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. Since
After Caleb said those words, he got up and walked toward the door.However, he heard footsteps behind him, followed by a strong force bumping into his shoulder. It caused him to sidestep slightly.From the corner of his eye, he saw a woman with a very cold face walk past him.Knowing that she had bumped into him on purpose, a surge of anger instantly rose within him.He pulled her back with a jerk.Penny was also angry and started to struggle forcefully. Both of them fell backward onto the sofa.He gripped her chin tightly.“I preserved your dignity, so why are you lashing out at me?”Penny was red-eyed and unable to move. She wished she could get up and strike back at him.Seeing her aggrieved expression, Caleb quickly loosened his grip on her.Penny seized this opportunity to push him away.She picked up the check for 500,000 from the floor, but as she got up, she felt dizzy.“Mr. Fergerson, rest assured, there’ll be no such transaction next time.”Seeing her struggling
Caleb got the painkillers and a glass of water. As he turned his head, he saw her looking weak while leaning against the sofa. His mind paused for a moment, and vague images flashed through his head, but he could not remember what they were.“Take this.”He forcefully fed her a pill, but Penny, in her current state of pain, was no longer conscious. When the pill touched her tongue, she spat it out.Caleb frowned as he was losing patience. He simply used his fingertips to push the pill deeper into her throat.It seemed she wanted to vomit, so he withdrew his fingers and then forcefully covered her mouth.Penny looked at him with furrowed brows, her forehead slick with sweat.Caleb lowered his eyes and noticed that the two fingers he had just put into her mouth were wet with her saliva.His usual aversion to uncleanliness did not kick in, and he even found the sight somewhat alluring.He quickly released his hand and pondered for a long time but could not remember his past entang
“Penny?”Penny’s body moved slightly, indicating she had not fallen asleep.Caleb threw the bag he was holding in front of her. “See for yourself what you need."His tone was indifferent as he returned to his computer to continue working.By then, the painkiller had taken effect, and Penny's intense pain had finally subsided.Penny opened the bag and was somewhat surprised to see the night time pads. She had not expected Caleb to buy them.Her pants were all dirty, and this was indeed what she needed most.“Mr. Fergerson, can you give me a pair of your pants?”Caleb stiffened, and he was about to spit out the words, 'Don’t push your luck!'However, when he looked up and saw her sweaty, weak face, he deflated. He finally decided that it was pointless to argue with a sick person.He went to the bedroom, opened the closet, casually grabbed a pair of new dress pants, and threw them to her.Penny felt somewhat embarrassed, but she needed to clean herself up. Otherwise, she would
“If you like her, I’ll give her to you.”After saying that, he hung up the phone.Miles had never expected Caleb to respond like this.Then, it suddenly occurred to him that Caleb probably had forgotten about the young designer.Perfect! Since Caleb himself had allowed it, when he remembered it in the future, he would only be in excruciating pain.As long as he cared about that woman even a tiny bit, his future pain would only multiply.…When Penny left the hotel, she was still incredibly weak. She hailed a taxi. Under the influence of the medication, she began to feel drowsy as soon as she got in.However, when the car started to bounce, she suddenly remembered that she had not told the driver her destination yet.“Sir, I…”Before she could finish, the car abruptly sped up.She finally realized the gravity of the situation. She tried to reach for her phone, but the driver in the front stopped the car suddenly. It caused her head to jerk forward, making her feel dizzy.Her
Penny, still engulfed in intense abdominal pain, was lifted by her arms and mercilessly thrown into another room.Levi, who had originally been venting his anger on surrounding objects, sharply constricted his pupils when he saw the woman suddenly thrown in.How could he not recognize her? Caleb had gone crazy because of this woman!His face reddened with excitement, and he hastily questioned the bodyguard nearby.“How’d you capture her? Doesn’t Caleb keep a very close eye on her?”Levi, who had been oblivious to the outside world recently, was temporarily unaware of Caleb’s amnesia.“Mr. Levi, something’s gone wrong with Mr. Caleb’s mind, and he’s forgotten quite a few people—including this woman. Mr. Miles just called him, and he said we could do whatever we want with her.”The casual words, ‘do whatever we want’, had sealed Penny’s fate.When Penny heard this, she shrank for a moment. Then, boundless bitterness spread from her heart.Nonetheless, she quickly felt relief. Ca
Penny was displeased but was too shy to voice it out. Her body felt empty.“Are you happy that he’s back?” “No.” “Then, do you want me?” Penny bit her lip. He had caused sweat to break out across her body. Caleb’s phone rang. Finn was on the other end of the line. He answered the phone, and Finn’s voice rang out. “Imperial City is going to be in chaos tonight. The higher-ups are hunting for the results of Caspian's experiments, and even Uncle Shawn is getting involved in this. "He just called and told me that the higher-ups contacted him and basically forced him to agree to convince Caspian to give them the results. "Cas has also contacted the higher-ups himself and told them that unless Penny is by his side, the mental torture he was subjected to will stop him from recalling where he’s put the chip.” It was a matter of national security, and this was what Caspian was using as his bartering chip the minute he returned. There was no doubt the higher-ups would put a
Penny had made it out of the room by then. Her face was deathly pale. “Penny!” Caleb ran after her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her behind a pillar where no one could see them. Caleb knew what was going through her mind, and he held her face in his hands. She did not look at him. Her chest heaved as she struggled to process the truth. Caleb did not know what to say and merely brushed the tip of his nose against hers. When she did not resist, he slowly moved down and kissed her. He knew why Caspian had chosen this sort of appearance. Not only would he manage to devastate Penny, but he could also announce to everyone that he was Penny’s first love. That way, he could also cause Caleb to find himself in a sticky situation. However, Caleb could not care less. As he kissed Penny, he tightened his arms around her waist. Their breaths turned ragged as they continued kissing for another ten minutes. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder. His back was slig
Despite everyone staring at him, Caleb only had eyes for Penny. Penny did not know the reason behind that, and her brows were knitted together tightly as she watched Caspian make his way down from the second floor. He took the ring from the host and placed it before her solemnly. “I’m here to fulfill my promise, Penpen.” Penny wanted to smack his hand away, but he slowly bent over and smiled as he took her hand. He tried to put the ring on her finger, but his actions were stopped by someone else. He looked in the direction where the hand had come from, and his gaze met Caleb. “Long time no see, Caleb.” Caleb pulled Penny from her seat into his arms. She was left with no choice but to sit on his lap. Caleb could not care less about whatever sort of tricks Caspian would pull. If he allowed Caspian to put that finger on Penny’s finger, he would change his last name! Penny wanted to struggle out of his grasp, but the warmth of his body caused her to stop. He was still
Some people were speculating if they had gotten back together again, and some were even wondering if Caleb was blind. Why did he pass on Khloe Strauss and choose a designer who did not come from a prestigious family? No matter how well Penny ran her company, these people would still view her as a lowly designer fighting to make a name for herself in the market. She ignored everyone else’s stares and merely took a piece of tissue. She turned slightly to wipe the sweat from Caleb’s forehead. Caleb opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. The two did not say anything. Plenty of people were standing around them, but the light above their heads seemed to have enveloped them in a world of their own. Penny felt her heart rate increase as she clutched the tissue and returned her gaze to the stage. “This is a piece of emerald that Mr. Winston Hill has donated. Bidding starts at three million dollars.” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Winston. Winston smiled at everyone as he int
Ethan patted her head and then noticed Sean's gaze shifting toward them."Sean?"Sean leaned back and remained silent, merely twirling his phone between his thumb and forefinger. His lowered lashes cast a shadow.He stood up and heard Ethan say again, "Leave your phone."Sean chuckled. "Ethan, you're being too serious right now."He left his phone behind and went upstairs.Khloe continued to sway Ethan's shoulders."Ethan, I had Wind take action against Penny tonight. This time, success is mandatory. Failure is not an option."Ethan's expression turned grave instantly. "Didn't I tell you not to act on your own?""But I nearly lost my life because of her, twice."After saying this, she touched the area over her heart, her complexion turning pale in a moment."Khlo?"This time, Khloe genuinely felt discomfort in her heart, and the next second, she fainted."Khlo!"Ethan was no longer concerned about reprimanding her and immediately took her to the hospital.…Tonight, the
After returning to Dawn Haven Villa, Penny pulled up her laptop to check public opinion. There were those who vilified Zach, those who vilified her, and even more who vilified S.M. The autistic child's mother, who had published that post online, was even planning to hold a press conference today to accuse S.M. of not having contacted her yet.Penny obtained the mother's contact number and made a call, but the woman did not answer.After just testing the waters, Penny hung up. She then had people from Dawn Haven Villa follow the autistic child's parents and also had someone investigate the whereabouts of Linda and her group.After leaving Sky Lounge last night, that group of wealthy youths checked into a villa Khloe had purchased in Imperial City.The villa had helpers to attend to them, and the group of wealthy youths lived it up.Penny had a rough idea of the culture in Americana, which was much more open than here, with many policies far more lenient.Her fingertips tapped on
A lot of people had gathered around the police station. Zach had just won a grand prize and was currently a top male star with many fans.Hence, being embroiled in a scandal like this shocked the entire internet.The post written by the autistic child's parents placed Zach directly in the spotlight.The combination of the words 'child', 'abuse', and 'autism' had a huge impact.Fans were voicing their disbelief, but bystanders had already boiled over with rage online, hurling insults and curses.S.M. instantly became the target of public condemnation!When Penny arrived at the entrance of the police station, Zach's agent, Otis, was already waiting there. The grown man was crying so hard his eyes were red."Ms. Sullivan!"He immediately stood up from the ground when he saw Penny."I'm sorry, Ms. Sullivan."Penny did not look at him and headed straight into the police station.Zach was sitting on a bench with a police officer still questioning him.Penny had a strong presence.
Penny stood still for a while, feeling unsettled as she got back into the car.Firstly, it was due to her situation with Caleb. Secondly, it was because of Ethan's words. Was something about to happen?She looked up, intending to speak with Winona. However, she suddenly heard Winona's soft sobs. She was lying on the steering wheel, so engrossed in her emotions that she did not notice Penny getting into the car."Winona?" Penny called out.Awakened from her daze, Winona quickly sat up straight. "Ms. Sullivan.""Did your ex-boyfriend come looking for you again? Haven't you already paid him back? Won't his family let you be?""That’s not it.""Is it because he and that woman are getting married? Did they send you a wedding invitation, which made you feel upset?""No."Then what was it?Penny knew that the family situations of the people close to her were quite simple. Winona came from a single-parent family, and her mother did not care much for her.Raven's parents had passed a
Ethan's gaze fell on Penny, and his brows furrowed. His good upbringing prevented him from making any sarcastic remarks at this moment.After all, Penny was alone on her side. On the contrary, they had strength in numbers. Khloe was just discharged from the hospital today and was planning to welcome friends who had come all the way from Americana to see her.Seeing Penny alone, she felt a surge of satisfaction.Given her status as Ms. Strauss, she had many friends in Americana and would never be as isolated as Penny.She had specifically called Linda over, knowing Linda's temper was explosive. Just a little sob story from her and Linda could spew out some really nasty words.Linda spoke up again at this moment."Slut, we'll get you killed sooner or later!"She touched her face as she glared fiercely at Penny as if she wanted to devour her alive.Khloe quickly intervened, saying, "Linda, let's go. We should head inside."Ethan, Sean, let's go."Sean stood by, sighing slightl
