Chelsea was smug, boasting to her few toxic friends that Caleb had taken her to bed and was fiercely passionate.However, no one believed her. After all, Chelsea was just a minor internet celebrity with only a few hundred thousand followers. Previously, when she wanted to sign with S.M., everyone thought the matter was a shoo-in because her acting was decent enough.Even so, just as Chelsea bragged about becoming a star, she was cut off and became a laughingstock instead.Her current claim was taken as a joke by everyone.Chelsea knew these people did not believe her and scoffed.When Mr. Fergerson secured her the resources from S.M., these people would be fawning over her.Penny, after hanging up the phone, stared blankly at the documents in front of her. She was unable to focus anymore.The intense feelings from last night still lingered in her body, and she had not expected him to have the energy to go for another round with another woman.She laughed mockingly at herself.
His heart involuntarily softened.The misunderstanding between Raven and Jeanie could not be resolved for the time being, so he had to wait for the right opportunity to make these two reconcile."Sam, send some people over. I want Penny to pay tonight.""Okay."He immediately took out his phone and made several calls to his people to deal with Penny.Then, he planned to leave the Baileys’ residence.However, just as he reached the main gate, a courier guy stopped him."Mr. Sam, this was sent over here by Ms. Raven Claude."Sam's face changed at first, then a gentle smile appeared. Raven, knowing his true identity, had angrily sent him away. Now, she was sending him a gift? Could it be an offer of peace?His mouth curved slightly, the harshness on his face disappearing in an instant as he eagerly opened the box.However, seeing the contents, he slapped it away. His tone was ice-cold when he spoke, "What is this?"The courier started to visibly tremble."Ms. Claude said... th
Sam did not realize there was anything wrong with what he said in front of Raven's parents.Raven's mother fainted from anger, and her father was so furious he rolled his eyes back."Get out!"Seeing he could not wait for Raven here, Sam immediately left.At that moment, Raven was at the S.M. building. She had just come off the surgery table, but she swallowed some medication and rushed here to practice her acting skills.There were specialized teachers here, and she did not dare waste a moment.Penny was surprised to see her."Wait till your hands are healed before coming back. Otherwise, it won't be worth it if you're left with aftereffects.""Ms. Sullivan, don't worry. I'm not using my hands for now."Penny glanced at her complexion, feeling that she seemed exceptionally weak today."Raven, are you sick?"Raven shook her head, her face growing paler.Penny was the one who pulled her out of the mire. Raven knew it was wrong to hide her pregnancy, but now that everything h
However, Winona had to execute Penny's command.In recent days, the internet was flooded with criticisms against S.M. Netizens were accusing them of clout-chasing after Ford and now doing the same with The Final Battle. They said the company was resorting to low tactics.Penny, the CEO of the company, had been subjected to endless insults on social media.Some said she was just a fat woman who did not deserve to live.Others claimed she forcibly wanted Zach, and when Zach refused, she deliberately used this tactic to make him an international laughingstock.Additionally, Yosemite from Astral Motion Pictures also joined the fray with various sarcastic comments, leading netizens to eagerly use all sorts of words to defame Penny.Now, public opinion had almost reached its peak. If it was not stopped, the future impact on S.M. would be irreversible.Winona contacted the director, who generously published the list of selected Hawkins Nation actors on the international website. Zach's
At 7:00 pm, after work, Penny got into her car.Winona, still acting as her driver, took her back to Dawn Haven Villa.Penny was very tired today. Ever since Sebastian told her the news, she had been restless and desperately trying to keep herself calm.When Winona drove into a quiet road, she felt that several cars behind were following them."Ms. Sullivan, those cars behind us..."Before she could finish, she saw the cars speeding up, charging straight toward them!Winona was frightened, and she pressed the gas pedal as her face turned pale.However, her driving skills were average, and she could not outrun these desperate pursuers.Soon, three cars surrounded them.Sitting in the back, Penny straightened her back, her eyes cold. After a while, she said, "Winona, how's your swimming?""Decent.""Can you save yourself?""Yes.""Drive into the river. After we hit the water, don't worry about me and take care of yourself first.""But Ms. Sullivan..."Winona's palms were s
Penny stopped talking, feeling that there was something she missed out on regarding this situation.Caleb's hands were propped on the bed, his long, attractive fingers tapping the blanket."Penny, what do you mean by this? I saved you, but you seem disappointed. Were you expecting some lover of yours to rescue you?"As he spoke, his face darkened, and his eyes flashed with anger. Then, his lips curled up, showing obvious jealousy.Penny, however, had not heard him. As soon as he admitted it, her thoughts had drifted far away.There was that time at Imperial University and now this.It felt too unreal, so she had deluded herself into forgetting about the Imperial University incident, but this time...She looked at Caleb suspiciously.Caleb, sensing the inquiry and doubt in her eyes, got even angrier.He straightened up, his expression becoming thoroughly somber."You truly were hoping that someone else had saved you instead?""No."Worried he might wreck the hospital, Penny
His gaze was like a knife, ready to tear her apart piece by piece.Penny, feeling nervous, quietly clenched the bedsheet beneath her and swallowed.Seeing her not speaking, Caleb felt a surge of intense jealousy. It was as if his heart was pierced by something sharp.However, at that moment, Sebastian came to knock on the door."Mr. Fergerson, I've brought lunch."It was specially ordered by Caleb. He thought she could eat it once she woke up.He lowered his eyelashes and suppressed his emotions as he took the lunchbox from Sebastian.Sebastian, sensing the tense atmosphere in the room, quickly left.Once the door closed, Caleb returned to the bedside and laid out several delicate dishes.He stirred the mushroom soup with a spoon. After ensuring it was not too hot, he scooped some for her."Eat something first."Even if he wanted to kill her, she should at least be fed first.Penny, feeling exhausted, had not expected to talk in her sleep. She went through the script in her
Penny initially wanted to retort, but she suddenly remembered her promise to Sean.She had already taken his favor. Zach was already part of a Hollywood movie crew. Yet here she was, chatting and laughing with Caleb.Lowering her eyelashes, she tightly gripped the bedsheet, feeling guilty and reprehensible.However, she had to accept her fate. She could not compete with Khloe Strauss."You wouldn't know him even if I told you, Mr. Fergerson.""You two never did it... right?""Right."Caleb's tone was flat, his gaze equally unemotional. He looked at her, emotions churning in his eyes.He closed his eyes, then reopened them. He had regained his composure."If I make love to you more, will you forget him?""No."Caleb's hands hung naturally by his sides. Hearing her response, his fingertips curled slightly. His lips were in a slight smile, but his eyes were cold."Is that so? In comparison to him, am I that insignificant to you?"Penny did not want to continue the conversatio
