Given the tone, there was no doubt it was from Khloe. Penny ignored the text message. After all, she owned 95% of the company’s shares. No one could acquire her company unless she consented. Now, her most urgent piece of business was to resolve the sticky situation they were in.What she did not know was that Khloe had already called Sean and whined to him. “Sean, you know that I like Caleb, don’t you? Please, Sean, can you get rid of that woman? If you don’t, I’ll travel to Imperial City without telling Mom or Ethan!”Sean felt his head begin to throb. “You have to stay at home, Khloe. Who knows? The person who you were exchanging letters with might not even be Caleb.” “It’s him! I already hired an expert to analyze the handwriting, and it’s his handwriting. He’s just refusing to admit it.” An image of Penny’s face appeared in Sean’s mind, and he tried asking, “What are you planning to do to her?” “I hate each and every woman who’s standing next to Cally. Do you thin
Sean hurriedly stood in front of Penny protectively. An ugly look appeared on his face when he saw the containers scattered across the floor. “Caleb Fergerson, did you even think about what would happen if her face got burnt and disfigured?” Caleb put the cigarette in his mouth and said coolly, “Perfect. That would stop her from seducing men left and right.” He was subtly insulting Sean.Holy fuck!Sean fought the urge to ball his hands into fists. Caleb did not stay much longer. In fact, he did not even bother checking to see how Penny was before he left. Sean was so angry that he wanted to run after him. “How dare he have the balls to call himself a man? How could you bully a woman that way?!” However, Penny reached out and grabbed him. Sean became even more agitated. “Let go, Penny. I’m going to teach him a lesson on your behalf. He’s going to regret what he’s done.” Penny bent down and began picking up the containers. A wave of sadness washed over Sean as he w
When Francis saw him, he pointed at the dining table from the couch, where he was seated. “Grab yourself something to eat and then tell me what on earth your uncle is up to. You can also tell me about the agreement you’ve got going on with Automobile Maestros after that.” Caleb did not have an appetite, and he sat down next to Sir Fergerson. “You don’t need to get yourself all bothered about these issues, Grandpa.” Francis grabbed his walking cane and used it to clobber Caleb. “Do you think I want to get involved? It’s because of all the chaos the Fergerson family is experiencing now! What on earth are you doing? You can’t land a wife, and you can’t run the company properly either!” Annoyance washed over Caleb after getting hit.“Did you think I wasn’t trying? Sean Strauss got her to leave me by offering her company three artist slots in the next Hollywood production!” That confused Sir Fergerson as well, and he lowered his walking cane. “That cheap?”The word 'cheap'
Upstairs, Caleb took all his suits and tossed them onto the bed. When Sebastian arrived, he packed everything up dutifully. As Caleb stood in front of the empty closet, he found his gaze landing on that small box once more. “Everything’s been packed, Mr. Fergerson.” Sebastian’s voice rang out behind him. He closed the closet doors and swept his gaze across the entire room once more. Finally, his gaze landed on the shelves by the window. He could still practically taste the gentle atmosphere that had permeated the room last night. Yet, she had turned so cold and heartless in the blink of an eye. His gaze lowered as he stepped out of the room. Just as he was about to get into the car, Nani popped out of nowhere and sank her teeth into one of his pant legs. Nani had taken a liking to Caleb the first time they met, and she had always tried everything she could to stay near him before he and Penny had gotten divorced. Besides, he was the one who had taken her to the vet
Her brows furrowed instantly as she pulled out the document. She turned to Jackson."Jackson, Winona, what is this about?"The name and face were familiar.It was the woman who had been replaced by Jeanie, the one with injured hands. Penny had promised to find the best doctor for her if she agreed to act alongside Taliah in showing a sisterly bond.Now, the woman was already receiving treatment, but when did she sign with S.M.? Moreover, Penny was only finding out now.Jackson stood up. "Ms. Sullivan, this has nothing to do with Winona. I took the initiative to sign her.""Why?"Jackson, a talented and top agent, would not sign someone without reason.This young woman must have some natural gift to be chosen by him.“She has exceptional talent and natural acting skills. She's even more gifted than Taliah, who still needs polishing. This young woman, on the other hand, seems to have been blessed with her talent. "She expressed her desire to pursue this path, and I personally
After Zach left, Taliah hurriedly arrived.When she learned that she could play a role in Hollywood, she almost jumped up to hug Penny. She kissed the contract repeatedly, swearing never to let Penny down. She then left with tearful eyes.The calmest of the three was Raven.Raven's hands were still not strong enough to grip things properly, so she took her time reading the contract. She spent ten minutes to carefully sign her name.When leaving, she simply hugged Penny lightly without saying a word.However, this was the most touching gesture of them all for Penny.Raven's parents were trash collectors. She, once a proud and cherished daughter, never thought she would rise again after being pushed to the brink by the Baileys.Jackson was right; Raven was enduring and strong, like a rose in the desert. Her appearance was also striking.By the time everything was over, it was almost 1:00 am.Penny, utterly exhausted, was driven back by Winona. She almost fell asleep in the car.
Penny had previously posted about Nani's situation on her social media, and those who had seen the post knew how important Nani was to her.After Sean was done cursing, he sighed."Actually, my sister just doesn't want you two together. So, you just need to make Caleb dislike you and reduce your meetings with him. If you do meet, make him detest you. Penny, my sister is pampered by my brother, and you won't be able to withstand his attacks."It seemed Sean was also looking out for her welfare.Penny lowered her lashes. "I understand."She blamed herself for being too weak and unable to act rashly.S.M. was in a growth phase, and many had staked their livelihoods on her. The burden on her shoulders was too heavy, so she dared not act impulsively."I'll make him detest me. What I said yesterday should've already made him detest me."She laughed self-deprecatingly, then heard Sean ask, "Do you like him?"Penny stiffened, her grip on the phone tightening involuntarily."I'm not s
This incident revealed Harrison's absolute certainty in Caleb's defeat.Otherwise, he would not dare be so brazen.Penny glanced behind Harrison and called out, "Caleb?"Stiffening, Harrison instinctively withdrew his hand. Upon turning around and seeing no one, he realized he had been tricked.When he looked back at Penny, her face was full of scornful amusement."Mr. Harrison, you seemed so sure of your victory, but deep down, it seems you still somewhat fear Caleb."Harrison, having his most secret thoughts exposed, felt humiliated and raised his hand to slap her.“You bitch!”Penny could have dodged, but noticing a figure in her peripheral vision, she deliberately took the slap.Her cheek burned with pain.After slapping her, Harrison sneered, "Who do you think you are to mock me?"However, his triumph was short-lived. A man's voice sounded from behind him."Uncle Harri."Caleb, fighting back murderous rage, fixed a cold gaze on Penny."What are you doing at Fergers
