She felt Raven had made some sort of decision. One that, although not against the law, might go against her own conscience. Nonetheless, Raven was now an adult. She had weathered many storms.Penny saw the look in her eyes and knew that anything she said would be futile.She hesitated for two minutes before responding, "As long as you don't regret it."Raven did not say much. She quickly smoked one cigarette and then took out another.By this time, Penny was already back in her car.Meanwhile, Jeanie was on the phone, relishing her victory."That's how it went down. They were totally devastated. It was so satisfying, hahahaha.""You're this happy over such a trivial thing? Seems like Penny really got under your skin. Aren't you a Bailey? The Baileys are one of the leading families in Imperial City," the person on the other end poked at her sore spot.Jeanie felt stung by the comment.The crisp voice of the woman on the phone continued, "Anyway, do what you think is best. You
Penny immediately went to the kitchen downstairs, but upon opening the refrigerator, she realized Kensington Gardens did not have any flour for pancakes.She quickly headed to the nearest supermarket and bought a pack of all-purpose flour.It took her only about 20 minutes to buy the ingredients and cook the pancakes.When she placed the pancakes in front of Caleb, he looked at the dish with furrowed brows."That was quick," he remarked.Penny sat down, her face full of anticipation. "Yeah, try them and have a taste."She had used a pack of flour that could make over 30 pancakes. After adding some berries, syrup, and some icing sugar, the cost of making each pancake was less than a dollar.Caleb's expression cooled as he looked at her."Is this all you're making to appease me?""I've never made this for anyone else."That response instantly softened his mood."Really?"His lips curled up slightly. "Actually, this looks quite appetizing. It's got carbs, some sugar, and fruit
When Penny arrived at the company, Raven was already there.Penny had her team check the surveillance cameras around the company to look for suspicious vehicles.Jeanie had been successful with a car accident before, so it was highly likely she might repeat the same tactic.As expected, her team soon reported back. A large truck had been parked 200 meters from the company since the afternoon. It was an unusual sight given the area was surrounded by office buildings.Penny had her bodyguard dress in Winona's clothes, complete with a mask and hat, to impersonate Winona. Then, she had Raven follow the bodyguard into the car.This bodyguard was the best at racing in the entire Dawn Haven Villa and would lead the truck onto a bridge. The plan was for the car to plunge into the river, with Winona pretending to be rescued and Raven disappearing into the river.The plan was commenced.The car had not gone far before the truck started following them.Despite knowing the car would go int
Jeanie was strangled so hard that she could not breathe, and she was frantically slapping Sam's arm. For a moment, she thought she might actually be strangled to death.Her face turned beet red, and her eyes were bulging as if they were about to burst out of their sockets.Sam gripped her tightly and pushed her into the water.The water at the shore was shallow. Jeanie fell into it and was soaked all over.She looked at Sam in disbelief, as if she did not recognize him.A few minutes later, she awkwardly retreated, but this move sent her into deeper water.She became frantic, flailing to grab onto something. She nearly drowned.Sam did not look at her, his gaze remaining fixed on the boats searching along the river.Jeanie finally struggled back to shore. Her eyes were now red with tears with her temperamental nature resurfacing."Sam! Are you crazy?! You almost strangled me to death. What were you planning to do?!" She cried, wiping her tears in disarray.Sam was pushed ba
Winona did not get it, but she was about to drive anyway.However, her gaze landed on a car nearby. She froze.Hidden in the shadows resembled someone she knew.Frowning, she opened the window to get a clearer view, but the car had vanished.Wondering if she had hallucinated, she knew that the man she thought of would definitely not come to the hospital to see her.She closed the window and silently drove back to the company.Upon getting out of her car, Penny saw another vehicle stop in front of her. Sam got out, ignored her, and stormed into the building.There was a trace of coldness in her eyes, but she did not instruct the security to stop him.Evidently, Sam had failed to find anyone at the river and was now hoping Raven had secretly returned.Raven had been loving her work, so he thought she might be at S.M. Perhaps she was deliberately hiding from him to make him anxious.Nonetheless, he searched the top floor but found no one.The staff at S.M. looked at him as if h
The two bodyguards had already dragged Sam to the first floor. They initially thought of pushing him out via the stairs but feared being photographed by the press. That could potentially involve S.M. in a scandal.Thus, they carried Sam to a flower bed and dumped him there.Sam, who had driven himself to the location, probably had not anticipated that he would be pissed to the point of fainting after hearing Penny's words. Then, instead of calling an ambulance, she even had him thrown out.When Sam regained consciousness, his suit was covered with a thick layer of dust, stirred up by the passing cars.He lay in the roadside flower bed, and astonishingly, no one had taken him to the hospital.Consequently, the incident of Penny having the unconscious Sam thrown out of the building spread like wildfire within the circle.Many in the circle could not believe it. Everyone knew how cunning Sam was. If he targeted someone, he would not rest until he had inflicted significant damage.M
As soon as these words came out, murderous intent enveloped the surroundings.Jeanie was so frightened that she wanted to scream.At this moment, the bodyguards stepped forward. They propped her up and intended to take her to the second floor.Sam sat down slowly and said in a cold tone, "If you let her out next time, none of you will live."Both bodyguards shuddered and hurriedly escorted Jeanie to the second floor.Throughout this process, Jeanie was in shock. She was unable to believe that her brother had murderous intentions toward her.As she was about to be pushed into the room, she trembled as she asked a question, "Has my brother gone mad?"Sam was on the first floor and could not hear her words, but the bodyguards were scared pale."Ms. Bailey, you better stay inside for now. Mr. Sam has been in a bad mood lately. Haven't you noticed many people from the Baileys are gone?"Jeanie's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?"The bodyguard glanced around before whisperi
Upon hearing Finn's words, Penny thought that she had indeed been too talkative.There were so many domestic helpers in Kensington Gardens that Finn must have been asked the same question as soon as he stepped in.She nodded in agreement, only to hear Caleb continue the conversation, "Not now, but maybe in the future."This was a rebuttal to Finn's remark about Penny not being the lady of the house.He was just short of clearly expressing his feelings toward Penny.Yet Penny, who was sitting on the chair beside the bed, replied quickly, "It's hard to say."She was currently discussing with the higher-ups how to deal with Astral Motion and temporarily had no energy to think about romantic entanglements.Yet to Caleb's ears, this sounded like a tactful rejection.Plus, it was in front of Finn, no less.He did not even need to look up to know that Finn must be looking at him with a gloating and mocking gaze.He stared at the small table in front of him, grabbed a spoon, and used
