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
Caleb’s originally overjoyed mood immediately vanished, and his aura turned visibly frosty. Then, he turned to look out the window. “Let’s return to the hotel.” After returning to the hotel, Caleb had just finished showering when his doorbell rang. He opened the door and saw the lobby manager standing with a small box in his arms. “A maid from Dawn Haven Villa asked me to pass this to you, Mr. Fergerson. This box contains the belongings you left at Dawn Haven Villa.” Caleb noticed the box holding his possessions looked extremely cheap. It seemed to not cost more than 20 dollars. His eyebrows knitted themselves together as a disgusted look flashed through his eyes. “Throw it away.” The lobby manager was stunned, but when he realized Caleb was losing his temper, he hurriedly nodded. After Caleb closed the door, he took his phone out and scrolled through it. He deleted Penny’s personal number from his call history when he saw it. After all, he would not have anything to do
Penny felt a bit annoyed with Caleb and thought to herself, 'What does it have to do with you?'[Yeah, he makes me feel so warm. Goodnight, Mr. Fergerson.]Caleb’s fingertips paused in frustration when he saw her reply.After she sent the text, Penny shut down her phone and headed straight to Dawn Haven Villa.Even though there was a two-hour delay, she slept comfortably on the large bed in the master bedroom.Caleb, on the other hand, did not sleep a wink that night.The next morning, Penny headed to the office. After she had completed her morning tasks, she decided to call Sir Fergerson.Francis was still at the hospital, but a trace of relief appeared in his eyes when he saw her call."Penny."He coughed a little just as he uttered her name.Penny hurriedly apologized, "Grandpa Fergerson, I'm sorry."She had been giving Sir Fergerson hope, making him believe he would soon hold his great-grandson. However, the marriage ended so quickly."You don't need to apologize. I'l
Penny was about to ask Laura how Mason had not suspected anything despite her spending so much money. However, at that moment, her phone buzzed with a message from Caleb.The text consisted of just two words.[The ring.]She immediately felt irritated and called the police to report a theft in her house. She instructed them to contact the owner of the missing item, Caleb, directly.Caleb was still waiting for Penny's response when he received a call from the police. They inquired about the appearance and estimated value of the missing ring.His expression turned grim as he spoke to the police officer. He handed the call over to Sebastian and dialed Penny's number.Penny was chatting with Laura at the time. She had already consumed a bit of alcohol, and her mood grew even more troubled when she realized that he was not about to give up."Mr. Fergerson."Laura looked over with curiosity upon hearing that name.As soon as Caleb heard Penny's voice, his anger seemed to dissipate
