Chapter 463 Some Things Were Just Poisonous

Author: Twin Bridge
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. Marrying her is also a blessing for you.”Caleb, having had a rough day, lowered his eyelashes and coldly retorted, “Do you want this blessing?”Winston immediately fell silent.After all, he preferred beautiful women.Caleb took a sip of his drink, leaned slightly back, and unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt collar. 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

    At the moment, Penny was holding a resume. The woman’s name was Winona Zeller. She had just joined the company earlier this year. Penny decided to call her in.Winona was 21 years old, and she was petite and pretty.Looking her up and down, Penny then asked, “Can you serve as the CEO’s assistant?”Winona hesitated for a moment, then nodded.She had heard about the new CEO’s style of doing things. This was an opportunity for a promotion.“Then go to the HR department to process the job transfer. Come to the top floor in the afternoon. I’ll have a workspace set up for you.”Winona nodded again. She was not talkative, but what Penny said was final.Penny was satisfied with this.On the other hand, Charlotte, who was just humiliated yesterday, had swollen eyes from crying so much.She had heard that Yvette had woken up, so she went to see her first thing in the morning.Yvette had returned to the Fergerson Estate. Hearing that the court was still waiting for her to appear, she al

    Penny’s office had fallen into an eerie silence. Neither she nor Winona spoke.After a while, she stood up and said to Winona, “You’ve worked hard. You can go now.”Winona hesitated for a moment, then nodded.After leaving the company, Penny went to the Sullivans’ villa.There was no way she could apologize to Charlotte, and now the board members were not on her side. She stood no chance fighting this battle alone, but she also could not let these people take advantage of her!She arrived at Zane’s room door. After thinking for a moment, she gently knocked.A coughing sound came from inside, and Penny instantly felt guilty.She had promised to make the company better, but due to her impulsiveness, the company was now targeted.“Come in,” Zane said, pausing to catch his breath.Penny walked in and sat beside the bed.“Dad, I want to sell my shares.”Zane’s eyelashes quivered, and after a minute of silence, he replied, “Do as you wish, cough cough.”“I’m sorry.”“What are yo

    Jeremy smiled at Penny, and his tone was light when he spoke.“I was just joking. I’m more than willing to help.”Penny, her mouth stuffed with a piece of steak, sat back down.She started chewing slowly.Jeremy was genuinely impressed by her. She remained unshaken even under Caleb’s intense pressure.Charlotte, who stood next to Caleb, also felt a bit pressured. She nervously called out, “Caleb?”Caleb’s hands, which were hanging at his side, stiffened before slowly relaxing. So Penny was that kind of woman.Winston was right. She had low morals. If she could play with him, she could play with others.In that moment, he felt both relieved and somewhat unwilling to let go.She clearly did not like him, or else she would not have tried to kiss Jeremy.He remembered their previous game of Truth or Dare. She seemed to have chosen Jeremy back then as well.Without saying a word, he cast Penny a cold glance and walked away.Charlotte did not immediately follow. She glared at P

    Caleb suddenly felt furious. He grabbed Penny and shoved her into the car.Penny’s back had already been hurt when he pressed her against a tree the previous night, and her throat was somewhat hoarse. With this sudden shove, she felt like her internal organs were about to spill out.Caleb leaned over her, gripping her chin tightly.Penny looked at him, not dodging his grip. She spoke in a puzzled tone.“Why are you angry, Mr. Fergerson?”Caleb stared at her face for a long time before finally letting out a light chuckle.“Do you think I’m jealous?”Penny did not answer.Caleb then let go of her chin and started to unbutton her clothes.“Now, for the sixth time.”Yet before he could undo the first button, he noticed marks hidden under her thin shirt.The lighting was dim, so he could not see clearly, but those looked like love bites.His fingers paused, then he grabbed her wrist and shoved her out of the car.“Get out.”Penny nearly tripped. If not for her quick reflexes,

    Penny had already transferred her 35% of shares to Winona overnight.This was part of her plan. Otherwise, Honeywell would realize that these shares were transferred from her. When it came time to sign the contract, they would immediately realize that something was amiss.Before implementing this plan, Penny was actually taking a gamble. She could not think of anyone else to rely on. Currently, the only person available was Winona.If Winona ran off with these 35% of shares, it would not matter because Penny had also signed a significant contract with Jeremy. However, she had not disclosed the details of this contract to anyone yet.The people at Honeywell had been completely dazzled by the 35% of shares. Someone immediately informed Charlotte.“Ms. Shaw, if we can acquire these 35% of shares, it means we’ve successfully acquired Zaeve. From then on, you’ll have full control over Zaeve. You will be the newly appointed CEO.”Charlotte’s eyes were filled with triumph. In reality, C

From now on, she was no longer the CEO of the company. With Charlotte holding 51% of the shares, even if all the remaining shareholders united, they would not have more shares than Charlotte.The company now belonged to Charlotte.Penny glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only 3:00 pm.As soon as the share transfer was successful, Charlotte went directly to Sullivan Corporation.Meanwhile, Honeywell officially announced that they had successfully acquired Zaeve and released the shareholder data.People in the industry who were following this war knew very well that this was a war between two women.Everyone thought it would be

    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. "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.

    Ethan's gaze fell on Penny, and his brows furrowed. His good upbringing prevented him from making any sarcastic remarks at this moment.After all, Penny was alone on her side. On the contrary, they had strength in numbers. Khloe was just discharged from the hospital today and was planning to welcome friends who had come all the way from Americana to see her.Seeing Penny alone, she felt a surge of satisfaction.Given her status as Ms. Strauss, she had many friends in Americana and would never be as isolated as Penny.She had specifically called Linda over, knowing Linda's temper was explosive.
