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

    Failing to gain the upper hand, Leilani's chest started heaving heavily. People were coming and going in this place. Having experienced Penny’s sharp tongue, Leilani knew that if they continued to confront each other, she would be the only one losing her dignity. Thus, she turned to the person next to her and changed the subject.“You’ve always wanted to know who won the Kensington Gardens’ project, no? She's right here. But the means she employed to get the project weren't very honorable.”Jeremy had heard their conversation clearly just now, and a hint of interest flashed in his narrow eyes.“And you’re this beautiful too, huh?”He reached out his hand. There was a lazy smile on his handsome face and a hint of wickedness in his eyes. “Hello, my name’s Jeremy Tate. You should've heard of me before.”Penny had indeed heard of him as designers in this field occasionally exchanged industry information. Although she rarely communicated with others, she still looked at other people’

    Penny walked into the art building where the art exhibition was held. Her attire made her look bright and fresh as she mingled among a group of businesspeople. She was especially eye-catching.She looked around and immediately spotted her target in the crowd—Wilson Jenners, the CEO of Zatan Tech.“Mr. Jenners, I’m so sorry. Am I late?”She walked over gracefully and shook hands with Wilson.Several school leaders were also gathered around Wilson. This year, he was said to sponsor all electronic equipment for the microcomputer course at Imperial University and donate 100,000 air conditioners.Wilson was wearing a suit, but he did not show the shrewdness of a businessman. Instead, he displayed a sense of openness and magnanimity that was unique to his age. He had no extra accessories on his wrist, but his toned body made him look more spirited than most people.“Ms. Penny, you finally made it. I thought you had forgotten.”Penny had previously designed a house for him, and they ha

    Penny squinted her eyes. She had forgotten about the video.Daisy thought she finally had Penny in her grasp when she saw her remain silent. “Mr. Tate often asks about you.”Daisy wiped the water off her cheek and sneered, “You’re just a small-time designer now. If Mr. Tate finds out about your whereabouts, will he come knocking on your door? After all, he regretted not having you back then, and he’s been thinking about you for a long time.”As soon as she said this, Penny merely said, “Isn’t it just a video anyway?”Before Daisy could respond, Penny pushed her into a cubicle.Daisy, who was 35, was not as physically fit as Penny. She fell heavily to the ground.“Penny Sullivan! What are you trying to do?!”Penny did not answer her but opened the toilet lid. Holding onto Daisy’s head with one hand, she then shoved her head inside.She did not forget to take out her phone to record the scene.The school’s toilets were not always clean and disinfected, and Daisy could smell th

    Penny accompanied Wilson for another walk, and he was even more satisfied with her explanations.There was another reason why he asked Penny here today, and that was he thought of being a matchmaker for her.“Do you know Mr. Tate from Three-S Corporation? His son is also in the design industry. I heard he’s somewhat famous and around your age. How about I introduce you two to each other? You’ll be in the same circle in the future, so you'll surely have common topics to talk about. What do you think?”Penny was just about to refuse when she heard Wilson adding, “Speak of the devil. Jer, did you come to see the art exhibition today too?”She followed his gaze and saw Jeremy a few steps away.His expression had already returned to normal at this moment, and he walked over with a smile. “Uncle Wilson, if you had told me earlier that you were coming, I would’ve definitely come to be your tour guide.”Jeremy looked at Penny standing next to Wilson, his eyes gleaming.“Is Penny the des

    Selina had a smug look on her face and looked down on Penny with contempt.However, Penny only found it funny.“A student of this school is slandering me, and as a leader, you can't be bothered to investigate the truth of the matter and are itching to kick me out? Is this how the school handles things, Ms. Shaw? There are many investors here today. Can you take responsibility for this?”Daisy’s face froze.Indeed, there were many investors among the art exhibition’s visitors. If this matter became big, it would not be good for the school’s image.Selina, on the other hand, relentlessly raised her neck. “Investors are well aware of what’s right and wrong. They should know that this is not the school’s fault. The school should uphold justice and set an example for students. You stole my bracelet, so punishing you will only uphold the school’s principles even more. Don’t use investors to pressure us. Ms. Shaw, I think we can kick her out now.”Selina was not afraid at all. After all

    The principal’s face froze. When he turned and looked, sure enough, Caleb was a few feet away from him. At this moment, the expression on his face was faint and revealed nothing.As soon as Caleb arrived, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.Jade was standing beside him, and she winked over at Penny.No one knew how anxious she was when she saw Penny being harassed. Fortunately, her cousin also came today. Otherwise, she really would not have known how to end this dispute.Selina was a member of the Sanders family and a prominent figure in the school. With Penny being just a small-time designer, she was definitely no match for her opponent. Jade had to call for reinforcements.The atmosphere was a bit awkward at the moment, and the principal did not know how to explain it for a while, but Penny continued to ask.“Since everyone has to register, then everyone who’s present at the exhibition right now should be treated equally, right?

    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
