Tommy, who originally felt sorry for Winona, now completely abandoned that thought.He embraced Sherry in one swoop and headed straight for the sofa.Sherry herself had not expected Tommy to be so proactive. Previously, when she seduced him, he was always hesitant. It seemed he had finally come around this time.“Tom, have you finally decided to break up with that woman?”While kissing her, Tommy began to undress her.“Just give me a little more time.”A smile formed on Sherry’s lips, and then the two of them rolled together.“Alright, but if you aren’t enthusiastic enough tonight, I’ll definitely be angry.”Tommy chuckled. “I promise to satisfy you, my little princess.”Sherry instantly burst into laughter.Soon, noises filled the room, with the woman’s voice particularly high and the man occasionally letting out a low growl.Sherry’s standard for choosing a boyfriend was that he had to be great in bed, and unexpectedly, Tommy was indeed not bad.He made her very satisfied
Penny was a great boss and a good friend.Winona handed over the bag containing two strands of hair to her.After receiving it, Penny took it to the hospital and handed it over to Quentin.She greeted him and hoped to get the results as soon as possible.Quentin rubbed his eyebrows. “Alright, I’ll have my colleague get on it right now.”He had been constantly performing surgeries at the hospital lately. Due to his arrival, many patients had chosen this hospital, specifically requesting him for surgeries. This left him with hardly any rest. However, he was aware of the recent rumors.He looked at Penny, wanting to say something. However, he slowly closed his mouth.With Quentin’s intervention, the results came out in two hours.Seeing the words on the report, Winona felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her head.It confirmed a parent-child relationship.Tommy really had a son, and he had had one for seven years.How old was he seven years ago? He was just 18!Without ev
Penny remained silent, then remembered that this was indeed the case. She responded with a noncommittal, “Mmm.”Caleb felt a lot better upon hearing this, but before he could say anything more, the call abruptly ended.In the following time, he was busy with the documents in hand while keeping an eye on his phone.After ten minutes, he tentatively sent her a message.It was a mere question mark: [?]The response was still the same. The message had been sent but was rejected by the recipient.Caleb frowned as he glanced at the time on his phone. He wondered why she was ignoring him when they had just spoken ten minutes ago.Penny, on the other hand, was busy with the contract with Jackson and had forgotten about Caleb after hanging up.After wrapping up the contract, she was led to meet Jackson in person.Penny pondered over Taliah, the actress currently under Jackson’s management.Taliah had only played a minor role in a TV show, yet her performance was notably impressive—esp
He took out his phone, thought for a moment, and then dialed Francis’ number.Nevertheless, Francis did not answer.Caleb took a deep breath, was silent for half a minute, and then told Sebastian, “Call Fergerson Mansion and say I’ll be coming for dinner tonight.”Sebastian promptly did so.At seven in the evening, Caleb arrived at Fergerson Mansion on time.Francis was playing chess alone on the sofa, with many pieces already on the board, indicating the game was nearing its end.When Caleb saw his grandfather about to retract a piece and find a new place to place it, he could not help but say, “You can’t retreat once you’ve put it down.”Unexpectedly, Francis looked up at him.“You’re right. I shouldn’t retreat. So what brings you here tonight?”The old man saw right through Caleb’s intentions.Caleb was obviously here because he thought Penny would listen to him, so Caleb wanted the old man’s help.Caleb lowered his lashes and placed the gift he brought on the coffee tabl
Upon hearing this, Francis chuckled coldly.“I can’t bring myself to lose face like that, especially after I bragged to Penny about how great my grandson is. And yet, she still hasn’t taken a liking to you.”Caleb felt another sting and pursed his lips.“Grandpa, don’t you also wish for her to become your granddaughter-in-law?”Francis huffed coldly again.“I won’t force Penny. If you can’t manage to remarry her yourself, then get out and don’t disturb my meal.”He was utterly merciless.Caleb stood up, indeed preparing to leave.As he was about to leave, he even planned to take the painting he had brought.“You insolent brat!”Francis was so angry that he swung his cane at Caleb, who then put the painting back down.Back in the car, Caleb looked at the scenery outside.Finally, he said to Sebastian, “Let’s go back to Kensington Gardens.”This matter would have to be done slowly.…Meanwhile, at another bar, Jade got herself drunk. She was utterly inebriated. Ever since
Yet Penny obviously would not appear in such a place. Ever since the rumors with Jackson hit the trending searches, she wanted the company to spend some money to reduce the spread.However, before S.M. could act, someone else had already lowered the search ranking.She frowned, not knowing who it was. Anyway, she proceeded with the original plan to find the artist under Jackson’s management, Taliah.Unbeknownst to her, because of the trending search with Jackson, Taliah was furiously cursing at her in her house.“Who is this old woman? How could she be trending with Mr. Jackson?!“Could he have truly terminated the contract because of her?”Since Jackson left, the company had assigned her a new agent.The agent advised her, “You should focus on shooting this production well.”“How can I do it well? Mr. Jackson isn’t with me anymore. How can I shoot? If you want me to act, fine. Then bring him back!”Although Taliah had only acted in one TV show, she already had over five milli
Though Taliah said she would not meet with Penny, the way she replied seemed almost as if she was self-recommending.It was as though she was telling Penny, 'I have super good acting skills. I’m a candidate for Best Actress, so you should hurry up and scout me. Do you hear me?!'Unsure if it was just her own illusion, Penny even sensed her eagerness.[Our company just signed a contract with Jackson today, and since you’re one of his artists, we all have high hopes for you. Can we set a time to talk?]Taliah narrowed her eyes. She really, really wanted to go because Jackson was there! Nonetheless, she could not let Penny see her eagerness, so she replied:[That old fart ditched me and ran away. Do you think I’d eagerly go looking for him? Haha, if Jackson Cole’s there, I definitely won’t be joining. Don’t bother me while I’m filming. I’m aiming to win Best Actress, goodbye.]The message was filled with the petulance of a child.Penny found it amusing and glanced at the informat
After hanging up the phone, Winona looked at the door in front of her.She tentatively touched it, only for the door to be pulled open from the inside by Tommy.“Win, why are you back so late?” he asked in his usual gentle tone.Winona could not understand men. How could they still be gentle after committing such heartless acts?She opened her mouth but did not know what to say.Tommy, however, pulled her into the house and sat her down on the sofa. “Guess what I bought for you this time?”Winona did not want to guess. She then saw him take out a delicate bracelet from a famous brand, probably worth over three grand.In the past, she had never allowed herself such luxury due to the burden of her mortgage.Tommy placed the bracelet on her wrist, coaxing her with his tone. “I’m sorry for losing my temper this morning, but you have to understand that my work is really busy. I deal with so many clients, some with odd temperaments, which makes it hard for me. So, I might've been
