In the private room where Penny was, most of the Fergerson family members were also there.At first, Amber did not realize that the designer Penny was actually Penny Sullivan. She was still dazed until she got back to the private room. She finally understood.She wore an indescribable expression on her face. She was unsure of what to say and decided to remain silent.After sitting down obediently, Penny looked toward Sir Fergerson.“Grandpa Fergerson, did you call me here today for some other matter?”However, just as she finished speaking, she noticed the door of the private room being pushed open. Someone came in and sat beside her. It was Caleb.Caleb was enveloped in coldness. Although he had not said a word, the pressure he exerted made her panic.Just as Sir Fergerson was about to inquire about Jade, Caleb spoke up indifferently.“Jadey’s matter has nothing to do with Penny. Grandpa, let’s leave it at that for tonight. I have something to discuss with Penny.”Penny tense
Penny’s temperament sometimes infuriated people to the extreme, and at that moment, her silence thoroughly enraged Caleb.He threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and immediately grasped her chin.Without hesitation, he kissed her forcefully. He held her neck with his other hand to prevent her from struggling.Penny felt like she was about to suffocate, so she bit down on his tongue.Both tasted blood in their mouths. However, Caleb, seemingly impervious to pain, pressed her even closer to himself.Realizing that Penny was nearly out of breath, he suddenly let her go.A cold glint flashed in his eyes. However, as he stared at her, there was a hint of tenderness deep within.It was just well hidden.“Mr. Fergerson, I never said I wasn’t Penny Sullivan. It was you who never showed any curiosity about my identity. You had countless opportunities to investigate, but you didn’t—indicating your lack of interest in me and my family. So when you said you liked me, I found it laugha
Moreover, she had admitted this herself.He pulled open the car door and pushed her inside.When Penny tried to get out, he locked the doors.“Caleb! I want to get out!”Her face turned red with anger.However, Caleb just held her tightly in his arms.“In the three years I was not in the country, who did you sleep with?”“That’s none of your business!”As soon as she finished speaking, he began unbuttoning her shirt.Penny was infuriated, and she turned to slap him.Even after being slapped, he continued unbuttoning her shirt.Penny was frantic and slapped him several more times.Her palm started to hurt, and she stopped in astonishment.Did this man not feel pain?“What are you trying to do?”Caleb’s hands finally slowed, and his eyes reddened.“Penny, what am I to you, and what do you take me for? I wronged you, but have you ever been fair to me? If you had any real feelings for me, you wouldn’t have divorced me, but you still went through with the divorce.”Penny to
“I will make it up to you.”His eyelashes trembled as he opened the car door beside him.“Get a good night’s sleep tonight, and remember to consult with me if you encounter any unsolvable problems in the future.”Penny was somewhat puzzled as she had thought that Caleb would be furious with her tonight.Skeptically, she got out of the car. However, she soon felt a pair of hands wrap around her waist, followed by a head resting on her shoulder. His tone carried a subtle plea.“Stay away from those men. I’ll make it up to you.”“I have nothing to do with them.”Caleb’s forehead was resting on her shoulder. He finally showed some vulnerability.“Even if you do, it doesn’t matter. Don’t be with them anymore. You have me now, don’t you?”Penny opened her mouth to deny it, but his husky voice left her feeling breathless.It was as if her throat was being choked.It took a while before Caleb let her go.“Are you going back to Dawn Haven? I’ll take you there.”He finally remembere
Although the facts were indeed as such, Aurelia did not want to sour her relationship with him.She had only one son now, and if things got too ugly, Shawn would like her even less.“What do you mean? Do you think I dragged her to get an abortion? At that time, you two weren’t divorced yet. You said it yourself that the child wasn’t yours and that you had never touched her. "Of course, I believed you. Should I have allowed a bastard child to be born? Besides, didn’t Penny call you? You admitted it in front of her.”Past details were unraveled, and Caleb realized how many absurd things he had done.The bitterness in his heart was magnified, and he even felt an uncontrollable urge to kick over the coffee table in front of him.Aurelia’s words left him with no rebuttal.“Fine, I’ve wronged her in this matter. But how did her hairpin end up at the Fergerson Estate? You knew she was Penny, my Penny… The person I love… Yet you still tried to erase all traces of her, right?”“Caleb,
“Caleb, what do you plan to do now?”Before he knew Penny Sullivan was his designer, Caleb had already fallen for her, not minding that she was married. He even became a manstress.Now, knowing the truth, he was definitely more unwilling to give up.Nonetheless, Penny definitely did not like him. If she had even a bit of affection for him, she would not have divorced him.Caleb sat on the sofa, surrounded by a thick pile of information about Penny.He raised his hand to rub his forehead, his voice very hoarse.“I don’t know.”This surreal reality caught him off guard.“Do you want to win her back?”“Of course, I do.”The problem was, if he pursued her, would Penny agree?He clearly knew how excessive he had been in the past, having said many bad things about Penny in front of her. Even her father’s illness had something to do with him…Putting it all together, he had made too many mistakes.Penny was a woman of absolute rationality. Having been in bed with him so many time
“Laura, I’m free these days. How about we meet for a meal?”Laura’s tone immediately became hesitant.“Let’s forget it, Penny. I’m a bit busy these days. We’ll discuss this later on.”Penny frowned. She remembered Laura mentioning that Mason’s cousin needed surgery. Could it be that the surgery had not happened yet?However, Laura had already hung up, so she did not ask further.Nani barked, seeming to know that Penny was in a good mood tonight. She started running around playfully.Penny did not chase after her and just watched as Nani ran wild in the yard.The next morning, she went to S.M.As soon as she entered the office, she saw someone sitting there. It was Caleb.Seeing him in this place, she thought she was hallucinating.Then, she remembered that Caleb now knew her identity and must have done his research.At this moment, he was quietly sitting in her chair, looking at some documents beside him.This was where she worked?She had transformed the Sullivans’ compan
Sebastian did not dare procrastinate when he heard that Caleb was trying to woo someone. Soon, a massive bouquet made from 999 roses was delivered to the top floor. The bouquet was so large it nearly got stuck as it was being removed from the elevator. Penny was flicking through documents and waiting for the meeting time to arrive when Winona opened her office door.“You’ve got flowers, Ms. Sullivan.” Penny was about to tell Winona she could just leave the flowers on the table when she looked up and realized she could not even see Winona. She was fully obstructed by the bouquet. In fact, the bouquet required two people to move it. Winona put the bouquet down and began passing along the message as she had been instructed. “This bouquet is from Mr. Fergerson.” Winona recalled the night she had begged Caleb to find out where Penny was. He had been so cold then, so why was he sending flowers over now? Winona did not like Caleb. She thought he was just putting on an act.
