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
The voice on the phone was crisp, indicative of someone raised in luxury.Zach had already returned from his Hollywood film set, and his participation in the shooting was well-known to all his fans. If he did not appear in the final cut, not only would Zach suffer from online backlash, but S.M. would also be affected.Just as Khloe had said, Penny could not bear such consequences at the moment.The crisp voice continued, “Penny, from now on, you're not allowed to see Cally on your own initiative. Otherwise, both you and your company will suffer greatly. My patience is limited. Don't make me act against you, or you won't wake up to see tomorrow.”After saying this, the call was abruptly ended.Penny stared at her phone and fell silent.Meanwhile, Sean also received news that his little sister was coming to Imperial City. He clenched his phone and asked, “Did Ethan allow you to come? Did Mom and Dad also agree?”Khloe’s voice was full of coquettish charm. She was habitually whinin
Penny wiped the coffee stains from her cheek and looked at Amber.Amber's gaze was full of resentment. After all, all the information she received about Penny was negative.In her view, it was Penny who ruined Caleb, leading him astray and causing the Fergersons to become what they were now. Penny seemed like a harbinger of bad luck to her.Seeing her son sneaking out to meet Penny infuriated her even more.Penny wanted to argue back. Parents who claimed to be acting in their children's best interests often did things that hurt them. They acted as if familial love was a get-out-of-jail-free card.She thought of many retorts, but in the end, she only said one sentence."If you truly cared for Liam, Madam Fergerson, you'd see how unhappy he's now."Amber stiffened as if struck in a vital spot.She dared not turn her head to look at Liam's expression and silently watched Penny pick up her bag. After politely paying for the bill, she left.Apart from that statement, Penny said not
Caleb's tone remained steady."I'm just speaking hypothetically. Prepare a suite for me. I'll stay here for the next four days. For now, don't reveal my situation to the Fergersons.""Rest assured. If you ask for confidentiality, we won't say a word to anyone."Caleb was led away to the only suite available at the facility.The man wiped the sweat from his forehead. The conversation they just had could involve too many people if it became known.He quickly called over a helper assigned to service the area."For the next few days, you'll attend to Mr. Fergerson. Make sure he has everything he needs and serve his meals on time.""Understood."After Caleb arrived at the suite, he sat in a chair by the window.The place was relatively quiet.He took out his phone and saw missed calls from Penny. She probably wanted to ask about the Fergersons.He turned off his phone, aligning with the fact that he was detained for investigation. Placing the phone aside, he propped his chin wi
The person who sent her this message must know Casby. Casby had even talked to this person about their promise.Penny reopened the letter, where she could still glimpse the man's gentleness.She wanted to know if he was really dead.This mystery had always troubled her, often turning into a tormenting nightmare at night.Unless she unraveled this mystery and discovered his identity and real name, both the ring and the letter would forever be a thorn in her heart—as well as Caleb's heart.Penny sighed, locked the items away, and went downstairs.This time, she returned to Quentin. It had been only two hours since she left, and Quentin was surprised to see her again."Mr. Parker, I need to ask, are you really sure Caleb will be safe? Are you certain he has a backup plan?"Quentin was putting on white gloves. He nodded slightly."Finn is rather calm, so he must know something. When Finn starts panicking, that's when we should really start to worry."Penny felt relieved, and her
