The day to sign the agreement with the Shaws was approaching rapidly.Everyone from the Shaws was eagerly waiting, anticipating Caleb’s response.Charlotte was even more anxious, as the birthday gift she had sent to Caleb was returned. This time, Caleb’s attitude seemed rather resolute. It was as if he genuinely wanted to distance himself from her.Realizing this, she felt a burning sensation in her throat.Nonetheless, it was okay as long as Fergerson Corporations invested in Honeywell. Honeywell would be able to weather the crisis.At that moment, Caleb was also waiting for Penny to send him a message.An hour later, Penny sent over a photo that showed a divorce certificate.Upon seeing those two words, a smile immediately bloomed on Caleb’s face.It was faint.He immediately called Penny.“Are you truly divorced?”Penny was at The Rosarium, organizing things. Before, to fake a male presence in the home, she had placed some men’s items around. Now that they were no longer
Silence lingered in the room for a few seconds before Caleb asked, “What do you want?”His handsome, indifferent eyebrows flashed a cold glint. His delicate features were frosty. This time, he did not forcibly pull her over. He was genuinely trying to have a good conversation with her.She pushed a cup of water toward him, her demeanor sincere.“Mr. Fergerson, please propose another condition.”“Be my assistant. Fergerson Corporation has recently been developing its film and television business. I heard from Winston that you're also developing in this direction?”Penny said nothing. Her previous investment in Winston’s film was no secret.Caleb picked up the water she had pushed toward him, twirling the cup between his fingers. The agarwood bracelet on his wrist looked particularly attractive.“You don’t need to submit employment information. From now on, you’ll follow me to Fergerson Corporation, and I’ll pay your salary separately. Using Fergerson Corporation as a backing to g
Caleb had started to understand. When dealing with a woman like Penny, coaxing alone would not work. He needed to use a combination of soft and hard tactics.When he told her they would not need to do it, just kiss, he was taking a step back. She had immediately agreed.She had been married for three years but did not realize that sometimes, kissing could be more torturous than doing it.As Caleb was leaving, Penny walked him to the door.When he was about to enter the elevator, he turned back to remind her of something.“Report to my office this afternoon.”Penny nodded.Just as the elevator door was about to close, his slender hand pressed against it. He held it open to ask another question.“Did you throw away your wedding ring?”Once, she had gotten angry with him over that stupid ring.Now that she was divorced, she should have thrown the ring away, right?Penny, who never had a wedding ring, nodded without hesitation. “I've thrown it away.”A hint of amusement twinkle
Penny had a deep understanding of Daisy’s nature. With her most beloved son in prison, she would surely seek revenge.Therefore, Penny recently had someone follow Daisy. As expected, she discovered that Daisy was investigating something.At this moment, that same piece of information was brought in front of Penny. She never expected that Charlotte was actually not a Shaw.Now, the Shaws were indeed in chaos.At this moment, Charlotte stood in the center of the other Shaws, feeling the surrounding gazes that were sharp like knives. She could not take it any longer and grabbed Serena’s clothes.“Mom, please explain to them that I’m a Shaw!”However, Serena did not dare say a word, especially with the paternity test results right there.Charlotte wanted to argue further, but she received another heavy slap on her cheek.“Get out! You and your mom need to get out of the Shaws’ residence!”Covering her face, Charlotte was unwilling to accept this. She felt that the Shaws were being
Seeing that Charlotte did not reply, Penny showed extreme calmness in her eyes.There was no rush. This was not yet Charlotte’s final outcome.Almost being drowned by Charlotte on the cruise, her playing a hand in her father’s death, and all the intervening episodes were enough to seek revenge on Charlotte a hundred times.Penny was not a saint. Naturally, she would repay a tooth with a tooth, an eye with an eye.At this moment, she sat in the company’s office. Thinking that she had to report to Caleb in the afternoon, she put down her phone.However, it was at this time that Charlotte replied with a message.[Wait for it! Just you wait for it!]Penny found it amusing and tossed the phone aside.The news that Charlotte was not a Shaw quickly reached Caleb’s ears.Winston was the one who personally told him.“Caleb, if you want to play the hero and save the beauty, now’s the time.”Caleb hung up the phone immediately.Then, Quentin’s call came through.“Charlotte is not a S
Penny stiffened, then walked over and stood in front of him.Caleb sat in the chair, holding her.Penny’s gaze went out of the floor-to-ceiling window, perfectly capturing the most bustling scenery. The sunset glow illuminated the highest clock tower at that moment.In no time, Caleb placed her on the marble office desk.He pressed on the back of her head, kissing her forcefully. His hands were busy unbuttoning her shirt.The office door was abruptly opened, and Liam walked in from outside, his face filled with rage.“Caleb... Goddamn!”Liam quickly turned around, covering his face.Startled, Penny shrank back and hastily lowered her head to fix her buttons. Her face was burning hot.She did not look at Caleb, nor did she dare to turn around to look at Liam. Seeing a corridor to one side that led to Caleb's lounge, she immediately ran in. She felt like she would explode.Caleb sat back in his chair, looking at Liam with a dark expression.Liam had turned around by now, prete
Caleb took a couple of hits. Then, seeing Francis coughing, he immediately patted his back.“You need to take care of yourself.”Francis stiffened, planted his cane on the ground, and sighed. “Scram! Scram!”He had been angered too many times tonight and was now just short of passing out.Caleb made a move to leave, but Sir Fergerson poked him in the back with his cane.“Regarding your brother’s matter, investigate if you can, and let it be if you can’t. The most important are always those who are alive. Your mother and grandmother have biased hearts.”Caleb nodded, then repeated again, “Grandpa, you should care more about your own health.”“Why do you think I wanted you to marry Penny? She doesn’t have those messy thoughts. Once you’re bound by marriage, she'll truly become special to you. You always need someone to accompany you.”Otherwise, he would not rest in peace even in death.Caleb furrowed his brows, knowing that Sir Fergerson was somewhat preparing for the end.“Gr
When she went out, she deliberately wrung the water out of her clothes.Then, she went to the bedroom and fetched a new set.This time, Caleb did not play any pranks and came out honestly. Seeing her completely soaked, he nodded his chin at her.“Go take a shower.”The air conditioning in the room was on, but Penny was not cold. Even so, she complied with his words and went into the bathroom, where he also stuffed her a men’s shirt.To prevent him from barging in halfway, she even locked the bathroom door from the inside.She comfortably took a bath inside.If others knew that Caleb allowed someone to use his bathroom, they would definitely be shocked.In this respect, his cleanliness obsession had reached an unbearable level.Nonetheless, Penny obviously did not realize this. By the time she came out, over half an hour had passed.Voices of him holding a meeting with someone and the sound of fingertips tapping on the keyboard came from the room.Penny did not bring a change
