Chapter 559 She Thinks Too Highly Of Herself

Author: Twin Bridge
Caleb was seated in the office of Fergerson Corporation while Sebastian updated him on the meetings scheduled for the upcoming week.

"Mr. Hill's script has been in production for a month now, and about a third of it is complete. Multiple directors have reached out in hopes of securing investment from Fergerson Corporation. Mr. Fergerson, I've shortlisted a few suitable options for your review."

Sebastian placed a stack of files in front of him. Caleb glanced at them briefly before he set them aside. He then asked, "Did you send those two pairs of shoes to her?"

He thought to himself, ‘She didn’t even bother to thank me for them?’

"Yes, they've been delivered. I instructed the courier to leave them outside her apartment, but she wasn't home during the delivery, so the shoes were placed in the communal mailbox."

The communal mailbox was quite large, originally meant for storing letters and packages. Typically, homeowners would check it when they returned home each day.

    Winston was talkative, but Caleb, who stood next to him, maintained his icy demeanor. Winston noticed that Caleb was ignoring him, so he turned his attention forward. He spotted someone who was getting her invitation checked and elbowed Caleb."That back view is stunning. She's way better than your interior designer."Indeed, Penny's back view was captivating, or more accurately, she looked stunning from every angle.Her body had just the right proportions. She was slim where she needed to be and had curves in all the right places. Her shoulder blades, the curve of her waist, and her graceful, fluid lines, combined with the diamond necklace, created an enchanting and captivating image.Winston did not recognize her, but Caleb only needed a glance.Caleb would have his hand placed on her waist every time he turned her around. He could never resist teasingly kissing her shoulder blades. He knew every inch of her body well. Winston stepped forward, intending to introduce hims

His wandering hands got uncomfortably close to her chest, and she desperately tried to evade his unwanted attention. However, he persisted.Eventually, Penny finally managed to break free from his grasp and quickly settled onto a nearby sofa. Her relief was short-lived as she noticed Charlotte and her group of female companions approaching.A sense of foreboding washed over her.Charlotte pretended to not notice Penny. However, Penny's attire was impossible to ignore. She drew the attention of every other woman in the room. Among Charlotte's group was Tabitha Moore, a recent recipient of a newcomer award. It was likely that she was presented with it because of Charlotte.In their social circle, Charlotte held considerable sway as her status as Caleb's former girlfriend had proven surprisingly advantageous.Tabitha's eyes lit up when she spotted Penny’s distinctive

    Tabitha stood there with an air of haughtiness about her. She wanted to poke Penny's face, especially after she knew Penny was not some high-profile individual.The onlookers just watched. Some of them knew about Tabitha's recent romance with Andy, so they gave her face.Penny could not help but find this situation amusing and thought to herself, ‘Even if I’m wearing a counterfeit dress, what does it have to do with this woman?’Tabitha raged when she saw the smile on Penny’s face. She grabbed a glass of red wine nearby and splashed it onto Penny's chest.Penny could not dodge in time, and the wine flowed down her neck, creating a mess.Arching an eyebrow, Tabitha said, "This fake dress deserves to be ruined!"Penny was infuriated. Right then, she noticed Caleb not far away. He had just come up from the second floor and showed no intention of coming to her rescue.After taking a deep breath, she slapped Tabitha.Tabitha had not expected her to retaliate.

    Penny did not count on Caleb to help her. She took out her phone and intended to call Jeremy Tate but then saw Caleb approaching.The crowd automatically made way for him.People were curious and thought to themselves, ‘Isn't that Mr. Fergerson? What is he doing here? He rarely attends such events nor gets involved with drama between women.’The curious gazes then turned to Charlotte as many began to piece things together. They assumed he was coming over because of Charlotte.However, Charlotte clenched her fists tightly and did not move forward as she knew she would get nothing but humiliation.Caleb walked up to Penny, squinting his eyes as he looked at her.Penny felt as if she were standing there half-naked under his gaze. Just as she furrowed her brows, she heard him ask, "Who were you planning to call?"He knew she was not going to call him.Penny remained silent, and Caleb did not bother to get angry with her. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Andy.Andy's body tensed

    Caleb, seemingly unaware of the potential consequences of his statement, continued to focus his attention on Andy."Mr. Andy, if you have no intention of throwing Penny into the sea, I’m going to leave with her now.’Andy felt as if he had been slapped across the face. Nearby, several of his wealthy friends refrained from intervening as they were well aware of Caleb's reputation. Although they were of similar age to Caleb, their families had taught them from a young age never to cross this man.In the past, the Fergersons had chosen Caspian as their heir. Caspian had a gentle demeanor, but Caleb was an entirely different story. He seldom smiled and would not even let others know when he was upset. Once provoked, he would be unyielding. No amount of pleading or apology would sway him.Andy's eyes were red, yet he forced a faint smile. "Mr. Fergerson, I was just joking with Penny earlier. Please help yourself."Penny could not help but find it amusing when Andy mentioned that

    She turned her cheek away, her fingers without nail polish clenching tightly onto the couch beneath her.The dress had a long hemline that reached just above her ankles when standing. However, it draped down to the floor when seated.Caleb had just thought of pulling down the fabric covering her when the door swung open.Penny was startled and immediately sat up on the couch. She pushed Caleb down and used the dress to cover him entirely.All of that took only a few seconds, and Caleb had not had the time to react.Two A-list celebrities entered. They were chatting and laughing, discussing the antics of the rich heirs from earlier in the evening. They were not surprised when they saw someone inside and just nodded in acknowledgment.Penny's nervousness had her sweating profusely. She watched them head over to the makeup table.They continued to gossip while touching up their makeup."Charlotte has been playing dumb all along.""My friend said that Mr. Fergerson distanced him

    She arrived at the room on the topmost floor and swiped her card to enter.As soon as the door closed, she slowly slid down against it.Her clothes were stained with alcohol, and she looked terribly disheveled. Her legs felt incredibly weak.She covered her face in irritation, only to realize that her face was burning hot. It was probably flushed all the way to her neck.That intense trembling sensation lingered in every cell. She had never been so exhilarated by anyone before. The impact felt like opening the doors to a whole new world.Especially in front of others.That bastard!How could anyone think he was so reserved and noble? He had clearly descended to the level of mere mortals.Penny still could not snap out of her trance. She stayed in that state for half an hour before dragging herself to take a shower and then to bed.She originally came here to meet some big shots in the entertainment industry, but now she felt drained.Perhaps she would go out a bit later.It

    Quentin was indeed curious, so he nodded in agreement.Fast forward to nine in the evening, most of the guests were now just enjoying the view and making casual conversation.Most people would not dine at this hour, especially the celebrities, who were particularly strict about their meal times.Penny changed into a different dress. Recalling how Aunt Lucy had given her four gowns for the trip, she could not help but laugh.At that time, she felt that two would have been enough.She did not expect to ruin one on the first night. If she were to be splashed with wine later, would she have to change again?Pushing the door open, she stepped out into the corridor, only to run into Quentin around the corner.Quentin did not have to engage in social obligations like Caleb and Finn.

    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

This time, success is mandatory. Failure is not an option."Ethan's expression turned grave instantly.

    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?
