Andre was so mad that his eyes appeared somewhat bloodshot.Penny took the contract, stood up, and said "Mr. Jordan, I hope that you'll always keep in mind the humiliation she brought upon you.""How could I ever forget?!" Andre was so agitated that he started coughing violently.Penny glanced around his house and took in the smell of alcohol that permeated the air."You should clean up your act before you make your comeback. It's best to lay off the alcohol. It might mess things up."Andre's face flushed. He used to live a more sophisticated life before he was wrongly accused. However, he was forced to stay in a dirty alley after what happened. He was even afraid to go out on the streets for fear of being recognized by Jessie's fans. He used to wonder if there was a point to such a life. He did not know what else to do, so he resorted to alcohol to numb his pain."I understand."Penny jotted down her phone number on a piece of paper. Her gaze remained unwavering as she sa
Jessie was in the entertainment industry and had little understanding of the inner circles of high society. As such, she had no idea about the connection between Penny and the Fergersons.Crossing her arms, she adopted a high and mighty posture."Penny, you're still young and probably don't understand the cost of offending me. Get down on your knees and apologize so we can put this matter behind us. If you insist on going up against me, it won't be as simple as an apology."Jessie treated even the most obscure, small-time actors in the same domineering manner. If things did not go her way, she would make those who provoked her kneel and apologize.However, she happened to have quite a lot of fans online. Those in the lower echelons of the industry had no chance against her. They could only be bullied by her."Ms. Thornton, please leave. I won't let Tabitha off easily." Right as she finished her sentence, Jessie swung her designer handbag at Penny.Penny's mood darkened, and s
"Andre, don't you understand? Nothing you say will help you out of your predicament because nobody wants to listen to you! You're nothing but a sad, forgotten man.""It was you who bribed those female celebrities! You even bribed a doctor to claim that I was abusive! You’re wicked! I won't let you off easily!"The more he screamed in anger, the more pleasure Jessie derived from it.However, she sensed that something was amiss. Turning to her bodyguard, she asked, "Has he been searched thoroughly?”She was concerned that he was carrying a phone or a recording device.Jessie had always been cautious when causing trouble for Andre. As such, Andre had not managed to gather any evidence against her."Ms. Thornton, we've already searched him thoroughly. His phone and recording devices have been disposed of."Jessie was furious when she realized that Andre had indeed prepared a recording device.She kicked Andre in the face once more. Her high-heeled shoes had pointed tips that could
Penny was driving back from the hospital when she saw Caleb's car. Caleb's car was parked on the side of a narrow alley, and its windows had been shattered.Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately dialed Caleb's number, but there was no answer.She then called Sebastian, who informed her that Caleb had decided to drive back to the hotel on his own earlier that night.Penny quickly got out of her car. She hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to walk down the alley.The deep end of the alley was damp, and the flickering lights cast eerie shadows. She found several men lying on the ground, their blood pooled together.She felt weak in her knees. In the next moment, a bullet whizzed past her and narrowly missed her.Penny froze in place, not moving a muscle. When she saw a figure emerge from the shadows, she leaned against the wall and stood beneath one of the flickering streetlights.The bullet had grazed her hair and lodged itself in the wall behind her.Penny
Her chest felt somewhat cold, and half of it was exposed. Feeling uncomfortable, she wanted to retreat backward. However, he had already pressed forward, and his Adam’s apple was bobbing.Penny closed her eyes. She did not dare provoke Caleb, who had lost his memory, trusted no one, and even carried a gun.A damp sensation came from her chest, along with the grinding of teeth.Frightened, she looked into the distance, where there was another pile of corpses.She hastily withdrew her gaze. Up close were the strands of his hair and beautifully tense neck. Her senses were overcome by a pleasant scent. He restrained himself to kiss for just ten minutes. He then straightened up and glanced at her face again.Her face was tinged with a blush. Her originally pure and cool appearance now carried a seductive air.“Did I kiss you like this before?”Penny inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed it was just because he remembered what Liam had said.She nodded, watching him tu
However, most netizens had righteous values, especially after listening to that recording. There were sounds of punches and kicks in the middle, showing how badly Andre had been beaten.This woman even shamelessly said that Andre had abused her back then!It was clear that she was the one who was caught cheating, yet she played the victim![She’s simply a vicious woman. I really can’t listen any longer. Mr. Jordan is too pitiable.][I truly want to beat her up. She ruined someone’s reputation, career, took all their money, and didn’t even allow them to appear in public.][Ordinary people would’ve committed suicide after being tortured like this. Jessie Thornton is really ruthless, yet she’s called a strong woman. Pah! Don’t defile such words!]Immediately, a sea of scolding immediately arose online, and public opinion intensified.Jessie had previously posted that she had been beaten again, but everyone had already stopped believing her.Then, they recalled that every time Jess
Jessie did not dare to do anything at this moment and just stayed at home.When she divorced Andre years ago, she fought hard for the child because the child was not Andre’s but another man's.She had more lovers than just her assistant and often played around behind Andre’s back. Andre, being honest and straightforward, never found out.Jessie did not even know who the father of the child she gave birth to was. Leaving the child with Andre would be like giving him evidence, no?Now, she was thoroughly finished. She could not recover after this incident.Even so, she could still use the child to make a move.She immediately posted something online.[Even if I did something wrong, what about the child? Andre, do you not care at all about our child? The child is ours, yet you've never cared about them. You even want to destroy my career. I really don’t know what you’re thinking.]The comments on this post quickly exceeded 10,000, but they were all filled with curses directed at h
The call was hung up without hesitation. Penny had no choice but to arrange for the loose furnishings to be moved in.She had personally chosen the loose furnishings and had already negotiated the prices with the manufacturers.Now, she was on-site, directing the workers to move in the furnishings. The furnishings probably needed another three days. When Caleb would come to inspect the site again, the interior of Kensington Gardens would be complete.She exhaled in relief.Three days later, she called Caleb again.Since Caleb had mentioned firing her, he had not contacted her in these three days.Caleb was in a meeting when he saw her call.Upon hearing it was about Kensington Gardens, he furrowed his brows. “Wait a moment.”He said to wait, so Penny thought he would come soon.However, she waited at the entrance of Kensington Gardens for three hours and nearly turned into an ice sculpture because of the cold before Caleb finally arrived.He was wearing a black suit.
