She did not speak. Bowing her head, she walked toward the elevator. However, she heard his voice.“I don’t care how many men you've been with in the past, but from now on, cut ties with them.”As soon as he finished speaking, Penny stopped and turned around to glare at him angrily. “May I ask, what is our relationship, Mr. Fergerson?”Caleb was taken aback by this question, and his brows were furrowed.Penny bit her teeth, feeling like she was about to burst from his infuriating attitude.“You brought me here because you were afraid I might have caught a disease. This shows what you think of me and that you don’t understand me at all. You don’t comprehend me, yet you have the nerve to say that you like me. Don’t you find that funny?“There isn’t a trace of trust in your kind of love!”After shouting, she suddenly felt it was pointless and just stared at him with red eyes.“From now on, stay away from me, and don’t bother me.”Caleb stood there, truly clueless about what he had
“Nathan.”She patted his shoulder.Yet suddenly, Nathan vomited without warning.Penny hurriedly called a nurse. After some examination, they determined it was a reaction caused by excessive fright.Penny waited there for another three hours, but Nathan still did not wake up.She had no choice but to pay for two hospital attendants to watch over him.As she was about to leave the ward, Nathan suddenly spoke up, “The Fergersons... Someone from the Fergersons. Pen... They chopped off my leg.”Nathan was no fool. After his foot was chopped off, driven by a strong will to survive, he crawled out of that alley. The two bodyguards had been under the streetlight, discussing how Jade had changed.Nathan, nearly fainting from pain, only caught a few words.“Are all the Fergersons a bit mentally unstable?”One was Aurelia, while the other was Jade. Both were mentally disturbed.Thus, Nathan knew that his leg had been chopped off by someone from the Fergersons.He did not know who the
When Penny visited Nathan’s ward for the second time, she chanced upon several people delivering a check. They were led by a lawyer.Long ago, Penny had met this man when he came to deliver divorce-related documents to her.This must be one of Caleb’s people, but why would Caleb’s men be in Nathan’s private ward?The lawyer approached Nathan, first explaining the pros and cons of the situation. They essentially advised Nathan not to call the police and offered financial compensation.“Mr. Easton, here's 30,000. We hope you keep this matter to yourself.”Nathan was mentally unstable at the moment, so he instinctively hid under the covers at the sight of strangers.He did not even understand the concept of a check. He just wanted to hide, fearing his other leg would also be chopped off.Penny, standing nearby, understood everything.This incident was indeed the Fergersons’ doing, and now, they were willing to pay to resolve it.She scoffed. “Who wrote this check?”The lawyer, r
“Nathan, you should rest for a while. Your emotions are quite unstable right now.”Nathan curled up, his lips trembling slightly.“They were terrifying. There were so many guns, so many knives. My mother crawled to the door, only to be dragged back. They were looking for something, something important to them. An emblem, yes! An emblem, to become the leader of the organization. They wanted the emblem.”Nathan mumbled to himself for a while while touching the empty space where his leg should be. His voice was quivering again.“My leg’s gone, my leg’s gone. I have to find Penny and tell her… I have no money. I’m so hungry.”Seeing him like this, Penny felt her heart aching.“It’s alright now. You’ve found me.”Nathan fell silent, seemingly soothed by her.Penny took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions.“You need to rest well now. I’ll have someone take care of you these few days. First, you need to recover. You’re too thin right now.”He was so thin that he was just skin
She had someone investigate the site of Nathan’s incident and quickly locked down the area.Indeed, there were many surveillance cameras in the area. Even so, Jade had him attacked right there, clearly not considering the consequences. She merely wanted Nathan to suffer.Penny approached an employee responsible for one of the surveillance cameras, but he was evasive and refused to hand over the footage from that night.“Who gave you such an order?”The employee immediately lowered his head. “Sorry, that footage has been deleted. All the recordings from that night have been erased. You’re a step too late.”Penny did not believe this excuse and went to check other cameras, only to find that indeed, everything had been thoroughly deleted.She felt a chill in her heart, immediately realizing that Caleb’s men were behind this.She looked around, hoping to find a forgotten surveillance camera. However, there was none.Since it was Caleb’s doing, the task must have been thoroughly exe
Outside the police station, news of the incident at the Fergerson Estate quickly reached the other Fergersons.Before this, Miles had already been forced by the old man to leave Imperial City. Now, with Jade’s incident and Aurelia’s situation, the entire Fergerson family was in chaos.Caleb was still in a meeting when he received a call from a staff member at the Fergerson Estate.Aurelia was hospitalized, and her life was hanging by a thread.Jade was in shock and had started talking nonsense.“Who did it?”“It was Penny Sullivan! She’s gone mad!”Caleb stiffened, thinking he had misheard. “Who?”“Penny! Penny came by today to see Ms. Fergerson and Madam Bailey. They had an altercation, and in her agitation, she pushed Madam Bailey down the stairs and hit Ms. Fergerson with a vase. When we arrived, we saw her holding the vase.”Penny could not have done this, but the staff insisted.“We've called the police. Penny has been taken away by them, Mr. Fergerson. Do you want to vi
Caleb’s face remained calm as he touched his cheek. He spoke calmly.“If my brother knew I gave it up for someone I like, he’d probably be quite happy.”Amber, for a moment, did not know what to say. She opened her mouth but could not utter a word.The Fergersons were not known for their deep emotions. Both Harrison and Miles had other women outside.Yet Caleb was willing to go to such lengths for Penny.Caleb looked up at the people standing there.“I’ll have Sebastian take care of the share transfer paperwork. Let me know when the rescue effort here is over.”Having said that, he turned to leave.Amber could not help but ask, “Your mother is lying in there, Caleb. Don’t you even want to stay here a bit longer?”“Aunt Amber, my standing here won’t affect the outcome of the rescue.”Amber felt a chill run through her body. She suddenly realized she did not truly understand this child.To say he lacked sophistication was one thing, yet he managed everything concerning the Fer
After Winona and Jackson left, Penny was taken back to the small room.Winona immediately rushed to Sky Lounge. She just needed to search on Google to know what Sean looked like, so she went looking for him with his picture.Soon, she saw Sean coming over with a woman. She faintly heard him say to the woman, “How about we skip the garden here and just enjoy some ‘berry’ sweet moments together?”Hearing this, Winona’s brows furrowed. Was this kind of man truly reliable?“Mr. Strauss.”She hurriedly stopped him.Sean paused, his flirtatious eyes still smiling. “And who are you?”“My CEO was taken to the police station. She told me to look for you.”“Your CEO is?”“Penny Sullivan.”The smile on Sean’s face disappeared almost instantly, and he slowly let go of the woman he was holding. His tone became serious.“Get in my car, and we can talk on the way.”Winona got into the car with him, sitting in the passenger seat.Sean closed the car door, his hands gripping the steering w
