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,
