Winston also chimed in."Yeah, she's pretty smart. After calling a few of us, she left. If she had been any slower, Harrison and Joel would have targeted her, right? And before leaving, she even managed to arrange for everything to be done at her company. She truly deserves to be the CEO."Both men's words were laced with mockery. They were subtly ridiculing Caleb's poor taste in women.As for Quentin, who knew the whole truth, was not there that night. Hence, no one spoke up for Penny.In the past, Caleb would have definitely retorted against these two.Yet now, he remained silent and just quietly held his glass of wine.It felt as if all the bitterness in the world was churning in his stomach. He wanted to drink some wine to suppress this bitter taste, but each sip only made it more bitter. It was accompanied by a sense of melancholy.It seemed that when it came to Penny, she was truly clear when it came to her feelings, regardless of what he did.So what if they had been int
Caleb was in a deadlock, yet Khloe still came to see him while enduring her illness. It seemed profoundly affectionate.The crowd began to tease them, but Caleb, who was being held onto, just hung his head. He remained silent.At that moment, everyone seemed to forget about Penny. They treated her as if she was just a passerby in Caleb's life.Khloe's words allowed her to quickly blend into the circle, and with her status, she rightfully sat next to Caleb.Caleb did not say anything. He merely leaned back, his Adam's apple moving slightly.He was somewhat drunk.He even took out his phone and could not resist calling Penny again.This time, the call was answered, but it was a man."Hello, I'm Casby. This is Penpen's phone. Do you need something?"Caleb's pupils constricted sharply. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He sobered up slightly, feeling cold from his heart to his toes."Who are you?"He almost reflexively asked again, feeling like the name sounded fam
Penny was still a little dizzy because she had just woken up. When she heard this on the phone, she did not react immediately. It took her a moment to digest the information and remember that she called Caleb's phone, and Khloe was the one answering.She had been unconscious these past few days, surviving on nutrient solutions. She felt very weak.On the other end of the line, Khloe's voice continued."Don't call him again."Her tone was much colder this time. It was even deliberately lowered."Otherwise, I'll make your life a living hell."After hanging up, Khloe quickly deleted the call log from the phone. She then walked out of the private room and went to the entrance.Caleb had already been helped into the car and was resting against the seat.The light inside the car was dim, and his Adam's apple moved as he stared ahead. His expression was partially obscured in the darkness, looking somewhat fierce. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.Khloe handed the phone
Penny took the stomach medicine, her forehead covered in a cold sweat.Winona glanced in the rearview mirror, pondered for a long while, and then said, "Ms. Sullivan, there's a rumor circulating in the social circle recently. It says Mr. Fergerson has become involved with the Strausses’ young lady. The Strausses are a wealthy family overseas. "Moreover, Mr. Fergerson has won the battle quite impressively this time, and everyone is talking about him."Penny cracked a smile, realizing that he had already won.Although she had been worried about his situation, learning of his victory did not surprise her at all.Indeed, he was always meant to sit majestically on his throne.Seeing that Penny gave no particular instructions, Winona pressed the gas pedal.Back at Dawn Haven Villa, Penny immediately noticed the Alpha wolf sitting upright on the sofa when she entered the living room.However, she still did not realize he was a wolf. She thought Blanche was a dog."Blanche?" she call
Sebastian did not dare to ask further questions and called Penny back, informing her that he would come to pick up Blanche in the evening.Penny hesitated for a moment before replying, "Alright."She did not say anything else.She rested at Dawn Haven Villa until the afternoon. As expected, Sebastian arrived in the evening.Penny tried to use a dog leash to secure Blanche for Sebastian's convenience, but she found all the leashes at home too small. Blanche was too robust to fit any of them."Mr. Quinn, I'll have someone go to the mall and buy a new dog leash," she suggested.Sebastian had no choice but to wait.Penny sent a bodyguard to the mall, who returned in 20 minutes with the largest leash available, but it was still too small for Blanche.Moreover, Blanche was unwilling to listen to Sebastian. When he tried to get him into the car, he defiantly went off to wreak havoc in the garden.Feeling helpless, Penny called out, "Blanche!"Blanche, whose name had only recently be
The voices that were originally speculating it was Florence suddenly quieted down, and everyone turned their accusations toward Penny.Winona frowned at this and showed the computer screen to Penny."Ms. Sullivan, just as you said, Florence has guided public opinion to target you," Winona reported.After all, Penny's name had been a constant presence on the trending searches, especially whenever Zach's name appeared.Penny sat in her chair, her eyes devoid of emotion."Wait until public opinion peaks, then release the video where Florence's face is clearly visible. After exposing her, the public uproar will last for a while. Then, gradually release information about other executives of Astral Motion Pictures," Penny instructed.Following this trend, news about Astral Motion Pictures would dominate the trending searches for the next month.The company's reputation would be severely tarnished, with everyone viewing their signed artists through a lens of suspicion. They would start
Khloe propped her chin as she continued to read the online news with great interest. Her lips curved into a smile."By the way, I've decided to bring dinner to Cally. I heard he's still working overtime. It's really heartbreaking."Upon hearing this, Wind lowered his eyelashes in disappointment.Meanwhile, Khloe happily picked up a lunchbox and left the house.Watching her leave, Wind's gaze was filled with affection.The Strausses had entrusted him with Khloe's protection, a testament to their trust in him. As the head of the Strausses' security team and the best in his field, he had violated one principle—he had fallen in love with Khloe.Despite her brutal treatment of her enemies, she always spoke with an innocent tone. It was a contradiction that was incredibly alluring.Yet he knew Khloe did not reciprocate his feelings. She saw him merely as a sword in her hand.Even so, he found joy in this role.When Khloe arrived at Fergerson Corporation, it was already 7:00 pm.Cal
Penny sat in the car, thought for a moment, and sent him a text message.[Blanche has run away.]After waiting for ten minutes, there was still no response from Caleb. Her message seemed to have vanished into thin air.The bodyguard driving the car sounded anxious."Ms. Sullivan, a dog Blanche's size is too large for domestic keeping in Imperial City. If someone reports it to the police, he might..."Penny's heart tightened. Although Blanche and Nani did not get along, she had grown quite fond of Blanche.She saw a reflection of Caleb in him.Meanwhile, Blanche was running wildly through the streets.While sitting in her car, Khloe happened to see a white shadow flash past the window.There was probably no woman out there who would dislike Blanche. His fur was so white it almost shone, not to mention his impressive demeanor.Earlier, she was upset about not seeing Caleb. Khloe had sulked and called for someone to pick her up.Yet now, a spark lit up in her eyes, and her lips
