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
Penny stroked her head and almost shed tears when she thought of that video.When Nani was happy, she used to run circles around her. Now, as she was lacking energy, she only managed to bark several times before sitting down."I'm sorry, I'll never leave you at Kensington Gardens again."Penny held her head, gently massaging it.Nani's ears moved comfortably.After spending two hours with Nani, Penny drove back. Before leaving, she repeatedly instructed Nani, "You need to stay here to heal. I can't take you with me. When you've recovered, I'll bring you home, okay? Be good."Nani, understanding human emotions, sensed her owner's feelings. Although she was reluctant, she obediently stood still. She wagged her tail but did not step forward.Penny found her so adorable that she could not resist taking a photo and posting it on her social media: [The recovering Nani.]Caleb was the first to like the post, and Penny even thought he was constantly refreshing his feed.After liking t
However, Nani was smart. Penny wondered if she might become anxious because of this new dog's arrival.She looked down at the larger dog and asked Caleb, "What's its name?"Caleb had not named him yet. Seeing her interest, he smiled slightly, "What would you like to call him?""Blanche," she suggested.Penny realized Blanche was truly strong. She had thought Nani was strong among dogs, but Blanche seemed even more formidable.She quite liked him, but she still had to see how Nani would react."Let's keep him here for now. When Nani comes back, we'll see if the two dogs get along."Dog?Caleb paused for a moment but did not say anything.If she thought Blanche was a dog, then he was a dog. After all, most people would only think that Blanche was unusually large and would not guess he was a wolf.Penny untied the leash from Blanche and removed the humiliating bow and bell from the Alpha.Blanche sat on the ground with his head held high, almost reaching Penny's chest.She had
Penny immediately put down her spatula and grabbed Caleb's hand. She took away the kitchen knife and placed it aside."Go to the bathroom."Caleb, who was squinting his eyes, was pushed toward the first-floor bathroom.Penny scooped up some clean water with both hands and splashed it over his eyes."Bend over, or your clothes will get wet."He quickly bent over, his eyes still burning painfully.Penny repeatedly rinsed his eyes many times. Finally, she grabbed his hands, squeezed some hand soap into her palm, and meticulously massaged each of his fingers.After rinsing off the foam, she applied soap a second time to wash off the garlic scent from his hands.Penny grabbed a face towel nearby and dried his fingers. Then, she held his chin with one hand, tilting his head up slightly."How is it? Do your eyes still hurt?"The two were so close they could feel each other's breath.Caleb's eyes were still red. It was slightly painful but not unbearable."I feel like I'm going bli
