She was never moved, so what did that make of him who had unilaterally fallen for her?At that moment, he was merciless.“Don’t overestimate yourself.”A hint of bitterness flashed in Penny's eyes, but in an instant, she pushed him away.“The ten times are over, and since neither of us are interested in one another, let's not play these forceful games.”She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, not sparing him a glance.“And trying to kiss me while looking out for your beloved? Mr. Fergerson, you’re truly disgustingly fickle.”Caleb froze, feeling as though her words today were laced with poison.They hurt, as if they had caused holes in his heart. Was all this really necessary?All he had asked was how much compensation she wanted. Even if she had asked for 100 million or 200 million, he could have provided it.With that money, she could live a carefree life for the rest of her days, buy several mansions in Imperial City, and not have to squeeze into The Rosarium w
Turning around, Penny entered the Dawn Haven Villa.Aurelia nearly fell over. Had it not been for a maid beside her to support her, she would have surely fainted there.After being helped into the car, she could not resist calling Caleb.However, at that moment, Caleb was taking a shower in the hotel and did not answer.Inside the car, Aurelia went ballistic, cursing at both Maeve and Penny.Meanwhile, inside Dawn Haven Villa, Penny calmly sat at the dining table.Lucy brought her a cup of tea to cool her temper.“Ms. Sullivan, don’t be sad. Even after you divorce Mr. Fergerson, I’ll still be here to serve you.”Penny’s eyelashes quivered as she lowered her head to sip the tea.Aunt Lucy sighed deeply.“With both Ms. Bailey and Madam Yvette detesting you so much, even if Mr. Fergerson is excellent, marrying into this family will only bring you unhappiness. If you were my granddaughter, I wouldn’t want you to dive into this mess either. "It’s good that you're getting a divor
The car quickly arrived at the cemetery. The burial had to be done before sunset, and it was best to have everything done by noon.The staff was already waiting for her. Dressed in black, she held the urn in her arms and approached the chosen grave.The priest saw her, nodded in greeting, and guided her to start throwing flowers inside the grave.After prayers, she placed the urn in the center.As she straightened up, she took care to see if it was placed steadily.The priest then directed them to cover the urn with a silver cloth, which was a sign of respect for the deceased and symbolized peace.From beginning to end, Penny quietly followed the instructions. Her tears had long since stopped flowing.However, as she placed the burial items one by one, her eyes grew hot.Ten minutes later, the priest asked her if he could seal the tomb.Penny took a deep breath, revealing a smile that looked worse than crying.“Seal it.”The burial was over.Penny had prepared fresh flowers
After Caleb hung up, Charlotte took a deep breath and said to the Shaws present, “Caleb has agreed to invest three billion in Honeywell. Now, continue negotiating with the people outside Honeywell’s building and make sure to send them away as soon as possible. "In half a month, after we sign with Fergerson Corporation, Honeywell will be revived.”There was a collective sigh of relief from the crowd, and they immediately began to negotiate with the people on-site.Charlotte smirked and sent Penny another message.[Caleb’s promised to invest three billion into Honeywell so that we won’t go bankrupt. Poor Ms. Sullivan, having worked so hard in vain only to be defeated by a wave of her husband’s fingers.]By the time Penny received this message, she had already arrived at Dawn Haven Villa.At the same time, she had received a call from the spokesperson of the group of homeowners, the professor.“Ms. Penny, Honeywell is willing to compensate each of us 1.5 million dollars. Should we
As expected, Charlotte unhesitatingly threw Daisy’s son under the bus.The scandal Daisy caused back at Imperial University long ago made her a stain on the Shaws’ reputation. Even when Aurelia accused Caleb before, she brought up Daisy’s issue.With Daisy removed from her position, she became useless to the Shaws.Thus, the person to take the blame this time was naturally her son.Not to mention, Daisy only had one son.She initially planned to take revenge on Penny as she blamed her for everything she lost at Imperial University.However, before she could rise again, her own family threw her son into the fire without hesitation.“Charlotte, Charlotte! I beg you, don’t send my son over. This will lead to imprisonment!”Charlotte smiled, but there was no warmth in her eyes.“Aunt, it’s not my fault. Caleb told us to handle this. This way, the Shaws’ companies won’t go bankrupt. Everyone voted, and your son received the most votes. Aunt, think about it. As long as the Shaws’
“Caleb, it’s impossible to fake fingerprints. There are no two identical fingerprints in the world. The machine gave us this result, which means Cas is still alive and is in Capital City. For some reason, he didn’t meet with you.”Caleb’s breathing quickened again. Then, he heard Finn suppress his excitement as he said, “I’m coming over now. We’ll discuss the details face to face.”Caleb then sat in his office, waiting for Finn.Finn arrived quickly, bringing the test report with him. “Now, we just need to track where this notebook was during the past three days.”Caleb rubbed his temples, feeling a mix of emotions.“Finn, let’s keep this between us for now.”He was worried it might be a false hope.After all, even if Caspian was still alive, he had not made contact in six years. Either he could not or something else had happened.In any case, the situation was complicated.Finn nodded, suggesting Caleb call Charlotte for a talk.Charlotte, having not slept all night, looked
He quickly sent the address, not wasting a moment.By then, Penny had already arrived at the private room. She knocked and, upon entering, found a row of middle-aged men seated inside, each accompanied by a female companion.Middle-aged men, when indulgent in wine and women, often appeared sleazy. It made an unpleasant sight.Penny frowned but then spotted Joseph Cooper seated in the middle.He was the one she came to meet that night.Joseph’s previous TV show had gained some popularity online. Many wanted to invest in him now. He had initially wanted to decline Penny’s offer, but his eyes lit up when he saw the beautiful woman enter. The woman he was holding suddenly seemed dull in comparison.“Mr. Cooper.”Penny called out, and Joseph quickly stood up.“You must be Ms. Penny. Please sit down. When I heard your voice over the phone, I imagined you’d be a beauty!”All eyes in the room turned to her.Every industry had its cliques. The people in the room were all friends with
Penny froze on the spot, momentarily in shock.Luckily, just in the nick of time, Liam rushed in from outside and blocked the vase.“Caleb, if you hit him again, he’ll die.“Penny, quickly come and stop him.”Liam was frantic as he grabbed the vase.Only then did Penny approach Joseph and test his breathing by placing her finger under his nose.His breath was faint. Forget about directing in the future, it seemed he would not even be able to get up.She felt her efforts that night were in vain.She took a deep breath and quickly dialed 911.Meanwhile, Caleb looked at her with a deep, intense gaze.Penny frowned, about to say something. However, he grabbed her wrist and they left the place.Liam stayed behind to clean up the mess. He sighed heavily. He quickly contacted some people to clear out the bar within five minutes.Once outside, Penny pulled away from Caleb’s grip.Angry, Caleb pushed her against a nearby tree. “So just anyone will do for you? Don’t you have any sha
