Chapter 695 Driven To Seek His Protection

Author: Twin Bridge
Penny shook her head and quietly sat in the car.

As the car started, she asked, "Winona, is your boyfriend's name Tommy?"

Winona was a bit surprised as she had not mentioned her boyfriend's name to Penny.

"Yes, that's right."

"And you've been together for seven years?"

Winona's face lit up, and she wore a sweet smile as she said, "Yes, I took time off recently to get engaged. We even bought a house without telling our parents. His family has a property, and his mother wanted us to live together with them, but I didn't want to.

"I told Tommy that we should buy a new place together, even if it was small. It just had to be enough for us. We each contributed 300,000 as a down payment for a 120-square-meter house."

She and Tommy had put almost all the money they earned into the down payment. Winona even borrowed 100,000 from a friend.

The total price of the house was one million, so they took out a 400,000-dollar loan with a monthly mortgage of 2,000.

Winona was enthusiastic to s

    "They’re the ones coming after me." Penny's tone was flat as she said that. She lowered her gaze, opting not to speak any further.Caleb looked at her and held her gently. "You have feelings for someone, yet you came to me. Aren't you worried that he’ll feel betrayed?""He's no longer around.""Did he cheat on you?""He passed away."Caleb's breath caught for a moment before he held her even closer. His lips curved into a smile as he thought to himself, ‘It turns out the person she likes is dead. That’s wonderful!’Penny’s rationality gradually returned as she went through the exchange of questions and answers. Chuck's words and Minnie’s phone call had clearly struck a nerve. It prompted her to consider the path offered by Caleb.These people all saw her as an easy target. Penny found it a struggle to balance work and dealing with them at the same time.As Chuck pointed out, some people were indeed born different from others. Penny knew her place in the pecking order.If

    Penny's lips met his for a brief moment and it did not take long for Caleb to seize control. He was as dominant as ever.He carried her to the open window where they could see the snowflakes falling outside. They had both undressed.The chill ran through their bodies, yet the room was filled with intense heat. In the juxtaposition of ice and fire, Caleb held her tightly."Penny, I assume we have a deal?"Just as Penny was about to say something, he suddenly accelerated, and their interaction became a whirlwind of passion. All she could do was hold on to him with everything she had.The intense thrill conquered her entirely.Caleb seemed relentless. It was already well into midnight by the time he finished and placed her onto the bed. He thought that she was sound asleep, so he wandered over to the balcony to make a call.Penny opened her eyes, feeling as though her entire body had soaked in a warm spring. It was aching yet pleasant. She sat up and heard his voice coming fr

    Penny got dressed, and Caleb's gaze swept across every inch of her figure. He could not believe how good she looked and thought that it was as if she had been tailored to his taste.Penny was ready to leave. Glancing at him, she called out, "Mr. Fergerson."Her voice was a bit husky, and she softened it further since she needed a favor from him.Caleb knew how she behaved in front of others, with her icy demeanor. That was why he was immensely satisfied with this private side of Penny that he got to see.Thinking about her icy demeanor in front of others, a huge sense of satisfaction filled his heart."Hmm?""What about my problem with the Sanders and Sol Real Estate?"After a night of intimacy, she was ready to start making demands. Giving in without getting something in return was not her style."I'll give Chuck a call, but dealing with the Sanders won't be as easy."Caleb knew that she would not come back to him if he could resolve it that easily. He had her all figured

    Penny detested the arrogance in Minnie's tone. All of the rich and famous seemed to be cut from the same cloth. Chuck was sly, but Minnie was impatient."Mrs. Sanders, or else what?" Minnie's mood darkened. She might have assumed Penny came from a prestigious background if Finn had not already informed her that she was just an interior designer. Minnie could not believe that Penny could stay so composed in her presence, considering she was a prominent figure among the Sanders."Penny, if you continue to be uncooperative, I'll make sure you understand the consequences."With that warning, Minnie hung up the phone without hesitation.Minnie stared coldly at her phone, and Selina inquired, "Mom, is the matter resolved?"Selina's face still bore traces of lingering shock. She had not fully recovered from the overwhelming intensity of when she thought she was about to be blinded."Selina, don't worry. I'll find an opportunity to deal with her." Selina clenched her fists tightl

    Selina stayed nearby but could not summon the courage to approach Penny. Someone gently patted her on the shoulder, startling her. She let out a loud scream, which drew everyone's attention.Feeling deeply humiliated, she looked toward who had tapped her. It was Sherry Pattinson.Sherry was accompanied by a young man who was slightly handsome but not exceptionally striking."Sher, you scared me." "Why are you hiding here?" Sherry's gaze shifted to a spot not far away, and she froze in her tracks when she spotted Penny. She instinctively looked toward the man by her side.The man was Tommy Chesterfield.Sherry breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tommy was not paying any attention to Penny.Meanwhile, Minnie continued to make sarcastic remarks toward Penny. "I remember now. Haven’t I met you before?"Penny tensed up as she did find Minnie somewhat familiar, but she could not recall where she had seen her before.That was until Minnie spoke up."I first saw you a

    She was a bit surprised. Just as she reached out to take the handkerchief, Caleb swiftly pulled her behind him, eyeing the man.Wearing a mask on such an occasion, who knew what he might be up to?Both men had a strong presence. In front of so many people, they stood there confronting each other. This left Minnie at the side, seemingly ignored.Penny’s hand was tightly gripped by Caleb. His sharp gaze was fixed on the masked face.However, the man behind the mask was simply observing Penny, giving her a once-over.Penny felt a subtle sense of familiarity exuding from him. But as she tried to delve deeper into that feeling, the man merely nodded slightly before leaving.Caleb felt as if someone had set his heart on fire. He lowered his voice and asked her directly.“Who’s this now?!” It was as if he had been cuckolded.Penny shook her head. “I don’t know him.”She truly did not recognize him. She thought he was just a bystander kindly offering her a handkerchief.“You don’t

    “She’s alright.”A hint of smugness flashed across Sherry’s face. No matter how much that wretched woman tried to flirt, if Tom did not appreciate her looks, then it was her loss!Penny’s gaze lingered on Tommy for a while. She had previously seen a photo of Tommy on Winona’s phone screensaver and recognized the man sitting next to Sherry.Having come here with Sherry, was Tommy still serious about Winona?She took out her phone, intending to take a photo. However, it rang right at that moment. It was Winona calling.Originally, Penny had asked Winona to pick her up tonight, but since Caleb had asked her to spend the evening with him, she probably would not need Winona anymore.“Ms. Sullivan?”Winona’s tone was somber. “I’m sorry, I might need to take the night off.”“What happened?”Winona’s face was pale, and her whole body was trembling. “I have menstrual cramps. I was on my way, but the pain became unbearable, so I had to pull over.”“Where are you? I’ll come look for you

    Penny had been observing the two and realized that Sherry seemed to be deliberately flaunting their affection in front of her.She furrowed her brows, averted her gaze, and then looked toward Selina.At that moment, Selina was sitting alone on the sofa. When she saw Penny looking her way, her face immediately turned pale.Yet soon, she spotted Finn entering the hall.Her confidence instantly returned as she approached Finn in a few strides.“Finn, can you teach her a lesson for me?”Lifting his gaze, Finn’s attention was immediately drawn to Penny, who was sitting alone.Penny wore a strap dress that day. Though it had been splashed with wine, fortunately, the neckline was low. The wine had only been splashed on her neck, which was easily cleaned off."Finn, that shameless woman embarrassed our mother earlier.”Finn then headed toward Penny, with Selina closely following him.Having her brother by her side, Selina stood tall, regaining her haughty demeanor.In this circle, F

    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

    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.

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.
