It took Penny two hours to accept that Daphne had passed away. She had only parted ways with Daphne not too long ago.Her head was throbbing, and her emotions swung between anger and a sense of powerlessness.Then, she remembered the letter Daphne left for her. She reckoned that Daphne had already made up her mind when she wrote that letter.Penny's fingertips were trembling. It was easy for this to happen when a person’s emotions ran high.At this moment, she could no longer think straight. She immediately pulled out the recording that Daphne wanted to delete.However, Daphne had just passed away, and her fingers hesitated to press the play button.Just as she was about to put her phone away, Logan walked toward her. His face was filled with sorrow."Miss Penny."Logan sighed heavily and held his chest."Mr. Herron."Logan nodded and sighed deeply again."None of us expected something like this to happen. Did you come to see Daphne today?""Yes.""How many scripts of Da
Logan had no sympathy for students like them. It was their fault for having such parents.He was only waiting for those parents to confront Penny now. He would get his hands on the scripts and squeeze the last drop of value out of Daphne when the time came.After that, he called Daphne's father and emphasized the importance of these scripts.Daphne's body had not been buried, but Daphne's father already contacted Penny.Penny was still thinking about how to bring down Logan because Daphne had already passed away. Daphne would not have approved making this recording public. Her reputation would be in shambles."Miss Penny, I'm Daphne's father. I heard that Daphne has several scripts with you. Please return them to us. These are her belongings.""Hello, this is a deal I made with Daphne herself. She has already given them to me.""How much did you sell them for?""This is a matter between me and Daphne.""What do you mean by that? I'm Daphne's father, and we're in charge of ever
Therefore, no one cared about the news that trended on the internet. Following that, Daphne's father would cry out on Instagram every hour, and more and more netizens started paying attention to this matter.The insults aimed at the name 'Penny' had reached the peak.Logan was looking at the online news with satisfaction, already planning on how to sell those scripts.He had a group of reliable investors, and one of them was Florence Turner.Anyway, it was only a matter of time before he got the scripts, so he decided to contact Florence first.Florence had worked with Logan twice before. Astral Motion Pictures had invested in and filmed two of his scripts. The return rate was as high as 30 times.Hence, when Logan called her and told her about the script, Florence readily agreed."Logan, I've always trusted the quality of your scripts. This time, just like before, I'll buy one script for three million dollars and spend another 100 million dollars to film it. I hope this coopera
Although he was excited on the inside, he maintained a calm facade on his face. There was even a hint of disappointment.Mr. Jewell's heart tightened in an instant."What's wrong, Mr. Herron? Is there a problem?"Logan glanced at Daphne's portrait and felt no sympathy at all. He thought this family was utterly foolish."Mr. Jewell, let's not discuss the scripts at Daphne’s funeral. I'm afraid if we bring it up, she won't be able to rest in peace. Let's focus on laying her to rest today. As for the scripts, I'll contact a few investors when I get back."However, I can't guarantee they'll be selected. Rest assured, I'll do my best since these are the things Daphne left behind."Mr. Jewell let out a sigh, and Mrs. Jewell, who stood beside him, cried."Mr. Herron, thank you. You're a responsible teacher. Daphne has troubled you for so long. I hope this won't bring you more trouble."Logan patted Mr. Jewell on the shoulder.There were not many people who came to pay their respects.
Penny did not wish to say anything more. After all, regret was something that should stay a private matter between the two. She heard Mrs. Jewell sobbing hysterically, but Daphne was already dead. Crying would not change that fact. Mrs. Jewell helped Mr. Jewell make their way back into their room. The two seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. She splashed some cold water onto Mr. Jewell’s face, and he finally regained consciousness.The two sat in silence. It was the first time they had run out of anything to say. It took them until the next morning before they regained the strength to say anything. However, they were still in denial. “Penny might have been spewing nonsense.” “Daphne has always respected us… haha.” The two spoke to each other listlessly, neither one wanting to bear the responsibility of their daughter’s death. Then, Logan called them and informed them that all three of the scripts had not made the cut. “I’m very sorry about this. I know you’re
The elevator doors opened, and a couple tried to enter the elevator. However, they were greeted by the sight of three men holding knives and glaring at them. “Fuck off!” The elevator was headed to the 19th floor, where they could get a room and pleasure themselves with that beautiful woman. All three men had been hired by Logan, and he had hired them to film illicit videos of Penny. They had not expected her to be this good-looking, though. They were tempted to tear into her right then and there in the elevator. The three men were all around six feet tall, and they had such well-defined muscles that they looked intimidating to the average man.Penny saw her reflection against the elevator’s walls. Her pupils had contracted. Her pants had been pulled almost all the way off her legs, and the men were still making lewd comments. “Fuck, what a slut! She’s so good-looking. I wonder how many people she’s slept with?” “We got ourselves a great deal tonight. Lots of cash and a
He released her and reached up to massage his temples. His head was aching terribly.“Top floor.” Penny finally managed to sound out those two words. Caleb pulled her toward him, not bothering to be gentle as they entered the elevator. When they reached the top floor, his eyebrows knitted together as he looked at the slightly ajar door and the doorknob lying on the ground. He kicked the door open but did not find anyone inside.After placing Penny on the couch, he searched through each room and made sure no one else was there before he walked back to the door and picked up the doorknob. He could tell from a glance the door had been forced open. He pulled a nearby shoe cabinet over and wedged it against the door before turning back to look at her. Penny was curled up on the couch. Her shoes had long since disappeared, and her feet were merely covered in a pair of white socks. The socks had also turned dirty during their trek over here. He walked over and sat down bes
All he had on him was a towel, and the upper half of his body was exposed. His muscles were well-defined, and when he leaned backward, his Adam’s apple became even more prominent. After a long while, he turned slightly to face her, using a hand to hold his head up.Penny also turned to look at him. She shuddered when her eyes met his intense gaze. Caleb had become even more unreasonable and savage after losing his memory. He was acting like the person he had been right after his discharge from the army. Penny had been blaming and hating him, but no matter where she turned, he always appeared next to her. He was like a ghost she could not get rid of.“Be my lover, Penny.” He said that calmly as he placed a hand behind her neck and pulled her toward him. She was the only person he let his guard down around.“I don’t want to see you so aggrieved. In the future, let me know if you run into any trouble, and I’ll take care of everything for you. We’ll be on each other’s sides.
