beautiful hands were wrapped around her waist. His mouth, which was speaking such ruthless words at this moment, had lingered on her body.She slapped his hands, feeling like she was about to suffocate for real.“Penny Sullivan, I heard Zane is sick.

    It was the first time Penny had seen Caleb so angry.Lowering her eyelashes, Penny silently followed behind Jeremy.It was only when they reached a brighter area that Jeremy faintly saw the marks on her neck from being choked.He felt uncomfortable inside. “Was it Caleb?”Penny got into the car. Her throat was burning painfully, and even speaking hurt.“Yeah.”“He’s rather cruel to his wife.”Penny gave him a bitter smile. The woman who had just been holding her own in a battle of words did not know what to say right now. She felt somewhat bitter inside.“Penny, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Caleb usually acts high and mighty, but his temper isn’t that great. Nobody in Imperial City dares to provoke him now. Do you know why?”Penny did not speak; she just quietly touched her sore throat.“Anyone who can make a name for themselves on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley within three years is no pushover. People in both these places are crazy and can’t stand each other, yet he thri

    After returning to The Rosarium, Robert called and furiously berated Caleb over the phone.“That damn kid! I wish I could tear him apart!“I’m furious! You married him and he feels wronged?! And he’s out there foolin’ around?!“My disciple! Robert Zaki’s disciple! Where did those people get the nerve to make such irresponsible remarks?!”Penny felt somewhat guilty. Her master had only come to Imperial City for a day, and it was for some urgent work. He hated public appearances, and yet, because of her, he appeared in front of everyone.After he finished venting, she quickly apologized.“Master Zaki, I’m sorry.”Robert was fuming.“What were you thinking? You were just going to keep hiding it?”“I don’t know.”Robert took a deep breath on the other end. “What happened to your voice? Why does it sound hoarse? Were you crying?”Penny coughed a couple of times and took a few sips of her medicine. Her throat was in pain.“No, my throat just hurts a bit.”“Little Penny, do you l

    When Caleb walked in, everyone else instantly fell silent.Grinning, Winston handed him a glass of alcohol.“You arrived too late tonight. You missed all the exciting drama. Caleb Fergerson, your wife is quite interesting.”Caleb had just finished dealing with the Fergersons' pile of issues. Now, Yvette was hospitalized out of anger, and the Shaws were still complaining.Penny Sullivan had stirred everyone into unrest!Winston patted Caleb on the shoulder.“Although she’s not much to look at, she’s rather eloquent.

His eyes were cold and clear.Winston tried to comfort him, saying, “Come on, forget about her. What are you planning to do about Charlotte? After

    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

    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.
