Caleb felt troubled in his heart, but his face remained calm. “I got it.”Aurelia, on the side, heard this but could not argue back due to Sir Fergerson’s frail health.Only after Caleb walked out of the living room did she follow after him.“Caleb, are you really going to see Zane Sullivan?”Caleb paused. He was now standing in the Fergersons’ garden where Sir Fergerson could not hear their conversation from the living room.His eyes were slightly lowered, and his thin lips were pursed. His facial features revealed a sharp and cold aura.“No, I’m not.”Aurelia let out a sigh of relief before saying in a disdainful tone, “I saw Zane in the morning. He was full of energy then, nothing like someone who’s sick. I think he’s just intentionally causing trouble while your grandfather is here. Don’t let them deceive you. They always resort to these lowly tactics. If you really go to see him, you’ll be falling into their trap.”It was truly despicable how they took advantage of Sir Fer
“Do you want to give a call to Dawn Haven Villa?”“Go ahead.”His tone was indifferent as he felt inexplicably annoyed about the upcoming meeting with Penny.He had always been punctual, but the other party had stood him up twice in a row.It was truly uncultured behavior.Sebastian took out his phone and made a call to Dawn Haven Villa.When Lucy received the call, she was startled. Mr. Fergerson was coming tonight?!After hanging up, she quickly had someone hide Nani in the back room and thoroughly disinfect every corner of the house, making sure not a single dog hair was left behind.The servants were efficient in their work, and they routinely disinfected the place every day anyway. In less than half an hour, the task was completed.Lucy breathed a sigh of relief but then remembered that Penny had not returned yet. She wondered if she should call and inform her.Just as she took out her phone, she heard the sound of a car engine coming from outside. She hurriedly went out
Caleb furrowed his brows but did not dwell on it. Instead, he turned and walked to the nearby table, continuing to read work emails.Early the next morning, he came downstairs, and Lucy brought out an English breakfast.Caleb glanced around the living room but did not see the lady of the house.Lucy seemed to know who he was looking for and quickly explained.“Ms. Sullivan was a bit tired from yesterday, so she asked me not to wake her up this morning.”Caleb also thought about Zane being hospitalized. She probably came back from the hospital late last night.However, was Zane not just intentionally feigning illness?There was a trace of coolness on his thin lips. He finished his breakfast slowly before getting into the car parked outside.On the first night of him staying at Dawn Haven Villa, he did not see his wife whom he had never seen in three years.He did not know if she was being patient or deliberately trying to pique his interest.If it was the latter, then she had
A smile appeared on Sir Fergerson’s face as he patted her hand. “So, you’re saying you’re willing to have a child with Caleb?” Penny nodded, her lips curling up as sincerity filled her eyes. “Yes, I’m willing.” Sir Fergerson was practically beaming ear to ear. “That’s good. You can rest assured that no matter whether it’s a boy or a girl, I will love the child all the same.” Penny did not dare to say too much on this topic, fearing it would raise Sir Fergerson’s expectations too much. If those expectations were not met, it would be even harder for his body to bear.She timely diverted the conversation to other topics and spent an hour with him before leaving the Fergersons’ mansion. As she walked out and was about to get in the car, she ran into Jade. Jade was wearing large sunglasses on her face. She did not expect to bump into Penny here and was somewhat surprised. “Penny? What are you doing here?” She did not see Penny coming out of the Fergersons’ mansion. She only
Caleb’s eyes were filled with a strong hint of mockery, and his lips tightened coldly at the corners.“Grandpa, did she say this herself?”“Yes, Penny is a sensible girl.”Jade handed over the medicinal concoction and wanted to add her two cents. What did he mean by that girl was sensible? Who in the entire Imperial City would not want to have a child with Caleb?That woman was truly scheming to even say such things to Grandpa.Out of consideration for Grandpa’s health, Caleb would definitely agree, even if it was just a verbal agreement.She truly wanted to see in two days just how thick-skinned that woman was to dare to speak of such things!However, when Jade met Caleb’s gaze, she had no choice but to slowly shut her mouth.Caleb handed the medicinal concoction to his grandfather and said, “I’ll do my best, Grandpa.”The response was the same as before, but whether he actually made an effort or not, Sir Fergerson had no idea anyway.“I’m going to Dawn Haven Villa tonight t
"Don’t worry, Mr. Cain. I’ve already prepared the contract. As long as you come in person, our cooperation can be established.”A gleam of light flashed across Sherman’s eyes. Three-S Corporation had stood firm in the country for many years, and over half of the renovation teams relied on their supplies. If he could sign a contract with Three-S Corporation at a low price, it would indeed be a big profit for him.“Alright, Mr. Tate. I’ll be there in half an hour.”Mr. Cain hung up the phone with a beaming smile. He instructed his assistant to make preparations and grabbed his coat from the side. He then headed for the elevator.As he arrived downstairs and just as his assistant pulled the car up in front of him, he heard a voice from behind.“Mr. Cain.”Sherman froze, and the smile on his face vanished as he turned to look at Penny.Penny maintained her cold demeanor and nodded slightly. “Since you didn’t answer my call, I could only wait here and hope that our previous contract
Penny felt cornered."Mr. Tate, let me know where and when. It seems that I’m left with no other choice but to agree to your request."Jeremy smiled as he liked how straightforward Penny was.A wise woman would recognize her circumstances.He heard that she put Andy Williams in his place and that she was romantically involved with Caleb. He found it interesting to conquer a woman like her."Penny, I'll send a car to come fetch you."At Pavilion Tower, Penny got out of the car and immediately saw Jeremy standing at the entrance. He looked like a ladies’ man with his white suit and the large bouquet of roses in his hand.He walked toward her as soon as she stood still."Hey Penny, you look wonderful. These are for you."Penny did not take the flowers but smiled and asked, "Mr. Tate, do you treat all your business partners like this?""Penny, you’re more than a business partner to me. Let's go. I booked the largest private room in the restaurant. I was told that we can see the w
Selina's complexion turned even paler. She thought that the previous incident was the most embarrassing moment in her life. Unexpectedly, the situation that she was currently in topped that.Tears welled up in her eyes. Selina felt that her dignity was being trampled on the ground, especially since Jeremy was around. She could not take the shame and ran away crying.Penny did not react to her outburst and closed the elevator doors.She was calm and held her own with these well-known socialites. Penny came fully prepared for her negotiation with Jeremy.Jeremy stood beside her, his tone gentle and his intention self-evident when he spoke."Penny, there'll be a grand fireworks display in Imperial City tonight. We can see the show from our private room."Penny raised her eyebrows. Grand fireworks display?The entire sky above Imperial City would be shrouded in fireworks every New Year. Those from other cities would make a trip over just to admire it.However, she had never heard o
