“Cough, cough, cough.”She coughed forcefully a few times. There was a hint of vulnerability in her eyes.“If it’s not Charlotte, then it’s Tabitha. I only offended these two people last night.”Jeremy did not offer her water, guessing that she might be afraid of it now.He frowned as he saw Penny pick up her phone from the side. She played a recording sent by Charlotte. It was the conversation she had with Caleb the previous night.She did not lower the volume, so Jeremy heard it clearly. He was so angered that his head felt dizzy.“Damn! Caleb Fergerson is such a fucking piece of shit!“Penny, you should divorce him immediately! Don’t put up with this guy!”Penny remained silent, still feeling uncomfortable in her throat.Jeremy snatched her phone away. “Stop listening! Let those two rot together!”Penny lowered her eyelashes as her hands rested outside the blanket. She was somewhat puzzled.“I’ve always wondered, why does he despise me so much?”Even though she occupied
At Fergerson Corporation, Caleb was temporarily unaware that Penny had taken a screenshot of their chat.She had not replied recently, so he assumed she was still upset about that night.Half an hour later, Sebastian entered with a file while hesitating. It seemed he wanted to say something but was holding back.Frowning, Caleb asked, “Is there an issue with the meeting we’re having later?”“No.”“Did something change with the project?”Sebastian shook his head.Caleb’s expression turned icy instantly.“What is it, then?”Sebastian hesitated for a moment before finally asking, “Mr. Fergerson, do you check your social media?”Caleb never did.“Ms. Penny has asked you not to bother her anymore. She also mentioned that she’s married.”Caleb, still holding a pen, remained silent upon hearing this.Sebastian continued, “She probably won’t divorce. She even screenshotted the dozen or so messages you sent her. Everyone knows now.”Caleb furrowed his brows and took out his phone.
Penny stayed there for two hours, verbally agreeing to Zach’s request to join S.M.She kept observing the extras on set but had not found anyone particularly captivating. Then, she noticed Winston.Winston was earnestly discussing something with the director. After finishing, he approached Penny.“Penny, are you leaving?”Penny nodded, and the two walked toward the exit before stopping in front of Winston’s car. Winston asked, “Caleb hasn’t approached you lately. Having been with him for so long, were you never moved by him?”Moved?Penny had considered this question before, but she was clear about the answer now.Perhaps there were moments of weakness, but those were only due to the passion he provided.“I’ve never been moved. I’m clear about my relationship with Mr. Fergerson.”Winston glanced inside the car and chuckled. “Not even a tiny bit fond of him?”“Mr. Hill, I don’t have a habit of self-torment.”Her tone was indifferent as she checked her phone for the time.“I
Upon leaving the room and arriving in the hallway, the maid pulled Penny aside to inform her of the true situation.“The doctor came for an examination yesterday. At best, he can only hold on for another month. Ms. Sullivan, Mr. Sullivan has been constantly talking about you. He’s lost almost everything now. "Seeing his current pitiful state, I guess he doesn’t want you to witness him like this. Maybe it’s best if you don’t come next time.”The maid was thinking of Zane’s well-being, and Penny understood. As the maid escorted her to the door, she offered another piece of advice.“We wanted to select a burial site for Mr. Sullivan, but he insisted on one chosen by you. You can start buying a plot now. I’m afraid if we delay, it might be too late.”Penny opened her mouth to reply but found herself unable to speak.She nodded with difficulty and felt lightheaded as she left.To make matters worse, her car tire had burst on her way in, likely due to a nail. The nail had completely
All the drivers nearby were stunned. The traffic light changed again, but none of the cars moved.Zane’s car began to smoke and caught on fire. Someone immediately dialed the emergency number, and the scene was chaotic.Tabitha, with bloodshot eyes, had been thrown out by the airbag upon impact. Her chest was pierced by shards of glass, but she was still alive, if just barely.Watching the vehicle quickly become engulfed in flames, she laughed hysterically.“Bitch, die!”Back at her office, Penny felt a persistent unease.She wondered if it was due to the overload of documents and endless meetings, which were making her head spin.At nine in the evening, she received a call from the hospital asking her to come and identify a body.At first, Penny thought they had the wrong person, but then they started reading out the identity card details and name.“Your father was involved in a car accident at seven in the evening. All three people in the car died on the spot.”Zane?Why w
Then, she found out that Honeywell Real Estate faced a significant quality issue along the coast. Structural beams had fractured, and over a hundred homeowners had demanded refunds. However, at that time, the internet was not as developed, and this news was heavily suppressed. Ten years had passed since then, and no one seemed to care about the current state of those homeowners.Penny could only find out that these people did not dare to live in the structurally compromised buildings, and the developers refused to refund them. Their actions were no different than those of robbers.Penny quickly took a flight to the coast and located that residential area. From other homeowners in the vicinity, she got the contact details of over a hundred affected homeowners.For ten years, they had never given up on their rights.One of the homeowners had intended the house as a marital home, paid for by both the bride and groom. However, the house turned out to be uninhabitable, and they lost t
A day and night had passed, and this group had been standing outside the Honeywell building the entire time. Some people brought them food, and there were RVs parked nearby to address their basic needs.Reporters also remained on site, broadcasting live. Honeywell was now at a disadvantage. If anyone from Honeywell dared to drive this group away, it would be suicidal.They could only send representatives to negotiate. This also indicated that what the group claimed was true, especially since they had brought evidence.They had waited for ten years. Of course, their evidence was thorough.Contracts from that time, as well as third-party house inspection reports, were all legally binding. In the face of such undeniable proof, Honeywell Group had no choice but to compensate.Meanwhile, negative reports about Honeywell online continued to grow.This time, Honeywell had crossed the line for many ordinary people.It was either they would burst out of silence or perish within it.Char
After returning to the Shaws' residence, a bodyguard immediately came in to report to Charlotte.“Ms. Shaw, we found out that the person instigating them this time is Penny. At first, the group was reluctant to admit it, but the RVs around and the people delivering food every day were all paid for by Penny.”This matter was traceable.Charlotte’s pupils contracted sharply, and her face turned pale with rage. Could it be Penny who had pushed the Shaws to this extent?She felt utterly humiliated.Having lost to Penny multiple times, any mention of her now made Charlotte uneasy.She then made a call to Caleb.“Caleb, Penny also had a hand in this. Maybe it’s because of the conflict we had at the cruise banquet. But I didn’t cause her any substantial harm. Can't she show some mercy here? "The impact on the Shaws this time is really significant. The stock price is still plummeting. I offended her, but there’s no need to push me to a dead end, right? Can you talk to her about this?”
