The other attendees at the scene had all fled, unable to believe that they had witnessed Caleb resort to violence.Caleb had always been a unique figure in their social circle, built from a foundation of reason and coldness. Yet, he was in an all-out brawl with Sean now. Both men were exchanging punches and kicks without giving an inch.Jeremy and Winston sat there in shock. Jeremy had not expected Caleb to act so aggressively and for Sean to be so quick to retaliate.At this point, even Winston was panicking. He quickly turned to Jeremy and said, "Jeremy, what the hell are you waiting for? You grab Sean and I'll take care of Caleb!"If they continued fighting, it would not be long before the senior figures of the Fergersons and the Strausses intervened. Moreover, a brawl over a woman was not something to be proud of. Jeremy quickly restrained Sean while Winston held Caleb back.Caleb had taken a blow to the stomach and two blows near the mouth, so he was coughing up blood.
Caleb wanted to say something but found himself simply staring at Penny in bewilderment.Penny had already helped Sean get back on his feet, repeatedly asking him if he was okay. Sean shook his head, and the blood continued to drip from his palm onto the floor.Penny dared not waste any time and insisted, "Let me take you to the hospital." Sean had come alone that night. He did need someone else to drive him.He had not gotten injured in years. As he clasped his hand, he noticed the blood flowing more profusely. Penny promptly removed the silk scarf around her neck and looped it gently around his wounded hand.Throughout the ordeal, she paid no attention to Caleb.Caleb, who had been like an enraged lion that was ready to tear Sean apart just moments ago, now stood in silence as if he were frozen in time.Winston knew that Caleb was not going to break his silence, so he stepped in. "Since you're going to the hospital, can you take us too? Caleb needs medical attention as we
Outside the hospital, Penny parked the car and helped Sean out of the vehicle. She assisted him as they walked into the hospital entrance.Caleb sat in the car and cast a glance at Penny's retreating figure. He felt that her departure was more hurtful than any words could be.Winston promptly opened the car door for Caleb and grabbed him. After they got inside, he exaggeratedly shouted, "Doctor, come quickly. He needs help!"Sean and Caleb sat in adjacent rooms while doctors examined their injuries. Blood was dripping from Caleb's neck, and his chest had been scratched. It was evident that Sean had not held back.The doctor stopped the bleeding, disinfected the wound, and applied bandages to Caleb's neck and chest.In the room next door, Sean's palm was being bandaged. While his external injuries were not as severe as Caleb's, the depth of the cut on his palm was deep enough to almost reveal the bone.Penny was somewhat frightened by the severity of these injuries. She was co
Caleb looked at her in utter disbelief, as though he could not fathom that she could say something so hurtful.He parted his lips but found himself at a loss for words as he knew nothing he said would change how she thought of him. He looked down, suppressed his emotions, and said, "Get out."Penny had no intention of staying as well. She pursed her lips and directed her attention to Winston upon seeing the blood that was trickling from Caleb's neck."Please have the doctor rewrap his bandage."Meanwhile, Caleb returned to the bed and rested his hands on the edge. "I don't need your concern. Just leave."Winston hastily tugged at his sleeve and said, "Caleb, ease up a little."Caleb's pride had always been unyielding, just like what was happening right now. He was clearly hurt by her words, but he still pretended to despise her.Caleb's lips trembled a little, and he fell silent before he gently closed his eyes.Penny felt uncomfortable too, feeling some traces of pain in her
"This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Fergerson."Caleb found it amusing. He had seen men who acted like they did not know the other party after a night of rolling in the hay, but he had not expected women to be just as skilled in the game.They had been intimate so many times that he knew every part of her body in detail. Apart from her ex-husband, he might be the only man who knew her body best. He even knew every one of her sensitive spots."Did you think the same when you got in bed with me?"His eyes were as cold as ice, but there was a fleeting glint of fire.It seemed that if she admitted to it, he would strangle her right then and there.Penny did not know how to respond.Caleb strode closer and stood in front of her."When you saw me at the Union County Plaza and started crying and throwing yourself into my arms, did you not have any feelings for me? Did you never feel a thing when we were in bed together?"Penny took a step back, feeling pressured by his imposing p
Penny drove Sean's car back to his mansion before she returned to Dawn Haven Villa. Laura called her just as she was about to go to bed."What's the deal with Sean and Caleb? The whole circle is buzzing about them fighting over you."Laura's tone was filled with curiosity."Penny, don’t tell me that you and Caleb are dating?"“No.”Laura sensed that Penny was fatigued, so she quickly changed the topic. "We haven't had a meal together in a long time. How about we meet up tomorrow?""Sorry, Laura. I have something on for tomorrow.""Okay, then you take care."Penny had planned to visit Fergerson Mansion to have a chat with Sir Fergerson. She was genuinely worried about being taken away by Aurelia again.…On Caleb's end, the expression on his face turned sour as soon as he got into his car.Sebastian noticed his bad mood and refrained from asking any questions.However, the events of that night had escalated too quickly, and the news had reached Sir Fergerson's ears.As su
At present, Sir Fergerson had nothing more to talk to Caleb about. He waved his hand after a few coughs."I promised Penny to arrange a dinner together sometime. You have to attend."Originally, he had made it clear that he did not want to get involved, but recent rumors had become too much to ignore.Seeing that Sir Fergerson did not plan to go after the woman he loved, Caleb saw no reason to upset him at that moment."Will do, Grandpa."Caleb then left Fergerson Mansion. His gaze remained heavy as he stared out of the car window.Even Sebastian could not figure out what was on his mind, but he was surprised that Caleb was not summoned for family discipline.Back at Kensington Gardens, upon entering the living room, the staff promptly presented a beautifully wrapped gift when they saw Caleb."Sir, this was sent by Mr. Hill."Caleb casually took it but did not open it.He went back to his room, took a quick shower, and avoided wetting the wounded area. He dried his hair with
She quickly got up, finished her morning routine, and went downstairs for breakfast.However, she could not have a peaceful meal. Aurelia called and hurled insults through the phone.She only listened to a sentence before hanging up.As she left the house, her car was intercepted by two vehicles on either side at a busy intersection in the city center.The window was knocked on, and she saw Miles Fergerson when she rolled it down.Miles had previously given her a bottle of medicine, instructing her to mess with Caleb. However, she had only contacted Miles once since she received the 300 million. It was evident that Miles could not stay idle any longer."Mr. Miles."Penny smiled at him.Miles pursed his lips coldly. "Miss Penny, you haven't forgotten about the task, have you?""How could I forget? I recently fell ill and was unable to do much. I'll see Caleb later and do as you instructed, Mr. Miles."Miles squinted his eyes. He did not mind using her family as a threat."If
