Penny cried so hard that her entire body trembled, but he was exceptionally rough with her.Help!Could anyone come save her?!It really hurt!Such humiliation…Who on earth was doing this to her?Was it Andy?Or someone Joseph knew?This cheap perfume scent could not possibly be Caleb’s.Tears flooded her eyes, soaking the blindfold.However, Caleb turned her over, refusing to look at her face.Even when she passed out, he did not let go.For two full days, without food or water, he tormented her relentlessly.Initially, she could cry, but eventually, she just curled up. She tensed up every time she sensed the man approaching.Blinded, she had no concept of how much time had passed.It was only when Caleb felt his rage subside that he released her. He never once removed the blindfold from her eyes.Then, he had someone bathe the unconscious Penny and had her delivered back to The Rosarium.Penny woke up at 8:00 pm, feeling feverish all over.She opened her eyes to se
Penny was exhausted. She changed her shoes at the entrance and intended to head to her bedroom.Her eyes were still swollen, and her walk was a bit unnatural.Caleb looked at her and stood up. “Penny.”Penny simply did not have the energy to deal with him anymore. She entered her bedroom and lay down on the bed.Caleb followed her in but stood at the doorway, watching her lie motionless.He approached, hesitated for a minute, and then gently touched her head.Her hair still had not grown out much. It spread out around her. At this moment, she had one hand gripping the bedsheet beneath her tightly.He did not regret having treated her that way. If it were anyone else who nearly caused his death, he would not have given them a chance to explain. That person would silently disappear from the world.Nonetheless, he had only tormented her in bed for two days.He sat by the bed, gently patting her back.Penny’s tears silently flowed as she heard him say, “The drug you gave me the o
Caleb, because of her reaction, remained silent for a long time. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if it had been pricked by a needle.Moreover, that so-called confession of his was brushed off with a light, “Mr. Fergerson, stop joking.”He had lived for nearly 24 years and had never felt such humiliation.Without saying a word, he left.He went downstairs, got into his car, and headed to meet up with Winston and Finn.Since he was getting divorced the next day, Winston had planned a small gathering for him. It was to congratulate him on returning to single status.Caleb did not think it was necessary. In his eyes, he had always been single.After he entered the private room, Winston immediately started gossiping.“You disappeared with Penny for three days. Tell me, is she still alive?”Caleb remained silent, a dark cloud seeming to loom over him.Winston immediately suspected that Penny might have been done away with for real.In all the years they had known Caleb, they
Confusion clouded Caleb’s eyes, but he still grasped the essence of what Winston was saying.He set down the glass of wine he was holding, his lips faintly pursed.“I offered her 100 million, but she tore up the check and threw it in my face. I only asked her to accompany me for a month. Did she think she was at a loss?”Winston stifled a laugh, finding it hard to picture such a scene. However, it did seem like something Penny would do.He quickly raised his glass.“Anyway, you’re getting divorced tomorrow. Sir Fergerson probably won’t care who you like in the future. Go and apologize to Penny yourself. She must have been terrified today. Remember, women need to be pampered. If you don’t do it, someone else will.”As for who that 'someone else' might be, both of them knew all too well.After all, Caleb was only a manstress.However, it seemed he did not possess the awareness typical of such a role.When it was around three in the morning, Penny, while asleep, heard the doorbel
She clenched her fingers into a fist when she felt him trying to slide the diamond ring onto her finger. Caleb frowned, seemingly forgetting that he was supposed to be gentle with her. He forced her fingers apart and shoved the ring on.Penny jerked her hand away. The ring flew through the air in a beautiful curve before it landed on the ground and rolled into a corner.She did not say anything. Caleb did not say anything either. They remained that way for almost three minutes before she shrugged. “I think you might be drunk, Mr. Fergerson.” Caleb was so angry his eyes became red-rimmed. He grabbed her by the chin and kissed her without a second thought.Penny immediately pushed him away and slapped him across the face.He immediately snapped out of his drunken stupor when he heard her say, “I’m not interested in being a mistress.” He placed a hand against his cheek. He had already lost count of how many times she had slapped him. Feelings of anger and aggrievedness w
Her eyes became red-rimmed again, and she closed them briefly. Another half hour passed before she finished reading the letter and put it back where she had taken it out. After sleeping for only a couple more hours, she got out of bed, had breakfast, and got everything she needed. She then drove to the register office to wait. Sir Fergerson called and asked her to give Caleb a couple more minutes. “Alright, Grandpa Fergerson. I’ll wait for Mr. Fergerson right here.” Caleb also received a call from Sir Fergerson. He was hungover, and his head hurt. He had woken up at six in the morning. Initially, he thought that Penny was in the living room, but he did not see her even after looking through the entire house. Had she left during the night so she could avoid him?The glint in his eyes turned even cooler as that thought occurred to him.He was still scowling when he arrived at Fergerson Corporation. After spending the morning sorting through various documents, he received
Caleb was, at that very moment, being subjected to Amber’s blaming. She thought he should not have chosen this time to divorce Penny. However, Aurelia and Yvette were on his side.Hence, the hallway was buzzing with activity. Everyone was discussing whether he should get divorced or not. Aurelia made her stance clear. “If you don’t divorce her today, I’ll ram my head against the wall and get myself admitted into the ER too!” She hated Penny to her core and felt nauseous whenever she remembered that Penny was Maeve’s daughter. After spending so many years in the Fergerson family and bringing Shawn Fergerson two sons, this was what she had been left with!She resented that!Caleb’s eyebrows creased in annoyance as he listened to the three nagging women. Then, his phone notified him of Penny’s message. That only intensified his hatred of her. His grandfather had treated her decently and was even planning on giving her 50 million dollars. Yet, all she could think about now
Penny got in her car and drove off after finishing her sentence, leaving Charlotte standing in a cloud of exhaust. Charlotte was so angry she nearly lost her mind.It did not matter, though. The two were divorced now, and given how stubborn Penny was, there was no way she would forgive Caleb!Haha, how wonderful!Penny returned to Dawn Haven Villa and tossed the document into a nearby drawer. She could not be bothered to spare it a second glance. Lucy had been waiting for her at home. When she saw Penny returning alone, she could not stop herself from asking, “Has the divorce been finalized, Ms. Sullivan?” Penny nodded and summoned a maid over. “Pack up all of Caleb’s stuff and bring it to his hotel room. I’ll write down which room he’s staying in for you guys.” Since this was her mansion, she did not need to keep her ex-husband’s things there. She wanted all the space in the master bedroom for herself!Lucy heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great to hear. Should I let Nan
