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
For some reason, Caleb would always feel at ease when he held her.He felt satisfied and reassured.They used the same shower gel, so their scents were similar. This was not the first time they had been like this.However, this time, she was divorced, and so was he. The sense of satisfaction was even stronger.Penny had just sat down when he opened her shirt.He put on the agarwood bracelet again.Her figure was very good. It was not so noticeable as she dressed conservatively in normal daily life.With a standard full bust and perky rear, plus a pretty face, Caleb was extremely satisfied the first night they had slept together—although he was unwilling to admit it.It was late at night, and the lights in the room were bright.In the living room, the man held onto the woman. Because he was tall, she seemed petite sitting on his lap.They kissed for quite some time before he lifted his head. There was a soft light in his eyes.Penny was instantly struck by that look. She awkw
Inside a villa on the outskirts, several bodyguards knelt on the ground, their expressions very solemn.“Boss, we’ve tried various methods, but the security of Dawn Haven Villa was personally arranged by Sir Fergerson. We simply can't break through it.”Sir Fergerson, having spent many years in the army occupying a commanding position, arranged the security without any vulnerabilities. The defense was impervious even to professionals.Most importantly, there were very few domestic staff in Dawn Haven Villa, all of whom had been there for over three years. Lucy counted the number of people every day, making it impossible to infiltrate by blending in with the domestic staff.There were only about ten domestic staff, and the rest were all security personnel. These were people that Sir Fergerson had personally trained over the years, and their loyalty was absolute.If that item was in Dawn Haven Villa, they would have to let Penny retrieve it personally.The man wearing a mask sat in
Amber’s eyes turned colder. She glared at Penny as though she were a fox spirit bewitching a king.“Penny, you go out. I have something to talk to Caleb about alone.”Penny stood up and unhesitatingly exited the room.However, before she could close the door tightly, she heard Amber’s interrogation.“Is your involvement with this designer genuine? What do you plan to do with the Strausses’ heiress?”Caleb’s brows furrowed, finding it amusing as Sean had also mentioned Ms. Strauss the last time.However, he did not know that woman at all.“Caleb, I met with Sean yesterday. He mentioned this matter in passing, and only then did I learn that you and Ms. Strauss have been corresponding. She’s the little princess cherished by the Strausses. "You can’t treat her the way you treat Penny Sullivan. The Strausses won’t let you off.”Penny closed the door when she heard this.Sean had indeed mentioned that matter on Caleb’s birthday.The Strausses, a heavyweight wealthy family in Amer
Lucas stood not far away. He understood Caleb’s thoughts well, so he did not say a word at this moment, merely acting as a backdrop.Caleb leisurely finished a piece of biscuit, then Penny then instructed Lucas.“Is there coffee?”“Yes, I’ll go make it.”She nodded and casually threw the biscuit wrapper into a nearby trash can.Caleb felt entirely at ease. The more he looked at her, the more pleasing she appeared.A few minutes later, Caleb pulled her over and kissed her lips.“Penny, you’re quite suitable to be a secretary…”Just as soon as he said this, the sound of a cup hitting the floor came from the doorway.Penny hastily pushed Caleb away. She saw Lucas standing at the door, hands stained with coffee. The cup shattered on the floor, apparently due to him being startled by the scene just now.He quickly bent down to pick up the shards, hurriedly apologized, and quickly went to get a new cup.Penny frowned, even somewhat suspecting if Caleb was doing this on purpose.Y
Caleb was still mad over Penny’s departure. He was so angry that he felt a pain blooming in his chest. However, he was good at hiding his emotions. The look on his face did not change as he continued working. He planned to deal with her after night had fallen.By the time he made it to the end of the workday, though, he received a call from the Fergerson Estate.Yvette sounded like she had aged several years. "Caleb, I was in the wrong during our previous conversation. I’ve got everything figured out now.”Caleb did not believe that. Yvette had never cared about anyone else other than Caspian. After his accident, she was so angry that she moved out and refused to return home for six years.There was no way someone so blatantly biased could wrap their head around this. However, Yvette’s next sentence caught his attention. "I have some of your brother’s stuff with me. Why don’t you come look at them and share a meal with me while you’re at it?”Caleb had never received any
Penny sprang to her feet when she heard that. “What did you say?” Jessie sniggered before heaving a sigh. “I’ve been holding myself back because I thought you’d be quick to say yes to my offer. However, you were wasting so much of my time that I had no choice but to do what I did.” Penny’s chest heaved, and the look of hatred in her eyes became even more pronounced. She thought about how carefully she had held the urn in her arms during her father’s funeral… “Your father’s ashes are with me, Ms. Sullivan. I’ve got connections working in the funeral parlor, and I had them give you a couple of stray dogs’ ashes. There was just enough to fill up your urn. I didn't expect things to progress to how they are now.” Jessie said nonchalantly, “Are you ready to talk to me now?” Penny regained her composure. She could not fall for the woman’s tricks. “Where would you like to have this conversation, Ms. Thornton?” Jessie sent her an address. “Right here. We have no idea if Tabi
