Chapter 929 You Don’t Like Me, Yet You Always Go Easy On Me

Author: Twin Bridge
Penny turned around, and she soon heard trickling sounds.

Then, she heard him getting himself toilet paper before he flushed the toilet.

Caleb was truly a clean freak even when it came to himself, to the point where it was slightly ridiculous.

Penny helped him over to the sink so that he could wash his hands.

As water gushed from the tap, she heard him ask, “How’s Nani?”

Sure enough, though his anger had driven him to speak harshly last night, they were not his true feelings.

“She’s not in any imminent danger anymore.”

“Alright.”

Their conversation was extremely dry.

When Caleb finished washing his hands, Penny grabbed a wipe so she could wipe his fingers for him.

Caleb was extremely tall, and all he needed to do to embrace her was to extend his arms slightly.

However, he did not do that. All he did instead was lower his head and watch her wipe his fingers carefully.

She tossed the wipe into the nearby trash can once she was done.

    Penny glanced at the clock. It was getting late, and she had to get back home. However, Caleb had decided to give her another task. She had no choice but to stay and retrieve the documents he needed from the study. She was about to enter the room again when she heard Sebastian on the phone. It sounded like he was talking to Fergerson Corporation’s higher management. “So? Has Harrison been dealing with all the documents lately? I don’t think he has the right to do that yet.” No wonder they had not been receiving any work documents for the past two days. Harrison had been taking care of them all. The upper management hemmed and hawed. It was evident they all believed that Harrison would be taking over as president of the company soon. After all, the deadline on the bet Caleb had made with Automobile Maestros was nearing, but he had not done anything yet. Caleb had not even been to work at Fergerson Corporation for the past half a month. Did that not mean he had already given

    Francis seemed to know she was coming and greeted her warmly, inviting her to sit down."Penpen, are you feeling better?"Penny breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sir Fergerson was in good spirits."Grandpa Fergerson, shall I join you for a game of chess?"Francis raised an eyebrow and then smiled, "Sure."The butler quickly set up the chessboard.Penny sat down properly, picked up a chess piece, and made the first move on the board.Francis was skilled in chess, and knew Penny was also quite talented, so he asked, "Are you determined to win this time?"Penny did not reply, focusing intently on the game.After a while, she took Sir Fergerson's castle, declaring, "Check."Realizing Penny's seriousness, Francis also got serious and moved his other pieces to block her attack.Finally, with only five pieces left on each side, Penny set down her chess piece."Grandpa Fergerson, I want to ask you to give Caleb 15% of your shares in your hands."At this moment, Francis c

    When Sir Fergerson had declared him as the heir to the Fergerson Corporation, he also announced that these 15% shares would not be transferred to anyone until his death. Thus, everyone in the Fergersons knew that Sir Fergerson's shares were a variable.Now that Sir Fergerson had transferred his shares to him, it would surely infuriate others if they found out.Although Caleb was not too concerned about these shares, considering the ploy he set up for Harrison with Automobile Maestros and having informed Sir Fergerson not to worry about it.So, Sir Fergerson's decision to transfer the shares at this juncture must have been triggered by some event.He promptly called Francis, who answered quickly, and seemed to be in a good mood."Grandpa, why did you suddenly decide to give me the shares?"He had been quite sensible and never held much hope for these shares.Francis was enjoying tea in the garden, playing chess with the butler, looking content."I felt like giving them, and I ag

    Caleb wanted to turn around as well, but the wound on his chest hurt whenever he moved.Hearing his restlessness, Penny turned back and lay flat. She stared at the ceiling."You'd better not move around too much with your wound. Don't lie on your side.""Then don't turn your back on me."For a moment, Penny thought he was behaving like a 24-year-old child.She smiled slightly and closed her eyes. "Okay."Half an hour later, she felt someone trying to hold her hand. He first hooked one finger, then two.She did not want to care anymore and ignored him.Ten minutes later, her hand was pulled over and placed on something.Unable to tolerate it any longer, Penny was about to pull her hand back when his hand covered hers. He let out a muffled groan.She felt as if she was thrown into a furnace and found the situation incredibly embarrassing. Ironically, it should have been Caleb feeling the most embarrassed.However, as she slightly turned her head and saw his Adam's apple bobbin

    When Penny returned to the company, she found that recent affairs had been handled meticulously.Jackson had already been discharged from the hospital. He had selected the most promising group of artists, and preparations were underway for Raven's entry into Hollywood.Raven had completed several treatments for her hand. She was to play a mermaid in her upcoming role, a character that required a stunning makeup look and a mysterious and lofty presence in the movie.For a newcomer like Raven, debuting in Hollywood was an unreachable peak for many domestic actors.Many acclaimed actors and actresses in the country had tried hard to audition for Hollywood roles, only to find their scenes completely cut from the movies upon release.Hollywood had always been skeptical about artists from Hawkins Nation, though a few actors from Balhime had collaborated with them.Therefore, Zach, Raven, and Taliah were destined to cause a stir in the domestic entertainment industry.Penny had promise

    Standing at her doorstep, Raven heard Sam's voice coming from inside."Mr. and Mrs. Claude, this is a gift for you."There was no response from Rose and Wendell.Raven pushed the door open and saw the couple shaking with anger. They had probably never encountered someone so shamelessly thick-skinned and sinister.Several bodyguards were inside the room. They were clearly not the friendly type.Upon seeing Raven return, Sam placed the gift he was holding on the coffee table and took out a larger gift bag."Rave, this is for you."Just like before, Sam used to occasionally bring gifts, but to maintain his delivery man persona, they were usually food items. Now, since he was no longer pretending, his gifts were all from high-end brands.Raven felt disgusted but did not react hysterically. Instead, she swept the gifts off the coffee table and placed her own cake there.Only then did Sam pat his head."Goodness me, I forgot that today's Mrs. Claude’s birthday. I’ll have a bigger c

    After Sam left, Raven immediately called Penny."Ms. Sullivan, you need to be careful with the Baileys, especially Sam. He said that what happened to Jeanie was done by Mr. Fergerson, and he mentioned he would continue to target you. His methods are quite dirty, and not everyone can handle him."At that moment, Penny was still working overtime in the office. Hearing this, she was not at all surprised.She was aware of Sam's reputation for being outrageous and bold. He even dared to shoot people on the main road, showing a total disregard for law and morals."I understand, Raven. Be careful yourself and try not to get involved with such people."Penny ended the call and glanced at the time. It was already 8:00 pm.She had not had dinner yet and made another call to the animal hospital to ensure Nani was recovering, which eased her mind.Caught up in her busy work schedule and planning how to set up a trap for Astral Motion, she momentarily forgot her promise to visit Caleb that e

    Taliah suddenly snapped out of her act and quickly gulped down a shot of vodka.Winona could not bear to watch any longer. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Penny about to take a call. With the music in the private room too loud, Penny stood up to leave, and Zach followed her out.Penny's call was from Caleb. It was already 10:00 pm, and she had not come to visit him yet. She promised that she would come over tonight.Penny found a quiet spot."What's up?" she asked."Penny, where are you?" Caleb inquired."I'm having dinner with the staff," she replied, leaning against a nearby wall. It was only at this moment that she remembered her promise to visit him tonight."I might be a bit late tonight."Just as she finished speaking, she heard Zach's voice behind her."Ms. Sullivan?"Penny, somewhat oblivious in matters of the heart, thought he wanted to report on his experiences in Hollywood and covered the phone."Zach, you go back in first. I'll be done here soon."However,

    Penny was displeased but was too shy to voice it out. Her body felt empty.“Are you happy that he’s back?” “No.” “Then, do you want me?” Penny bit her lip. He had caused sweat to break out across her body. Caleb’s phone rang. Finn was on the other end of the line. He answered the phone, and Finn’s voice rang out. “Imperial City is going to be in chaos tonight. The higher-ups are hunting for the results of Caspian's experiments, and even Uncle Shawn is getting involved in this. "He just called and told me that the higher-ups contacted him and basically forced him to agree to convince Caspian to give them the results. "Cas has also contacted the higher-ups himself and told them that unless Penny is by his side, the mental torture he was subjected to will stop him from recalling where he’s put the chip.” It was a matter of national security, and this was what Caspian was using as his bartering chip the minute he returned. There was no doubt the higher-ups would put a

    Penny had made it out of the room by then. Her face was deathly pale. “Penny!” Caleb ran after her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her behind a pillar where no one could see them. Caleb knew what was going through her mind, and he held her face in his hands. She did not look at him. Her chest heaved as she struggled to process the truth. Caleb did not know what to say and merely brushed the tip of his nose against hers. When she did not resist, he slowly moved down and kissed her. He knew why Caspian had chosen this sort of appearance. Not only would he manage to devastate Penny, but he could also announce to everyone that he was Penny’s first love. That way, he could also cause Caleb to find himself in a sticky situation. However, Caleb could not care less. As he kissed Penny, he tightened his arms around her waist. Their breaths turned ragged as they continued kissing for another ten minutes. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder. His back was slig

    Despite everyone staring at him, Caleb only had eyes for Penny. Penny did not know the reason behind that, and her brows were knitted together tightly as she watched Caspian make his way down from the second floor. He took the ring from the host and placed it before her solemnly. “I’m here to fulfill my promise, Penpen.” Penny wanted to smack his hand away, but he slowly bent over and smiled as he took her hand. He tried to put the ring on her finger, but his actions were stopped by someone else. He looked in the direction where the hand had come from, and his gaze met Caleb. “Long time no see, Caleb.” Caleb pulled Penny from her seat into his arms. She was left with no choice but to sit on his lap. Caleb could not care less about whatever sort of tricks Caspian would pull. If he allowed Caspian to put that finger on Penny’s finger, he would change his last name! Penny wanted to struggle out of his grasp, but the warmth of his body caused her to stop. He was still

    Some people were speculating if they had gotten back together again, and some were even wondering if Caleb was blind. Why did he pass on Khloe Strauss and choose a designer who did not come from a prestigious family? No matter how well Penny ran her company, these people would still view her as a lowly designer fighting to make a name for herself in the market. She ignored everyone else’s stares and merely took a piece of tissue. She turned slightly to wipe the sweat from Caleb’s forehead. Caleb opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. The two did not say anything. Plenty of people were standing around them, but the light above their heads seemed to have enveloped them in a world of their own. Penny felt her heart rate increase as she clutched the tissue and returned her gaze to the stage. “This is a piece of emerald that Mr. Winston Hill has donated. Bidding starts at three million dollars.” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Winston. Winston smiled at everyone as he int

His lowered lashes cast a shadow.He stood up and heard Ethan say again, "Leave your phone."Sean chuckled. "Ethan, you're being too serious right now."He left his phone behind and went upstairs.Khloe continued to sway Ethan's shoulders."Ethan, I had Wind take action against Penny tonight. This time, success is mandatory. Failure is not an option."Ethan's expression turned grave instantly. "Didn't I tell you not to act on your own?""But I nearly lost my life because of her, twice."After saying this, she touched the area over her heart, her complexion turning pale in a moment."Khlo?"This time, Khloe genuinely felt discomfort in her heart, and the next second, she fainted."Khlo!"Ethan was no longer concerned about reprimanding her and immediately took her to the hospital.…Tonight, the

    Penny stood still for a while, feeling unsettled as she got back into the car.Firstly, it was due to her situation with Caleb. Secondly, it was because of Ethan's words. Was something about to happen?She looked up, intending to speak with Winona. However, she suddenly heard Winona's soft sobs. She was lying on the steering wheel, so engrossed in her emotions that she did not notice Penny getting into the car."Winona?" Penny called out.Awakened from her daze, Winona quickly sat up straight. "Ms. Sullivan.""Did your ex-boyfriend come looking for you again? Haven't you already paid him back? Won't his family let you be?""That’s not it.""Is it because he and that woman are getting married? Did they send you a wedding invitation, which made you feel upset?""No."Then what was it?Penny knew that the family situations of the people close to her were quite simple.

On the contrary, they had strength in numbers. Khloe was just discharged from the hospital today and was planning to welcome friends who had come all the way from Americana to see her.Seeing Penny alone, she felt a surge of satisfaction.Given her status as Ms. Strauss, she had many friends in Americana and would never be as isolated as Penny.She had specifically called Linda over, knowing Linda's temper was explosive.
