Harrison's face first darkened, then took on a meaningful expression.He looked at the angry faces around him and sighed."You've all just witnessed it. Ever since he got involved with Penny, he's stopped caring about anything. We must oust him from the Fergersons while he still holds fewer shares."Amber's face also looked displeased. Caleb's actions were a slap in the face to the elders.Moreover, if he was really behind Sir Fergerson's situation, then he was acting recklessly and not taking everyone seriously.Harrison observed everyone's expressions and realized that no one was siding with Caleb anymore.If something happened to Sir Fergerson, this group could vote on whether to expel Caleb from the Fergerson family tree.Harrison's lips curved slightly, but he showed a facade of deep concern."Forget it. Let's try to persuade him for now to hand Dad back. Dad has always been in poor health and can't withstand any torment."Others joined the discussion."He's becoming mor
The room turned quiet after Francis was taken away. Then, Caspian’s voice rang out. “So what if you got your hands on the document? Without me, you won’t be able to do anything.” “That’s why I need your help. If you listen to me, I’ll spare Sir Fergerson's and Penny’s lives. Wasn’t she the reason you desperately wanted to escape back then?” No one answered him. The room managed to turn even quieter. Finally, Caspian sighed. However, his sigh was buried in darkness.…Caleb’s men searched the entire night, but none of them could find out where Francis was.Hence, he guessed that his grandfather must have left with them willingly. Else, there was no way to explain why he had not left some clues behind. After having assumed that position for so long, he would have at least honed a sense of vigilance.The butler called him again. “Mr. Caleb, we found some blood stains in Sir Fergerson’s bedroom wastebasket. It seems that his health has worsened and that things have not
“No.” Caleb answered flatly, obviously not interested in talking more about that man. Penny had never really looked into Caleb and Caspian’s relationship, but she had always known that Caspian was the Fergerson family's favorite while Caleb was the forgotten child. She did not bring up the topic again and merely sat in the passenger seat quietly. When they arrived at the Fergerson Mansion, she headed upstairs with Caleb. They stopped in front of a room locked from the outside. It was evident no one had been in there for a long time.Caleb went to get the keys from the butler, who decided against his better judgment to say, “Don’t touch anything in there, Mr. Caleb. Madam Yvette used to go into the room often.” Everyone knew that Yvette had always favored Caspian. Caleb unlocked the door. When they opened the door, they were greeted by a giant cloud of smoke. The curtains were drawn as well, making the entire room seem overcast. Penny was about to enter the room when
Penny could hear his conversation, but she did not know what he was talking about. She turned to look out the window, her heart consumed with worrying thoughts about Sir Fergerson. However, Caleb drove her back to S.M. and told her, “Focus on your work. Things at the Fergerson household are going to become quite hectic.” When he said things were going to become hectic, he meant he was going to deal with Harrison Fergerson and his men.Penny had no means of helping and thus nodded. Countless thoughts swirled about in Penny’s mind as she entered the building. Meanwhile, Caleb received a text message from Harrison asking him to drop by Fergerson Corporation.Caleb stepped on the gas. When he arrived at the building, he parked his car and headed to the top floor. The atmosphere on the top floor was odd. Harrison had been in charge of all the documents recently, and the employees had not seen Caleb in a long time. They seemed to have something they wanted to say. However, when
A frosty expression appeared on his face as he found himself another seat. “I’m sure you know the man beside you, Caleb. He's the president of Automobile Maestros.” Caleb leaned back against his chair, his well-defined muscles beneath his suit accentuating his shrewdness. “Yes, I do.”He replied curtly as he gazed at the man. “After all, we’d just signed an agreement.” Harrison sneered. “It’s good you remember him. The deadline on the bet you set with him is approaching soon, and as agreed, you’ll have to give up 20% of the shares you own in Fergerson Corporation if you don’t have ownership of 5% of Automobile Maestros’ shares.”“That’s right.” Caleb’s calm and unhurried demeanor was inexplicably annoying. After all, Caleb did not seem to care the slightest that Harrison had so many people on his side. Harrison felt the urge to let Caleb taste all the woes and sorrows the world had to offer. Harrison was about to say something when Liam, who was sitting beside Amber
“No need to treat Liam like that, Aunt Amber.” A bone-chilling look appeared in Caleb’s eyes, and Amber shuddered when his gaze landed on her.Though she always spoke of her son scornfully, everything she did was for his sake. She had slapped him before, but she had never left such a clear mark on his cheek. The only reason she slapped him just now was because she thought he was not living up to his potential and was wasting all the time she had invested in him.As she met Caleb’s gaze, Amber curled her hands into fists before speaking in a low voice. “Just keep quiet after this, Liam.” After all, what Harrison had just said was true. They had pooled their resources together into hiring a professional investigator, and Sir Fergerson still held a lot of power. If his disappearance turned into some massive conspiracy, it would affect dozens of people.As the mastermind, Caleb would definitely be severely punished, with the worst possible punishment being that his assets woul
Caleb's eyes narrowed. His brows and eyes exuded a calm and clear aura as his gaze swept over everyone present."Did I perhaps hurt your brain last time, Uncle Harri? Otherwise, why would you think you can threaten me?"This statement immediately made Harrison's face turn extremely ugly.Last time, Harrison had humiliated Penny to the extreme, only to be knocked unconscious by Caleb's kick.This incident was brought up again, but he did not dare to speak out the reason why he was kicked. He had to swallow this frustration in silence.Caleb opened the door of the meeting room with one hand, and Sebastian followed behind him.Sebastian did not actually know what the CEO had planned, but he trusted him.As they approached, he heard Caleb speak softly in a tone only the two of them could hear."If I'm taken away for investigation, you must let Penny know."Sebastian looked up in surprise. Did he say to let Ms. Sullivan know?However, this matter was the Fergersons’ internal issue
At the same time, news spread within the industry circles that Harrison was about to replace Caleb as the heir of Fergerson Corporation.Everyone watched with a surprised and speculative attitude.Caleb was well-known. Those of his age were often warned by their families not to provoke him. They were aware of his ruthless business tactics.How could Harrison possibly replace him?Yet, that was the message coming from the Fergersons. Moreover, Caleb was temporarily unable to make public appearances due to his involvement in a certain matter.…Meanwhile, Penny sat in her company building, facing several private detectives.She wanted the detectives to get evidence of Florence's scandal and hand it over to entertainment journalists. Under pressure from all sides, Florence would surely have to resign.Moreover, several high-level executives who were close to Florence were involved in messy romantic entanglements.Chadwick, Florence's right-hand man, was as corrupt as she was.Ho
