“Mr. Tate, since this contract was signed in the past, can it be invalidated?”Charlotte knew that saying this was indeed a bit shameless, but the thought of inheriting a debt of three billion right after taking over Sullivan Corporation was unbearable.She had already spent hundreds of millions since the acquisition and had not made a penny yet. Moreover, selling off Sullivan Corporation to pay the debt would still leave her in the hole by 1.5 billion.The Shaw family could not afford that much money.The money she could spend had basically been exhausted in these few days.First was the painting, which she had reluctantly purchased to win Yvette’s favor. However, it only ended up embarrassing both of them.Second was the acquisition of the company. She had invested a lot of her own money, even owing some to the Shaw family.If other members of the Shaw family found out, there would definitely be an uproar. She would face countless ridicule, and the Shaw family would be in turm
He sat on the sofa, opening his laptop with one hand. There had been some issues with the overseas branch of the company, and he needed to personally go abroad to sort it out.He estimated that he would have to leave the country within two days, so he needed to work overtime to complete Fergerson Corporation’s pending documents.Charlotte found it hard to speak. After all, she had said in the morning that the Sullivans were no match for her. Now, she found herself seeking his help. She hesitated and even began to wonder if all of this was a trap set by Penny.If it was, how foolish she must have been to fall for it.When she was proudly boasting to Penny via text messages, Penny must have been laughing at her for being an idiot.The thought of this was simply unbearable.She had actually been played by a nobody!How embarrassing!It was even more embarrassing than what happened that night!Tears instantly fell from her eyes. Right now, she was not concerned about causing tro
”Penny, what do you plan to do next?”Penny smiled, seemingly unaffected by Caleb’s call.“Charlotte gave me 300 million, and I used 150 million to buy the remaining 44% of shares. Now, I have another 150 million left. I’ll use that to buy back the 51% of shares that she holds.”Hearing this, Jeremy thought Charlotte had messed with the wrong person by going after Penny.Not only did Charlotte make a fool of herself, but she also helped Penny secure more shares in the company. The shares just went around, and eventually almost 100% of them would land back in Penny’s lap. In essence, the company would become solely hers.Those who sold their shares to Penny made money from Charlotte’s pocket.Penny did not spend a dime in all of this and came out on top.Even Jeremy, who helped her, ended up with Caleb owing him a favor.Jeremy’s heart became a little hot. The more he looked at Penny, the more pleasing she appeared.Penny then instructed Winona to contact Honeywell and offer 15
He glanced at Caleb, who was sitting in the office chair.As Winston’s script had previously received investment from Fergerson Corporation and the company had decided to venture into the entertainment industry, Winston came today to meet the director hired by Fergerson Corporation and to see Caleb.“You’ve got quite a powerful person in your backyard.”At that moment, Caleb was on a call with his overseas office. He signaled Winston to find a seat for himself.Seeing that Caleb was busy, Winston remained silent and sat down on a sofa nearby.However, Caleb’s call lasted for two hours. He kept issuing orders to the other side, his brows deeply furrowed.Sebastian also came in from outside.“Sir, the plane will depart in three hours.”Caleb put down his phone and rubbed his forehead.“Have all the senior executives over there wait for me.”Sebastian nodded and started gathering some files on the side.Only then did Caleb look at Winston. “What were you saying earlier?”Winst
She set aside the item she had purchased and rubbed Nani’s head a couple of times before returning to Dawn Haven Villa.It seemed as if Lucy knew she would be back tonight. She asked if she wanted some late-night snacks.Penny actually quite liked Dawn Haven Villa. The environment was great, and the villa was so exclusive that even money could not easily buy it.It was clear how much Sir Fergerson must have liked her to gift her this villa.However, she shook her head. She was not in the mood to eat at the moment.Returning to her room, she opened the box she had hidden in her cabinet.There was an empty notebook, a letter, and a ring.Everything was still there.She did not know why she had such a strong intuition that those people might have come looking for these items.What else could they be after?She closed the box and looked at the pregnancy test she had bought, feeling anxious.It took her ten minutes of mental preparation before she entered the bathroom.The waiti
It felt like lightning had struck her brain. She immediately took out her phone and snapped a photo of the pregnancy test.That wench!She had warned her not to have any ideas, yet she had actually gone and slept with Caleb!She took a deep breath and quickly dialed Caleb’s number.However, it was Sebastian who answered. He had accompanied Caleb abroad, and Caleb was in a meeting that would last the entire day.“Yes, Madam Bailey?”“Sebastian, hand the phone to Caleb. I have something to ask him.”Sebastian frowned but continued to show patience.“Madam Bailey, the meeting can’t be interrupted. It will end in about four hours.”Aurelia could not wait even a minute.She made another call to Charlotte to probe her.“Charlotte, do you know if Caleb and Penny have been intimate?”Charlotte, already in a bad mood, became hysterical upon hearing Penny’s name.“How could Caleb ever touch her? He said he never did and that he’d definitely divorce her.”Aurelia felt reassured.Pe
Penny felt groggy, but she was not completely unconscious.When the car stopped at the hospital, she knew Aurelia was serious. Aurelia was dragging her to the hospital for a forced abortion!She clutched the car’s handle tightly, refusing to get out.However, the two bodyguards were merciless, forcibly prying her fingers open.Penny bit one of the men’s hands. Summoning strength from somewhere, she started to run.Even so, she had inhaled the substance on the handkerchief and was feeling weak. She only managed to run about a hundred meters before she was drenched in sweat.More overwhelming than the exhaustion was the panic that enveloped her.She took out her phone and immediately dialed Caleb’s number.Even though the arrival of this child was unexpected, under no circumstances could she be forced to have an abortion.What did they think of her?As she ran clumsily, she continued to dial Caleb’s number.Even if she had to reveal her identity now, she had to keep this child
She knew very well that if she asked Aurelia to call Sir Fergerson, Aurelia would definitely refuse.However, if she could call Caleb and explain the situation to him...Perhaps, just perhaps, Caleb might want to keep the child.Even if that hope was extremely faint.Aurelia frowned and lifted her chin.“Take her in. I’ve already scheduled the surgery.”“Madam Bailey…”Aurelia’s tone was quite indifferent.“Penny, what makes you think that calling Caleb will make him let you keep the child? Did he ever say he liked you?”Penny was suddenly at a loss for words.She did not have the strength to argue anymore. Her body was weak, and she could barely stand.They walked through a secret passage. Using the influence of the Fergersons, Aurelia had her sent directly to the operating room.Afraid that Penny might create a scene, Aurelia ordered the doctor to fully sedate her.The doctor, who had cooperated with the Fergersons for many years, obeyed Aurelia’s instructions without qu
