Chapter 508 Don't You Enjoy Seeing Me In Such A Sorry State?

Author: Twin Bridge
Penny had been terribly frightened earlier. She had now calmed down somewhat, and her voice was slightly hoarse.

"Mr. Fergerson, are you satisfied now?"

Her words detonated a bomb that had been buried in Caleb's heart.

He was still holding the ointment in his hand. He looked up before he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Mr. Fergerson, don't you enjoy seeing me in such a sorry state?"

Her tone returned to its usual calmness as she gave a wry smile. "As you wish."

Penny was curled up, her arching feet taut. Her entire body was in a state of alertness.

Caleb got up and looked down at her.

Only then did he notice that her neck had a reddish mark. He wondered what had caused it.

He had intended to throw a temper, but his anger seemed to vanish when he saw her in that state.

He threw the ointment aside. "Take the medicine and get out."

Penny got up, grabbed the medicine from the bed, and prepared to leave without a word.

As she rose, Caleb’s body became tense. He observed her as she

    "I see." Caleb replied calmly and withdrew his hand before he said, "You can leave now."The doctor felt somewhat puzzled as he could tell at first glance that Caleb cared about Penny. He wondered how someone like Caleb, the CEO of Fergerson Corporation, could not recognize his own feelings.Nonetheless, he dared not say anything and left.Caleb remained downstairs as he did not feel like going anywhere. He did not want to meet with Winston or Finn while his face was in this condition as he knew that he would be ridiculed.He sat there until around five in the morning when he had finally cooled down. He decided to return to his room.The room was quiet when he pushed the door open.Caleb assumed Penny had gone home as she could easily leave through the underground parking lot.However, as he changed in the bedroom, he noticed a lump on the bed. He paused where he was.He thought to himself, ‘This is my room. I was driven away while this woman slept here comfortably for the wh

    "I have something else to attend to tonight." Winston thought he had misheard. It was Quentin's welcome dinner, after all. The four of them had always been close friends. Caleb would never miss it because of something.He pondered for a moment and then cautiously asked, "Could it be that someone hit you and left some marks on you? Are you too embarrassed to come?"Winston was truly no wasted talent when it came to screenwriting. He could guess the correct answer in a snap. Caleb took a deep breath and hung up the phone without a word.Winston burst into laughter.

    Moreover, Levi had always used dirty tactics. When he was younger, he was too aggressive and had caused trouble. It was the Fergersons who paid to cover it up, but he almost got whipped to death by the old man.Such a person could serve as a knife in Charlotte's hands.Wherever she pointed, Levi would strike.“Sure. We haven't seen each other in a long time.”After hanging up the phone, a malicious smile spread across Charlotte’s face.She thought to herself, ‘I’d like to see how Penny escapes this one. She thinks she can seduce Caleb without considering the consequences!’At that moment, Penny was unaware of Charlotte’s plans. She called Zach, informing him that she had become an investor.Zach, who was already packing to move to Astral Motion Pictures, was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.“Zach, I’ve partnered with Winston Hill. He chose you as the lead.”Zach was momentarily speechless, dropping the bag he was holding.The sleeping pills inside were scattered everyw

    Penny saw that Francis was in a really bad condition, so she walked over and began massaging his shoulders and neck.“Sir Fergerson, I learned a massage technique online. Let me give it a try. It’s supposed to relax your muscles.”What Francis loved most about Penny was her straightforwardness in everything she did. She did not have any hidden intentions.He put down the chess piece he was holding. “Alright, alright. If only Caleb could be as understanding as you, I’d be content.”Caleb was raised by Francis, so Francis knew him well.Caleb was a child who had achieved greatness in his teens, so he was arrogant and ruthless.Penny stood behind the old man and gently began the massage.Francis sighed.“Caleb has a bad temper. Although he doesn’t speak much, when pushed to the edge, he’s capable of doing anything.”She paused her movements, wondering about the extent of what 'anything' meant.Raising his hand, Francis patted hers affectionately.“Whenever you feel wronged, rem

    After driving back to Dawn Haven Villa, she planned to rest there for the entire week.Over at Sullivan Corporation, Winona was overseeing things and would report any anomalies to her. The TV show she invested in with Winston required time, so she could first focus on her recovery.…In Sky Lounge, Winston leaned on Quentin’s shoulder and gossiped with him mysteriously.“Caleb isn’t coming tonight.”Quentin was taken aback. After all, he had given advance notice about his return a month ago. Regardless of the circumstances, everyone should have made the time.“What happened to him?”Winston perked up.“You might not be aware since you’ve been abroad, but recently, he’s taken a liking to a married woman and has become her secret lover. But she doesn’t seem keen on divorcing.”Quentin raised an eyebrow, studying Winston from head to toe.Everyone knew Winston was a screenwriter, notorious for exaggerating.“Winston, are you talking about Caleb Fergerson?

    After hanging up the phone, Caleb stared at the pile of documents in front of him, unable to focus on a single word.The thought of another man being by Penny's side tonight was unbearable.Returning to the hotel and lying in bed, he could still smell her fragrance on the sheets.It enveloped him from all sides, permeating every pore.Caleb found himself unable to sleep. He got up in his pajamas and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking.The window in the corner was open, and the breeze that wafted in made his hair sway slightly.With a cigarette between his fingers, he felt as if even the wind carried her scent.The memory of pinning her against this window, her look of fear yet undeniable reliance on him, was tantalizing.Caleb’s expression changed instantly. Initially, he was just holding the cigarette lightly with his lips. Now, he bit down on it, as if trying to suppress the surging emotions within.He took out his phone and sent Penny a message: ​[Asleep?]Those

    After ending the call, her breathing was rapid, yet her mind was eerily calm.The thought that dominated her mind was that if her hand was permanently damaged, she truly did not want to live anymore.Someone honked twice, and Penny, trembling from the pain, saw someone approaching. It was Laura.The next second, Laura’s voice rang out.“Penny!”Laura was horrified, especially when she saw Penny’s two fingers. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she could not even utter a curse.For someone who painted, hands were everything. Who could have done such a thing?“I’ll take you to the hospital now! Quentin Parker’s back. He’s a doctor, an exceptional surgeon. He’ll know what to do.”To have fingers bent in such a way and to expect a full recovery, they would need the best doctor.Laura was trembling all over, knowing full well the importance of painting to Penny.To ruin her hand was akin to ruining most of her life.Penny remained silent, even when Laura helped her into the car.

    Penny’s body was trembling from the pain. In the hallway, Laura was imploring her father to urgently contact Quentin.She was not close to Quentin, and calling him directly might not yield any favors. Only her father had that influence.Laura’s father had tried reaching Quentin but then relayed the news, “It seems that Charlotte from the Shaw family has also been injured. Quentin is attending to her first. Once he’s done there, he’ll come back to us.”Infuriated, Laura retorted, “Is Charlotte Shaw’s injury more severe than Penny’s?! That bitch is probably just faking it!"After her outburst, she heard her father reprimanding her, “I’ve told you before, you need to control your temper. You’re becoming more reckless with your words every day.”Tears welled up in Laura’s eyes.“Dad, Penny uses that hand to paint. If she can’t recover, her talent will be wasted.”“Let's wait. If you insist on having Quentin personally treat her, then we must wait for him to finish with the Shaws fir

    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
